Damage

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

Damage Reduction

All damaging attacks are classified as either Physical or Magical, but also have a specific type:

Monsters

Mitigation	Description	Increased / Granted By	Reduced / Exploited By
Physical	Against player's melee attacks & skills	AGI, END, Chaos Token upgrade	Penetrated Armor (equipment proc) - 25% per stack (up to 75%) Breached Defense (Stat Effect from Holy spells) - 10% Imperil (deprecating spell) - 25% (up to 50% with Better Imperil) Spreading Poison (Backstab proc) - 10%
Magical	Against player's offensive spells	END, WIS, Chaos Token upgrade	Breached Defense (Stat Effect from Holy spells) - 10% Imperil (deprecating spell) - 25% (up to 50% with Better Imperil)
Specific	Slashing, Piercing, Crushing	Depends on monster class	Depends on weapon type
	Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec, Holy, Dark	Elemental Mitigation	Depends on weapon's damage type, spell's damage type Imperil (deprecating spell) - 25% (Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec) (up to 40% with Better Imperil) up to 25% (Holy, Dark) (only when Dark/Holy Imperil ability is active) Elemental Status Effects - 25% (depends on status effect)
	Void	There is no corresponding specific mitigation type for Void damage.

The Player

Mitigation	Description	Increased / Granted By
Physical	Against monsters' basic attacks & physical skills	Primary Attributes Equipment Equipment suffixes Protection spell - 25% (Up to 30% with Better Protection or 50% with the scroll) Defend - 25% Cloak of the Fallen - 75%
Magical	Against monsters' magical skills
Specific	Slashing, Piercing, Crushing	Equipment Equipment Affixes Heavy Abilities
	Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec, Holy, Dark	Equipment Affixes Charms Infusions - 25% Spike Shield Abilities - Up to 25%
	Void	There is no corresponding specific mitigation type for Void damage.

It is important to note that mitigations are applied in a multiplicative fashion. Physical/Magical mitigations are reduced multiplicatively and specific mitigations are reduced additively. However, they cannot be reduced below 0, or reduced further if the mitigation is already negative.

The system first checks 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		Successful Rolls	Damage Multiplier	Notes
	Physical	Magical
Evade	✔	✔	0	x1	Eligible to be a critical hit
			1	x0.5	Glancing blow
			2	x0	Evaded attack
Block	✔	✔	0	x1
			1	x0.5	Partially blocked
			2	x0	Blocked attack
Parry	✔		0	x1
			1	x0.5	Partially parried
			2	x0	Parried attack
Resist		✔	See below

All avoidance stats are rolled twice with the opponent's accuracy or magic accuracy as a counter-stat, except for Resist which is rolled 3 times. Multiple avoidance stats can reduce the damage done during a single attack, e.g. an attack that glances and is partially blocked will deal x0.5*x0.5=x0.25 damage.

Resist Mechanics

Both offensive spells and deprecating spells can be resisted, where offensive spells will have their damage reduced and deprecating spells will have their duration reduced, possibly not applying the debuff. Every time a player or monster casts a spell, the system will do three separate rolls for resist:

Successful Rolls	Damage Reduction	Effect Duration
0	0%	100%
1	50%	75%
2	75%	50%
3	90%	0%

A player's counter-resist can be gained from staffs (Oak, Willow, and from Penetrator charm), from Channeling, Focus, as well as from proficiency. Counter-resist from proficiency is capped at 50%, calculated as follows:

Proficiency counter-resist = ((effective_prof - monster_level) / monster_level) * 50%

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.

Countering

Custom Monsters have various defenses from their Primary Attributes, which can be bolstered by appropriate the Chaos Upgrade.

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

Avoidance	Counters
Evade	More accuracy (physical or magical) Stun (Equipment Proc) - 100% Sleep and Immobolize (Spell) - 100% Deep Burns (Stat Effect from Elec spells) - 10% Channeling - 100%
Parry	More Physical accuracy Stun (Equipment Proc) - 100% Overpower Charm Overwhelming Strikes (One-handed fighting style) Sleep (Spell)
Resist	More magic accuracy More proficiency Stun (Equipment Proc) - 25% Oak and Willow Staffs (equipment) Penetrator Charm Focus (Universal Skill) Sleep and Immobilize (Spell) - 50% and 25% (Up to 50% with Better Immobilize) Deep Burns (Stat Effect from Elec spells) - 10% Channeling - 100%
