In Last Epoch, Minion Dodge Rating (MDR) is a stat that helps your minions avoid enemy attacks:

Functionality:

  • MDR operates similarly to your character’s dodge chance.
  • Higher MDR translates to a higher chance for your minions to evade an incoming attack.
  • This can significantly increase your minions’ survivability, especially in challenging encounters.

Sources of MDR:

There are two primary ways to improve your minions’ dodge rating:

1. Item Modifiers:

  • Item Prefixes: Certain prefixes provide an increase to melee dodge chance or ranged dodge chance, which applies to your minions if their primary attack type matches the prefix (e.g., melee prefix for melee-focused minions). Different tiers of these prefixes offer varying percentage increases.
  • Item Suffixes: Specifically, Large Idols (1×3) and Huge Idols (1×4) can roll the suffix Minion Dodge Rating Added, with various tiers offering different values (e.g., Tier 1: 89-240).

2. Skill Passives:

  • Some skill passives offer bonus MDR for specific minion types. For example, the Empress of Thorns Specialization’s Fur of the Titan passive grants increased dodge chance to summoned bears.

Additional Notes:

  • MDR does not completely negate damage. Even with high MDR, there’s still a chance your minions can be hit.
  • MDR works independently of your character’s dodge chance.
  • Stacking: All sources of MDR add together directly.

Finding the Optimal MDR:

The ideal MDR for your build depends on several factors:

  • Minion type: Some minions are inherently tankier than others, making them potentially less reliant on high MDR.
  • Difficulty level: Harder difficulties typically require higher minion survivability, so higher MDR might be beneficial.
  • Other defensive options: Consider whether investing in other defensive options like increased minion health or life regeneration might be a better use of resources.

By understanding the mechanics of MDR and its interaction with other modifiers, you can optimize your minion build for better survivability in Last Epoch.
