Tougher Times

 is an item in Risk of Rain 2.

The item grants a 15% (+15% per stack) chance of negating incoming damage. If the roll is successful, the damage will be negated and a "Blocked!" message will appear instead of damage numbers.

Math
The chance to activate is determined by the formula $$f(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{1 + 0.15 \bullet amount}$$

The chance to block is not affected by or.
