Damage Reduction

Damage Reduction is a mechanic closely related to  Defense and  True Defense, which reduce the damage taken by the player.  Defense reduces normal damage, and  True Defense reduces ✷ True Damage.

Both normal and true damage reduction are calculated using the same formula:

${\displaystyle \frac{\text{Def}}{\text{Def}+100},}$

where:

${\displaystyle \text{Def}}$ - player's  Defense or  True Defense

 Defense and damage reduction are inversely associated. This means, that the more  Defense the player has, the less damage reduction increases. This leads to a misconception that higher  Defense is useless because the damage reduction only goes up slightly. This is incorrect, for as the difference from 0% to 50% damage reduction may seem more substantial than the jump from 90% to 95%, both are equal in that they double EHP (100-200 vs 1000–2000).
