Damage

Damage is dealt to you by revealing monsters by Mistake, and a few other effects.

Formula

1. Roll
2. Empower/Weaken/Reduce
3. Deflect
4. Armor
5. Defense
6. Lives

Roll

First the monster rolls between the minimum and maximum stage power to get an initial attack value. Some items manipulate rolls.

Empower/Weaken/Reduce

Can reduce damage to zero.

•  Bagman
•  Witch
•  False Lamb
•  Arcane Barrier
•  Reflector Blade

Deflect

Can reduce damage to zero. The same as reducing effects but something is expended in the process.

• Minions
• Curse

Armor

Can reduce damage to zero. At this step Armor takes all the damage it can until it all breaks. Armor works left to right: Head, Body, then Leg.

Defense

The Defense stat now reduces the damage, but defense cannot reduce damage lower than 1 (unless you have  Thicker Skin).

Lives

Finally the remaining damage reduces your Lives. If you have 0 you die.

Trivia

• Life loss is not the same as damage. If something says you lose life, effects that prevent damage or trigger on damage will do nothing.
