Game Mechanics

If an attack passes the chance to hit stage, then it goes through a secondary defense check. These defenses add another check for the attack to miss the target or otherwise have its effects be mitigated. There are four types of secondary defenses, Dodge, Block, Counterattack and Defense Acuity. All characters possess secondary defense at creation. However at its base value players have less than a 0.1% chance to activate them (less than 1 in 1000 hits will be dodged or blocked or counter attacked) Modifiers to these secondary defenses are found in the elite profession branches. These modifiers for the defenses are associated with most elite professions and only activate their effects if the target is equipping a weapon that belongs to that profession.

• I. Each type of secondary defense depends on Weapon Held

• • a. Dodge: - Pistols and Fencer Weapons
  • b. Block: - Rifles and Pikeman Weapons
  • c. Counterattack: - Carbines and Swordsmen Weapons

• II. Dodge stacks with dodge modifiers, block stacks with block modifiers, and counterattack stacks with counterattack modifiers

• III. Secondary Defenses are capped at 125 skill modifier. They can only be enhanced to exceed this cap by the squad leader Rally ability, skill attachments or food bonuses.
