'''Defense''' is a statistic that affects how much damage the player takes. It can be affected in a variety of ways.
'''Defense''' [[File:Defense.png|24px]] is a statistic that affects how much damage the player takes. Defense can be increased by food and equipment, or decreased by [[Buffs|debuffs]].
==Cooking==
Each point of total Defense reduces damage taken by 1 point, to a minimum of 1 damage per hit. For example, a [[Slimes|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.
