Defense Rate

Defense Rate is a defensive stat that determines your chance to block incoming enemy attacks. It is counteracted directly by enemy Attack Rate and works after the initial evade check. Final block chance is capped between 0% and 95%.

Sources

• Base Stats: each class has base Defense Rate, and attributes can add more through class stat scaling
• Equipment: armor, boots, gloves, helmets, suits, epaulets, vehicles, costumes, and upgrade paths can provide Defense Rate
• Progression Systems: Essence Rune, Karma Rune, Collection, Achievements, Artifacts, Honor Medal, Overlord Mastery, Gold Merit, Platinum Merit, Myth Level, and Pets can provide Defense Rate
• Class and Battle Systems: Battle Modes, general passive skills, and class passive skills can add Defense Rate
• Temporary Buffs: GM buffs, potions, and other temporary defensive effects can add Defense Rate

Usage Notes

• Higher defense rate increases your chance to block incoming attacks
• Block check is performed after the evasion check
• Particularly valuable for defensive builds and PvP encounters
• Defense rate effectiveness depends on enemy attack rate

Helpful Tool

If you want to estimate the actual result for player attacks against a target, use the Hit Chance Calculator. It does not currently support monsters hitting players, because some monster attacks use separate attack-specific rate values.
