I agree that defense should have an impact, and it should be at least +4! No question about that. Now, let's do some math!
For the Centaur to win, it needs to deal 10 damage in 4 attacks. Since its damage is 2-3, there will be 2^4 combinations, which is 16. Let's list them:

01) 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
02) 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 9
03) 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 9
04) 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 10
05) 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 9
06) 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 10
07) 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 10
08) 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 11
09) 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9
10) 3 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 10
11) 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 10
12) 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 11
13) 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10
14) 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 11
15) 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11
16) 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

As you can see from the calculations, the Centaur doesn't deal 10 damage, and therefore it only wins in scenarios 1, 2, 3, 5, and 9. This means that the Centaur's chance of winning this battle is 5/16, or 31.25%, while the Halberdier's chance of winning is 11/16, or 68.75%.

Now, I'll try to explain myself! I tested it like this: a Knight (2-2-1-1) with a Halberdier against a Ranger (1-3-1-1) with a Centaur Captain. In my example, after the Halberdier presses the spacebar, the defense kicks in, and he easily defeats the Centaur!!!!! In reality, you need to test the strength of a monster with equal parameters, and I'm not sure why I didn't do that! :confused:

From everything said above, the following conclusions can be drawn:I was wrong!!!! Therefore, I would like to admit my mistake and apologize for the harsh words and for misleading many people! Huge thanks to Fireball for setting me straight!!!

I would also like to apologize to "The One." It was unacceptable to be rude to a woman, even if I was sure I was right! Please accept my apologies; I'm just a very hot-tempered person! By the way, congratulations on March 8th ;)
