Greetings gamers! Defense can be a confusing thing to figure out in Galaxy of Heroes. There’s a base number that converts to a percentage, mods that add separate quantities of percentage and base defense (also known as flat defense), and a scaling system of diminishing returns where you get less defensive gains the higher your defense is. It’s troublesome to say the least.

That’s why I’ve put together a calculator for any defensive needs! Simply put in the numbers you know and the calculator will do the rest. Special thanks to whomever it was that originally discovered the formulas. I found them on Reddit, but could not locate the origin.

The calculator is also useful for determining the effect of armor penetration. For instance, 200 armor is a little over 23%. A character with 200 armor penetration will hit for full damage against any toon with 23% armor or less. Pretty impressive, huh?
