Damage Formula

General Damage Formula

This is the estimated formula to calculate adventurer and enemy damage. Note that dragon form increases your STR value by a currently unknown amount.

5/3(((100-Damage Resistance)% x Skill Modifier % x Damage Spread % x Attacker's Strength x Critical Modifier x Punisher Modifier % x Elemental Modifier) / (Defender's Defense x Defender's Defense Change))

Variable	Description
Damage Resistance	Sum of all resistance based effects.
Skill Modifier	If using a skill, the skill damage multiplier. Refer to specific skill pages for the numbers.
Damage Spread	This is essentially an "RNG" variable to determine the range of values a player can deal damage for. This ranges from 95% to 105%, but for simple calculations, assuming 100% is sufficient.
Strength	Displayed Strength (The STR number seen on an adventurer's information page in-game. This includes the Dragon passives to HP/STR, or STR, as well as the 1.5x modifier to Dragon and Weapon base stats for same element boosts) x Sum of all other Strength modifiers (Co-abilities, Abilities, Buffs)
Critical	When a unit lands a critical hit, the damage will have a ≈1.7 modifier + Sum of other Crit Mods
Punisher Modifier	Add up all punisher damage of the same type (ex: Broken Punisher 10% + Broken Punisher 25%, Ezelith using One with the Shadows 0UB, for a total of 35% Broken Punisher) Then multiply them together to get the total punisher modifier (ex: Broken Punisher 10% x Blinded Punisher 25%, Nefaria using One with the Shadows 0UB, for a 37.5% Total Punisher on a Blinded and Broken enemy)
Elemental Modifier	See Elemental Modifier below.
Defense	Base Defense for most enemies is 10 while Golem-type enemies have a base Defense of 50. Rare enemies can have a defense range anywhere between 12 to 250. Ranged adventurers (Bow/Wand/Staff) have a base defense of 8, while melee adventurers (Sword/Blade/Axe/Dagger/Lance) have a base defense of 10. To check the defense of a specific enemy or adventurer, refer to their individual Wiki pages.
Defense Change	Modifier sum of all status changes which have an effect on defense. For Boss Mode Modifiers see below. Note that currently only Golem Bosses have unique Overdrive/Break modifiers.

Elemental Modifier

The elemental bonus value is one of the following, depending on element advantage / disadvantage. See Elements for more information.

Disadvantaged	0.5
