Defence

Defence is a

Combat

skill. It is one of three skills (along with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hitpoints

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Prayer

) that is used when determining a player or monster's Combat Level, regardless of what combat style they are strongest with. A higher Defence level increases the player's evasion ratings in combat, which lowers a monster's chance to hit. Defence does not affect the damage dealt by a successful attack, which is mostly a factor of Damage Reduction. As it results in fewer hits against the player, however, a higher Defence level can help reduce food usage in combat. Defence has no effect in

.

Most Melee-focused armour requires a certain Defence level to be equipped.

Mechanics

The Defence skill increases the player's melee, ranged, and magic evasion ratings. For details on how Evasion Rating is calculated, refer to the Evasion Rating section on the

Combat

page.

Gaining Defence XP

Defence XP can be earned in combat with any of the three combat styles by selecting the appropriate attack style:

  • While using
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Melee
    , choose the "Block" attack style
  • While using
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ranged
    , choose the "Longrange" attack style
  • While using
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Magic
    , choose the "Defensive" attack style

Defence XP gained is based on damage dealt to an enemy, not damage taken by the player. When using the Block attack style, 0.4 Defence XP is awarded per point of damage done. When using the Longrange or Defensive attack styles, 0.2 Defence XP is awarded per point of damage done, with another 0.2 XP per point of damage going to Ranged or Magic, respectively.

Skill Level Unlocks

Increasing the Defence skill allows the player to equip more powerful Melee-focused armour. The player's accuracy rating when using the

Block

attack style scales with Defence level, as does the player's evasion rating against all attack styles.
