Dual Dragons Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm unable to figure out what exactly is the damage calculation for Assault and similar staves. Level 9 Troubadour with Assault Attack: 16 Assault: 10 Description from tapping the Staff icon: "Staff. Magical weapon. Range: 2 (attack only). Damage reduced by target's Res." Level 9 Gwendolyn/Wendy Defense: 15 Resistance: 8 She took 4 damage from this Troubadour. My Beruka took 4 despite having 7 Res. It doesn't make sense to me even if I subtract the Res from the assumed base Attack, the combined Attack, or just from Assault. Though the fact that it only dealt 4 to both Gwendolyn and Beruka despite differing Res's makes me think there's something else I'm missing here (like dividing by two and truncating decimals or something like that).

Soonaynay Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I would also like to know the answer to this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuke Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 What is Beruka def? Is it 15? If it's less than 15. Then Assault is definitely a Magic attack. We just dont know the attack formula yet. I thought it was ((Mt+Atk)- def/res )/2. But it isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Based on those examples, it would seem to be the usual damage calculations plus a "/2, then rounded down if applicable" at the end. Two matchups isn't really a big enough sample size, though. Edited February 4, 2017 by Topaz Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonaynay Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Got some more data! Lissa: Atk 20; Assault 10 Attacked Cavalier: Res 5 -> 7 damage Attacked Mage: Res 6 -> 7 damage In addition, with Lucina's passive skill of Atk+2, Lissa did 8 damage to both the cavalier and mage. So far, Topaz's formula looks right! (Reg damage calc)/2 rounded down works in both of these cases. Will continue to experiment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuke Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I think Topaz is right Where I made my mistake is .. I put MIGHT+ATK but MIGHT is already included in ATK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatsumaFSoysoy Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Attack damage is very very weird. It doesn't seem to be based on Power + Might - Def/Res alone, even when triangle and other bonuses are not factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I think we need numbers. Lots of numbers. Unfortunately, I'm out of stamina, and I don't want to chug all of my potions today.

Is Might already factored into the Attack Power stat though? If so that might be why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual Dragons Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 @Ryuke: It was 15-16 Def (she leveled up that map and can't remember what she had when she fought). @Topaz Light: I know it's a small sample size. Just thought I can get some insight from others (seems the "/2" would be about right) and wouldn't mind putting more data here in the future regarding the matter. I was more hoping in that it wasn't me that Assault was working in that way. @Soonaynay: Though a small sample size, it's a good start. Thanks for the input. @SatsumaFSoysoy: So far, the normal formula of Attack + Might - Def/Res is sound to me. I haven't been able to level up in stars yet but I think the Attack is already factoring in the Might. Examples of Camilla and Olivia switching weapons in spoiler: Spoiler Here's my 5-star Camilla with different weapons: Camilla w/ Iron Axe (Might: 6) = 24 Camilla w/ Steel Axe (Might: 8) = 26 Camilla w/ Brave Axe (Might: 5) = 23 Camilla w/ Brave Axe+ (Might: 8) = 26 And 4-star Olivia: Olivia w/ Iron Sword (Might: 6) = 15 Olivia w/ Steel Sword (Might: 8) = 17 Olivia w/ Silver Sword (Might: 11) = 20 The weapon triangle advantage/disadvantage, from observation, applies the 20% to the Attack (it truncates decimals) and then calculates damage the way we've known. And effectiveness seems to be +50% to Attack. No numbers for now but could provide those if necessary in an edit. Thanks for the comments, everyone. If I feel like looking into the matter more, I might edit this post with new data or write another post with the data. And anyone's welcome to contribute if interested. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) I did some tiny maths here (like really tiny) but yeah, effective bonus seems to be +50% Atk. Also staves damage being halved makes some sense as they're supposed to be weak but unhindered by the triangle. Also also the weapon Mt is already included in Atk calculation.

Ryuke Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Okay... Red Alphonse vs Grey Takumi 18+2(Darting Blow) - 10 (def) = 10 dmg (Correct)Blue Corrin vs Grey Sakura 22 Atk - 12 Res = 10 dmg (Correct) No division. Maybe its just for Assault. (Need more testing?)Red Sword Hits Blue Lance - IE Weakness (I have 1 Triangle Adept => 5 star Roy) (Atk-Def)/2 AND ROUND UP (Triangle Adept didnt seem to play a role or it helps the round up) (36-15)/2 = 10.5 (And I deal 11 dmg)Red Sword Hits Blue Lance - (w/o Triangle Adept => Alphonse) (18-15)/2 = 1.5 AND ROUND DOWN (I can only deal 1 dmg) Blue Lance Hits Red - IE Weakness (I have 1 Triangle Adept => 5 star Roy) (21*1.2-16*0.9) = 10.8 (They deal 11) -- 0.9 because Triangle Adept (Either its 0.9 your def or 1.3* their attack)Blue Lance Hits Red - (w/o Triangle Adept => Alphonse) (21*1.2-14*1) = 11.2 Rough doesnt make sense math Edited February 4, 2017 by Ryuke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Check enemy skills/your own unit skills. Those will affect damage (especially the Hone skills). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Triangle benefits are +/−20% Atk, not doubling or halving or anything, actually. Triangle Adept increases both the boost and the penalty, like the reaver weapons in FE7 and 8. 46 minutes ago, Ryuke said: Red Sword Hits Blue Lance - IE Weakness (I have 1 Triangle Adept => 5 star Roy) (Atk-Def)/2 AND ROUND UP (Triangle Adept didnt seem to play a role or it helps the round up) (36-15)/2 = 10.5 (And I deal 11 dmg) Red Sword Hits Blue Lance - (w/o Triangle Adept => Alphonse) (18-15)/2 = 1.5 AND ROUND DOWN (I can only deal 1 dmg) Blue Lance Hits Red - IE Weakness (I have 1 Triangle Adept => 5 star Roy) (21-16)*2 = 10 (They deal 11) ... It could be the Triangle Adept.Blue Lance Hits Red - (w/o Triangle Adept => Alphonse) (21-14)*2 = 14 (They deal 11) Red Roy (Triangle Adept rank 1, I presume, so additional −10%) hits Blue Lance: 36 × 0,7 = 25,2, rounded down to 25; 25 − 15 = 10. Red Alfonse (supposedly with Death Blow rank 1, so additional 2 Atk) hits Blue Lance: 20 × 0,8 = 16; 16 − 15 = 1. Blue Lance hits Red Roy (Triangle Adept rank 1 again, so additional +10%): 21 × 1,3 = 27,3, rounded down to 27; 27 − 16 = 11. Blue Lance hits Red Alfonse: 21 × 1,2 = 25,2, rounded down to 25; 25 − 14 = 11. No idea why your Roy did one more damage in the first example. There must have been some skills I can't remember off the top of my head. Edited February 4, 2017 by Vaximillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuke Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Thank you ... Vaximillian. I forgot I had Death Blow on Alphonse. Thanks for correcting me ( & Eclipse ) Nope.. no bonus skill on Roy. Just did another example. Same thing Roy Red hits Blue Lance of same def. 11 dmg It might be this.Red Roy (TAdept1) -> Blue 36*(0.9*0.8) = 25.92 rounded up 26 -15 = 11Blue -> Red Roy (TAdept1) 21*(1.2*1.1) = 28-16 = 12-2 = 10 (But I took 11 dmg. Note: the -2 is the Def+2 (Binding Blade) when equipped-It doesnt show in the Stats -- I just de-equip it to Steel sword and I didnt lose def Take 10% of the 80% I lose as damage. However if I apply this for the reverse it doesnt work.EDIT Got even more bad news. Upgrade TAdept1 to TAdept2. The math stops making sense. 37 Atk hits a 16 Def and I deal 9 dmg 19 Atk hits a 17 Def (making it 19 with BBlade) and I lose 8 dmg Edited February 4, 2017 by Ryuke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
