Armor

How do you increase a toon's armor level? Mods? Gear? Any help will be much appreciated.

Mods, gear, and levels.

Armor mitigates physical damage, resistance mitigates special damage. "Defense" is a term that means "Both Resistance and Armor."

You mean defense? The major stats grow with lvl, gear, mods.
Other stats such as speed go higher with mods or particular gear parts.

Load up Chewbacca's stats (since that's someone everyone has) and look at the descriptions of Strength and Tactics. Strength improves his Armor, Tactics improves his Resistance separately.

Armor and Resistance are specific subsets of the general Defense.

I thought it was a one word association game and my first thought was "useless".... On a serious note, the toons I worry about defense/armor on are a pretty short list...

Yeah there is a stat if you look at a toon for armor %. For example, my sith trooper has 38% armor. Does increasing this stat do anything useful for the toon?

38% armor means you're taking 38% less* damage from all physical attacks. So. Yes.

*(There's an Armor Penetration stat that will reduce this, so not exactly 38%, but you get the point.)

I dont believe defense is quite that effective or literal.

It actually is that effective. Anybody who's run a resistance team against kylo should know what I'm talking about. If you can pop off a whole bunch of turns before he moves, your specials that may normally crit for 30k crit will barely crit for 5k or so

Well luckily you don't have to believe it, it's true whether you believe it or not.
