Base item

Malware Matrix enables

  • Reduces the target's Armor for a duration.

  • Reduces the target's Magic Resist (commonly by 30%, though the amount varies by source) for a duration, or for the rest of combat with some effects.

Malware Matrix counters

  • The physical-defense stat that reduces incoming AD damage. Tank items, the Bastion trait, and champions or items that grant flat Armor all feed into this mechanic, alongside the handful of effects that scale a bonus off a unit's Armor value. Sunder is its inverse — a debuff that reduces enemy Armor.
