Damage Mechanics

Damage Calculation

The damage formula before applying crit and other effects is hypothesized to be as follows:

• UNITATTACK*UNITSKILL/(1+ENEMYDEF/1000)

In short, take your unit’s Attack, multiply by the unit’s Skill modifier, then divide by a total of 1+Enemy’s Defense divided by a thousand. So if the enemy’s Defense is 3,000, your damage will be divided by 1+3 = 4, for one quarter of the original damage. This is before factoring other effects.

For “Inversely proportional to the number of targets” moves, the multiplier is as follows:

• 1 Target: 1.45x
• 2 Targets: 1.30x
• 3 Targets: 1.15x
• 4 Targets: 1.00x 

Crit and Other Effect Calculation

The crit and other effects formula is hypothesized to be as follows:

• CALCULATED DAMAGE*(CRITDMG+HP/49500+DEF/7500+SPD/1000)

In short, take the calculated damage, and multiply by Crit Damage. If the damage of the Skill increases proportional to Health, Defense or Speed, they also apply as an additive multiplier of calculated damage, but their proportion does not stack with the Crit Damage multiplier.

Effect Chance Calculation

The effect chance of Accuracy/Evasion and Effectiveness/Resilience calculation is hypothesized to be as follows:

• (ACC-EVA)%, (EFF-RES)%

In short, take your unit’s Accuracy and minus the enemy’s Evasion and you get the chance that the attack will miss. So 200 Accuracy versus 200 Evasion means 100% Accuracy modifier, while 200 Accuracy versus 300 Evasion means 0% Accuracy modifier normally. This is likewise for Effectiveness and Resilience, which is calculated if it is not a miss. However, the chance of missing is capped at 25%. When an attack misses, no critical hits occur, the damage is reduced by 50%, and no debuff effects are applied. As for Effectiveness, to gain more effect chance, you must exceed their Resilience by a large number, which adds a percent for each excess. Also, there are some moves that outright bypass the Resilience stat.

Priority Determination

The speed of units, along with priority adding moves, influences how fast their priority fills to 100%. When their priority is 100%, they will act first. You can view the priority gauge list in battle by tapping on the center of the screen. When two units happen to share priority, the unit with the highest speed will act first. There is also an random priority adjustment at the start of the battle, which currently ranges from 0% to +5%.

Buffs and Healing Caps

Buffs and healing amounts in this game apply fixed percentages universally. For example, Crit Rate buffs are always 50% even across other units, and healing is a fixed percentage heal that cannot be boosted. This even applies to effects such as Lifesteal and Heals When Hit, which are capped at 10% Max HP.

Buff Terms

Revival and Resurrection are two different terms. Revival is a 1 turn buff applied by Saeran that revives units if they were knocked out while the buff was applied to them. Meanwhile, resurrection is a 1 turn move by Mene that revives units that have already fallen. However, both effects do not apply if the unit has been killed with Demiurge Drakhan’s Extinction Ultimate Skill.

Combat Mechanics 

Boss Weakness Gauge

All bosses have a Weakness Gauge (WG), which can be depleted through attacks and Skill Chains. When the Weakness Gauge reaches 0, the boss will enter a Break state for a specific number of turns equal to the number of your allies alive, and gains debuffs of Damage Taken Increase, Reduced Evasion by 50%, and Reduced Resilience by 100%. Once the number of turns has passed, the boss will revert to its normal state and reset its Weakness Gauge. Breaking the boss’s Weakness Gauge and boosting your ability to deplete the Weakness Gauge through Chain Point Talismans is one way to improve your ability to tackle bosses.

Boss Rage Gauge

Some bosses have a Rage Gauge (RG) and will enter an Enraged state when this is filled through various conditions. When Enraged, the boss will sometimes perform an attack, recover a specific amount of Weakness Gauge, gain Increased Attack or Damage Taken Reduction, and will remain Enraged for a specific number of turns. Once the number of turns has passed, it will then use its Enraged Ultimate Skill. If you force a boss into a Break state by depleting its Weakness Gauge while it is Enraged, you can cancel the Enraged state and incapacitate it.

Boss Passives

Some bosses have unique passives that have unique effects and conditions applying to them. You can check these passives by pressing and holding on the boss in the sortie screen. You can also check these likewise while in battle.

Equipment Mechanics

Set Effects

The obscure set effects are as follows:

2 piece sets

• Swiftness: Increases Speed proportional to missing Health. 
• Weakness: Increases damage against debuffed targets by 20%.
• Augmentation: Increases damage while buffed by 15%.

4 piece sets

• Revenge: Increases Attack proportional to missing Health, by a proportion of +135% additional Attack added to -100% HP lost. With all HP lost, this translates to 235% effective Attack.
• Patience: Increases Defense proportional to missing Health.
• Pulverization: Increases damage against targets inflicted with Break by ?%.

Other Mechanics

Cosmetic Mechanics

Unit Costumes

Units can be equipped with their costumes that you have unlocked. They can be obtained by default, events, Battle Pass and the Shop. Noa comes with a despectacled version costume available by default.

Stamina Mechanics

Stamina

Stamina regenerates 1 every 5 minutes, and caps at 150 at account level 60.

Ad Watching

You can watch up to 10 ads a day for Stamina. Each ad offers 18 Stamina and 5 Clear Tickets for every 3/5/10 ads, for a total of 180 Stamina and 15 Clear Tickets.

You can press the back button or esc button to close ads instead of pressing the X button.

If ads are causing crashing, try deleting your ad id through Settings/Google/Ads on Android.

Mission Quitting

You can quit missions freely as there is no Stamina penalty for quitting. However, quitting Arena matches and Guild Raid will result in a presumed loss and consumption of attempts.

Account Mechanics

Game Servers

There are four servers in the game currently:

Asia I, Korea, Global and Asia II.

Google Play Games/Apple Game Center

The game has a forced prompt to login to Google Play Games for game library sake. It is not a login to the game itself. You can either disable Google Play entirely which also ends up disabling the app store as well as all apps that rely on Google’s API, or you can have a Google Play Games signed in to get the prompt to turn off. Personally I would recommend the latter.
