Question about Chaos attack/def reduction

From what I have read from Chucks guide. In Chaos Argent your attack is about 1/4 of what it is outside CA. Does anyone know if PR and Defense are reduced the same.

all i know is that Champs got more HR in CA

Pr and defence stays the same, only attack decreases. That's why tankers still tank a lot, and you slash less on the people who have high PR. For example, Zack slashing Cullin. Only hits about 2-3k.

Seems to me pr and def must be reduced as well. Lets say you go into Chaos Argent with a pr necklace and shield and your pr is now 90. and lets say your surrounded by pro crusaders all buffed and each with an attack of 10k. If Chucks guide is correct and your attack is one fourth your normal attack that would make the pro crusaders attack 2500 each. After the PR reduction of 90% you are left with an attack of 250 for each attacker. If your defense is at least 250 then these pro crusaders would not be able to break it, but in Chaos Argent I see it happen. From what i figure pr and defense is reduced in somewhat equal amounts as attack, the two things that seems not affected are your total spr and hp.

my theory is that the done by yours attacks and the recived one may be balanced according to the skill, your HP and your defense, not your PR

Example #1: lets go back in time and take TOM (old SS with 3 to 6k HP) reciving a Poison Dart lvl 10 from Random Cruss, in notmal fight it wuld hardly take some HP from Him, but in CA it kill him and i saw how come Champs and cruss get lot of damage from this attack but somehow Slashes as Advo said before are a quarter part of it strenght.
Example #2: Take a cleric or SM which's spirit reach 200, in normal battle and health skill lvl 3 it wuld give 2.2k+ HP, but in CA it give less than 1k but its Bolt according to my experience is kinda stronger than in normal battle.
Example #3: Constitution Versus PR- put in CA 2 chars, one with more PR than the second but less CON, now put them into fight: PR wuldnt help a lot but can harld help for survivence. how? i checked how a person with more PR but less HP harly survived to BDs and PvP because seems they ignore PR on melee

i wuld like to add more tips here but i dont have quiet good experience with SS and Voys, even with that i think i proved my point.

-Conclution-

CA has some "tricks" which allow players to use a complete diferent kind of battle strategy and skills combination, making A REAL NEED of hight HP, CON and HR and less need of dodge and PR since this two dosnt seems to show a real change when the time comes.

I think this is a real complex discussion and maybe succes is realtive about how u use your character.
Hope this culd help readers
