I think the wording is very important on that "'and it is treated as if there is a size 3 Armordragon monster on your field'" for Gold Ritter.

''Gold Ritter is an Item card, and always an Item card only. It does however (from the Item zone) set a condition on the controller's field that treats the field as if there is a size 3 monster on it. That's it. This is why Gargantua Punisher will work, because it checks for a monster in either players' centers and the life. ''Evil Crusher, Steel Dragon Barrage! will not work because it checks for a monster on your opponents' field. While there is no monster physically in the left, center or right areas, there is the pre-set condition of a size 3 monster being treated as if it was on the field.

Dragoenergy will work because it targets the Armordragon attribute on Gold Ritter, and while Gold RItter is not a monster, it is an Item with a defensive value, and therefore partakes in combat when being attacked. Fortune-shield will not work because there is no monster to target, as Gold Ritter is always an Item card that sets the condition of a size 3 monster being on the field.
