Evasion

A Hit is an instantaneous damage event. Any damage that is not damage over time is Hit damage, whether it comes from an Attack, a Spell, Thorns, or another effect.

Runic Ward protects the final point of Life. When damage would reduce Life to 0, Life stops at 1 and current Runic Ward absorbs the remainder. The character still dies if the remaining damage is greater than the Ward available.

Armour reduces applicable damage from Hits. By default it applies only to Physical Hit damage, and its reduction depends on the raw damage of each Hit rather than providing one fixed percentage.

Block prevents the damage of a blockable Hit. Passive Block rolls the character's Block chance for each eligible Hit, while active Block from a raised shield guarantees a block from the protected direction under that skill's rules.

Heavy Stun is the longer disable caused when an enemy's Heavy Stun buildup bar fills. Eligible Hits add buildup based on their damage, and the bar begins to empty after buildup has not been applied for a period.

Critical Hits deal +100% extra damage (i.e. twice as much damage) by default. Critical Damage Bonuses can further modify this value.

Dexterity is a primary Attribute used for equipment and gem requirements, especially Evasion and range-aligned equipment. Each point of Dexterity inherently grants 8 Accuracy Rating.

Accuracy Rating determines whether an Attack Hits by being compared with the target's Evasion. Player Attacks also lose Accuracy with distance, while Spells do not use Accuracy.

Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence are the three primary Attributes. They provide inherent bonuses and are used to meet Equipment, Skill Gem, and Support Gem requirements.

Staged Skills gain discrete stages and use the current stage count to change an effect. The way stages are gained, their maximum, what each stage improves, and when they are spent or removed are defined by the individual Skill.

Deflection Rating gives a chance to Deflect damage from Hits. A normal Deflection prevents 40% of the Hit damage, while the chance depends on your Deflection Rating and the attacker's Accuracy Rating.

Maim is a debuff that slows movement speed by 30% and reduces Evasion Rating by 15%. It normally lasts 4 seconds.

Pin is a buildup-based control mechanic. When Pin buildup reaches the target's threshold, the target is Pinned for 3 seconds.

A target is Immobilised when it cannot move between locations. Pin, Freeze, Heavy Stun, and Electrocution are common ways to cause this state.

Blind is a debuff that gives the affected target 20% less Accuracy Rating and 20% less Evasion Rating for 4 seconds unless another duration is specified.

Parry is the active Block skill granted by Bucklers. Hold it while facing an enemy to block an eligible Hit, retaliate with a Physical sweep, and apply the Parried debuff.

Iron Reflexes converts all Evasion Rating into Armour. The converted base value scales as Armour rather than Evasion, trading ordinary Evasion Rating avoidance for Armour's hit-size-dependent damage reduction.

A Smoke Cloud is a 2 metre area that Blinds enemies standing inside it unless the source specifies another radius. It does not deal damage or make its creator invisible.

An Unlucky value is rolled twice and the worse result is used. The modifier affects only the named roll, such as enemy Hit damage, Physical Hit damage, Lightning Hit damage, Critical Hit chance, or Evasion chance.

Runefather's Boast is a stacking Buff granted by Eyes of the Runefather when you kill an enemy affected by Runefather's Challenge. Each stack grants +1 Armour, +1 Evasion Rating, and +1 Stun Threshold.

Shrines are Precursor Artifacts surrounded by worshipping monsters. Defeat every Shrine Worshipper, click the Shrine, and its effect becomes your buff for a base duration of 45 seconds.

Mage's Legacies are fourteen possible bonuses rolled in Mageblood's four Legacy slots. Each distinct Legacy grants one always-active bonus while the belt is equipped. Repeated names do not stack directly; instead, every duplicate increases the effect of all distinct Mage's Legacies on that belt.

Item Armour is the Armour value printed on an individual item after that item's Quality and local Armour modifiers are applied. It is a value that other effects can read. It is not the character's total Armour and does not itself describe how much Physical damage a Hit will lose.

Equipped means a usable weapon, off-hand, armour piece, belt, amulet, or ring placed in the character's equipment slots. Flasks, Charms, Skill Gems, and Jewels are not Equipped, even when they occupy another character interface slot.
