I tried experimenting the unit tester custom map.

A fully upgraded ultralisk, which would have a total 7 armor vs a zergling with a basic attack of 5.

By right, the zergling would not do any damage to the ultralisk coz the ultra has 7 armor compare to the zergling who attacks with only 5.
But when I do a testing, the ultra received about 1 damage for each attack from the ling.

This also goes to the larvae which has armor i think about 10.

Anyone can explain?

every attack should produce at least 1 damage minimum...

there is a minimum damage. something like 0.5 damage if i remember correctly. go lurk chinese forum, they are fking good with the calculation.

AFAIK, a simple 1. rounded if the damage/armor values are in decimals

calculate something like this formula?

Total damage Resistance = 1 - ((1 - 25%) x (1 - 30%) x (1 - 40%))
= 1 - ((1 - 0.25) x (1 - 0.30) x (1 - 0.40))
= 1 - ((0.75) x (0.7) x (0.6))
= 1 - 0.315
= 0.685 or 0.69
= 69%

not sure is that correct.

@@ as i know atk 10 ,14 armor
means deal 10dmg to all type
meanwhile 14 dmg to armored type unit

never knew got reduction like in warcraft 3 =.=a i dun think got reduction

-_______- wtf lol.......

then why do you need to upgrade ground carapace, infantry armor. -.- got reduction la bang

reduce dmg le~ 1+1 = 2 armor = marine dmg 6 = deal 4 dmg only la~

OTOH,

I cannot seem to get any comprehensive information on psionic armor, what does it reduce primarily, spells perhaps eh ;p Anyone has a clue?

psionic mean receive normal dmg no extra from light type dmg or armored dmg~

@ SiewKaiz

Thanks!

When I run through Protoss Dark and High Templar = Light, Biological, Psionic armor type. So what does this mean? They're light and psionic, so how does it work then?

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Psionic, my only resource at the moment, alas doesn't give ultimate definition on psionic armor.

he is prolly referring to "ARMORED" unit types LOL

It's sometime confusing when units like overlord and viking are armored but starts with 0 armor.

^

this OLOLOLOLOLOL

psionic just a term they r a powerful/psi units only

mean HT n DT receive 14 dmg from helion instead of 8 when blue flame.....

why can we miss out the armoured infestor with 90 hp....

both work same way

stalker shoot them dmg 14 instead of 10
pheonix shoot dmg is 5x2 instead of 10x2 coz overload and viking is armored not light thats how armor n attack work in sc2

The BakarAyam is right. As for the mininum dmg, i believe it's 0.5 per hit iirc
