Aegis
What each level gives you
- Lv 4Defense +X.
- Lv 7Defense +X. Physical Resistance +X%
Each row is everything Aegis grants once the affix reaches that level, not what that level adds on its own. A roll below level 4 does nothing at all, and the second effect only appears at level 7. The magnitudes read X because they are not fixed: each one scales with the affix level on the individual roll, so two copies of the same piece can carry very different numbers.

How affixes work
Full guide →Affixes are the rolled modifiers that sit on weapons and armor. Each piece draws its affixes from an affix library, and an affix's effect scales with its level — so the same affix can be weak on a low roll and build-defining on a high one. Reroll and upgrade affixes with affix gems to push the breakpoints higher. In your inventory Aegis sits in the blue group — survivability rolls that raise what you can walk into.
