| Preset | Main Pressure | Typical Defense Focus | Calculator Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotworm Training Knight | Low physical chip | Armor value and shielding | Shows how flat armor shines on small hits. |

In the game Tibia, survival in a hunt depend on the amount of damage you can stop before it reaches your health bar. While many player attempt to change their equipment or movement to different monster spawns, many make mistakes due to a lack of understanding of the math behind damage mitigation. However, with the planning tool, players of the game can input their armor, shielding skill, protection value, and the damage that they expect to take in order to determine if the suggested changes to their equipment will improve their survival in the hunt.
Armor will reduce a flat amount from the physical portion of each hit. Armor is best used in an instance with many small attacks against a player. Shielding will provide another layer of protection against the attacks that a player take, however, this is most effective in instances in which a player is not too crowded with other player or monsters.
How to use the damage calculator to survive hunts
Elemental protection will provide a third line of defense for a player, however, it will only work with the damage that remains after armor and shielding has been applied. Finally, players will use imbuements to recover the health that is lost during a hunt. All of this can be processed through the planning tool so that players understand how each factor will interact with each other within the game.
Players often will ask whether they should increase their armor points, their physical protection, or their imbuements. The answer to this will depend upon the type of monsters that is in the area that the players are hunting. For instance, if the monsters in the area primarily do physical damage, increasing armor and shielding will provide the best return on investment for these players.
In contrast, however, if the monsters do primarily fire or energy damage, increasing armor may provide a more weaker return on the investment versus increasing elemental protection. A player’s vocation can also impact the effectiveness of the protection tools within the game. Knights, for instance, absorb more damage and utilize shielding more frequent, meaning that armor is more important for these players.
Paladins, on the other hand, rely upon distance from the monsters and the uptime of their imbuements. Finally, druids and sorcerers lose more blocking chance in their positioning, meaning that positioning and healing is more important for these classes than armor. Common mistakes include adding armor or physical protection when the maximum hit is the only consideration for survival, or ignoring the elemental portion of damage that are taken during monster hunts.
However, the planning tool will help to players to recognize that these mistakes occur by providing separate values for physical damage and non-physical damage that is taken during hunts. The number of monsters in an area also has an impact upon the value of each layer of protection. For instance, shielding is most effective in the middle range of monster count for an area.
However, as the number of monsters increase, the value of elemental protection or leech becomes more important than shielding. This can be adjusted in the model to account for different models for monster counts and healing per minute during monster hunts. The reference tables provide information about the durability of each class in Tibia and the importance of each protection value according to the elements that are used against those players.
These tables are not a replacement for the damage calculator. However, they do help players to understand the importance of fire resistance versus death protection, for instance. The goal of this tool is to allow players to understand if a certain game upgrade will improve their survival in monster hunts prior to spending their money or time to obtain that upgrade.
Thus, the calculator will provide a clearer picture of each players margin of survival in any given hunt so that they understand the damage that is directed at them.
