Langrisser M - Game Mechanics - Damage Reduction Breakdown

Haven't done a game mechanics video in quite some time, but here is one that has become pretty important given that Sleipnir wants you to gather 100% DR!

Hein will provide 100% damage reduction with steel, amulet, shrine maidens and olivier buff guaranteed. As a result, he is the easiest to use as a tank "filler" until you have Altemuller prepared, since Altemuller will at least have some counter damage.

[@Nitroglycerine]

Brain fart at the end. Right. That is 105% DR with steel and amulet.

[@daisukeyuki1215]

Good post nitro, just one small add on. All damage reduction and damage increase apply after the Attack-minus calculation. So if attack-def is negative a 300% dmg increase still does 40 dmg.

[@yulfine1688]

Now this is interesting to hear. Basically I understand this better and I see why certain things happen.

[@Nitroglycerine]

Glad it cleared things up!

[@coky7754]

This is a great example about "how to create a super useful video". All that research and great example about that research you did in 1 single video. I can't tell you "how much i love this video?" or "how manny time i have to rewatch to learn and practice it?". Thank you for it, and please keep this high quality in future. 1 more time, Thank you!

[@Nitroglycerine]

I'm going to be honest and admit these are going to be rare, because they really are time consuming and most of the mechanics in this game are well known already. But there may be a few here and there like this, if an idea for one comes up

[@coky7754]

​@@Nitroglycerine Even it's rare, i still wait some content like this in future from you. ... Anyway, i didn't see you mention Rough Sea as a damage reduction enchantment. So, is it not work or something?

[@Nitroglycerine]

@@coky7754 it's an enchant, so it works on hero only.

[@coky7754]

@@Nitroglycerine oh, thank you for that info. i will give my angelina 100% damage reduction

[@lotusasturias]

High quality content Nitro. Very well done. Zlong needs to send you an additional figurine lol.

[@Nitroglycerine]

Lol!

[@AniFanEmre]

Great Video! I would only add that there are also other soldier effects that effect the hero. Like the increased healing from Holy Knight or Bishop.

[@Nitroglycerine]

well, yes. I really tried to narrow this video to focus purely on damage reduction, but it's true.

[@Davtwan]

This made things so much clearer. Cheers.

[@Nitroglycerine]

Glad it helped!

[@johnmorris8444]

Nice to see a mechanics video. Never understood why when I am facing an enemy with 854 hps and I hit him for 2102 dmg he lives with 486 hps. Hopefully this is addressed in the video. Keep up the good work!

[@Nitroglycerine]

nope, didn't cover that. But usually, the damage pop-up weirdly considers: - the damage that would go into the soldiers

[@orlandu2532]

It can be like this: Enemy with 854 hp, but he got both Hero and soilder alive. Say 400 hp Hero and 454 hp of soilder, 454 hp soilder presented as 5 soilder unit, each soilder got almost 100 hp. You hit him, your soilder can't finish his soilder, your hero then proceed to attack hit the 5 soilder very hard each hit like 300, but most of the dmg is overkill on each individual soilder. Result: you see big dmg but still can't finish off the enemy unit.

[@Dman1050]

I don't know why but I thought the damage reduction portion of rough sea was for both soldier and hero, as a while attacking buff. But no, I just tested it on a boss that had no soldiers, that a cherie could attack turn 1, with and without her accessory completing rough sea her soldiers took 3080 each time. This is making me reconsider enchants for physical attackers.

[@Nitroglycerine]

pretty interesting, isn't it? The biggest reason to use Rough sea is simply: a) you have the scrolls stocked up, whereas Full Moon & breeze tend to be in ridiculously high demand for PvP. b) Rough sea kicks in even when you hero is damaged, unlike full moon which requires you maintain 80% HP. It can be pretty useful for say... an SSR set of gear for Narm to do Ancient's Call, Hugin and Munin, so that she can have 80% damage reduction (40% LR, 30% ATK blessing, 10% rough sea). For example, I'm sitting on 33 rough sea SSR scrolls and 89 SR scrolls. But I don't have a single full moon or breeze scroll right now.

[@Zafersan]

great content as always nitro, very useful for ancients call

[@andrewzhang1217]

best video nitro made so far

[@P0werJack]

Hey nitro, nice breakdown but 2 things: 1 - If you have a chart of some sort for this topic or know where to find it would be great. 2 - Breeze activates for the unit as a whole so the troops are affected by the +movement, or else it would be rarely used.

[@Nitroglycerine]

Breeze's +2 mobility is an enchant buff, and thus it affects the whole unit. However, the Breeze enchant effect of +10% DMG only affects the hero. To my knowledge, nobody's created a chart of damage reduction breakdowns haha.

[@P0werJack]

@@Nitroglycerine Oh ok, thanks for the response.

[@CorvinoDan]

Ty for this. I didn't know training grounds was only for soldiers

[@jchen215]

Great videos! always love your stuff. so what's the best way to increase your HERO stats besides enchants and equipment? since training grounds only increase soldier stats. Thanks!

[@Nitroglycerine]

The other only ways are character bonds and character star levels.

[@jchen215]

@@Nitroglycerine Thanks!

[@SuperYoutubuser]

Really nicely arranged, just one question: if the 'reduced damage dealt' debuff on enemy adds up to your unit damage reduction, then does the 'increased damage dealt' buff on enemy break through the damage reduction? (Tiaris attack bless, king's crown, rough sea, etc) Or is it same logic as with skills, and the 'raw damage' is first amplified on the attacker, but can then be reduced to zero when it comes to damage reduction?

[@Nitroglycerine]

They help break the 100% damage reduction

[@igable82]

I understand last rights affecting hero only but I absolutely hate that it depends on the unit hp and not hero. Just why? I prefer something like Ledin's talent where it just looks at his hp.

[@Nitroglycerine]

Because Balance ;) Otherwise a full hp hero could likely survive any ATK even without soldiers?

[@igable82]

@@Nitroglycerine Some of the more popular methods I see to break Last Rites would still work, Rag Axe, Mirror Armor, aoe blast, or any kind of fixed dmg before battle. Still annoying for me. Oh well.

[@creamy_mami]

But after 1st 40 hp hit to hero, alte loses last rites effect, so it's not permanent

[@cchangg]

Just move a 6s Tiaris within 2 spaces before sending Alte off........

[@Nitroglycerine]

Or Olivier's regenerate skill as well. It is true it's not permanent in a lot of scenarios. Get hit by a magic attack and it's gone. But it is (more or less) permanent for, of importance, the Sleipnir fight of Ancient's Call. It's actually not even permanent for this fight, because the damage formula has an additional aspect to it that I didn't mention, which is why Sleipnir damage keeps scaling up ridiculously even if you manage to have 100% DR.

[@notoriousthief]

I think the one thing I haven't looked into is whether fixed damage will hit through damage reduction.

[@TheLaughingMax]

Fixed dmg goes through. I use freya a lot and her fixed dmg values do not change with dmg increase or dmg reduction

[@notoriousthief]

@@TheLaughingMax yea it slipped my mind since i used her fixed damage on the bozel challenge.

[@crazyprof5349]

damn that editing

[@Nitroglycerine]

yea, I tried quite a bit for this video. There were like 9 video clips that merged together, with the special editing effects of course. I'm going to be honest and say it's almost too much work to be worthwhile hahaha.

[@crazyprof5349]

@@Nitroglycerine for me as a viewer 100% Worth

[@cchangg]

On the subject of damage reduction, those range+1 weapons have 10% damage reduction, do they reduce fix-damage-type AOE, too?

[@Nitroglycerine]

You know, that's one thing I never tested. I honestly have no idea ^_^; I mean. I guess the way to test is with Freya: - See Freya's fixed DMG with a regular weapon, then see Freya's fixed DMG with clothesline pole equipped.

[@NamNguyen-xd8us]

u know nitro, its funny about royal calvary is, in the tranning tab, it said" 45% damage reduction", but if u go to hero --> Sodiers, it appears to be " 45% physical damage reduction??? WTF? so which one is working?

[@Nitroglycerine]

It is physical. Magic damage does full to royal cavs

[@cazimim3375]

You have a discord?

[@dengjoe86]

Can you do a how does fixed damage work

[@Nitroglycerine]

Hmm. Oh good point. I should explain that DMG number popup, shouldn't I? I can merge that with an AoE video...

[@IDESTROYER236]

Fixed damage is almost like non-reductable damage based on a hero's stat. Examples being Kirikaze (On crits) and Egbert.

[@Nitroglycerine]

@@IDESTROYER236 i am sure joe meant with regards to gear and such. Like which items work with AoEs and which dont.

[@bboygwapo6898]

Hi i just want to point out everytime . It is cavalry , not calvary haha anyways . Great content as always :)

[@Nitroglycerine]

I honestly cannot tell the difference when it comes to their pronounication. Spelling wise, I'm aware lol
