How does Defense work in Terraria?
In Terraria, your defense reduces incoming damage by half the defense value. So, if you've got 20 defense, damage from enemies gets cut down by 10 points. Stack up on armor and accessories to boost that defense number and make those bosses cry!

It's simple: each point of defense cuts damage taken by half a point. Maximize your gear to beef up your defense stats. Less damage, more win!
All about stacking those defense points! More armor = less pain.
Defense, schmefense, just dodge! But seriously, high defense makes a huge difference, especially against hard-hitting enemies.
