I'd like to know how the effective armor is calculated.
I guess cape just ignores everything.
But how does cactus work with knusper.
Is it (armor - knux )*(1 - cactus)= effective armor
Or armor*(1-cactus)-knux.
And if combined with cape the DMG that uses the effective armor is
DMG - cape percentage?
And is it possible to calculate the bonus round wave from the time passed? Because armor is linked to wave count isn't it?

That has everything you could ever need to know. Knuperhexe does a linear removal of armor, allowing you to push their armor values in to the negatives (IE, 10 damage could do more than 10 damage on a hit). It is independent of ignore-armor effects.
Well yeah that's what I already know ;)
But I don't see the independence from armor reduction it certainly has something to do with it. The question is how.

Imagine Creep has 100 armor, and you have something that ignores 10% and a Knuperhexe that removes 200 armor. The Tower is looking at that Creep as though he has just 90 armor. If he enters Knuperhexe's range, that drops to -110. The two effects are "separated" so to speak. It's not her lowering his armor to -100, and then the tower ignores 10% of that effect, leaving it at -90%.
That's just speculation. It might also be the other way around. That's why I ask.

The results seem to consistently prove it in my game (As I usually have my Dark Forge equipped with the Spectral set, and able to fire both in Knuperhexe's effect and out of it), but if you want a 100% definite confirmation, you'll need:
Blood Demon's Blade
Knuperhexe
Armor-Bypassing Item
Ganesha or Manitou
Give the Blood Demon's Blade to Manitou or Ganesha. This will give you a tower with an absolute damage number. Place Knuperhexe within range. Compare their damage before an armor-bypassing item and after.
I don't have Blood Demon in my current file, so I can't do it and post a screenshot.
