Defense is more effective on higher difficulties, but monsters also have vastly increased attack, so you still end up taking more damage from them overall.

[@hogndog2339]

Not to mention this goes the other way. Enemies will also take less damage with high defense, coupled with them dealing 2-3x more damage

[@themanoffate]

Yeah the devs just added the more effective defense because dying to one hit is kinda lame

[@tradelink8790]

The reason why you take less fall damage in expert and master mode is because defense has a higher usage percent, from 50 to 75 to 100. Fall damage does not gain an increase in damage because it is not classified as an enemy, though it's the most deadly force in the game.

7:16 actually the terraria has a system, in which according to the difficulty your defense increases, for example, if you have 32 defense in classic, you actually have 16. In the master the defense does not change, that is, 32 defense are 32 defense. That's why the fall damage will be lower according to the difficulty.

The formula is different in master/expert mode. I’m not sure about expert (I believe it’s .75 less damage per 1 defense) but in Master mode every point of defense takes away one point of damage. This applies to enemies as well, which is why things like the shark tooth necklace are so potent in the higher difficulties.

3:55 - They're basically cosplayer armor, so they don't provide any actual protection lol

[@baronprocrastination1722]

Even plastic cosplay can provide some form of defence, and just cloth can protect you from cuts to an extent. That being said, they _are_ vanity armour, so I get why they didn't give them armor values, but it sometimes feels ridiculously inconsistent. The moment you get the raincoat set ingame, you already have something better, so why bother giving it a defense stat? Terraria has lots of things like that, that is to say there's plenty of frustratingly inconsistent equipment progression. Why bother farming a single uncommon mob for a rare armor drop when you could mine ore for half the tedium and twice the benefits? Being a massive game, I understand they wouldn't ve able to balance _all_ of it, but still.

[@Ketsui.]

[@kontousuniente4952]

Armour part actually make some sense. In real life a lot depends on material, so it isn't that surprising that armour made with magic metal soft enough to be formed into robe doesn't protect very well. Also thick layer of cloth is surprisingly good as armour. In some cases it would be even better than steel plate armor,, and there is a thing like gambison, with is a steel plated armour that looks like regular clothing so it is possible that armour that looks like Christmas dress give more protection than some old or plant based armour. Damage from falling also doesn't have much to do with how well are your legs protected so it would be safer to land in good chest armour and rolling over your back after absorbing some momentum on legs, than landing only on your legs with steel plated legs armour. Cosmetic clothing is intended to be wear over regular armour so its real life counterparts would be expected to be as tin light and flexible as possible so that you can wear them on top of any armour is less realistic than that it would not protect. Don't get me wrong, it still isn't realistic at all but it as approximation it isn't completely off

Okay, so the Bast statue actually kind makes sense. Beyond the amazing play on words of the buff name, Bast is the Egyptian goddess of hearth and home, with strong protective qualities, especially over children and, by extension, houses that they lived in. Bast is also one aspect of a triple goddess, with Sekhmet being one other aspect of the goddess, who is a powerful protective warrior. So, Bast in general has a lot of association with protection, especially of homes, which one could assume would be where a statue of her would logically be located.
