🦾Defense System

Tanks Class 101

In our system, defense helps reduce incoming damage, but it never makes you completely invincible. Instead of blocking a flat amount, defense reduces damage based on how much you have compared to the attack’s strength.

The Formula

When you take damage, this formula is applied:

#damage# * (1 - (#defense# / (#defense# + #damage# * 0.4 + 50)))

Breaking It Down

• The more defense you have, the less damage you take. Defense reduces incoming damage by a percentage instead of a fixed amount. This means high-damage attacks still deal some damage, even against tanks.

• Diminishing Returns – Defense gets less effective at higher values. Early defense upgrades make a big difference. Later on, stacking even more defense still helps, but the effect slows down.

• Even weak attacks will still do some damage. The + 50 in the formula ensures that small attacks aren’t reduced to 0.

Example Scenarios

Example 1 - Medium Defense Vs. Attack

A player with 200 defense is hit by an attack that dealt 500 damage:

Final Damage = 278

Damage is reduced by ~44.4%, but the player still takes a good chunk of damage.

Example 2 – High Defense Vs. Strong Attack

A 1000-defense player is hit by a 1000-damage attack:

Final Damage = 311

Damage is reduced by ~68.9%, but even tanks still take some damage from strong attacks!nuevo

What This Means for You?

• Building defense is great, but you won’t be invincible.

• Stronger attacks will always deal some damage, even against tanks.

• Defense has diminishing returns, so balancing offense and defense is key.

Here's some graphs to visualize this as well.

To sum it up, the higher your defense, the higher the damage reduction.
