I don't know if I would base a rule decision on a press release, since these things generally aren't written by the people who designed the game.

I'm not just basing it on the press release just using it as a pointer. As has been stated the card itself needs clarification as it is ambiguous however I believe that it was supposed to reference psychic combat because to me that makes sense If there were no psychic armours though then it would be a rather pointless ability and then to be honest not really worthy of being a relic.

Something we won't know the answer to until the expansion is released.

Now heres the but....I think it was actually meant to refer to psychic combat only, due to the "The Windlord Amulet is a powerful magic weapon that can greatly aid its wielder in psychic combat"

Thing is, the ability to negate armour does not greatly aid anybody, battle or psychic combat. For one, the ability only applies if you've already won without it, and your opponent happens to have armour. Two, the main reason for attacking somebody is to steal their stuff. Unless your opponent is down to one life this will almost never even be meaningful.

The +2 bonus is sifficient to "greatly aid" its wielder, but the secondary ability doesn't contribute to that allegation.

Just asked John Goodenough himself. Applies to both psychic combat and battle.
