Another Behemoth Question

Hey,
So I am at a dilemma. I have the Samurai Armor currently, and just got my 8th Armor of Bashing Fragment. Sweet! New Armor! except is it actually better? I know Bashing gives a boost in HP, but is the loss of Defense and attack speed worth it?

Thanks again for the help!

Which piece? What is the trade off in stats?

These are the stats from the wiki:

Samurai Armor
HP: +200
Defense: +1
Increase Attack Speed: 14%

V.S.

Bashing Armor
HP +360
Increase Movement Speed 10%
HP Regen +8 per second


For me, I go for the Samurai Armor, but I don't have any clue on how good the +8 hp per second is.

use your hero to attack a friend's army once with samurai armor and once woth the bashing armor. That should tell you which is more effective.

I was thinking the same thing. This will help you.

Hero Armor :
The hero reduces damage in the following manner against all the attack types (Normal, Piercing and Magic )
Damage received = (Attack dmg of attacking units - Defense of Hero Armor)/2 = Final value , rounded down.
Eg. A level 2 Archangel (magic dmg 26) hitting a hero with defense 10.
Damage received = (26-10)/2 = 8 dmg on hit
Eg. 2 A level 3 Mage (magic dmg 17) hitting a hero with defense 10.
Damage received = (17-10)/2 = 3.5 dmg , rounded down to 3 dmg on hit.

I had a choise between Glory Gauntlets (+110HP, +2Def) and Shadow Claws (+3 Def) for Zerk.
I wear Shadow Claws now and that's why (IMHO):
1 Def = -1 Hero Attack = -2 unit (Normal, Piercing, Magic) attack
This mean that is I receive more than 55 (110/2) hits from units per round so better to take Shadow Claws.
Hope it's clear.

One more interesting thing:
I have hero with 17 Defence
Damage received from units = (Attack dmg - Defense of Hero)/2 = Final value , rounded down.
As an example mage with Attack dmg 30 hit hero
(30-17)/2=6.5=6
(30-18)/2=6
As for me this means no really big sence (for lowering damage from units!) to upgrade def +1, only +2
