THE BASIS OF ALL DAMAGE: Tome of Offense

we will talk totally about the calculation of damage and much more importantly the basis of damage. This chapter will describe the damage base and how it takes role in the damage calculation.

What is damage base?

The damage base is a universal number calculated for all damage abilities in the game, including self-attacks. This damage is calculated with the damage statistics (ATK or MATK depending on the skill), the player's level, the mob level and the mob's resistance (Physics or magic respectively).

In many games, the damage calculation of a skill has the following formula:

(Attack Value + Skill Attack Value) * Skill Damage Multiplier

But what about practice? Is Toram currently different from other RPG games? No. But this one has a few whims about other RPGs, nothing out of the ordinary. It has an Attack Value (Which is the Base Damage), a Skill Attack Value (which is the Skill Constant) and a Skill Multiplier. In this case we will focus on the basis of damage.

As I said before, the damage basis is the value that governs everything over the damage calculation. This value is unchanged (THE ATK/MATK can be altered in combat) and serves as a damage base.

Here is the formula for physical skills except for those of Dual Sword (And therefore also the self-attacks of the dual sword).

Base Damage = (ATK + Player's Level - Mob's Level) * (100 - Mob's Physical Resistance)/100

In the case for magical skills:

Base Damage = (MATK + Player's Level - Mob's Level) * (100 - Mob's Magical Resistance)/100

There is no need to worry about decimal numbers as the value will be taken to the smallest number closest to the result.

Is this important?

Absolutely, having a good foundation is very important for real life or video games. While it's not all for Toram as there are many ways to increase your damage, it's one of the most important ways to raise your damage.

How do I increase this? Increase ATK/MATK

The best way is to increase your base damage, but how do I do this? This will be the story of the next chapter.

Move up to the Cap level

Although it has minimal effect on the damage base, this can severely affect a character as some values are influenced by the level.
