🛡️ Armor

1. Defense​

  • Description: Provides damage mitigation by reducing a percentage of incoming damage per hit.
  • Details:
    • Scales with the quality and tier of the armor.
    • As enemies grow stronger and employ one-shot mechanics, relying solely on defense becomes less viable, requiring players to integrate other mechanics such as dodge, parry, and shield blocking.

2. Dodge​

  • Description: Grants a chance to completely evade incoming attacks.
  • Details:
    • Effective against high-damage, single-target strikes.
    • Dodge chance increases with certain armor sets or enhancements.

3. Parry​

  • Description: Allows the player to deflect part of the damage or negate it entirely by timing an attack or defensive move.
  • Details:
    • Requires skill and precision to maximize effectiveness.
    • Works synergistically with other defensive mechanics, such as shield blocking.

4. Shield Blocking​

  • Description: Utilizes shield mechanics in conjunction with armor for enhanced protection.
  • Details:
    • Mitigates additional damage when used with proper timing.
    • Complements high-defense armor sets for tank-style builds.

5. Custom Durability​

  • Description: Determines how long the armor can last before requiring repair or replacement.
  • Details:
    • Durability varies by armor tier, with higher-tier armor offering greater durability.
    • Custom durability ensures that powerful armor pieces last longer but still require maintenance.

6. Rune Sockets​

  • Description: Special slots for runes that enhance armor with additional effects.
  • Details:
    • Runes can grant bonus stats, elemental resistances, or unique passive abilities.
    • The number of sockets varies by armor piece and tier.

7. Custom Abilities​

  • Description: Unique active or passive abilities tied to specific armor pieces.
  • Details:
    • Examples include self-healing effects, damage absorption shields, or temporary stat boosts.
    • These abilities can turn the tide in challenging encounters and add strategic depth to gear choices.
