1. What is the Damage Formula?

The damage formula in Genshin Impact calculates how much damage a character's attack will deal. It takes into account the character's base attack, the scaling percentage of the specific ability, and any damage bonuses from artifacts, weapons, or other sources.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the damage formula:

Where:

• \( Base\ ATK \) — Character's base attack value
• \( Scaling \) — Percentage scaling of the ability (as a percentage)
• \( DMG\ Bonuses \) — Total damage bonuses from all sources (as a percentage)

Explanation: The formula first calculates the base damage by multiplying base attack with the ability's scaling percentage, then amplifies this value by all damage bonuses.

3. Importance of Damage Calculation

Details: Understanding damage calculation helps players optimize their character builds, compare different weapons and artifacts, and make strategic decisions in combat.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your character's base attack, the ability's scaling percentage (as listed in the talent description), and the total damage bonuses from all sources. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What counts as Base ATK?
A: Base ATK is the sum of the character's innate attack and the primary attack stat of their equipped weapon.

Q2: How do I find my ability's scaling percentage?
A: Check the talent description in-game - it shows the percentage scaling for each ability level.

Q3: What damage bonuses should I include?
A: Include all relevant damage bonuses like elemental damage%, physical damage%, or normal/charged attack damage% depending on the ability.

Q4: Does this include critical hits?
A: No, this calculates base damage before critical hits. For critical damage, multiply the result by (1 + CRIT DMG%) when a crit occurs.

Q5: What about enemy defenses?
A: This shows your potential damage before enemy defenses and resistances are applied.
