Mitigation
Overview
- Damage Mitigation is a rating-based statistic that governs how much damage your character takes from different damage types.
- There are 2 different types of mitigation: Physical Mitigation, Tactical Mitigation. To determine the relationship between the rating value and the mitigation % see Rating to percentage formula.
Sources of Mitigation
- Physical Mitigation can be attained chiefly through increasing a character's Armour rating, but also through sources such as Might and Vitality.
- Tactical Mitigation is determined by your Armour Value and by stacking Will and Fate.
- Both Tactical and Physical mitigation bonuses can be found on various equipment, essences, consumables, virtues, and relics throughout the game.
