# Defense Modifers

#### In Kortstrid TCG, defense modifiers play a crucial role in mitigating the damage dealt by an attacking card. These modifiers guard against an attacking card that has the same Attack Modifier as it. If it's not the same, then it follows the same values as listed for Attack Modifiers. Understanding the strategic implications of defense modifiers can help players craft more effective decks and tactics.
