− | '''Defense''' is a statistic that affects how much damage the player takes. Each point of Defense reduces damage taken by 1 point. 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. Damage that would otherwise be reduced below 1 is increased to 1: for example, if [[Space Boots]] is equipped, providing 4 Defense, a Green Slime deals 1 damage 66% of the time and 2 damage 33% of the time. Defense can be affected in a variety of ways. | + | '''Defense''' is a statistic that affects how much damage the player takes.
