Damage

This page is dedicated to explaining the mechanics of the ways players and monsters in the HentaiVerse reduce or avoid damage.

Damage Reduction

There are several factors that go into reducing damage for either the players or the monsters:

Mitigation	Description
Physical	Against player's melee attacks & skills, monster's normal attacks and physical skills Reduced by 33% per stack (up to 100%) by Penetrated Armor (equipment proc) Reduced by 10% by Breached Defense (Stat Effect from Holy spells) Reduced by 25% by Imperil (deprecating spell)
Magical	Against player's magical attacks, monster's magical skills Reduced by 10% by Breached Defense (Stat Effect from Holy spells) Reduced by 25% by Imperil (deprecating spell)
Specific	Slashing, Piercing, Crushing Depends on weapon type or monster classes Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec, Holy, Dark, Soul Depends on weapon's damage type, spell's damage type, monster's skills and monster classes (Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec only) Reduced by 25% by Imperil (deprecating spell) Reduced by 25% by Infusions (Item) Void Players and monsters have 0% specific mitigation against void attacks. Most monsters don't have void attacks/skills Void has no effect on physical mitigation

It is important to note that mitigations are applied in a multiplicative fashion.

The system first check if the attack is physical or magical and applies the physical/magical mitigation. Then it checks if there is any specific damage type involved and applies the specific mitigation.

This works out to:

Damage Taken = Original_Damage_Roll * (1 - Physical or Magical Mitigation) * (1 - Specific Mitigation)

Damage Avoidance

There are several factors that go into avoiding attacks for either the players or the monsters:

Avoidance	Against
	Physical	Magical
Evade	✔	✔
Block	✔	✔
Parry	✔
Resist		✔

It is important to note that these stats are calculated in a multiplicative fashion rather than additively.

Anti-Avoidance

Custom Monsters can be upgraded to decrease player's effective evade/block/parry/resist chance. These stats are called anti-evade, anti-block, anti-parry and anti-resist.

• For example, A target with 20% evade will have effective 15% evade against an attacker with 25% anti-evade.

For physical attacks, this works out to:

Chance to avoid physical attack = 1 - ((1 - Evasion * (1 - Anti-evade)) * (1 - Block * (1 - Anti-block)) * ((1 - Parry * (1 - Anti-Parry)))

For magical attacks, this works out to:

Chance to avoid magical attack = 1 - ((1 - Evasion * (1 - Anti-evade)) * (1 - Block * (1 - Anti-block)) * ((1 - Resist * (1 - Anti-Resist)))

Note: Monsters have an additional chance to miss player that is not taken into account. Shadow Veil adds to this for physical attacks.

Countering

Custom Monsters can have various defenses if given the appropriate Chaos Upgrades.

The means to counter these when fighting them are as follows:

Avoidance	Counters
Evade	More accuracy (physical or magical), Poison, Sleep and Magnet (Spell), Stun (Equipment Proc), Deep Burns (Stat Effect from Elec spells),
Parry	Overwhelming Strikes (One-handed fighting style), Sleep (Spell)
Resist	Focus (Universal Skill), MagNet and Sleep (Spell), Specific types via various Status Effects from spells, oak and willow Staffs (equipment)
