Damage reduction

Damage reduction refers to effects that reduce the damage a demon takes. This is applied at the end of the damage formula.

Mechanics

Damage reduction is applied at the end of the damage formula.

Damage reduction is additive to reverse damage reduction in the damage formula. For more details, see Damage Formula.

• Due to this, damage reduction can be directly counteracted by reverse damage reduction.
  • For example: if your demon has a passive that grants -80% Elec damage taken, and the enemy party has Botis (applies +40% damage taken), then that partially cancels your demon's passive (-80 + 40). This results in a total of -40% damage taken instead.
• Normal damage boosts (such as Elec Amp) cannot counteract damage reduction in any way.

Skills that apply damage reduction are usually phrased as affecting the damage the owner takes/receives, rather than the amount of damage the enemy deals. For effects that lower the damage the enemy deals, see reverse damage boost.
