How Effective is DEF?

[Takanomiya Hijiri]

He used Blood Buff (which is an in canon ability of all VtM Vampires that I have not yet purchased on the Omniverse, so unusable in fights as of yet.), and then the scalpel broke against his strengthened body.

Ah, okay then. I noticed the bit about fortitude-enhanced skin, but I must have missed that. I had just assumed that you meant his DEF and Survival.

It gets awkward quickly, when you're expected to pad out a fight wielding 3+ ATK against a 2 or lower DEF, since the verbiage of the stats would indicate that a good, solid hit would be enough to drop someone with meager DEF score. In those cases, you have to give the opponent the benefit of the doubt and utilize their other stats to help them survive.

Yeah, it did occur to me that that might be kinda problematic...

Thanks for the list, by the way, I'll keep that in mind in future. ^_^
