Armorsmith is a rare warrior minion card, from the Classic set. Its ability grants the controlling hero 1 Armor each time a friendly minion takes damage.
How to get
Armorsmith can be obtained through Classic card packs, through crafting, or as an Arena reward. Regular Armorsmith can also be obtained through the Highest Rank Bonus chest at the end of a Ranked season, or as a first-time reward for first time reaching Silver 10 or Gold 10 in Ranked mode.
| Card | Crafting cost | Disenchanting |
|---|---|---|
| Armorsmith | 100 | 20 |
| Golden Armorsmith | 800 | 100 |
Notes
- The Armorsmith grants 1 Armor each time a friendly minion takes damage. This includes damage which kills a minion, and damage taken by the Armorsmith herself (including fatal blows). Damage that removes Divine Shield on friendly minions will not trigger the Armorsmith's effect.
- Note that 1 Armor is granted each time a friendly minion takes damage; the Armorsmith can provide a substantial upside to effects like
Avenging Wrath.
Strategy
This minion is very well suited to a defensive warrior deck. By using this minion alongside other minions that have a combination of high Health and Taunt, it allows the warrior to stack large amounts of Armor, which combines extremely well with Shield Slam.
The Armorsmith is a powerful card capable of contributing large amounts of Armor to the summoning hero. For this reason opponents will almost always want to remove her as quickly as possible. Summoning warriors should do their best to protect their Armorsmiths.
It goes without saying that having an Armorsmith in play greatly rewards the warrior for creating as much carnage as possible, making cards like Whirlwind a lot more desirable.
With the 
Alley Armorsmith, the armor gained by both cards can generate a huge amount of Armor, making the Armorsmiths even more useful if they protected well.
In control decks, this minion can be very powerful, granting Armor while being able to take out most 1-Health minions without dying itself.
If used effectively, Armorsmith can help counter aggro decks.
If your opponent plays a Patron Warrior deck, at some point they will likely use a Whirlwind or two to summon more Grim Patrons. Armorsmith can serve as deterrent to this play, or provide some compensation by generating a good amount of Armor for you in the process.
