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: $$f(x) = \bigg(1 - \frac{1}{0.15x + 1} \bigg) = \bigg( \frac{0.15x + 1}{0.15x + 1} - \frac{1}{0.15x + 1} \bigg) = \frac{0.15x}{0.15x + 1}$$

Where $$x $$ is the amount.

The chance to block is not affected by or.
