Equip {3}. This ability costs {1} less to activate for each other Equipment you control. ({3}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

Official rulings

  2. If a creature with ward is equipped with Plate Armor, becoming the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls will cause both ward abilities to trigger. (2021-07-23)
