Wuthering Waves Damage Numbers Bugged or am I? Zhezhi Needs YOUR Help.

Sub for your time?
Easy Sub to Channel: / @vinsenneth
I've tried a lot of testing, and I'm not sure what the hell is happening. Numbers are inconsisten with Zhezhi for my testing and want to know if your experiences are the same. I had 2 ideas:
If you level up normal attacks does that scale UP with Zhezhi's coordinated attacks and Forte?
Does Jianxin's Outro Buff to Liberation Damage buff her coordinated attacks even though they're considered basic attack damage?
These 2 things have been giving me a hard time because of discrepancies I've been having between tests. The numbers just are not matching up with any of the buff numbers, or will sometimes go DOWN when I level something UP. I'm more than willing to admit that it's on me as I don't theorycraft, but I think I've done a decent job at at least trying to limit factors so I can get a base. If anyone can help explain, collaborate or even dispel my issues I would really appreciate it!
If you have any feedback, good or bad for me, let me know! Also any topics you would want me to cover?

BTW from what I've also tested too different resonators of vastly differnt power do not effect the coordinated attack damage as well. I tried this with my level 70 Changli with full echoes and a level 1 mortfei with no echoes. Coordinated attack damage was the same. So I don't think that's a thing either... One last thing too is that I know some enemies have resistances. I did test on a few both TDs and Exile grunts. They both were giving me numbers that didn't match and were continuously inconsistent.

1. Zhezhi's coordinated attack is scale up with her ultimate level and ATK stat even tho it is considered as basic atk dmg. 2. Zhezhi's Normal atk and Forte are only intended for sub dps option, and doesn't affect her coordinated atk dmg. 3. Enemies have different hidden elemental resistance than their obvious elemental resistance, that's why the dmg numbers sometimes became inconsistent.

I'm not sure if you saw, but I did a pin and edit to it where I forgot to add that I did indeed think about resistances. I even purposfully went to fight ice resistant things to see if numbers were gonna be as wonky and yeah they were... Between what I've tested I took that into account, and was still getting odd numbers. In fact I literally just logged on to do more testing, and I knew going in I was hitting base 155 per coordinated attack no echoes at lvl 71... I was hitting 136 all of a sudden...? Now as far as I know Jianxin doesn't give a 13.97% buff, and I didn't activate Zhezhi's passive either, and if I did it's stacking 6 up to 3, meaning it's off by a little since it should be a 12% bump not almost 14.

Huh, i never really looked at other cc numbers. They usually show, but its so hard to actually see how true that is... Interesting. I never thought that the numbers spat out by calcs may not match if they don't actually test it them selves. Not out of the question considering there can be some bugs here. Hopefully someone can corroborate stuff?

[@doedoel035]

I'm probably missing the mark here, or contributing a tiny bit, but I usually see the "BA/Heavy Attack/Skill/Ult damage" as something insignificant; they're far worse than getting flat ATK stats. I think in one of Maygi's video about flat ATK stats there's was a section where it shows those damage bonus contribute less to overall damage than flat ATK stat.

[@Vinsenneth]

I know exactly what video you're talking about. In the instance that I'm talking about here though... I literally have no echoes, and I'm seeing odd fluctuations of numbers. I'm not saying I don't trust her, or her calculators/calculations... But I'm getting the feeling that theorycrafters are just plugging in numbers to a scripts without testing to see if what Wuthering Waves itself is putting out is accurate or lining up with those theoretical numbers. I hope that made sense?

@@Vinsenneth Oh, now I get it. So you're using only base ATKs to calculate her damage and multipliers... Great idea. In that case, I'm stumped as well. Big respect to you for this o7
