The Defender drone's increase of boosted armor supply vs. Brutus

[qwds 185]

I'm confused by how much Defender increases boosted armor. In the wiki it says "additional" 50% at max upgrade level. Does that mean that Brutus gives stronger protection with 100% boosted armor at max upgrade level? Or that it adds 50% to the default 50% and becomes 100% at max upgrade level?

Every drone will have +50 units (read %) of damage and armour enhancement at 0/20 upgrades. Upgrading a drone to 20/20 will increase that to +100 units. Some drones, in particular Booster, Defender, Trickster, Crisis and Camper, give an additional number of units on top of that.

 

That "additional" is what is being added on top. A Brutus will have 50 + 50 (fully upgraded drone) = 100 units. A Booster will have 50 + 50 (fully upgraded drone) + 20 (extra units at 20/20 upgrades) = 120 units for Boosted Damage supply.

Defender works like this for Boosted Armour. Brutus will have 50 + 50 (fully upgraded drone) = 100 units. A Defender will have 50 + 50 (fully upgraded drone) + 50 (extra units at 20/20 upgrades) = 150 units. 

 

Defender will have more armour at full upgrades than a Brutus. Specifically, at 7/20 is when Defender starts having a higher armour than a 20/20 Brutus.

I understand now, thanks for the answer.
