[Math] ATK% vs DMG%, Explained

[@Maygi]

Hi everyone ! Sorry this was a bit late; I thought it'd be a quick topic to cover, it took me almost twice as long to edit than my previous videos! Also, I put together a calculator sheet on my DPS calculations spreadsheet, where you can input the stats on two pieces of gear and compare how good they are, based on your stats: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZrJokNh_0AF_9welc7Etz6K8jlpzi5bXpiWz-mQZa78/edit#gid=2055222127 Also, to clarify a few things / address a few oversights: Flat ATK actually has slightly higher value because it'll additionally benefit from any ATK% buffs your comp has. As such, the breakpoints for how much base ATK you need before ATK > Flat goes up by a variable amount depending on how many buffs you have - check my spreadsheet for accurate calculations! There are a few missing points I didn't make in the Crit section - first off, every 1% crit added is 0.5% dmg on average - but this is additive to a singular modifier! Refer to this table: prnt.sc/gpeQu1aFOWrJ Additionally, several high-level enemies in Vera have high critical resist, making the value of crit even lower. I've also heard some concerns about people worrying that some may take "ATK % is better than DMG %" at face value - remember, at a 1:1 scale, it's not! It's better (in general) to roll on for gear, but when comparing it from other sources, the outcome is likely different based on how much % of each you're comparing!

How much Crit % should I have for Crow's matrices to be better than Shiro's? I read somewhere that I shouldn't be using Crow's until I have 80% Crit :/

[@hollymolly518]

Firstly, Thanks for you hard work =) I got some question... Isn't Frigg only has 25% increase frost attack? I'm not sure if A6 is adding another 25% on top of 15%? or just increase to 25% also if you add metrics on frost team, it would easily reach the limit...

[@RoughHouseONG]

Maybe I am just blind, but where can I find the accurate calculation for the threshold of when ATK % > Flat in your spreadsheet? I was looking around, but couldn't find it.

Great explanation. Getting the gear with great sub stats is the most difficult part after the stat locker arrived in the game. Good luck to everyone on their gear hunt!

[@HelAyumi]

I agree with you.. the reason why I prefere to use elemental atk % instead of elemental damage % is because elemental damage % doesn't work on Lin, while if you use elemental atk % it will give Lin more damage, I tested both a 2.02% elemental damage and a 4.14% elemental atk and the elemental damage % does slightly more damage than the elemental atk % but if you have Lin it is better to use the elemental atk % imo

Just because I was curious I went and made a spreadsheet for all of the threshold values for if you roll 5 times into either Flat attack(s) or ATK %... Then made a simple calculator at the top so people could just see what they'd need for a given Flat attack vs ATK % because I realized people would probably not want to read through a huge table. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KkALOdt5igCa0-TtzQZAXn8vCZ3YiOTZJ0ll766EA-s/edit?usp=sharing Example: If you have a combined Flat attack of 1000 then the thresholds of your Attack (ignoring what is added by the piece(s) you're looking at of course) that ATK% would be: By # of rolls into the stat 0: 79365.08 1: 37037.04 2: 24154.59 3: 17921.15 4: 14245.01 5: 11820.33 Which means that for someone like me with over 15k in my attack stat I would need at least 4 rolls into ATK % to beat a 1000 Flat attack piece.

[@Bikaz]

Hey Maygi, I was wondering, could you make an updated guide about gear stat preferences comparing wether dmg%, atk% or flat atk rolls are better, especially at endgame/maxed stats/gear, since this guide is over 5 months old by now? I just got a penta roll on a reactor and just noticed how even that over 8% atk reactor is actually worse than the 800 combined flat attack, 2.XX atk% reactor I had (34,8XX atk on the 8% flame atk% reactor, but 34,9XX flame attack on the 800 flat attack reactor, and that before any additional buffs and matrice effects id gain in combat) and noticed that with multiple other pieces as well. Especially once buffed and matrices etc in effect, it just seems like atk% is really really bad compared to flat attack. However with damage rolls its not that easy to compare but I feel like it may be worth revisiting with the stats we can achieve. Also we have many new chars, matrices, gear and especially now titan gear. Also on the augmented gear I noticed, that the max upgrade you can achieve (the green/blueish number under the stat on the augment window) vary a lot, but I simply dont want to throw a lot of mats at the system to test it out. On the 8% reactor for example I only get about +1.3% as maximum upgrade, which is less than 1/4th of the total stat, on the other reactor its 539 +max 297 flat attack and 322 +max 359 flame attack. So its more than the base flame attack as a maximum upgrade and about 60% of the flat attack value as an upgrade. That just seems like once that thing would be maxed out, flat attack rolls value would sky rocket compared to atk%. Is there something I'm overlooking? Maybe the answer is even to aim for a good mix of both?

[@Maygi]

Flat ATK is buffed by ATK%, as mentioned in the pinned comment. If you check the gear calculator sheet in the spreadsheet, there are checkboxes to add certain attack buffs, and then you can evaluate the comparison between ATK roll value vs ATK% there by inputting your stats! On the topic of an updated guide, though, I'll probably look into making something for titan gear optimization at some point...

[@Jojobreack324]

Sadly there is a small mathematical error at 3:40. The damage % increase you get from additional crit chance is dependant on your current crit chance and has "diminishing returns". Going from 0% to 1% crit chance gives this 0.5% DMG increase, but going from 50% to 51% crit chance only gives 0.4% DMG increase. The correct formula for DMG% by critrate should be (((1-old_crit%-delta_crit%)+(old_crit%+delta_crit%)*crit_dmg) / ((1-old_crit%)+old_crit%*crit_dmg)) -1

[@Jojobreack324]

additionally mobs at lvl 80 have 30% crit resist. So the first 30% crit rate are 0% dmg increase. it might be worth looking into gloves and boots again. Sadly for volt players crits are essential for crow/samir and provide more than the simple 1.5 crit dmg multiplier.

[@Maygi]

Yeah, I'm aware of this! I updated the pinned comment a while ago with an updated table and notes about it~

[@victimryan4067]

i was very confused on this thank you and your voice is cute!

[@valkyrieregalia]

Attack % increase boosts are more future proofed I feel, even if early on the the flat ones are better. Don't the visors also have flat crit too btw? Flat crit vs. flat attack, flat crit should win out. Crit % is probably future proofed as well though since there seems to be an offset in your level to the flat crit you have that crit % would supercede. I'm not sure how quick we will power creep to such points though, especially on global. In CN, maybe it will occur a lot faster though.

[@merem6972]

Crit would've nice if there wasn't a crit resistance in mobs (30% in lv 70?)

[@valkyrieregalia]

@@merem6972 This in no way shape or form makes crit less worthwhile. Crit is easily the most important stat to get from gear as it's so limited. Flat attack has diminishing returns, while crit doesn't. Like, 7000 crit is far more impressive than like 2500 attack. Which, is what you'd be looking at comparatively for crit rolls vs. attack rolls on gloves and boots.

[@allenbroussard1451]

the goal is 5k crit on gloves and boots, 1200 elemental attack on helm/body/belt/vambrace, and attack % on engine and visor for best possible outcome.

[@MrPsychopathy]

I wonder if damage% is actually multiplicative or if it's additive within certain buckets and the buckets are multiplicative in the formula. Hard to tell because there's some variance between individual attacks, so you can't really test it easily. For instance, formula might be (elemental atk) * (1+ sum of atk% buffs) * (skills scaling) * (1+ sum of damage % buffs) * (1+ sum of elemental damage % buffs) * (1+sum of resistance reduction % debuffs)), where stacking a bunch of damage buffs isn't great, and you would rather have some atk% buffs, some damage % buffs and some resistance reduction debuffs for optimal damage. Or it could be (elemental atk) * (sum of atk% buffs) * (skills scaling) * (1+damage % buff A) * (1+ damage % buff B) ...etc * (1+elemental damage % buff A) * (1+elemental damage % buff B)...etc * (1+resistance reduction % debuff A)...etc, where you just want as many damage % buffs as possible and the single strongest atk% buff you can get. Genshin for instance used the first formula, and you were getting diminishing returns if you stacked just a bunch of elemental damage % buffs compared to spreading out between Damage %, elemental damage % and atk %. E.g. 250% elemental dmg would be less damage than 200% elemental damage and 50% attack.

[@arthurulfredyap8233]

[@grandmaster137]

You're perhaps the most informative content creator on ToF. I have a question about crit. Let's say I have 12K crit and 20K frost attack, and using Saki, Lin, Frigg. Would a gear with 2K crit and 800+ frost attack be better or worse than a gear having 2.8K crit? Thanks in advance.

[@Maygi]

Without even doing the math, I can tell you with confidence that the 800+ Frost attack is worth way more than the 800 Crit. Crit on boots/gloves is nice, but it's not THAT good! (I did the math anyway. The pure crit one is around 2/3 as good as the one with attack)

[@grandmaster137]

@@Maygi Thank you so much! I'm glad I saved the gloves and boots. I'm using the 2.8K crit version as everyone keeps telling me that crit is everything in this game, that always go crit gloves/boots. But with the crit resist in Vera mobs, I've been rethinking this.

[@xxlin_manxx_7009]

With Lyra upcoming I think something you should mention is also the fact that some characters have seperate scalings Like healing for example on lyra : you heal yourself for 15% of your atk on each punch that hits an enemy If you get a lot of damage% yes you get a little more damage but you are missing out on a considerable amount of healing That's why I personally like Lin's realm giving atk% instead of damage boost because that means it affects the healing lyra provides Also why I would argue Tsubasa trait may be overall a better trait to use for lyra dps as it's easier to keep up in comparison to Samir's trait due to lyra being a face tanker and gives atk% instead of damage boost

[@allenbroussard1451]

shiro's trait is superior in most cases for lyra. 26% attack up, 50% of the time. Some would say that averages to a 13% attack up, but in reality, your gonna be using that period its up to burst damage more than not.

[@kroos4010]

this is calculation on papper on field battle Atk% had more advantage on most situation cause usually average player only build 1 elements you ask why? Dmg Boost shine better to Atk% when you hit enemy with weakness elements other than that atk% shine more be with enemies with resist nor normal one you can't see much using cactus on Hota studio you need to compared it on live battle to see it by your own in conclution if you want to be Op on any situation using dmg boost% make sure you fight those with your elemental weakness

There's no difference between "final damage" and "elemental damage" %. The wording they use across the game is inconsistent, so it can pretty much mean anything (Couant is "final damage" and is additive, and most other sources of final damage/elemental damage are multiplicative).

[@ram_bayer]

Thankyou, I was wondering what exactly made the change from lins frost damage% to atk% so much worse. So it's going from a multiplicative buff into an additive buff, good to know this. Jeez and to think with all these insane nerfs from CN for balancing, they won't even give us a reasonable amount of advanced modules for gear. I am still 10 away from a full level 20 set (with my level 40 gloves) and the other modules aren't much better, and yet we're supposed to somehow be caught up with cn in 2 months who had pretty much maxed out gear by the time vera rolled around, and we're missing a bunch of characters. They are just shafting global by not giving us any reasonable amounts of materials, I mean seriously we still haven't gotten a re-run of nemisis yet.

[@blackvest]

Kinda confusing, so it's ATK%>FLAT ATK/ELE ATK>DMG%?

[@addminustraitor8514]

kinda yes if you have around 16500 attk currently, you need total of 280 flat attack (elem attk + general attk) for each roll to compare with attk%. so if you roll total of 900 flat attk, 3 roll on attk% are only better with 840 flat attk below. But when you reach 18000 attk and you roll total of 900 flat attk, 3 roll on attk% are around the same value as 900 flat attk. 3 roll on attk% also may come with flat attk so you need to minus it first to compare. Getting 900+ and above on flat is harder than to get 3 roll on attk%, so attk% is better since you got 2 roll that may go into flat attk and attk% is a fix value. Also 900+ flat attk to get with only with 3 roll is super rare. So I think a single roll of attk% is still a better roll than a high roll of flat attk.

[@thaitoan4760]

Does frigg trait have the “diminising return” thing because you only getting 2.4% atk at a time?

[@Kio_Kurashi]

"Frost ATK is boosted by 2.4% every 3 seconds upon entering combat. Stack up to 10 times. Lasts for 5 seconds. In addition, gain hyperbody and become immune to control effects in the Frost Domain." Since it's an additive you'll get the dimenishing returns, yes, but at full stacks you'd still have the same Frost ATK increase as you would if you'd just gotten 24% straight away. (Floats are the percent increase and then we add 1 for 100% since multipling a float less than 1 would give us less than our initial value.) 10,000 * (1 + (0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024 + 0.024)) = 12,400 10,000 * (1 + (0.24)) = 12,400 If it was DMG% instead you'd get: 10,000 * 1.24 = 12,400 Now hold on, that's the same value! Well that's because we're only looking at one increase source. Lets look at two examples of another set. One will have two 10% ATK buffs, and the other will have one ATK% and one DMG% of the same value: ATK%, ATK%: 10,000 * (1 + (0.1 + 0.1)) = 12,000 ATK%, DMG%: 10,000 * (1 + (0.1)) * 1.1 = 12,100 Heck! Let's double each set! Quad ATK%: 10,000 * (1 + (0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1)) = 14,000 Double Sets: 10,000 * (1 + (0.1 + 0.1)) * 1.1 * 1.1 = 14,520 The key thing to note is this is only in comparision to other equivalent DMG% options. All this diminishing returns stuff means is that if you _could_ get an equal DMG% then you'd value that higher than an equal ATK%. This is why Maygi went into the part about reaching 100% ATK increase being the start of the diminishing returns because only at that point, with our doubled ATK% over DMG% rate, do we actually start to see the diminishing returns.

[@archangel_sachiel550]

just one clarification, when you talk about flat vs % attack, you give values for flat better than %, but how much % did you use as comparison?

[@Maygi]

I used 1.44%, which is the static value of ATK % rolls! (there's no variance in ATK % rolls on gear)

[@Kio_Kurashi]

Those flat attack values are possible values within the upgrade range of both Attack and Elemental Attack. Since the ATK% upgrades are all 1.44% that's the value that was used. You can find it out the threshold for any given value by dividing the Flat attack by 0.0144. This will give you the amount of Total attack you'd reach before that Flat starts having less than the 1.44% in increase. I've screenshotted a table of every value from 93 to 312 rounded to the tenths place here: i.imgur.com/SJZHmre.png

[@Tilin2461]

So, thanks to the changes in global DMG % is useless, because with the buffs of cn that goes over 100% would be usefull I didn't understand the part where flat atk is better than atk % :(

[@Maygi]

There are thresholds of stats where rolls on Flat ATK are better than the 1.44% ATK roll on gear. The lower base ATK you have, the higher the relative value of Flat ATK!

[@Kio_Kurashi]

It's a matter of how much actual attack you'd get from 1.44% increase and how much attack you'd need to have before that % increase would be better. You can find out the result by taking the flat attack value and dividing it by 0.0144 which gives you the threshold value, or to put it another way at that threshold value you'd recieve that much effective attack so anything higher than that threshold is better for ATK%. Here's a table of all possible upgrade values (all ATK% upgrades are exactly 1.44% so we only have to factor that): i.imgur.com/SJZHmre.png You can essentially look at that table and find where your Attack stat is at to find out how much Flat attack you can accept. For example: Say I had 15,000 ATK. Anything less than 216 would be a worse roll than rolling ATK%. In the end though, ATK% will stick around longer as you gain base attack stats from other sources.

@@Maygi assuming max rolls of flat Atk x 5 vs. Atk% x 5 the breakpoint would be around 19000+ base atk?

[@jollus526]

So that means frigg trait is better than samir trait?

[@Maygi]

Nuuuu ! This video was talking about gear rolls, where ATK % rolls twice as high as DMG %, giving it more value. Samir trait is 20% DMG, and Frigg trait is up to 24% ATK. Samir is much better in this case in terms of damage, as Frigg gives a lot of ATK % herself to further dilute that attack value. However, the permanent CC immunity on Frigg isn't to be underestimated for how much more DPS it provides in practicality...

[@jollus526]

@@Maygi I see so for these gear pieces specifically we want atk% over dmg% until we have over 100% atk boosted

[@MRafas-ie9zh]

The flat attack table confused the heck out of me Shouldn't wording be "before flat attack > attack%"? i.e. for when you have 21667 attack, you need 312+ flat attack for it to give more attack then 1.44 attack %

[@Maygi]

I agree that this table is a bit wordy and unintuitive... but no, this is the intended order! The more total ATK you have, the less flat ATK is worth (relatively) in comparison to ATK %. However, one thing to note that I didn't mention on the video is that Flat ATK is also subject to ATK buffs itself, so the left column of that table should be "Flat ATK * your avg ATK buffs", raising the thresholds even higher for ATK% to be better. (do check out the gear calc spreadsheet for a dynamic calculator where you can select your buffs: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZrJokNh_0AF_9welc7Etz6K8jlpzi5bXpiWz-mQZa78/edit#gid=0 )

[@ultravolt1359]

I've heard that flat atk on gear will yield more CS (for higher suppressor rank) than atk%. Any thoughts on this oddity?

[@UEGPA1N]

% stats will never give any cs if they do its extremely tiny, with the exception of DMG BOOST %, to put it into perspective, I have combat engine with 7% frost attack where every roll rolled into attack % and once into resistance and the cs on that combat engine is 2000, I have a combat engine with 3.42% damage boost with 4100 cs, and another combat engine where every roll rolled into resistance % and it gives 765 cs, I hoped that this helped.

[@Tilin2461]

they forgot to add cs on the atk% lmao

[@Maygi]

It's probably because Flat ATK increases the value of all your elements, verses ATK % which is just one. And for some reason, CS uses some value of all your attack. As for why Crit % and DMG % give hugely inflated CS values... I have no clue. Spaghetti or pepega code perhaps?

[@Kio_Kurashi]

@@Maygi Flat _non elemental_ attack increase all of them, but that doesn't account for the CS increase we get from rolling flat elemental attack. They just didn't code in the values to give us CS, it's that simple.

[@allnamesbelongtous]

@@Maygi That is a wild guess but I feel like CS depends on roll position within bounds rather then absolute value. I.e. best roll would increase CS way more then worst roll regardless of two stats involved and exact values. Given 4+5 overall rolls on a gold piece it explains huge variation in CS.

From my testing with my ATK% / Bonus% [ without ATK% / Buff ] i got 21k ATK [ 24k with ATK% ] & i got try the value of +2,09% or +4,14% [ Bonus Value was better than ATK% ] depend en ATK Base & if you have some buff or Final Damage Bonus (i think) u already want some Bonus Damage% 😆

wait what ? damage % or attack % is better actually ? im kind of twisted

At a 1:1 scale, DMG % is better! But since gear rolls 2x as much ATK% as DMG%, rolling ATK% is more favorable, barring extreme scenarios~

I know this is out of content. But I need help with crit and atk for volt team. I feel like 12700 crit + 19700 volt atk better than 13100 crit + 19150 volt atk. Which one should I use for volt team with crow DPS. Just in case my team is crow A6, Lin A6, Nemesis A1. I also have 5.81 crit rate %

[@Maygi]

Almost certainly the Volt ATK one! Crow has a lot of crit in his kit already, and even aside from that, the small amount of crit rate pales in comparison to the raw ATK increase.
