Damage Reduction

Cleanup (Issue: Under construction for over 12 months, is anything more needed here?)

To meet Nukapedia's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. Please help by improving the article.

Overview

Damage Reduction reduces incoming damage by set percentage, stacking multiplicatively with other effects. It modifies the damage after it has been reduced by the relevant Damage Resistance stat.

If a player has Dodgy 3 (-30%) and Lone Wanderer 3 (-20%) equipped, an incoming attack will be reduced by 44%.

DMG_f = DMG_i * 0.70 * 0.80

Notes

• Every modifier except for Acrobat's is multiplicative, meaning a damage reduction value of 100% is not possible.
• Serendipity does not use damage reduction, instead it uses a unique resistance mechanic called Damage evasion.
  • Damage evasion multiplies the incoming damage by 0, completely nullifying damage.
