Thread: Defense, how does it work.

Odette had 100% MR on her event (as an enemy)

There is also a boss golen with 60K HP, 3500 DEF, 60 MR, 5200 ATK

Nevermind, Odette had 100 def, I looked at the wrong wiki square

But the map itself made everyone with 90% MR

"Your team's magic damage becomes progressively weaker in the event maps, as follows:

Monster Extermination E: 0.7x

Monster Extermination N: 0.5x

Monster Extermination H: 0.3x

Monster Extermination X: 0.1x"

It is possible to get Sophie up 80 MR on DMM. This requires having another unit with the awaken ability of giving all units +10 MR. Additionally, Sophie's awakened ability will then double her MR when active, causing it to go up to 80 (normally it would be 60 due to her 30 MR).

As for the highest natural MR among obtainable units though, that would so far be Cynthia with 40 MR on her own (which can be raised to 50 with the previously noted unit).

There is also Odette who has a skill that at max is akin to giving units 20 MR, but it actually does so via reducing the attack of magic enemies by 20%, thus if used with a Sophie possessing 80 MR would presumably result in her taking 16% (20% of the reduced 80%) of the total damage rather than 0% (admittedly as I don't play on DMM I have not tested this to confirm).

As for how defense works, in case of archers it should be like this:

Archer's damage 100 vs def 50 = 50 damage, 100vs90 = 10 damage, 100vs100+ = 10 damage with a chance of ricochet dealing 0 damage.
I'm not 100% positive on that though, but if def is higher than your archer's attack, then attack wont penetrate a lot.

Does the same apply for pirates and cannoneers?

physical attack calculation: (attack - def) or 10% of attack, whichever is higher.

as for deflection, my understanding is:
archer arrows have a chance to be deflected if their attack is lower than target's def. Other physical damage does not have a chance of getting deflected.
