skills in Melvor Idle. It is one of three skills (along with

) that is always used when determining a player or monster's Combat Level regardless of what combat style they are strongest with.

Training Defence increases the player's evasion ratings, which in turn lowers monsters' chance to hit when in combat. However, a higher player Defence level does not reduce the maximum damage dealt by a successful monster attack, instead see: Damage Reduction.

Mechanics

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

    , select the Defensive Attack Style

XP gained is based on damage dealt. When using the Block Attack Style, 0.4 Defence XP will be received per point of damage done. When using the Longrange or Defensive Attack Styles, 0.2 Defence XP will be received per point of damage done, with another 0.2 XP going to Ranged or Magic respectively.

The   Gold Emerald Ring increases all combat XP gained by 7%.
