* Averted in ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]''. Even though main character Douglas Sangnoir has a mutant power which makes him difficult, if not almost impossible, to hit with an attack, he ''also'' wears a suit of form-fitting, flexible body armor for those times when the attack gets past his defenses, being well aware of [[The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort]]. It's saved his life a couple of times in the story material extant as of mid-2021.

Line 80:
* Most of the troops in ''[[Red Cliff]]'' wear various forms of armor which provide no protection whatsoever. Master Archers who (because this is a [[John Woo]] film) can [[Improbable Aiming Skills|bullseye any target they can see]] shoot enemy troops right through their breast plates, not even bothering to aim a few inches higher to hit exposed necks. The senior generals frequently cut off limbs with a single stroke, not even slowed down by the heavy metal armor their targets are wearing.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within]]'', the soldiers wear all of this heavy armor that does nothing to protect them from Phantoms.

High Table [[Heavily Armored Mook]]s wear full-body SWAT-style tactical gear that is bulletproof everywhere and John either has to grapple them to expose weakpoints or use special [[Armor-Piercing Attack]]s in order to kill.
Line 220:
* Zigzagged in ''[[Gauntlet (1985 video game)|Gauntlet]]''. Thor doesn't need armor - he avoids 30% damage despite [[Walking Shirtless Scene|being bare-chested!]] On the other hand, Thyra wears plate armor, and she resists 40% of damage.
* In ''[[Lethal Company]]'', all employees wear [[Hazmat Suit]]s, but it doesn't do anything to protect them from the bloodlike substance a Masked vomits.
* Averted in ''[[Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice]]'' with the Armored Warrior, who wears full plate and is immune to Wolf's attacks. Instead, he is a [[Puzzle Boss]] whose
