==Explanation== | |||
The '''Defense skill''' is a characteristic of a [[creature]]. When a hero leads his troops into battle, that hero's '''Defense''' [[Primary Skills|Primary Skill]] is added to the Defense skill of every [[creature]] under his command. | |||
In [[combat]], a [[damage]] bonus is added/subtracted to every attack depending on the difference between the attacker's [[Attack]] and the defender's Defense. If the attacker's Attack is higher, then damage is increased by 5% per point of difference (up to a maximum of '''400%''', meaning the greatest difference that matters is '''80'''). If the Attack skill is lower, then damage is reduced by 2% per point of difference (to a minimum of '''30%''', making the greatest difference that matters '''15'''). The resulting number is the amount of inflicted damage. | |||
==Example== | |||
''No heroes are assumed to be present in the battle.'' | |||
*'''2''' [[Naga]]s attack a stack of [[Pikeman|Pikemen]]. | |||
*The Nagas have a basic damage value of '''20''' and their Attack skill is '''16'''. | |||
*A Pikeman has '''10''' [[health]] and their Defense skill is '''5'''. | |||
*Basic damage done by the stack of Nagas is '''2 * 20 = 40'''. | |||
*The Pikemen's Defense skill ('''5''') is subtracted from the Nagas' Attack skill ('''16'''), which gives us '''11'''. | |||
*Thus, the damage is increased by '''5% * 11 = 55%'''. | |||
*The total damage is '''40 * 1.55 = 62'''. | |||
*'''6''' Pikemen will be killed, and the top Pikeman of the remaining stack will have '''8''' health left. | |||

==Note for non-English speakers== | |||
While ''Defence'' is acceptable spelling, it's always spelled ''Defense'' in Heroes. (It is, however, spelled ''Defence'' in [[Heroes Chronicles]].) | |||
