* Bod: Bod is your deck's actual defense rating while in the Matrix. Don't confuse this with Hardening, which is an unchangeable value attached to each deck. If you want to use the analogy of fighting in the real world, you can think of Hardening as your natural toughness, and Bod as your toughness after you factor in what type of armor you're wearing. | * Bod: Bod is your deck's actual defense rating while in the Matrix.

* Evasion: Evasion controls the Persona's capability to dodge incoming attacks from hostile ice. The higher its rating, the more often your Persona will be able to evade attacks. | * Evasion: Evasion controls the Persona's capability to dodge incoming attacks from hostile ice.

It should also be mentioned, that even though it is not mentioned in the evasion's description, it will also increase the accuracy/effectiveness of your attack utility drastically, making this an important upgrade for barrier and black ice.. | |||
* Masking: This is perhaps the most important rating of the deck. It affects two important areas: Node detection and the Deception program. A high Masking attribute means that a.)it will take longer for the system to detect your actions and sound alerts; and b.)you will have more success when running Deception. Since these are two very important parts of the matrix run process, it's usually a good idea to invest in a high Masking rating. | * Masking: This is perhaps the most important rating of the deck.

* Sensor: This attribute only has one use, and it's not even a very good one. Decks with high Sensor ratings will have more success when running Analyze. Whoopee. | * Sensor: This attribute only has one use, and it's not even a very good one. Decks with high Sensor ratings will have more success when running Analyze. Whoopee. |
