How to make an efficency VS a Certain Unit

[Falkonic]

Like reduce damage taken by a certain unit by (X)%
I'd need the whole thing as a Spell. Basically what I want to do is that whenever the soldier goes into DEF it reduces the damage taken by a certain unit(not all).

I would then just add / remove the spell with the ability being activated deactivated. I am thankful though if there is a way to simple integrate it into the soldier def ability itself.

See Physical Damage Detection by looking_for_help. You can modify the damage a unit does. Just make sure to check the units first. For the DEF, check for the buff.

E:AAAh, damn url tags - I always write them the other way round.

Download any damage detection system (or make your own)

Once you got that it's super simple.

I'll look into it. The Url is very simple and easy to understand. Thank you for that.

Give them more armor and a magic resistance ability.

Armor reduces damage to a minimum of 1 (before type modifiers).
Magic resistance reduces damage taken as an additive percentage, to the point that 101% will even heal you 1% when damaged.

Armor works by raising equivalent hitpoints for all attack damage (not ability) by the percentage defined by gameplay constants (default 6%). The damage reduction is diminishing however but you can compensate by scaling the armor amount added (simple equation re-arrange).

Abilities like defend and the one arcane shield thing item can reduce certain types of damage by a percentage. If the unit has mana you can use a ultra efficient mana shield to reduce damage taken by a percentage (so efficient the man used is trivial).
