See also: Defense and Resistance

DMG Reduction is an attribute that reduces the DMG Bonus of incoming attacks. DMG Reduction can be provided by certain talents and constellations.

Multiple DMG Reduction abilities stack additively. If DMG Reduction exceeds $1 + \text{DMG Bonus of Incoming Attack}\%$, incoming damage will be completely nullified, but Poise Damage and stagger effects will still apply.

It is also possible for enemies to obtain negative DMG Reduction via the Thunder Dwelling debuff or certain character abilities, in which case DMG Bonus will be added to incoming attacks.
