Need help...About Armor Reduction.

[cboy123]

Ok. I just need to figure this one out. With your help.
I saw this tower on Vampirism Speed that each time it attacks. It reduces the vampire's armor by 2 per projectile. I know it is an orb effect so can you help me?

Is it like the same spell in dotA disso ?

 

[cboy123]

Zzzzz...Nah...I already tell that I have found this on Vampirism Speed.

ok, you can use triggers for this and spell "Armor Bonus" from items and change it value to "-5" for exemple. PM me if you need help with triggering

 

[cboy123]

I don't think it's trigger. Not even Orb of Corruption can be level-up

2 per projectile hit, meaning 2 hits = 4 minus armor?

maybe it uses the BonusMod system...

because only the orb of corruptions ability reduce armor per attack hit... you can level it up if it has many levels but only if you give it to the unit instead of the item...

There might be some way to do this with normal abilities but this one is more flexible (e.g. you are able to change armor like 2 4 8 16 32 etc or make it based on damage)
