#### What it does

Lets the hero ignore part of the opponent’s defense.

#### Where it works

Battle is every march with a hero (PvE, PvP and oases), resolved at once by the strength of both sides. Duels are blow by blow.

| Mode | Effect |
|---|---|
| Battle | Ignores part of the target’s defense, in proportion to the hero’s share of the march’s attack. |
| GvG duel | Lowers the opponent’s defense before every blow. |
| Colossus | No effect: the Colossus has no defense. |

#### Value per tier

Value of each attribute on the gem. On a 2-attribute gem each one is worth less than alone; it appears from Tier III (from the gem chest, with the Forge at level 8) and only fits a Prismatic socket.

| Tier | 1 attribute | 2 attributes |
|---|---|---|
| Tier I | +0.8% | — |
| Tier II | +1.5% | — |
| Tier III | +3% | +1.2% |
| Tier IV | +5.5% | +2.2% |
| Tier V | +9.5% | +3.8% |
| Tier VI | +16% | +6.4% |

#### Caps

The gem cap applies to the sum of the hero’s active gems; past the start of diminishing returns, each point is worth less. The same attribute from equipment comes on top of that cap and only stops at the battle cap.

- Gem cap: 20%
- Diminishing returns: above 12%, each point is worth 50%
- Battle cap (gems + equipment): 60%
- GvG duel cap: 60%
