Is Azuki’s Carapace like Armor in Hearthstone?
NoNo. 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.
Carapace in the Azuki TCG
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.
Different
- Armor is spent as it absorbs damage. Carapace reduces each hit and is never spent.
- Armor protects only the hero. Carapace is mostly on entities, and Fortifying Concoction can give it to your leader.
