Mortal armor is accounted for. Adding the armor made by Hephaestus would send him into god warrior territory.

And none of that armor will help him against a foe who can freeze him solid or just f-- shoot him. Mercer is, btw, not a modern warrior in this tourney, since he does not use gunpowder weapons.
