Defense

Defense

Defense is a skill included in the Combat section of Milky Way Idle. It increases your defense against enemies, and thus will help you last longer in battle. It, alongside Stamina and Intelligence, are in a class of skills that are shared with the Melee class (Attack, Power), the Ranged class, and the Magic class.

Defense is used in the calculation of your Combat level (which is less of a "tangible skill", more so the collection of Stamina, Intelligence, Defense, and your main class). The calculation to figure out your combat level is:

Combat Level = 0.2 * (Stamina + Intelligence + Defense) + 0.4 * MAX(0.5 * (Attack + Power), Ranged, Magic), where MAX is the maximum function (the highest number in the range).
