Deduct Protection

Deduct Protection protects a fixed number of incoming damage hits. The first protected hit has 100% damage reduction, but still deals at least 1 damage. After that, each protected hit consumes one count and the protection weakens by 2 percentage points per consumed count.

Normal misses, evades, and blocks do not consume Deduct Protection. Only hits that would deal damage consume a count.

Notes and Tips

• Hit Count Shield: the value is the number of protected hits, not a percentage.
• Strong Opening Hits: the first protected hits reduce damage the most, while later protected hits are weaker.
• Final Count: the last protected hit is forced to 1 damage, then Deduct Protection ends.
