No brim n rats are more powerful now and king Regen , metal Regen and also armor not work as before.
If you use 18 armor on weapon before forge and u hit brim then it do 20-30 damage max. Generally and now days it do more than 40 generally.
Armor is same but brim n rats more powerful so you can say armor not working 100%
