Defense Penetration vs Armor Penetration

On the character stats page, there is Defense Penetration under General and Armor Penetration under Physical Offense (and also Resistance Penetration under Special Offense).

What is Defense Penetration? It appears to be 0% on every character I check, but it is referenced in abilities (such as T3 Master Gearhead). Does it cover both armor and resistance penetration, the way that "offense" affects both physical damage and special damage? If so, is its spot in the character stats irrelevant and should be deleted?

  • Defense penetration says 0% for all characters.

    You need to look at T3's armour penetration (for physical attacks) and resistance penetration (for special attacks). T3 gets 100% boost (so they double) to those stats in battle, which he then shares with his allies.

    Defense penetration is an umbrella term that covers both armour and resistance penetration.
