So I've looked through the wiki and a couple of different places and the information I'm finding is inconsistent. How do all of the different damage reduction mechanics interact? (Defence, Endurance potion, Frozen turtle shell, paladins shield, beetle endurance, and Worm scarf)
 
It seems that the defense comes first, then the damage reducing effect.
But through the wiki, the armor and other count separately.
So, what I think the most-damage reducing is Bettle Armor with Shell, Frozen Turtle Shell(half health), Worm Scarf, Paladin's Shield, Flesh Knuckles, Celestial Shell(at night) and Ankh Shield(all warding), then under the effect of Ironskin, Endurance,Well Fed and Dryad's Blessing, Finally, in a Mechanical Mincart at full speed(+7 def).
So, you'll have 146 defense, and reduced damage by 110.
If you take 1000 damage, it will be reduced like this(according to wiki):
  • Reduced by defense: 1000-110=890.
  • Reduced by armor set bonus: 890X(1-0.45)=490(round up, not very sure).
  • Reduced by other effects: 490X(1-(0.1+0.17+0.25))=235.
Edit, the Paladin's Shield would additionally absorb 25% damage(if one of you teammate equip one) in Mutiplayer, but not sure how this actually work.

  • The highest possible defense is 145 normally, and 160 in expert mode.
    • Chlorophyte Mask with other Solar Flare Armor - 79 defense
    • Flesh Knuckles - 7 defense
    • Celestial Shell - 7 defense if worn at night
    • Paladin's Shield - 6 defense
    • Any other two accessories that give 4 defense at night - 8 defense
    • Warding modifiers on all accessories - 20 defense
    • Ironskin buff - 8 defense
    • Well fed buff - 2 defense
    • The Dryad's Blessing grants an additional 8 defense.
    • Riding a Mechanical Cart at full speed gives an additional 7 defense (expert mode only).
    • Any sixth accessory that gives 4 defense at night, with a Warding prefix (expert mode only).


  • The highest damage reduction Is 71,4%, as Damage Reduction is additive, but the Beetle Endurance is multiplicative
    • (100%-45%) * (100%-(25%+17%+10%)) = 26.4% damage taken
    • Beetle Armor (with shell) 45%
    • Frozen Turtle Shell 25%
    • Worm Scarf 17%
    • Endurance Potion 10%

So the order of application is Defence > Set bonus > (Worm scarf + Frozen turtle shell + Paladins shield + Endurnce potion)?
