Variables

Variable	Description
Damage Resistance	Sum all resistances of the same type together and then multiply them by the other types. Glorious Tempest MUB with 25% High Midgardsormr Resistance and 5% Wind Resistance gives a total resistance multiplier of 1-(75% x 95%) = 28.75% against High Midgardsormr (Enemy) Volcanic Queen MUB with 20% Brunhilda Resistance and 5% Fire Resistance gives a total resistance multiplier of 1-(80% x 95%) = 24% against Brunhilda (Enemy)
Skill Modifier	If using a skill, the skill damage multiplier. Refer to specific skill pages for the numbers. Skill Damage boosts are added up and then multiplied with this number. Amane's Empyreal Levin Level 3 (2 hits of 492%) with Plunder Pals MUB (25% Skill Damage) and 5% Skill Damage Co-Ability. The total Skill Damage is 30%, and increases the damage of Empyreal Levin to 2 hits of 639.6%. Lucretia's Energized Empowering Triplet (3 hits of 322%, with 50% Bonus Skill Damage) with Plunder Pals MUB (25% Skill Damage) and 8% Skill Damage Co-Ability. The total skill damage is 83%, and increases the damage of Empowering Triplet to 3 hits of 589.26%. If using a normal attack, refer to Combat Mechanics. Normal attacks do not receive boosts from Skill Damage.
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 - Displayed Strength from Ability) x (1 + Dragon STR Passive + Sum of all Abilities) x (1 + Sum of all Buffs) x (1 + blade unit Co-abilities) Displayed Strength is 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. Displayed Strength from Ability is found by clicking the Details button when looking at an Adventurer's individual page. Currently the only Ability to affect this value is the Dragon HP/STR and STR passives for matching elements.
Critical	When a unit lands a critical hit, the damage will have a 1.7 modifier + Sum of all Crit Damage modifiers.
Punisher Modifier	Add up all Punisher and Bane damage except Broken Punisher Ex. OD Punisher 8% + Thaumian's Bane 25%, for a 33% total Punisher on a OD enemy Ex. OD Punisher 8% + Sleep Punisher 20%, for a 28% total Punisher on a OD enemy Ex. OD Punisher 8% + Bleed Punisher 8%, for a 16% total Punisher on a OD enemy Ex. OD punisher 8% + OD Punisher 8%, for a 16% total Punisher on a OD enemy Add up all Broken Punisher Ex. Broken Punisher 10% + Broken Punisher 25%, Ezelith using One with the Shadows 0UB, for a total of 35% Broken Punisher) Then multiply them 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) Ex. Broken Punisher 20% x Thaumian's Bane 25%, for a 50% total Punisher on a Broken enemy.)
Elemental Modifier	See Elemental Modifier below.
Defense	Base Defense for most enemies is 10 while some thaumians have a base Defense of 50. Rare enemies can have a defense range anywhere between 12 to 250. Melee adventurers (Sword/Blade/Dagger/Axe/Lance) have a base defense of 10, while Ranged adventurers (Bow/Wand/Staff) have a base defense of 8. 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 some thaumians have unique Overdrive/Break modifiers.
