Defense is one of the Combat Stats. It indicates how much damage reduction a player or enemy has when taking
Damage.
Effective Health
Effective Health, or EHP, is the exact amount of Damage a player can take before dying when taking
Health and
Defense into consideration. It is a useful number to check for when comparing armor sets and figuring out which one is better than the other.
Effective Health can be calculated with this formula:
Health
Using this formula, we can figure out how much EHP one would have if they had 1,500 Health and 750
Defense:
This formula can also be used to calculate the exact amount of Damage you would take from True Damage by replacing
Defense with
True Defense.
Damage Reduction
Damage Reduction is a percent value which represents how much Damage a player or enemy will not take when taking
Damage.
The formula for Damage reduction can be seen as follows:
For example, if a player has 500 Defense, the formula will be 500 / 600, resulting in a 83.3%
Damage reduction.
