Blackcloth Armor not reducing damage

Party: Lem, Amiri, Valeros, Sajan, Kyra

Story Mode: 3-2 Legendary (Impending Doom, Darkest Night)

 

I encountered the Shadow at the Guard Tower with Valeros. Lost combat by 2, Blackcloth armor could only be discarded for damage and could not be banished/buried to reduce damage to 0.

Did you use the combat ability? If you did, it is not possible to use it again in the damage delivery phase.

This^. If you revealed the Blackcloth to add +1 to your check, this counts as you playing your 1 allowed Armor card on the check, so if you fail - you may not play another Armor. Therefore, even if you had another armor in your hand besides Blackcloth - you shouldn't be able to play that one either.

I want to say I didn't play the becasue I was mad about not using it (and then would only take 1 damage), but I also wasn't paying full attention to the game at the time. I'll try and test it later to verify.

 

EDIT: I must have revealed it (or another armor) for the bonus.
