The armour value is the total of all the defensive items you are currently wearing, and modifies your defense in battle. Weapon aim indicates how easy the weapon you are holding is to aim and modifies your attack skills, wheras weapon power shows how much damage the weapon you are holding can do and modifies your strength skill.
