Defense, abbreviated as DEF, is a statistic featured in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It serves as a mean of cutting back damage dealt to the player. This stat can be increased by means of equipping diverse armor pieces, accessories, casting certain spells, and by leveling up through accruing Experience (EXP). There are some armor pieces that provide resistance to specific attack attributes.

Description[]

The Defense (DEF) statistic is a numerical representation of the player character's current defenses against physical attacks, which is directly affected by the Constitution (CON) stat, as well as the player character's currently equipped armor pieces, allowing them to further withstand and survive attacks by enemies. At some points, however, even if the CON stat is receiving a bonus (e.g.: by equipping a piece of gear that slightly boosts CON), the DEF stat may remain at its same base value. Nonetheless, the DEF stat will usually receive the respective bonus after the player has leveled up. On the other hand, equipping a piece of gear that greatly boosts CON will generally also notably increase the DEF stat.

As with all stats, the DEF stat will increase each time the player levels up (generally by 1 point). Additionally, as mentioned, the player can artificially further increase this stat by equipping gear or by using shards that boost CON.
