Defense Absolute is a defensive stat that reduces the damage you take from enemy attacks by a fixed amount. Unlike Defense %, which reduces damage proportionally, Defense Absolute subtracts a flat value from the incoming hit. This makes it particularly effective against weaker enemies, as a high enough value can reduce their damage to zero.
Description
Defense Absolute reduces the damage you receive from enemy attacks by a flat amount. This reduction is applied after Defense % has already reduced the incoming damage, making the two stats work together to lower the final hit you take.
Workshop
You can unlock Defense Absolute in the Workshop for 75 coins after purchasing Health and Health Regen with Defense %. Once unlocked, there are 5000 upgrades available to purchase in the workshop.

Card
The Fortress card increases the workshop value of Defense Absolute. This card's effect is multiplied with the lab upgrades, so having both can significantly boost your total damage reduction.
Calculation
Defense Absolute is calculated after Defense % has been applied to the incoming damage. For example, if an enemy deals 100 damage, you have 25% Defense %, and 50 Defense Absolute, the calculation is: 100 * (1 - 0.25) - 50 = 25 damage received. Keep in mind that enemies have a heat-up ability, increasing their damage by x1.04 for each hit they land. This means the damage displayed may not reflect the actual damage they are dealing if you are being hit frequently.
