=== Armor reduction ===
The [[armor]] damage reduction is applied after general reductions. Armor reduces all instances of damage dealt - excluding [[beam]] and [[damage over time]] effects - by 7, up to 50%. Effectively, this means that any damage instance which damage output is above 14 will receive the flat 7 damage reduction, whereas any instance below 14 will be reduced by 50% instead. The damage of beam effects will instead get reduced by 30% regardless of their damage, and damage over time effects completely ignore armor. In the different cases, armor reduction is calculated as follows:

Non-beam weapons dealing at least 14 damage:
<pre style="margin:1em auto;">armorRed = 7</pre>

Non-beam weapons dealing less than 14 damage:
<pre style="margin:1em auto;">armorRed = 0.5 * damageOut</pre>

Beam weapons:
<pre style="margin:1em auto;">armorRed = 0.3 * damageOut</pre>

The armor reduction amount will then be subtracted from the damage after general reduction:
<pre style="margin:1em auto;">damageAfterArmor = damageAfterRed - armorRed</pre>
