<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Magic_Resistance_Penetration" style="font-size: 1.6em;">MDEF Penetration</span></h3>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    MDEF (Magic Defense) is a significant barrier for Magic classes in Ragnarok Online, as it reduces the damage dealt by magic attacks. For years, Magic classes struggled because MDEF made it difficult to deal high damage to enemies with strong defense. However, recent updates have introduced various gear and abilities that help bypass or reduce MDEF, allowing Magic classes to deal more damage. With the right setup, you can achieve up to 100% MDEF bypass.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    The formula for calculating the final MDEF after accounting for reductions and bypass percentages is as follows:
</p>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    <b>Final MDEF =</b> (Total_Mdef - Sum_MdefReduceValues) × (1 − Sum_MdefBypassPercent ÷ 100)
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    <li><b>Total_Mdef</b> = The total Hard MDEF value displayed in the Status Window.</li>
    <li><b>Sum_MdefReduceValues</b> = The sum of all flat MDEF reductions applied to the enemy, such as the effects of skills like Odin Power.</li>
    <li><b>Sum_MdefBypassPercent</b> = The sum of all percentage-based MDEF bypass effects, such as those from skills like Expiatio or equipment bonuses.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    To better understand this, consider the following example: Suppose a player has the following:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    <li>25% MDEF Bypass from '''{{#skill:2053}}''' (a skill buff).</li>
    <li>20% MDEF Bypass from {{#item:24667}} & {{#item:24665}}.</li>
    <li><p>'''{{#skill:2537}}''' '''Odin power [ Level 2 ] ''', which reduces MDEF by 40.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    The enemy has 100 Hard MDEF. To calculate the final MDEF, we apply the formula:
</p>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    <b>Final MDEF = (100 - 40) × (1 − (25 + 20) ÷ 100)</b>
</p>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    This means the enemy's MDEF will be reduced by the flat 40 MDEF from Odin Power, and then further reduced by 45% due to the MDEF bypass effects. The resulting value will determine how much of the magic damage actually goes through the enemy’s defense.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">
    It may seem a bit complex at first, but the key takeaway is this: MDEF bypass allows a portion of your magic damage to go through without being reduced by the enemy’s defense. The higher the MDEF bypass percentage, the less damage is blocked by MDEF, and the more effective your magic attacks become.
</p>
<pre style="font-size: 1.3em;">At 100% Full MDEF Bypass: All of your magic damage will bypass the enemy’s MDEF, dealing full damage without any reduction.</pre>
<ul style="font-size: 1.3em;"> <li>MDEF Penetration can also be obtained through equipment effects, enchantments, and certain skills.</li> </ul>
