True damage
< Damage
| Damage | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical | Arts | True | Elemental |
True damage, sometimes referred to as Pure damage, is not reduced by DEF or RES and ignores the majority of damage mitigation effects, thus it will normally always be inflicted at exactly the specified amount. Only damage mitigations that do not specify a damage type work against True damage.
In the game files, True damage is defined as a distinct damage type that is not subject to modifiers toward the other damage types, which distinguishes it from damage that ignores defenses (as they would still be of a certain type nonetheless, such as the Physical damage from Franka's Thermite Blade talent).
Before an update, True damage was defined in-game as "damage that ignores DEF and RES".
