'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is one of the seven {{Icon|Combat}} skills in Melvor Idle. It is one of three skills (along with {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and {{Skill|Prayer}}) that is always used when determining a player or monster's [[Combat Level]] regardless of what combat style they are strongest with.
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is one of the seven {{Icon|Combat}} skills. It is one of three skills (along with {{Skill|Hitpoints}} and {{Skill|Prayer}}) that is 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]].
A higher Defence level increases the player's evasion ratings in combat, which in turn lowers monsters' chance to hit in combat. 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 {{Skill|Thieving}}.


==Mechanics==
Most Melee-focused armor requires a certain Defence level to be equipped.


The Defence skill increases the player's melee, ranged, and magic evasion rating. For details on how Evasion Rating is calculated, refer to the [[Combat#Evasion Rating|Evasion Rating section]] on the {{Icon|Combat}} page.

==Gaining Defence XP==
The Defence skill increases the player's melee, ranged, and magic evasion ratings. For details on how Evasion Rating is calculated, refer to the [[Combat#Evasion Rating|Evasion Rating section]] on the {{Icon|Combat}} page.


Defence experience can be earned while using any Combat Style by selecting the appropriate Attack Style:
== Gaining Defence XP ==


* While using {{Icon|Melee}}, select the Block Attack Style
Defence XP can be earned in combat with any of the three combat styles by selecting the appropriate attack style:
* While using {{Skill|Ranged}}, select the Longrange Attack Style
* While using {{Skill|Magic}}, 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.
* While using {{Icon|Melee}}, choose the "Block" attack style
* While using {{Skill|Ranged}}, choose the "Longrange" attack style
* While using {{Skill|Magic}}, choose the "Defensive" attack style


The {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}} increases all combat XP gained by 4%.
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.


==Armour Materials ==
== Skill Level Unlocks ==
Each armour material requires a certain Defence level to be equipped. Below is a table detailing which Defence level is required for which armour material.
Increasing the {{PAGENAME}} skill allows the player to equip more powerful [[Melee]]-focused armor. The player's [[Combat#Accuracy Rating|accuracy rating]] when using the {{Skill|Defence|Block|nolink=true}} attack style scales with Defence level, as does the player's [[Combat#Evasion Rating|evasion rating]] against all attack styles.
