Editing Damage modification (section)

== Damage reduction ==
Damage reduction effects reduce the damage taken by the hero it is applied to. Damage reduction effects from different sources generally stack additively with each other, however there is a twofold cap to damage reduction effects: First, the combined total of general damage taken reduction effects is capped at 50%. Second, the final damage after all modifications are applied is also capped at 50% of the damage output by the attacker. Single abilities that grant more than 50% by itself may override these limits.

=== Armor ===
{{main|Armor}}

Armor is a type of recoverable health that reduces damage taken by that portion of hit points by 7, up to 50% of the incoming damage. Armor is applied separately after calculating general [[#Damage reduction|damage reduction]] effects, but it will count toward the 50% global damage reduction cap.
