This is a list of all Damage Types and Mitigations in Skull and Bones. See the different types of Damage and find out what Damage Mitigation is all about in this guide!
Ability to Resist Specific Damage Type
Damage Mitigation is your ship’s ability to resist different damage types. Attaching Ship Armors will help you negate these ailments. If a Ship Armor has a higher damage mitigation percentage in a specific damage type, then your ship will have more chances of being able to withstand that type of attack!
