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 will use the current monster if you are in a fight (i.e. you're calling the function from an In-combat Consulting script), or the last monster you encountered otherwise.

The return value includes monster level modifications. This means that for monsters with unknown defense, the return value will be equivalent to monster_level_adjustment(). Relatedly, it will update the information returned each time it is called, to the best of KoLmafia's knowledge.

Special

If no monster is specified and no monster has been fought in this session, this function returns 0. This is because mafia forgets the value of last_monster() when it logs out.
