Normal
Official news dated 2026-10-27 names a 70% cap on the Armor cards.
The Assault Vest no longer counts toward that cap. With the cards maxed, the vest adds on top. If you take the vest off, you keep what the cards gave you.
A community clip calls a damage-reduction cap 80%. That number is Reported. It is not the official Armor-card cap.

The clip describes an ongoing heal. It does not give a heal-per-second number, so this card has none.

No tick percent is stored here.
