Bard mercenary skill level = min(max skill level, max(1, floor(regular level ÷ 5) + floor(veteran level ÷ 10))).
Final Cadence
Requirement: mercenary level >= 50 and activeSongs = maximumCombatSongs
baseHealing = round(skillHealing(level) × (1 + min(max(CHA, 0) × 0.001, 2)))
criticalMultiplier = 1 normally, 2 on a critical heal, or 3 on 10% of critical heals
finalHealing = baseHealing × criticalMultiplier
The Bard's critical chance determines one roll shared by every recipient. Damage uses the same Charisma multiplier before the normal magic damage pipeline. Familiars are not healed. The mercenary damages only enemies that target its owner, a party member, or one of their pets.
Damage Formula
- Pre-Mitigation
- Skill Damage + Magic Damage
- Magic Damage
- (INT × 1.5 + wand.magic + equip.magic) × (1 + passive% + buff%)
Damage Pipeline
- Variance: ×0.9–1.1
- Backstab (behind target): +10% | Rogue w/ Improved Backstab: +25%
- Level difference: ±2% per level (max ±20%)
- Slayer reduction (boss/elite → player): −slayerLevel × 10%
- Enrage (non-spell): monsters +50–75% below 10% HP.
- Mitigation: −ceil(dmg × clamp(target.magicResist × 0.0005, 0, 0.9))
- Crit: ×1.5
- Radiant Aether (15% on crit, consumes 1 item): ×2 on top → ×3 total
