I have 100 defense. My PM'd front line (Belial,Salamander,Santa,Nova,Nightmare) requires 49 DEF PWR and provides 33740 defense. I have 3 PM Salamanders, 1 PM Nightmare, and 1 PM Belial in my backline (52 pwr) which have a total of 36,610 DEF, but only contribute about 29288 because only 80% of it is used. So before any skill boost or racial affinity boost is considered, i should have around 60k+ in actual defense. But I consistently lose to people who hit me for as low as 30k damage. I even check the skills my opponents use and generally they aren't anything that reduce fire defense or all defense. Am I doing something wrong or am i misunderstanding how the system actually works?
