Armor

Armor is a mostly obscured stat from the player. It applies a damage reduction on damage taken if you have it, and a damage increase if you have a negative amount. This applies to all damage taken, except the damage from a Shrine of Blood.

If you have positive armor:
 * Your damage taken is multiplied by.
 * This is a number between 0 and 1.
 * The formula for damage reduction is:.

If you have negative armor:
 * Your damage taken is multiplied by.
 * This is a number between 1 and 2.
 * Note that the negative armor is subtracted, and two negatives make a positive.

It would take 330 Rose Bucklers (+30 armor while sprinting) to get a damage reduction of 99% while sprinting. This would amount to 9900 armor.
