Damage Absorption

Here's a comprehensive list of everything in the game that provides Damage Absorption. Damage Absorption reduces the amount of damage taken in combat and seems to work by increasing your defensive equipment's power by the Damage Absorption percentage.

Note that Tao of the Terrapin will double the effectiveness of Astral Shell and Ghostly Shell
