Function Syntax

int monster_defense()

int monster_defense(monster check_me )

• check_me is the (optional) monster to get the defense value of

Returns the defense value of the specified monster check_me. If check_me is not specified, it defaults to the last monster you encountered. This function adjusts for know effects (such as monster level modifications).

This function can be used from within an In-combat Consulting script to help determine your fight strategy. When used this way, it isn't necessary to specify a monster, as the function will default to the one currently being fought. It will update the information returned each time it is called, to the best of KoLmafia's knowledge.
