True Defense

True Defense is one of the player's combat stats. It reduces True Damage, however True Defense does not reduce regular damage.

Mechanics

Damage Reduction

The amount of True Damage a player takes is reduced depending on the player's True Defense. It is calculated with this formula: $Damage Reduction = \frac{True Defense}{100 + True Defense}$
Normal Damage is not affected by True Defense.
