Evasion Mechanic

Evasion is a core combat mechanic in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that represents a character's ability to avoid attacks entirely. Higher evasion increases the chance to dodge enemy attacks, making it particularly valuable against strong enemies.

Evasion is implemented through the defenseSkill method in Char.java, where defensive bonus is calculated using the formula: ``` float evasion = (float) Math.pow(1.2, bonus) ``` Where 'bonus' is the sum of any defenceSkillBonus from active buffs.

• Dexterity: Higher level characters naturally have better defense
• Armor Penalty: If armor required STR exceeds effective STR, evasion is reduced by 1.5^penalty
• Equipment: Rings and other items can provide defenceSkillBonus
• Buff Effects: Temporary evasion boosts from various status effects

• Ring of Evasion: Provides +1 defenceSkillBonus per ring level
• Freerunner Subclass: Doubles evasion bonus when not starving and in motion
