A Look at Combat Mechanics Behind the Scenes [Patch 1.1]

This guide includes exclusive info about the damage and healing formulas, overdrive mechanics, aggressiveness mechanics, hate mechanics, ultimate mechanics, state mechanics, passive ability mechanics, active ability mechanics, and patch changes in details.

The Damage and Healing Formulas

The Damage Formula

((ATK ^ 2 / DEF) * Ability Multiplier / Attacker Modifier) * Damage Multiplicative State Modifier * Attacker Modifier * Overdrive Modifier * Critical Modifier * Elemental Modifier * Passive Modifier * Mech Modifier * Random

The Healing Formula

(Power + (MND + MAG / 4) * Ability Multiplier * Overdrive Modifier * Random) * Critical Modifier * Passive Modifier * Mech Modifier

Attacker Modifier

• player character = 1
  
• enemy character = 2

Overdrive Modifier (Green)

• damage dealt and healing done = 1.25
  
• damage received = 0.85

Overdrive Modifier (Red)

• damage dealt and healing done = 1
  
• damage received (physical) = 1.25
  
• damage received (magical) = 1.5

Critical Modifier

• 1.5, up to 2 with the Crit Damage Up passive.
  
• 1 if no critical hit has been triggered.

Elemental Modifier

1 + Element Bonus + Vulnerability Bonus - Enemy Resistance

• The Element Bonus is the bonus granted by the [Element] Attack passives. Applies if Enemy Resistance is less than 0, otherwise is equal to 0.
  
• The Vulnerability Bonus is equal to the number of vulnerability debuffs triggered. (Oil, Wet, Dry, Heavy)
  
• Enemy Resistance is 0 by default. The bestiary displays the resistances of each enemy in %. (30% = 0.3)

Damage Multiplicative State Modifier

• Refers to the positive states that multiply damage output. (Elemental Pact, Heaven or Hell, etc...)
  
• 1 by default, +X depending on the effect of the state(s).

Mech Modifier (Gear 0)

• damage dealt and received = 0.75
  
• healing done = 0.5

Mech Modifier (Gear 2)

• damage dealt and received = 1.25
  
• healing done = 1.5

Notes

• Random = 1 ~ 1.025
  
• Power is a fixed number with a value that varies by ability.

Takeaways

• The offensive stats (ATK and MAG) have a significantly higher weight in damage calculations than defensive stats (DEF and MND).
  
• Considering the first point, offensive buffs / debuffs make a bigger difference than defensive buff / debuffs, so always prioritize applying the former first. (e.g. Debuffing an enemy's attack would protect you significantly better than buffing your party's defense, especially so in harder difficulties.)
  
• The ATK and MAG stats are so strong that it's never a good idea to prioritize Critical Chance over them.
  
• On the other hand, it's never worth equipping DEF UP passives. MND UP should only be equipped on characters who do mostly nothing but heal.
  
• In mech battles, healing is especially very effective at gear 2 with a modifier of +50% extra healing.
  
• For some reason, magic casting enemies are especially dangerous in overheat, dealing +50% extra damage instead of the typical +25%.

Enemy Stats Per Setting

Setting	Modifier
Low	75%
Normal	100%
High	115%

Note: This is in respect to their bestiary's displayed stats.

Overdrive Mechanics

The Overdrive Area Size Per Setting

Foot Battles

Setting	Range
Wide	30 - 90
Normal	40 - 90
Extra Tight	40 - 80
Twisting Wind*	0 - 20 and 41 - 60

*A boss ability.

Mech Battles

Setting	Range
Wide	14 - 86
Normal	24 - 76
Extra Tight	34 - 66

Action Effects on the Overdrive

Foot Battles

Action	Effect
Switching	-5
Defending	-5
Normal Attacking	+5
Abilities	+7
Overdrive Action-Type Match	-12
Ultimate	-15

Mech Battles

Gear	Effect
1	Default
2	Reverse
0	No Effect

Overdrive Action-Type

The Overdrive's required action type is limited by the actions available to the 4 active characters. For example, if none of them have a Utility-type ability, the Overdrive will never ask you to perform one.

Hate Mechanics

How Hate Works

• 60% of the time, the target is completely random.
  
• 40% of the time, enemies pick the target that they hate the most. If they don’t hate anyone yet, they pick a random target.
  
• If two characters have an equal amount of hate, and are not hate capped at 100, enemies would target the character who is placed earlier in order.

How different actions accumulate Hate

Action	Effect	Enemies Affected
Defending	-5	All Enemies
Normal Attacking	+5	Target Enemy
Single-Target Abilities	+10*	Target Enemy
Multi-Target Abilities	+5*	All Enemies
Buffing / Healing / Utility Abilities	+5*	All Enemies
Ultimate Abilities	+15*	Target Enemy / All Enemies
Single-Target Taunt Abilities	+20*	Target Enemy / All Enemies
Multi-Target Taunt Abilities	+15*	Target Enemy / All Enemies

*Exceptions exist.

Takeaways

• Even with starting hate, a character can only have up to 55% chance of getting targeted by enemy single-target attacks.
  
• A character only needs to have higher hate than everyone else to have a higher likelihood of getting targeted more often. The difference does not matter.
  
• Taunting abilities aren’t very effective at drawing aggro.
  
• The accessory, “Knight’s Honor”, and the passive, “War Cry”, are your best bets if you want enemies to aggro a certain character. Do keep in mind that they do not stack.
  
• Defending is the only action in the game that drops accumulated aggro, although it's very minor.
  
• Hate caps at 100. This means that eventually enemies would start picking random targets 100% of the time again.

Enemy Aggressiveness Mechanics

What is Aggressiveness?

Aggressiveness is the likelihood that an enemy would use an ability instead of normal attacking.

Enemy Aggressiveness Per Setting

Setting	Modifer
Low	-15
Normal	0
High	+15

The Aggressiveness Formula

The enemy uses an ability if the following condition is met:

Random  + Setting Modifier > 100 - Ability Priority

Where:

• Random: a random number between 0 and 100.
  
• Setting Modifier: the modifier based on the setting.
  
• Ability Priority: A number indicating the priority of the ability.

Every time the enemy makes a normal attack, his ability priority increases by a variable amount, depending on the enemy. If the enemy uses an ability, their ability priority drops back to 0.

Ultimate Mechanics

How Different Events Accumulate the Ultimate Bar

Event	Effect
All Player Character Actions	+3
Landing a Critical Hit	+3
Exploiting a weakness with Specialist	+3|+6 |+9*
Ultra Move	200%|300%|400%*

Note: Spirit and Cres actions do not fill the bar by default, but the bonuses from landing critical hits or exploiting a weakness with Specialist do apply.
*For passive level 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Exploiting multiple weaknesses doesn't stack.

Takeaways

• Multi-hit and Multi-target physical attacks with a high Crit is the primary method of increasing the Ultimate bar as fast as possible.
  
• Ultra Move multiplies the accumulation rate. Strongly recommended on characters with multi-hit attacks and a high crit rate, most notably Mikah and Sienna.
  
• Lenne's [Element] Coat buffs can serve to trigger Specialist. Together with Ultra Move, this enables fully charging the Ultimate move bar in a single action.

Ultimate Effects Per Character

Character	Effect
	Deals 200% (300%) physical damage to all enemies and reduces their offensive and defensive stats by 25% for 3 turns.
	Deals 300% (400%) physical damage to all enemies.
	Deals 300% (400%) magic damage to all enemies.
	Removes all status effects from all party members, raises all of their status resistances by +1 (+2) , and resets the status resistances of all enemies to 0 .
	Regenerates all TP and grants the HP Regen buff with a potency of [5 + 5%HP] ([5 + 10%HP]) , and the TP Regen buff with a potency of 5 (10) .
	Deals 500% (700%) physical damage to a single enemy, and grant Sienna an Agililty Buff and a Crit Buff of 25% for 5 turns each.
	Deals 50% (70%) x 10 magic damage to a single enemy.*
	Revives and fully heals all allies. (Also, grants the HP Regen buff to all alive allies with a potency of [5 + 5%HP] )
	Grants the Physical-Resist state, which negates the next 2 (3) physical attacks on all allies.
	Deals 300% (400%) physical damage to all enemies.
	Deals 50% (70%) x 10 physical damage to a single enemy.
	Grants the Magic-Resist state, which negates the next 2 (3) physical attacks on all allies.
	Deals 300% (400%) magic damage to all enemies.
	Fireworks: deals up to 200% x 2 magic damage to all enemies.

Note: Parenthesis indicate effect with the Ultimate Effect Up passive. Leveling up the passive doesn't increase the bonuses that it provides.
*Actually has a single instance of damage, so it's not possible to inflict multiple status effects with equipped crystals.

Takeaways

• Most characters have generic Ultimates that do nothing but deal damage.
  
• Glenn's Ultimate is extremely powerful. A 25% Offensive debuff translates to reducing all damage received from enemies by a staggering 43.75%. A 25% Defensive debuff translates to dealing 33.34% extra damage against all enemies. The Ultimate also deals good damage to boot, considering Glenn's high ATK stat.
  
• Sienna's Ult is also great. It deals the standard 500% (700%) damage, but also significantly boosts Sienna's AGI and Crit by 25% for 5 turns.
  
• Magnolia's Fireworks ability has a higher damage multiplier than all AOE Ultimates with no Ultimate Effect Up passive equipped. Paired with Magnolia's extremely high MAG stat, this is a very damaging AOE ability.

Loot Mechanics

Drop Rates

Rarity	Drop Chance
Common	50%
Uncommon	20%
Rare	5%

Note: Enemies only drop up to 1 item by default, unless the enemy is rare.

Passives That Affect Loot

Passive	Effect
Increase Drops	10|20|30% chance to get an additional drop.
More Rare Drops	Increases chance by 5|10|15% to obtain rare drops.

Note: These abilities also function from the backline. Multiple instances of the same passive do not stack.

Rare Enemy Mechanics

• Rare enemies have a 10% chance to spawn. Can spawn by escaping the battle and re-engaging.
  
• Rare enemies drop 5 more SP.
  
• Rare enemies drop 2 common items, 2 uncommon items, and 2 rare items guaranteed (If available).

──────────────────

State Mechanics

Ailment States

State	Effect	Resistible?
Poison	Inflicts damage every turn relative to the ability damage and modifier.	No*

Notes

• The number of applications needed to successfully inflict an ailment is equal to resistance + 1.
  
• Resistances start at 0 by default.
  
• Every time the target is inflicted by an ailment, they become more resistant towards it by 1 point (if resistible).
  
• Successfully reapplying the state while it's still in effect extends the duration to the duration listed on the current ability. The potency of the state (if any), however, is retained.

Elemental Vulnerability States

State	Effect
Oil	Increases fire damage by +100%
Wet	Increases wind damage by +100%
Dry	Increases water damage by +100%
Heavy	Increases earth damage by +100%

There is nothing in blank "Notes" of the offense crystal [State] Hit (Dry, Wet, Heavy, Oil).
Does that mean these crystals will not stack? If two "Dry Hit" crystals are equiped to one character's weapon and armor ,will it effect or not?
And what about passive skill "Dry Hit" and crystal "Dry Hit"? Will they take effect?

[baramus]

This is really useful. I am curious how Agility translates to turn order. Is it linear (40 Agility Sienna gets 2 turns for every 1 turn 20 Agility Victor gets) or is it something unusual?
I noticed that Mikah can get two turns in before things with her "Go First" skill, so maybe that is a boost to speed before anything goes? It seems neat to think about.

@BROLY 32
I apologize for the late response. There's no "Ultimate effect up" crystal. I just noticed that there was a typo in my previous comment here so I'm sorry for the confusion! You're correct, the only way to get it is through the Stylish Accessory if the character doesn't posses the passive.

[Seeking Solace]

@Abel
The term "potency" is kinda broad in this game. In some abilities, "potency" is a fixed value, like Victor's Valor Minuet. In that case the ability regenerates exactly 5|5|8 (for each respective level), and is unaffected by anything else.

In some other abilities, like Victor's Shielding Mazurka, it's just another multiplier. In this case it's the "Ability Multiplier" in the Healing Formula (Shielding Mazurka follows the healing formula). The potency of an ability is influenced solely by its level.

Btw, I'm a great fan of your BB guide! It's my most visited guide on Steam by far. This guide is a horrible mess in comparison.

Please do take some of the info here with a grain of salt. Some stuff became outdated with the new patch, and some details may be off because the majority of the info here has been proof-read and fact-checked solely by myself.

[Abel]

Hello and thank you for this guide !
Do you know what potency is influenced by? And how does it affect damage, healing, etc.?

[BROLY 32]

Or maybe it's just on the stylish accessory. In that case I guess I'll put it on Sienna.

[BROLY 32]

Hey ! I'm having fun grinding crystals right now but I got a question I couldn't find the answer to anywhere : where can I get the "Ultimate effect up" crystal ? Is it an unique one like chemistry ?

Thanks for the big effort this would have taken!
