    If a Taqeul Officer that has taken one wound and lost their Symbiont Armor successfully activates Regeneration, what happens?

    Nothing happens, because there’s no wound to recover.
    The ‘deactivated armor’ state doesn’t get canceled by healing (or trying to heal) the model.

    Keep in mind that Regeneration is normally used when the model is unconscious, so you’d use it when the Taqeul Officer has taken a second wound.

    Edit: For reinforcement that healing a model with Inactive Armor doesn’t restore the armor, see the healing example in Symbiot Armor:
    Boona, a courageous Kumotail Bioengineer, is in base contact with a Gorgos, a Tohaa TAG, in an Unconscious state, therefore using its Inactive Symbiont Armor Profile. If Boona spends 1 Short Skill and succeeds at a WIP Roll, the Gorgos will recover 1 point of its Wounds Attribute, passing from Unconscious state to Normal, with 1 point of the Wounds Attribute, and keeping its Inactive Symbiont Armor Profile. However, Boona cannot make this TAG recover more Wounds.
    If Boona fails her WIP Roll to cure the TAG it will enter directly the Dead state, and the Gorgos model must be removed from the battlefield.

    Nothing, or he fails and goes KO.

    There is no way to recover the symbiont armor on the game, and the only way to "heal it" is with the pheroware program (symbio bug or bomb or something...)

    SymbioBombs and using Revitalis. But it requires the Symbiont to still be active (or alive, however you want to call it). SymbioMates just prevents damage.

    The difference is that Doctor can only be used on an unconscious model. Regeneration can be used at any time. A model with Symbio is treated as a 2 wound model for all other purposes, including shock and viral death immunity, so they clearly have two wounds. While I don’t necessarily disagree with your conclusion, I don’t feel it’s as clear as that.

    no it doesnt.

    A model with symbio armour is treated as two single wound profiles in all cases except shock.

    Bumping this thread because there's now a 2W Symbiont Armor with Regen.

    Can the Kiel-San regen wounds on his symbiont armor?

    Yes, but he can't use Regen to regain the armor when it is gone.
