Physical damage

Damage
Physical	Arts	True	Elemental

Physical damage is reduced by DEF, which reduces the damage at a flat rate (e.g. 100 DEF = -100 physical damage taken), and is calculated using the following formula:

f = [atk − (d − if) × (1 − is)] × (amp × red)

d = [(def + mod1) × (1 + b) − mod2] × (1 − mod3)

Where:

• f represents the final physical damage.
• atk represents ATK once all ATK buffs and multipliers are applied.
• if represents flat DEF Ignore.
• is represents scaling DEF Ignore.
• d represents DEF once all buffs and debuffs are applied.
• def represents DEF once all stage buffs and multipliers are applied.
• mod1 represents the sum of flat DEF increase.
• b represents the sum of all scaling DEF Buffs.
• mod2 represents the sum of flat DEF decrease.
• mod3 represents the product of all scaling defense Debuffs.
• amp represents the sum of all physical damage amplifications.
• red represents the sum of all physical damage reductions.
• The minimum value of f is 5% of atk.
• The minimum value of def is 0.

Flat defense modifiers from enemies, such as the debuff inflicted by Acid Originium Slugs are calculated before the scaling DEF increase.
