Defense Up reduces damage taken from all attacks by up to 20%. Inkline gear has a 5x chance of rolling this ability.

In-Depth Ability

Unlike Damage Up, Defense Up can lower thresholds on certain enemy weapons. For example, the .52 Gal does 52 base damage, which is a two-shot splat on normal Inklings. Defense Up can drop the weapon's damage to below 50, making it a three-shot splat with the .52 Gal. This allows players to take extra hits from certain weapons. However, if an opponent has Damage Up, then the effect is cancelled out, as the damage boost will again bring the weapons' "shots-to-splat" back up to normal.

Use

This can be one of the most valuable abilities, as it essentially allows players to take extra damage for free. This is particularly useful for players new to the game, as it decreases the effectiveness of opponent's weapons. Players with an aggressive play style can also benefit from Defense Up.
