Usage
Protection reduces the amount of damage the hero takes from any damage source. The amount of percentage damage reduction increases with each tier, at the maximum tier it is -15%.
Stacking
Protection is not stackable, meaning it appears only in a single enchantment slot. This includes the gilded, unique, and regular enchantment slots.
Damage reduction stacking
When combined with other damage reducing effects, Protection's damage reduction depreciates.
- When Protection and the +35% reduction property are combined, the total damage reduction is ~41.65%. Meaning that while using the +35% damage reduction property, Protection's total damage reduction is ~10.2% not 15%
- When Protection and the Iron Hide Amulet are used at the same time, the total damage reduction is to 54%. Meaning that while using the Iron Hide Amulet, Protection's total damage reduction is 8% not 15%.
Mobs
Enchanted mobs with this enchantment take 50% less damage.
