Example ,rank 6,200 Attack Power

1 005 damage before the target's defenses

Combined damage: 200 + 1 = 201

Damage %: 300% + 40% × (6 − 1) = 500%

Damage before defenses: 201 × 500% = 1 005,

Rounded means to the nearest whole number. Exact halves go to the even number, so 2.5 becomes 2.

The target's Armor Class reduces this damage by 0.05% per point, up to 90%. Physical hits can also be blocked or missed. See resistance and avoidance, the damage steps and moving targets and backstabs.
