How ATK and DEF work?

[Exarch_Alpha]

I still didn´t get past Undyne :/

Since that is the battle that allows the most variation of gear I´ve tried everything and the Tough Glove is easier to use because only landing one attack is needed. Ballet shoes do meh damage if the hits aren´t landed on the mid.

But how the stats work in the actual game? The extra invincibility frames look like a better investment, the damage she does is a ton even with the Tutu.

So what exactly each extra point of ATK/DEF does in the game? Each extra DEF means one less HP point loss? The GameFAQ doesn´t have much info on this.

Enemy attacks

Example:
10

Your defense

Example:

6

10 - 6 = 4


Another example

Enemy attacks:
10

Your defense:
99+

10 - 99 = -89

Since it is an attack it:

-89 -> 1

Thanks, I did it with the torn notebook and the glasses.

Thought as much about DEF, but ATK is less clear. Anyway landing hits in the mid made 1370 damage tops, which is more than enough.

Why would you fight Undyne, if you don't have to?

But I can, which means I have to

As for Sans does it make any difference which defensive gear is used?

I don't think it does. Sans does one damage for every frame you are inside one of his attacks if You didnt' know. so if you are in an attack for 1 second that is 60 hp gone. Since all of his attacks are 1 armor should be irrelevant.

So essentially all about dodging? Got it. Thought having extra invincibility would make a difference.

Will try it when I´m not tired!

Sans's attacks DO NOT trigger invincibility frames
