Is magical damage armor negating?

from Elemental Forums

I'm wondering if magical damages take into account armor? I hope not, or creating units with magical staff would not be super interesting (they eat crystal and don't do more damages than archers).

 

Care to enlighten me?

Magical damage bypasses armor.

But if the unit has fire resistance, cold resistance, and shock resistance, then these are taken into account for damage purposes.

There is actually defense and resistance for each element. 

To answer OP, elemental attacks are not affected by physical (blunt, pierce, cutting) armor.
