100 Days At Sea Armor and Defense Guide
Chapter 6 - Defense. A defense chapter for armor, raft defense, raid prep, damage-reduction thinking and when new players should care about defense.
Chapter intro
Quick survival answer
Quick answer
Think of defense in two layers: your character needs survivability, and your raft needs safety. A strong weapon does not help if the raft collapses or you enter raids with no recovery plan.
Defense rule
Build defense before the game forces you to need it.
New players usually improve defense after a bad fight. Guidebook play means preparing before the bad fight happens.

Use class starter armor and reported armor names as leads, not final stats.
Build raft defense and character defense together before risky regions.
Before raids, check health, weapon, armor, raft safety and retreat path.

When should beginners care about armor?
Before risky islands, boss leads or raids. Early on, avoiding bad fights matters too.
Is damage reduction known?
Not as final numbers. Test before/after damage or visible stat text first.
Is raft defense different from armor?
Yes. Armor protects the character; raft defense protects your recovery platform.
