The [[Lieutenant's Insignia]] is a warrior-specific [[upgrade component]] that reduces the duration of [[hex]]es cast on you, but causes you to deal less [[damage]] and suffer a reduction in [[armor rating]]. The [[damage reduction]] applies to all types of damage you deal, but the armor penalty only applies to the piece to which it is applied.

==Notes==
* Since the placement of this insignia only affects which location suffers the -20 armor penalty, you should use it on the hands, feet, or head, each of which has only a [[Armor rating#Characteristics|12.5% chance of being struck]] (resulting in roughly 5% more damage on average).
* Unlike most other insignias, this one is only found on ''[[Item rarity|rare]]'' [[Salvage item]]s, not ''uncommon'' or ''common'' ones.{{verify|link=https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Talk:Lieutenant%27s_Insignia#Requesting_Verification}}

==Trivia==
* Originally, before the introduction of insignias under [[Insignia/Armor bonus system|the old armor bonus system]], this bonus was only available in [[Guild Wars Prophecies|Prophecies]] for warrior characters with access to [[Henge of Denravi]], where a ''Lieutenant's Helm'' (with an armor level of 60) could be crafted by [[Alemeth]] for 400{{gold}}, 8{{iron}}, 2{{silk}}.{{verify|link=Talk:Lieutenant%27s_Insignia#Over_Compensating}}
** Unlike other inherent armor bonuses, this one was not available anywhere else, and thus could not be obtained at the maximum armor level of 80.
*** This is likely the reason for the ''Armor -20'' penalty on top of the 5% damage reduction.
** The [[Game_updates/20070524#Armor_Insignias_and_Bonuses|May 24, 2007 update]] changed inherent armor bonuses for Prophecies and Factions armor as well, and made salvageable insignias available for every campaign.
