In Last Epoch, Block Chance and Effectiveness are two crucial defensive mechanics that work together to reduce incoming damage:

Block Chance:

  • Represents the probability of successfully blocking an incoming attack with your shield.
  • Ranges from 0% (no chance) to 100% (guaranteed block).
  • Sources of Block Chance include:
    • Shield base values
    • Affixes on shields, armor, and jewelry
    • Passive skills from certain classes
    • Idols and World Boons

Block Effectiveness:

  • Determines how much damage is reduced when an attack is successfully blocked.
  • Ranges from 0% (no reduction) to 100% (full damage negation).
  • Sources of Block Effectiveness include:
    • Shield base values
    • Affixes on shields, armor, and jewelry
    • Passive skills from certain classes
    • Idols and World Boons

How they work together:

  1. When an attack hits, the game rolls a random number between 0 and 100.
  2. If the number is less than or equal to your Block Chance, the attack is blocked.
  3. If the attack is blocked, your Block Effectiveness is applied to reduce the damage you take.

Important points to remember:

  • Block Effectiveness works multiplicatively with other damage reduction sources like Armor and Dodge.
  • There are diminishing returns on Block Chance, meaning investing heavily in it might not necessarily be the most efficient way to increase your survivability.
  • Some skills and passives can interact with Block Chance and Effectiveness in unique ways, so be sure to read their descriptions carefully.
