Carapace vs other games
Carapace N means the card takes N less damage from each damage source, combat or card effect. It never runs out, and it stacks: Carapace 1 plus Oathstone’s Carapace 1 is Carapace 2.
Is it like…
Resist in Disney LorcanaYes
Yes. Resist +N reduces each hit a character takes by N, never runs out and adds up with more Resist, just like Carapace. The difference is the game around it: Lorcana damage stays, Azuki entity damage resets each turn.
What’s the same and what’s differentTough in Legends of RuneterraMostly
Mostly. Tough means a unit takes 1 less damage from all sources, the same as Carapace 1. Carapace carries a number and stacks; Tough is a single keyword.
What’s the same and what’s differentArmor in HearthstoneNo
No. Armor is a pool of extra health on your hero that soaks damage until it’s used up. Carapace never runs out; it takes the same amount off every hit.

No. Divine Shield blocks the first damage completely, then pops. Carapace takes a fixed amount off every hit and never pops.
What’s the same and what’s differentResistance in Pokémon TCGPartly
Partly. Resistance takes a fixed amount off damage from attacks of one type. Carapace takes it off all damage, from any source.
