So I'm considering upgrading my lab from level 9 and spending cores to get up to levle 14 where I can research Deci. My questions:

1. Does the researched damage reduction scale with your level? For example, would level 1 Deci (-600) scaled to my level (50k) mean that the actual reduction is DamageReduction*(PlayerLevel810%) or -600*(50,000*0.10)= 3,000,000?

2. Is it even worth it? I'm attacked by such a range of players, but let us figure that many of them have researched to level 10 or more (ingots are easy to get after all, but I'll average on the low side). At level 10, they get 8,000 damage base. A level 30k player would therefore hit me at 24,000,000 damage without factoring in a General's bonus. Therefore, I am only reducing the damage by 1/8th in this case. More than likely, they are hitting with much higher (42 million for level 15 Deci for that same level 30k player.

Even if I saved up 9 Deci Cores, and spent 5 CCores and 5 Ingots, I'm only going to halve the base damage. So again, is it really worth it?
