1. What is SoD in Honor of Kings?

SoD (Strength of Defense) is a game metric in Honor of Kings that measures a hero's defensive capabilities against physical attacks. It combines base defense stats with hero bonuses, equipment bonuses, and percentage modifiers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the SoD equation:

Where:

• \( BaseDefense \) — Hero's innate defense stat
• \( HeroBonus \) — Defense bonuses from hero skills
• \( EquipmentBonus \) — Defense from equipped items
• \( DefensePercentage \) — Percentage-based defense modifiers

Explanation: The equation combines all flat defense bonuses before applying percentage multipliers.

3. Importance of SoD Calculation

Details: Accurate SoD calculation helps players optimize their builds, choose appropriate equipment, and understand their hero's survivability in battles.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all defense values in points and percentage modifiers as whole numbers (e.g., 15 for 15%). All values must be non-negative.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good SoD value?
A: This varies by hero role. Tanks typically aim for 1000+ points, while damage dealers may prioritize other stats.

Q2: How does SoD differ from Magic Defense?
A: SoD protects against physical attacks, while Magic Defense protects against magical attacks.

Q3: Do all heroes benefit equally from SoD?
A: No, tank heroes typically have higher base defense and scale better with SoD items.

Q4: How does armor penetration affect SoD?
A: Enemy armor penetration reduces the effectiveness of your SoD in actual combat.

Q5: Should I always maximize SoD?
A: Not necessarily - balance between defense and other stats is often optimal.
