DEF

This article is about the stat. For the Light Cone, see Defense.

DEF is one of the stats in Honkai: Star Rail, used by both characters and enemies. It is a stat that decreases DMG taken. Some character skills will also deal DMG or create shields based on DEF.

It multiplies incoming DMG by the following:

${\displaystyle \text{DEF Multiplier} = 1 - (\frac{\text{DEF}}{\text{DEF} + 200 + 10 \times \text{Level}_\text{Attacker}})}$

When a unit's DEF becomes 0 due to DEF Reduction/Ignore, the DEF Multiplier will reach the cap of 100%.

Character DEF

Characters' Base DEF is determined by their level and their equipped Light Cone's level, while percentage and additive DEF bonuses can be obtained from Relics, Light Cone abilities, character skills, etc.

${\displaystyle \text{Base DEF} = (\text{DEF}_\text{Character} + \text{DEF}_\text{Light Cone})}$

${\displaystyle \text{Total DEF} = \text{Base DEF} \times (1 + \% \text{DEF Bonus} - \% \text{DEF Reduction}) + \text{Additive DEF Bonus}}$

Enemy DEF

Enemies' Base DEF is determined by their level:

${\displaystyle \text{Base DEF}_\text{Enemy} = 200 + 10 \times \text{Level}}$

Therefore:

The only exceptions to this are Trotters (e.g. Warp Trotter, Sequence Trotter, Trotter of Destruction), where:

${\displaystyle \text{Base DEF}_\text{Trotter} = 300 + 15 \times \text{Level}}$

Enemies' Base DEF will reach the cap at Level 100. Therefore, Level 120 enemies in Anomaly Arbitration have the same Base DEF as Level 100 stat.
