Defense Defense.png is a statistic that affects how much damage the player takes. Defense can be increased by food and equipment, or decreased by debuffs.

Each point of total Defense reduces damage taken by 1 point, to a minimum of 1 damage per hit. For example, a Green Slime normally deals between 4 and 6 damage. If Sneakers are equipped, providing 1 Defense, it deals between 3 and 5 damage instead. On the other hand, if Space Boots are equipped, providing 4 Defense, a Green Slime deals 1 damage 66% of the time and 2 damage 33% of the time. Negative Defense increases damage taken. For example, the Shadow Shaman Jinxed effect causes damage from each hit to be increased by 8.

Food

The following foods temporarily increase Defense.
