Defense & Penetration

Defense reduces Damage taken by a %. Penetration subtracts directly from Defense. Penetration is overall a very low value stat due to how Defense works.  

  • In PVE, Damage will be reduced by 10% of your Defense value

  • In PVP, Damage will be reduced by 1% of your Defense value

Example Scenario:

Damage dealt is 500 with 100 penetration against a target with 200 defense

  • The Defense after Penetration is 100 (200 Defense - 100 Penetration)

  • 10% of 100 = 10

  • 500 - 10 = 490 Damage after Defense and Penetration calculations (499 for PVP)
