Bolt 60 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Commanders, What is Defense? what does it do? Defense lowers the damage your units take from any source. The more Defense your unit has, the less damage it will take when attacked. But how much? Read on to find out! Defense works as follows: (Def/1000+Def )= Damage Mitigation For example, if you have a Unit with Defense 200, then: (200/1,200)=0.1666 This translates into 16.66% damage mitigation. What is damage mitigation? how much less damage you take when attacked. In this example, when your Unit with 200 Defense is attacked, for every 100 points of damage, it ignores 16.66 of it, taking only 100-16.66=83.34. Not a big difference, right? Let's see what happens when you crank up the Defense Stat: 500 Defense (500/1500)=33.33% 600 Defense (600/1600)=37.5% 700 Defense = 41.17% 1000 Defense = 50% 1500 Defense = 60% 2100 Defense = 67.74% And so on. At 2,100 Defense, instead of taking 100 points of damage, you take 32.26! Defense is a very important stat to consider when evaluating a Units survivability. Units with both high HP and Defense are incredibly durable. I hope this Intel helps inform your Battlefield decisions Commander! 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Immel 77 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Thank you been trying to figure this out for over 6 months now, i was looking at attack vs defence ratio and could not make it work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mauro87 27 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi, thanks for the explanation. I wondered if there was a difference between a light tank and a heavy tank with equal defense and life ?. What are these letters, defensive parameters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bolt 60 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi, thanks for the explanation. I wondered if there was a difference between a light tank and a heavy tank with equal defense and life ?. What are these letters, defensive parameters? Those are a visual aid to give you an idea of where this unit ranks overall. In your example, they would have the same survivability since currently there aren't any effects that specifically distinguish between light and heavy tanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pluto 12 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thank you so much for the clarification! I have been holding off on specific upgrades because of this reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
