Defense Chart (Rev. 2)

Defense is: Straight 1 point per 1 damage reduction, but caps at 85% of total damage.
Because of this, every damage number in the game has a minimum amount of damage it will hurt a player for.

In other words: If a projectile hits you for 50 damage, and you have 50 defense, you will take 7 damage from that projectile because of the 85% reduction cap; 50 - 42.5 (85% of 50) = 7.5, which rounds down to 7 in realm.

Therefore the minimum damage of 50 is 7.

Because of the cap, you only need a defense stat of 43 to defend against a projectile that does 50 damage. any additional defense won’t matter.

The table list a projectile’s damage, the minimum damage that projectile can do, and the minimum defense a player needs to take the minimum damage from that projectile.
