Armored Unit is a designation certain classes have that mark them with a vulnerability to anti-armor weapons (e.g., Armorslayer, Hammer) and grant them certain terrain dis/advantages.
Overview[]
In general, armored classes have relatively high stat caps and stat growths in HP and Defense, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Perhaps as a balancing mechanic, their armored typing can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, thus compromising their physical bulk; their armored typing also adds additional movement cost to certain terrain types.

Relevant Weapons & Skills[]
Certain weapons with weapon effectiveness will penalize the user with a with a reduction in damage output (as noted with the Might being colored red) and even more if the unit is fighting against someone with a weapon effectiveness against them. These effects apply to all of the anti-armor weapons in this game.
Weapons with the True Power and Divine Favor weapon attributes will negate the damage penalty from forging weapon effectiveness traits into their weapons.
The DLC-exclusive Iote's Shield skill, which is tied to Minerva, negates the holder's weaknesses whenever applicable.
As the only non Generic (and thus the only one capable of using a full moveset or acting as a boss character) semi-armored unit is Frederick the Great Knight, anti-cavalry weapons work just as well as anti-armor when fighting him and are often preferable given there are significantly more enemy cavaliers then Armored units.
As the game is a Warriors-styled game, random weapon drops from both post-battle and from Amiibo gifts have the chance to roll up having one or two weapon effectiveness traits in their weapon attributes, but after obtaining said traits for that specific weapon variety as prizes for S-rank Clears for specific battles in History Mode.
