Damage Calculator

How to calculate Attack/Defense Damage calculator?

The calculator subtracts defense from attack to get base damage, then applies multipliers and reductions to produce the final damage.

Final Damage = max(Attack - Defense, 0) × Damage Multiplier × (1 - Damage Reduction)

Using the Attack/Defense Damage calculator calculator: an example

Example inputs used in the steps below.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. Compute base damage: max(120 − 40, 0) = 80.
2. Apply multiplier: 80 × 1.5 = 120.
3. Apply reduction: 120 × (1 − 0.2) = 96 final damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can defense fully negate damage?

Yes. If defense is greater than or equal to attack the base damage becomes zero and the final damage will be zero after modifiers.

How does damage reduction work?

Damage reduction is a fractional value (for example 0.2) that multiplies the modified damage by (1 - reduction) to lower the result.

Should I round final damage?

Rounding depends on your game's rules. Common practice is to round down to an integer, but the calculator shows the exact numeric result unless otherwise specified.

Can multipliers be less than 1?

Yes. Multipliers below 1 reduce damage and represent debuffs or weakening effects; values are determined by game mechanics.
