Steady is a character skill in the game For The King.

Description

Chance to completely negate damage from attack when shield is equipped.

Effects

Steady (or Steadfast) is a passive skill that will occasionally cause a character using a shield to completely block all incoming damage during combat.

Damage Reflection will maintain its regular effect on a blocked attack using Steady.

Conditions

A character must be in combat and have a shield equipped to proc Steady. Additionally, being entangled or stunned will prevent the skill from triggering.

Chance to trigger

Provided the conditions are favourable, two random behind-the-scenes rolls are performed to proc Steady on an attack.

The first check is based on a character's evasion stat:

${\textstyle {1-100\leq ({[Evasion]})}}$

Therefore with 15 evasion, the first chance of Steady triggering is 15%.

The second roll is based on the amount of health a character may potentially lose in a single attack*:

${\textstyle {1-100<{\big (}{\dfrac {([CurrentHealth]-[IncomingDamage])}{[CurrentTotalHealth]}}-1{\big )}\times 100}}$

* With a minimum chance of 7% and a maximum chance of 22%.

In practice, the prospect for Steady to trigger increases with the amount of health a character could potentially lose from a single attack.
