[Damage Formula According to Attack Type]

Basic Attack

Target's Applied Defense = (Target's Defense * ( 1 - Armor penetration(%) ) ) - Armor penetration

Attack Power Damage Calculation = (( Attack Power * 100 / (100 + Target's Applied Defense) * (1 + Upon Crit Strike, (0.65 + Crit Strike Damage Increase(%))))

Damage Increase = Attack Power Damage Calculation + ( Attack Power Damage Calculation * ( Damage Increase(%) - Target's Damage Reduction(%) ))

Basic Attack(%) = Damage Increase * ( 1+ Extra Basic Attack Damage(%) - Target's Basic Attack Damage Reduction(%) )

Extra Basic Attack = Basic Attack(%) + ( Extra Basic Attack Damage - Target's Basic Attack Damage Reduction)

Final Damage = ( Extra Basic Attack * Final Additional Damage(%) ) + Final Additional Damage)

Mode Balancing Final Damage = Final Damage * ( Damage adjusted by Mode(%) - Target's Damage taken adjusted by Mode(%))

Damage Formula

Armor penetration → Basic Attack (Including Crit Strike) → Additional Damage Increase → Extra Basic Attack (%) Amp → Extra Basic Attack Amp → Final Damage → Mode Balancing

Skill Attack

Target's Applied Defense = (Target's Defense * ( 1 - Armor penetration(%) ) ) - Armor penetration

Skill's Base Damage = (Skill Damage* 100 / (100 + Target's Applied Defense))

Damage Increase = Skill's Base Damage + ( Skill's Base Damage * ( Damage Increase (%) - Target's Damage Reduction(%) ))

Skill Damage Reduction(%) = Damage Increase * ( 1 - Target's Skill Damage Reduction (%))

Final Damage = ( Skill Damage Reduction(%) * Final Additional Damage (%) ) + Final Additional Damage

Final Damage from Mode Adjustment= Final Damage * (Damage adjusted by Mode (%) - Target's Damage taken adjusted by Mode (%))
