Armor
Armor determines how much damage a unit will resist before losing health during combat

Armor is one of the 3 attributes that appears on creeps and heroes
.: The other attributes are power and health
.: Every single unit has power and health, but only some have armor

Damage Formula
.: A unit deals damage to its targets health based on its power, but that damage is reduced by the targets armor first

Armor is not removed by damage
.: Armor can only be reduced through ability or item effects such as Vicious Nasal Goo

Armor is represented by a shield icon
.: Armor equipment also is represented by an Armor icon. It also typically inherently increases armor on heroes

Armor can be modified through abilities and items
