Question about perk Melee Resistance?

[Chauthelittletiger]

So on the ice map we have blacksmith. What if we choose Melee Resistance Perk and also research 3 Melee Resistance in blacksmith. how many Melee Resistance % will we have?

I am also wondering how this works... It must have a diminishing return scale or you could go over 100%.........

My theory is that it is multiplied not added.
Lets say they are 30% resistance (i dont remember thr exact value)each and the enemy deals 100 damage

100 x 0.7 x 0.7 x 0.7 x 0.7 = 24 damage

That's just my guess the dev would need confirm

Yeah, I think that's the only sensilbe way, even if the perk wouldn't exist, 90% damage reductions would be too strong. The 3rd upgrade would bring you from 40% damage down to 10%, basically it would mean the 3rd upgrade is a 75% damage decrease.

It is the same with +damage for the player. +250% from the assassin castle upgrade and +100% is not +350% damage, it is 3.5 * 2.0 = 7.0 So basically 600% increased damage.
Or in other words, glas cannon doubles your damage, no matter how many other damage upgrades you already have, and that is a good thing.
