So buffs and debuffs are split in 2 different categories: P.A.U. (Passives, Actives and Ultimates that are each capped at 30% but do combine for better results; for a total of +90% of a buff or -90% for a debuff) as well as by TYPE (physical, elemental, and then by specific weapon and by element)...
So to deal max damage of a specific weapon or element, it is possible to go (AS AN EXAMPLE): +90% sword strength, -90% sword resistance, +90% physical strength and -90% physical resist = a total 360% damage increase?
(Perhaps there currently aren't enough buffs/debuffs currently in-game to accomplish this but...) This is how the math works?
Or buffs AREN'T divided by passives, actives and ultimates, which would create a total of just 120% damage increase?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

I've read somewhere that there is a limit of buffs/and debuffs.. maybe it was 200%.. have to look for it, but yeah. your first example is correct :3 with keepers and divine beast you get 2 new categories now, too ;)

[@williamkimball4901]

@@free2PlayerCotC That's actually insane! I mean, I honestly love that that's how they're making the game and maybe with the increase in categories they'll be an increase in the percentage cap to 300 or 400% but they'd probably only do that with a big endgame update.

[@free2PlayerCotC]

it's a fantastic part of this game - I'm glad you like it so much :D

[@cesarbarbosa4109]

Whats an example of a passive debuff to reach 90%?

[@stevenher2532]

So is the heroic sword accesory you get from the warrior tower better the mighty skill warrior emblem?
Whats the difference between them?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

mighty skill boosts 10% sword damage and gives 20patk. the heroic boosts 30% sword damage! :D

[@stevenher2532]

@free2PlayerCotC so the heroic sword accessory from tower is overall better? Can you only get one heroic from the tower?

[@vidlampung7188]

Bro any idea who traveler can boost passive joint like Lynette ?

[@free2PlayerCotC]

Lots. It depends on what passive your searching for.

[@vidlampung7188]

@@free2PlayerCotC like primrose wat can passive she have ??

[@vidlampung7188]

And last ... Where did u get mighty emblem warrior

[@free2PlayerCotC]

From the greedy shards exchange. You should really look deeper into the game. There are lots of interesting things all over the place! Just be curious and look through every menu!

[@epzilon3836]

You are mistaken about the warrior emblems, like 2bs crit passive they contribute to the 30% generic “damage up” cap. Only thing different is the mode of activation. So long as 2b is getting a critical strike the 30% sword damage up from the emblems is redundant and doing nothing

[@free2PlayerCotC]

This makes no sense because one is sword damage and the other is critical damage. There are even two passive emblems on 2b for the different effects. Why shouldn't they stack? If everything which has "... damage up" in its effect text, then it would make sense. Otherwise, I'm totally against that ruling 😂

[@zeuslastarxz]

Lol, you're wrong. He's absolutely right about passives. 30% sword damage up is different from 30% crit up. Therefore, they stack together.

[@epzilon3836]

@@zeuslastarxz go watch shizukatz buff debuff guide, it explains how the “damage” buff works separate. For example scarecrow has the same critical force crit damage passive as 2b but at 20% and a 20% damage up when hitting broken enemy. These both contribute to the same cap of 30%. The big thing to watch out for is the phrasing “damage”

[@epzilon3836]

@@free2PlayerCotC sofia has 30% ice damage up meaning she caps out her “damage” buff. If you stick wingate who gives 20% “damage” to paired allies when attacking broken enemy it will do nothing despite occupying different emblems. Its worded terribly but thats how it is.

[@Triplestorms]

How can we exceed 99,999? We don’t have any buffs to do that right?
