Bouncer question: Squig Armor and armor reduction

[Orontes]

When in full bouncer mode with the increase in armor: does an armor reduction (say from an evil WL's Forced Opportunity) decrease one's armor from the totaled amount (from all stats, talismans, etc. that has one at armor X) or does it reduce armor from the base armor itself?

It's likely x2 the effect while using horned squig. I never got to test this myself, because i'm not going to .getstats in the middle of fighting a white lion, and duels no longer work.

Here is how I see it, say I have 2000 armor from items, horned squig gives me 4000 total armor, then I get armor de buffed for 1000, i'm no longer gaining 2000 armor from items, i'm gaining 1000, so now I have 2000 armor from horned squig.

It debuffs by the value of the debuff, if with a potion, horned squig and sneaky strike you reach a value of 3850 and are hit by a 1600 armour debuff then you will have 2250 armour.

Thank you for the explanation.
