Quote:The basic point of this is three-fold: defense is linear, and not tiered - a difference from SL, wherein defense increased only in 50 point steps, and increased exponentially the higher it went.
That couldn't be further from the truth. Defense in Last Raven is still tiered, and still plays basic to a 50 point system, but instead it has tiers of defense alternating between every 23 and 27 points. SL was not exponential, it was parabolic. Defense tiers in Last Rave are more linear, yes (which is a big reason why defense in Last Raven isn't as grand) but it has some points where gains from a tier are considerably higher than the rest. You could think of it as linear with infrequent steps.
