Armor & Defense

Defense represents your hero’s ability to dodge or block damage when you use the Defend reaction. While unarmored or wearing regular clothes, your Defense is equal to your DEX. Some items may grant additional Defense while equipped.

Defend Yourself! If you’re standing right next to a baddie with an axe and you’re not doing anything to defend yourself, chances are, you’re going to get axed!
