| ==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.

| |
| While ''Defence'' is acceptable spelling, it's always spelled ''Defense'' in Heroes. (It is, however, spelled ''Defence'' in [[Heroes Chronicles]].)
