Ok so I'm using the Royal Jelly band 5* and the Dread Skelly charm 5* and the defense strength of them looks to be a total of 2 bars. Their is the first half section then a whole bar and another half section but when I scroll over Gear icon (shaped like a helmet at the bottom of the character screen) the defensive strength of the piercing and shadow defense isn't the same as what the trinkets themselves show the strength shows less in the gear icon. This makes me think that I'm not getting the full benefits of the trinkets.
