Local Special Ability
While in close combat, this unit
gains 1 defense die.
Notes from Drake the Lesser
- This ability stacks. If a unit has two ready Heavy Armor icons, you
get two extra defense dice; however, at the current time it is not
possible to create such a unit.
- Heavy Armor is a passive ability. It does not cost order points to
use it. In fact, it is generally only used during your opponent's
turn.
- Heavy Armor is always operative. If you have no ready defense icons,
you still get the one-die bonus.
- Heavy Armor has no effect during ranged combat. The
analogous ability for ranged combat defense is
Wall of Shields.
