 In special conditions, such as for the Ice Pick weapon and [[Occult Impaction]] skill, the DEF formula is reversed.
-In this special case of reversed DEF, the damage multiplier is found by (Hard DEF + Soft DEF)/100. For example, against a 5+15 DEF target, a normal 200 ATK weapon would only deal 175 damage; an Ice Pick, also 200 ATK, would do 40 damage. Conversely, against a 50+90 DEF target, the weapons would do 10 and 280 damage each.

-With skills like Occult Impaction and weapons like the Ice Pick, the role of DEF is reversed. In this special case of reversed DEF the damage multiplier is found by (Hard DEF + Soft DEF)/100. Let us compare 2 attackers upon a target with 5+15 DEF. The first attacker is using a Damascus and has 200 ATK, while the second is using an Ice Pick and has 200 ATK. The first attacker would deal 175 damage and the second attacker would deal 40 damage. However, now let us compare against a target with 50+90 DEF. The first attacker's damage would be reduced to only 10 and the second attacker's damage would be 280. So here you can see that against low DEF targets, DEF reversal in fact reduces damage more than normal but against high DEF targets deals far greater damage than standard attacks.

+DEF (''def''ense) protects against physical attacks. Physical attacks are generally attacks based wholly or partially on [[ATK]]. However, there are exceptions.
 The descriptions used here refer to hard and soft DEF. These names are used for clarity. The vast majority of players do not use these terms in general conversation, and instead refer Armor Def (hard) and Vit Def (soft). Hard DEF works as a percentage reduction. Soft DEF is a subtractive reduction.
