How does ARMOR work
I had a quick question about armor. I searched the threads and didn't find anything so I am sorry if this has been answered before. So it is my understanding that if you are fighting a fire monster you would want to equip ice weapons to counter the fire. Someone told me tonight that my ice armor was going to be harmful and that I should be wearing FIRE armor to fight FIRE monsters, why does that sound weird to me??

When fighting a fire creature, yes, use the opposing element ice to do greater damage. However, you want to wear the same element of whatever it is you're fighting, to minimize damage that you receive from fire based attacks, lets say.
Fire <-> Ice
Ground <-> Lightning
Dark <-> Light
The higher the percent on a weapon (Striking) the higher the damage to the opposing. Unless of course there is a resistance.
The higher the percent on an armor, the less amount of damage you'll take.
When using bullets and spells, the same applies; use the opposing element.
Hope this helped. <3

goes for fighting anything of that concept.
The % of the armour is far more important than the other stats too.
wouldnt say FAR more, but it helps a bunch. 20%+ armor is good enough.
It's actually more of a combination.
Since stats for DFP are quite low with low modifiers, I guess a good percentage wouldn't do much by itself.
But straight stats won't be efficient if the percentage is low.
So get decent stat with a decent percentage (obviously, the higher percentage, the better).
A YielLine, for instance will do very well even with a percentage in the 20s thanks to its raw stats.
If you think about it, wearing fire armor is essentially like making your character fire-element to the creatures, so fire creatures would do the least damage to you and ice creatures would do the most. (So wear the same element as the creatures you're up against)
(360) If you have a Love Inferno that you're thinking of selling, PM me pleeeeeease.
Keep in mind that regardless of the def. of an armor, having good attributes will protect against technic attacks much better than a high def. value would.
whats the point of neutral armor
Neutral armor is only for those too lazy to switch armors during the course of a mission.
