Combat Stats Explained

The detailed stats panel lists many combat numbers without saying what they do. Here is the plain-language meaning of each — see the Build tab to find your current value, and the Run tab to see what is actually landing.

Offense

• Crit Chance — odds a hit deals bonus damage; Crit Damage is the multiplier when it does.
• Pierce Chance — the bullet passes through an enemy and keeps going to the next.
• Armor Penetration — ignores that % of the target’s armor, restoring damage armor would block.
• Boss Damage Bonus — extra damage dealt only to bosses.
• Lifesteal — heals you for a % of the damage you deal.

Damage over time

• Bleed (Workshop) — each level adds 2 percentage points of proc chance (15 levels = 30%; equipment and Sanctum add to the same stat, capped at 100%). It rolls on every landed melee hit and on landed non-cascade ranged critical hits. A proc deals 20% of the triggering hit’s damage per second for 3 seconds: 60% extra damage if the full bleed runs. Bleed ticks bypass armor; in Worlds 7+ they count as Power damage and can be reduced by the matching Ward. Bleeds do not stack — reapplying keeps the stronger DPS and refreshes the duration.
• Poison on Hit — a damage-over-time that bypasses armor entirely.
• AoE on Kill — a kill detonates for a % of the slain enemy’s max HP to nearby foes.

Defense

• Damage Reduction — flat % of incoming damage removed (capped).
• Armor — subtracts a flat amount from each hit, after the percentage reduction.
• Attack Evasion — chance to dodge a melee/contact hit entirely.
• Stun Dodge — chance to ignore a stun; Stun Reduction shortens the ones that land.
• Drain Resist / Poison Resist — the ONLY mitigation against those effects, which bypass your shield.
• HP Regen — passive health recovery per second.

Shield

• Shield — a buffer that soaks hits before your HP; breaks when depleted.
• Shield Regen — refills the shield gradually while it is up.
• Shield Respawn — rebuilds the shield after it has broken.
• Shield Reflect — returns a % of absorbed damage to the attacker.
