How Damage Works

Damage consists of two components:

1. Physical Damage

Your attack’s base damage. Completely ignores the opponent’s elemental barriers – always reliable!

Formula: Base Damage + Physical Attack - (Opponent’s Physical Resistance)

2. Elemental Damage

Extra damage from elements. This is influenced by barriers and effectiveness.

Formula: Element Attack × Barrier Multiplier × Element Resistance × Effectiveness
