Defend ?

I have a question: How is the defense bonus calculated when you press the defend button. The Value is somehow depending on the total defense value of the creature, isn't it?

I've read alot about how the game calculates damage in this forum but somehow didn't see a post on this topic, at least not on the last 12 pages

Anyone who knows?

I made a post about that in a different thread, but it is hard to find coz it was not 100% on topic.

Here is the post:

The formula is quite easy:

(Defense skill of the unit + defense skill of the hero) / 5 = defense bonus when unit takes defense stand.

That's the reason why there is a difference sometimes between upgraded and non-upgraded units:
An Archangel (defense 30) will gain +6, while an angel (defense 20) will gain +4 bonus.
If the hero has defense 60 in that case, the Archangel will gain +18, while the angels will gain +14 defense bonus.

I also took armorer and offense into account, but they didn't influence.
I also tried to use the "wait button" first, and then took defense stand, but also no influence.


And here is the thread it was extracted from:

thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for

I assume the value is rounded up, so if I have 11 def including heroes value, the defend bonus will be 3?

No. It's rounded down IIRC, but no less than +1.

The Angel gets 16, right? 80/5 = 16.

Yes Ecoris, it should be 16 instead of 14.

And it is always rounded down.
Example:
Griffins on grass have defense 9. 20% of 9 would be1.8.
But they gain +1 defense (on a hero with 0 defense) only when they take defense stand.
Just tested again.
