This article is about the armor class in Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas. For the unit in the same game, see Mameluke (Age of Empires II). |

The Mameluke armor class is an armor class created in Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas, but practically existing since Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. All units that have an attack bonus against this class deal bonus damage against Mamelukes, which are trainable by Saracens only. Effectively, the class is used to make anti-cavalry attacks weaker against Mamelukes, as the latter takes both anti-camel and anti-cavalry bonus damage.
The way this armor class works is by reducing the anti-cavalry attacks of units (except Halberdier) by 11. The anti-cavalry attack of Halberdier is reduced by 21 due to this armor class.
