Defense, abbreviated in-game to DEF, is a stat that is generally used to calculate how much damage an Agent or Enemy will take.

Agent Stat Calculation

Main article: Stats § Agent Stat Calculation

Most stats (ATK, HP, DEF, Impact, Anomaly Proficiency, Anomaly Mastery, Energy Regen) start with a base value, and can be further increased by bonuses. Base value is gained naturally when Agents and W-Engines are leveled, as well as from leveling up Core Passives.

Stat bonuses are divided into two categories: unconditional bonuses (e.g. stats from Drive Discs, secondary stats of W-Engines) and conditional bonuses (e.g. buffs provided by Agent skills, set bonuses of Drive Discs, buffs from eating at the Noodle Shop). When a character enters combat, all unconditional bonuses are first applied and stats are frozen. When additional in-combat bonuses are gained, they use the frozen stats as base.

In general, agent stats are calculated as follows:

${\begin{aligned}{\text{Final Stat}}={}&({\text{Base Value}}\times (1+{\text{Percentage Bonuses}}_{\text{Unconditional}}\%)+{\text{Additive Bonuses}}_{\text{Unconditional}})\\&\times (1+{\text{Percentage Bonuses}}_{\text{Conditional}}\%)+{\text{Additive Bonuses}}_{\text{Conditional}}\end{aligned}}$

For the remaining stats (CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, PEN, Pen Ratio, DMG Bonus), all bonuses are additive.

	Spectral Gaze		Stun	Electric	Trigger Trigger	Base ATK: 48-713	CRIT Rate: 9.6%-24%	Wind Seeker When the equipper hits an enemy with Aftershock, causing Electric DMG, the target's DEF is reduced by 25~40% for 5s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. When this effect is triggered, if the equipper is not the active character, they gain 1 stack of Spirit Lock, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. This can trigger only once per use of a skill. Each stack of Spirit Lock increases the equipper's Impact by 4~6.4%, lasting 12s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. At full stacks of Spirit Lock, the equipper's Impact increases by an additional 8~12.8%.	1.6
