Its obvious the % Pen and Base Pen will go on to the game. But it wont fall out. Let's suppose your enemy has 100 AD. U have 100 armor. He will deal 50 dmg to you.

Now suppose you have 200. You reduce dmg by 66%. He will deal 33.3 dmg. It's not half of 50. It's a third of 100. Meaning it will take 2 hits with 100 ar and 3 hits with 200 ar to deal the same dmg with 100 ad. So it increases your effective hp. 1 Ar is 1% more effective physical hp you have. It feels like it falls of because of the percentage Ar Pen, but I can also say hp falls off because of BotRK and Liandry's, since losing 3% hp is the same if you have 1000 or 2000 hp. It won't kill you faster nor slower. It will kill you at the same pace.

SO for those who care NOT to see youtube videos expalining this or reading the info on defense, Ar and MR are always effective, and HP is increased by this efectiveness.

And to answer MY question, yes, getting hp on her first is more beneficial than defenses. Getting lifesteal instead of hp first is also more beneficial than defenses, since the amount healed is harder to take ths to her armor.
