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 |
|
| Magical | Against player's offensive spells | END, WIS, Chaos Token upgrade |
|
| Specific | Slashing, Piercing, Crushing | Depends on monster class | Depends on weapon type |
| Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec, Holy, Dark | Elemental Mitigation |
| |
| 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 |
|
| Magical | Against monsters' magical skills | |
| Specific | Slashing, Piercing, Crushing |
|
| Fire, Cold, Wind, Elec, Holy, Dark | ||
| 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 |
|
| Parry |
|
| Resist |
