Offense Level & Defense Level

Limbus Company has multiple status effects that interact with the mechanics of Offense Level and Defense Level. These effects are Offense Level Up Offense Level UpOffense Level +X for this turn.,Defense Level Up Defense Level UpDefense Level +X for this turn.,Offense Level Down Offense Level DownOffense Level -X for this turn., and Defense Level Down Defense Level DownDefense Level -X for this turn.. These effects change the Offense or Defense level for the turn. Higher Offense Levels increase damage dealt and increase Clash Power, while higher Defense Levels decrease damage taken.

Offense Levels and Defense Levels: The Basics

Offense and Defense Levels are stats every unit possesses that scale with their Level. Every Level gained increases Offense and Defense Level by 1. Skills and E.G.O can also have a modifier that ranges from +5 to -8, further changing the Offense or Defense level.

Generally speaking, high damage, low HP characters have higher Offense Level and lower Defense Level modifiers, while high HP, lower damage characters have higher Defense Level and lower Offense Level modifiers. It is common for Defensive Skills to have a higher Defense Level than the Defense Level of the Identity, providing a decrease in damage taken when an Identity defends, even if they take damage.

Offense and Defense Levels affect combat in two ways:

1. In a Clash between two Skills, the Skill with higher Offense/Defense Level gains additional Clash Power. However, in a Clash between an Attack and non-Clashable Defense Skill, only the Defense Skill can gain power and gains Final Power instead of Clash Power. The Skill with higher Level gains 1 Power per 3 Level difference, rounded down (ex. 5 Levels higher = +1 Clash Power).
2. When dealing damage with Attack Skills, the difference between the attacker's Offense Level and the opponent's Defense Level modifies the damage dealt, following this formula:

$DamageModifier(\mathrm{\%})=\frac{Off-Def}{|Off-Def|+25}\times 100$

Where $Off$ is the Attack Skill's Offense Level and $Def$ is the defender's Defense Level. (If the defender is using a Defense Skill, use that Skill's Defense Level. Otherwise, use their body's—or in Focused Encounters, the targeted Part's—Defense Level.)

Ballpark Damage Changes (in %)

The following is a short list of pre-calculated Offense vs. Defense Level differences, rounded to the nearest percent. The formula follows a diminishing return format, with higher values yielding smaller damage bonuses.

Level difference	Damage modifier
1	±3%
3	±10%
6	±19%
9	±26%
20	±44%
30	±55%
40	±62%
100	±80%

Strengths & Weaknesses

Effects that boost ally levels (Offense Level Up Offense Level UpOffense Level +X for this turn. and Defense Level Up Defense Level UpDefense Level +X for this turn.) or debuff enemy levels (Offense Level Down Offense Level DownOffense Level -X for this turn., and Defense Level Down Defense Level DownDefense Level -X for this turn.) are very powerful, especially in Mirror Dungeons. Effectively, each gain of Offense Level or Defense Level is equivalent to the gain of 1 Level, boosting the power of your Identities and making battles easier. Many of the most powerful Identities in the game have passives or status effects that provide Offense Level Up Offense Level UpOffense Level +X for this turn., increasing their damage and Clash Power. Several Identities that act as tanks can apply high values of Defense Level Up Defense Level UpDefense Level +X for this turn. to themselves or allies, greatly decreasing the damage they take. Offense and Defense Level buffs are most effective when your Identities are close in level to the enemies they are fighting.

Inflicting Offense Level Down Offense Level DownOffense Level -X for this turn. on enemies decreases their damage and clash power, which can make fights significantly easier. Inflicting Defense Level Down Defense Level DownDefense Level -X for this turn. increases the amount of damage an enemy takes, letting battles end faster and decreasing enemy defensive abilities.

Both Offense and Defense Levels can be buffed or debuffed extremely aggressively in Mirror Dungeon, especially with higher rarity E.G.O Gifts or due to Mounting Trials. Using these effects to buff your Identities and debuff Enemies is almost required to progress in later floors in Mirror Dungeon Infinity.

Trivia

• Prior to the July 20th, 2023 update, multiple aspects of Offense/Defense Levels were vastly different:
  • The Offense/Defense Level modifiers found on Skills were originally two decimal values (such as 0.85).
  • An Offense Level difference of 5 (rather than the current 3) was required to change Clash Power by 1.
  • Offense/Defense Level gain/loss (such as Defense Level Down Defense Level DownDefense Level -X for this turn.) originally modified the value by (Amount*10)% of the original value.
