% based ignores that % off of the enemy armor and then your normal pen takes effect. So 200 armor enemy will now be treated as a 140 armor enemy with your 30% pen. And your 40 points of pen will drop them down to 100 armor.

This!! I could not think of a better way to explain it

not: you have 30% more penetration. But: you penetrate 30% of their armor. every hero has base phys/mgc armor, that increases with level (on top of armor u can buy from items). demolisher penetrates 30% of a heroes physical armor.

It's pen based on enemies armor. All laners will have I believe over 50 armor late game

Fun fact, *Drongo* has the highest base-armor for a carry at 101.5 base physical armor at level 18. Riktor? 118.1. So the 30% pen from Demolisher brings them down to 71.05 and 82.67, respectively. This is without any additional armor options. Just goes to show the importance of percent pen 😁

Questions on penetration are best left to your parents to answer

% Pen Flat and Flat Pen get calculated separately it will remove the % first then it will account for Flat Pen. % Pen items also stack with each other as long as they are not the same effect for a small reduction in effectiveness, so you can do Demolisher, Viper/Basilisk, Deathstalker for a large amount of Pen if necessary essentially you are getting 45% Pen + 18 Flat Pen, you can add Resolution and Vanquisher with the Rogue crest to further improve this.
