Basic Information

Physical DEF
  • Ability to defend against attacks made with bare flesh or against foes with corporeal existence. As you level up, your physical defense will also increase. This is tied to your Level. It doesn't matter which stat you increase; your physical defense will also go up. No matter which stats you choose to focus on, your character will become stronger and more resistant to enemy physical attacks. In other words, leveling up makes the game easier.
  • Getting more technical Physical DEF stat reduces all contact damage to you by a percentage (e.g. 234 Physical DEF is 23.4% reduction), in other words projectiles, bullets etc. don't get reduced damage. Even when for example invading adversary player has 100% fire converted damage, it would still get reduced by this stat, even though it is not physical damage.
