Thick Skin

Barbarian skill · Survival line · tier 2

Beta 0.7.2

His skin turns into stone plates and, when they break, they stab into the ground.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 12 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Thick Skin scales with Absorption. Its value at each rank is 3 + 2 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	5	7	9	11	13	15	17	19	21	23

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × 5 × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Survival skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value × 5; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
