Which is more effective? And can it go together?
I heard from another member that they dont (I think Zilby) but it doesnt make sense to me.
Basic math (mistakes incoming), I am not counting auras or health.
Random god with 100 physical defense.
You have an item that reduces physical defense by 10. Another item that goes through 10% of physical defenses.
100/10 is 10
Reduced amount is obvious at 90.
With both items it would be-
100-10=90
90/10 is 9.
With 200..
200/10=20
200-10=190
190/10 is 19.
Even though its only 1 point down, its still more effective. Isnt it?
God i hate Math. If anyone could do this with items from the game feel free to.
Maybe it's because I used higher numbers but if we have exe at max stacks titans penetration was only 2/3 (aka instead of 33% read 22%).
Normally
However,
however do read carefulyl as sometimes it can be a bit vague

uhhh..thx. But u couldve just said "hey look at my item guide".
I wasn't actually irritated, I was trying to be playfully sarcastic. Sorry about that, hard to get my tone through the internets <3
I literally wrote that guide so I could stop answering questions like this lol.
Anyways, this is literally straight copypasta from the first section of my guide explaining stats and terms.
As to answer your question: flat penetration =/= protections reduction.
allows you to bypass them. Here's the difference: protections reduction affects the enemy's protections meaning your whole team will do more damage to them with physical damage, a percent penetration items will let you bypass a smaller percent because you have reduced their protections. Flat penetration just lets you bypass however much protections it equates to (eg:
So when is this inefficient you might ask? Say you grab
So situations aside, how much inefficiency can you realistically produce with penetration reduction + % penetration items? I'll make a list (assuming max stacks on each item).
As you can see, the amounts aren't huge, but against squishier enemies with only 30-50 protections they make a difference.
That is all.
