So I have been hearing some conflicting things when it comes to the Krea's animus and effecting AOE blast damage. Some people have been telling me that a Krea's aura does not grant the armor bonus vs blast damage because they claim it isn't a ranged attack damage roll its a blast damage roll and the krea's aura only effects ranged attacks not blast damage. However in reading the rule book (pdf version in the app page 53) under Area-of-Effect (AOE) Attacks it defines an AOE attack as the following:
"An attack with an area of effect (aoe) is sometimes referred to as an AOE attack. A ranged attack with an AOE is still a ranged attack, a magic attack with an AOE is still a magic attack, and a melee attack with an AOE is still a melee attack."
To me that sounds like the blast damage would count as a ranged attack thus the krea's armor bonus would be granted vs the damage?
Any help clarifying this would be helpful. I'm one of the newer players at my local store and if I start contradicting the older mk2 players on how the rules work I'm going to need an explanation to back it up.

. Especially as a newer player don't be afraid to correct them if need be, or at least ask another player in the store if what someone is telling you doesn't make sense. (Sounds like you're doing that mind you, so great!)
