State of Readiness is really fun. It reduces the amount of land that you will lose by half of the percentage that you have, so if you have 20% state of readiness, the land you will lose is 1% less. If you have 75% SoR, you will lose 3.6% less land. Likewise, if you have -20% SoR you will lose 1% more land. State of readiness moves in the direction of 0 by 5% every tick. If you are at -20% SoR, then next tick you will be at -15% SoR. If you are at 20% SoR then next tick you will be at 15% SoR. State of Readiness also works as a defensive multiplier, it will raise (or if in the negative, lower) defense by x%. 20% SoR gives you 20% more base defense. SoR can be raised either by being hit or by having perimeter wall/ward cast on you. (Perimeter wall and ward are the same thing, it just is called either name.) SoR can be brought to the negatives by having sleep cast on you.
