**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
All effects with two-phase damage triggers twice for orcs. On screen I hit with mang that 1. Remove armor, 2. Damage for 20. So with third orc (40 armor, 49 life) I expect 29 life and 5 armor.

In reality I remove armor, and Orc Armor triggered. THEN I hit for 20 (leave orc with 34, obviously), and armor triggers again!

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Always.

**Steps to make it happen again**

1. Get any unit with 2-phase damage.
2. Attack orc.
3. Observe 5 life/armor more than expected.

IIRC, that is because removing armour counts as damage, triggering Orc Armour. Then the actual damage triggers the second Orc Armour. Methinks this maybe a “working by design, but not intention” type of bug.

Mm - it’s also inconsistent, though, I think, with regards to barriers (where it doesn’t count as damage).

There are some similar reports on this before [here](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/not-a-bug-orc-armor-triggering-without-damage-dealt/48752) and [here](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/how-did-he-live-mang-vs-orc-armor/45417)

In this scenario, removal of armor counts as taking damage, so the trait **Orc Armor** is triggered.

Actually, I am struggling only about idea “triggered _twice_”. Looks wrong for me. _shrugs_ Ah, well.

Meanwhile, as I noticed, in “blast” scenario all removed stones counts as one damage source. It would be funny if they was separate (as intuitively must be) - then Orc Armor would be great way to counter them. Loud thinking. 🙂
