nevermind. I guess it only applies if the skill triggers on defense, & armored blaze, etc trigger on offense. I hate the way they word these skills sometimes.

I wish y'all would add information that mentioned whether or not this works with combination attack & defense specials, like armored blaze. It seems to meet the qualification of, "having reduce dmg by %" in the skill, but I'm not sure if it needs to be a defense only skill. I don't want to waste my limited premium inheritance to test this.
