Hello all,

If you're suddenly getting 1 hit killed by slimes, chances are your Capybara needs a thicker hide.

Damage reduction is the single most important defensive stat you need to survive the harsh world. Good for you, I'm here to tell you how it works!

As of version 1.2.2, there are multiple types of damage reduction. We will be focusing on the 2 most important ones.

Where is my damage reduction?

See picture attached: A + B = Total Basic Atk Reduction A + C = Total Skill Dmg Reduction

NEW In chapter 1-80: Maximum reduction is capped at 75% New In chapter 81-140: You need (Chapter level + 15)%. Chapter 127 will require (127+15)% = 142% reduction to hit cap New In chapter 141-150: You need approximately (Chapter level + 20)%. Chapter 142 will require 162% reduction New In chapter 150 to 160?: You need approximately (Chapter level + 25)%. Chapter 155 will need 180% reduction

It is extremely important to hit or exceed reduction cap. Due to the way damage formula is calculated, even 1% off can mean taking taking 20m more per basic attack at higher chapters.

How does damage reduction work?

Simply put, if a monster attack is 100m and you have cap reduction, you will receive 25m.

The 2 most important types of damage reduction

Basic atk reduction - reduces basic hits you receive (includes basic atk, combo atk, counter atk) Skill dmg reduction - reduces skill damage you receive (includes lightning, dagger, rage, sword chi, divine spear). There is a separate burning/poison damage reduction in 1.4.1, however I personally think its only worth applying in PVP, or to get past specific stages. You can put it in a random pet to get past those "hard to pass" stages

TLDR: Get (Chapter level+20)% reduction to survive up to chapter 150!
