# Overdamage

Overdamage is a buff that adds an extra damaging hit to all hits of an affected adventurer's attacks. This includes standard attacks, force strikes, and skills. Essentially, Overdamage doubles the combo count of all actions, but the extra hits deal relatively-small amounts of damage.

## Mechanics

### Formula

This is the general formula to calculate the amount of overdamage dealt.

${\displaystyle {\frac {({Overdamage\ \%})*({Snapshot\ of\ buff\ giver's\ STR\ at\ time\ of\ buff})*({Damage\ Modifier\ of\ buff\ receiver's\ action})}{{Defender's\ Defense}*{Defender's\ Defense\ Change}}}}$

Please note that this is essentially a stripped-down version of the general Damage Formula, as overdamage is not affected by various components of the damage formula.

### Limitations

Overdamage has several limitations in place to limit its power potential:

• Overdamage is non-elemental.
• Overdamage does not benefit from buffs, abilities, shapeshifting, punishers or killers on the buff receiver. However, it does consider the strength boosts of the caster at the time the snapshot is taken.
• Overdamage is not subject to normal damage's 5% variance higher or lower than the expected value. Given the same strength value + damage modifier + defense value combination, Overdamage will deal the same amount of damage every time.
• Overdamage is not affected by attenuation (decaying damage per hit) such as on 's unique force strike. It will do Overdamage based on the full modifier on each hit.
• Overdamage will never deal critical hits, and will never heal the user.
• Overdamage does not deal damage to the Overdrive gauge.

### Stacking

• Only one Overdamage buff can be active at a time - it cannot stack. If another Overdamage buff is cast, the more-potent effect will be retained.
• If the effects have the same potency, then the effect with the longer duration is used.
• If the potency and duration are both the same, then the newer effect is used.
• For clarity, "potency" here refers to (Overdamage %) * (Snapshot of buff giver's STR at time of buff), not just the Overdamage % by itself. For example, if an adventurer with 5,000 strength casts 50% Overdamage at that moment, then the potency of that Overdamage is 2,500.

### Ability and Skill Interaction

Overdamage counts towards skills, abilities and chain co-abilities that count the number of hits dealt by certain skills. For example:

• 's will count both the skill's regular hits and the Overdamage hits when determining the bonus effect of the skill.
• 's ability will count both the regular hits of and the Overdamage hits it generates towards satisfying its condition.
• Overdamage hits also contribute to the combo counter, which in turn affects abilities such as Flurry Strength.
