Just tested this with Pharaoh Eddie, whose basic attack scales with DEF (& max HP). On Game of Death (Madness), and making sure there were no buffs/debuffs on anyone):
with 2 stone overwhelming (displayed DEF boost = 684; displayed HP boost = 13622)
sentinel soulless demon - 3631 perfect
gunner CotD - 3631 perfect
warrior CotD - 2904 perfect
with 1 stone & 1 health overwhelming (displayed DEF boost = 684; displayed HP boost = 13622)
sentinel soulless demon - 3552 perfect
gunner CotD - 3552 perfect
warrior CotD - 2841 perfect
So it appears that the DEF boost of 1% of HP for Stone is working, but not displayed.
Now, just a little bit off topic, but just to post while I'm doing the test for Pharaoh Eddie, I did the same test with 2 health overwhelming (since that same attack should also scale with HP), but despite the HP boost going up to 15312 & DEF staying constant, there was no change in damage from the 1 Stone/1 Health.

Always looking for interesting builds, started looking at this guy after the update. So many great debuffs that can play havoc on the current meta. Maybe with a set of Explosive Talismans and some energy. I just don't think he has a good damage output since it's boosted by DEF. Have seen a couple of people run him at lower levels so may play around with some stuff for next week. Someone to remove immunity as a setup, maybe Assassin Lillith and a blocker plus a damage dealer.
