Please note that if a creature misses a turn due to low morale, Armor of the Damned doesn't cast spells until you have a creature which doesn't miss its turn.

| Armor of the Damned is one of the weakest combination artifacts in the game in regards to stats alone (+3 attack, +3 defense, +2 power, +2 knowledge). Conversely, its effect is easily one of the most powerful, casting a total of four spells at Expert level, at no cost, and leaving the hero free to cast another spell on their action (so potentially 5 spells in a single turn). Of the spells cast, only Misfortune is subpar. Slow is one of the best spells in the game and Weakness and Curse are both fairly potent, especially combined.

|
| Since it casts its spells only when your first unit becomes active, Armor of the Damned works best with a speedy unit stack and/or combat speed artifacts. If the enemy moves before you, they may [[haste]] their units or slow yours, and cripple your army before the Armor ever has a chance of activating.
| | In addition to the regular bonuses, at the beginning of combat (the first time one of your creatures becomes active), it will cast the spells ''[[Slow]], [[Curse]], [[Weakness]]'' and ''[[Misfortune]]'' on all enemy troops with a duration of 50 rounds. |
