What +1 % Damage is actually worth

Damage is truncated to a whole number after the scaling terms are summed, and rounded again after the global multiplier. A stat point that does not push a weapon past one of those steps changes its output by exactly nothing. Below, each weapon family was recomputed one point at a time from the shared baseline until its damage per second moved.

Showing 12 of the 75 weapon families this stat moves, hardest breakpoint first.

The last column averages across the first 10 points only, so it reads zero for a weapon whose first breakpoint sits beyond +10 — which is the point: those points buy nothing.

Largest return per point: Excalibur +3.81 DPS, Scythe +2.15 DPS, Gatling Laser +1.64 DPS.

What scales from % Damage

Confirmed No weapon lists this as a scaling key, and it still reaches every weapon: it is the one global multiplier applied after each weapon’s scaling terms have been summed and cast to a whole number.

Stated, with its confidence

% Damage mechanics

ConfirmedA run starts with 0 % Damage.
ConfirmedApplied as one multiplier after every scaling term has been summed and cast to a whole number. The product is rounded and clamped to at least 1, which is why small increases can round back to the same hit.
ConfirmedNo cap is applied in the general stat resolver.
ConfirmedCharacter effects, item effects and level-up upgrades all enter the same store, where the ordinary stat line adds. The resolved value is the raw total multiplied by one plus that stat’s gain percentage; it stays a fraction internally and the shop display truncates it.

Confidence words are the ones this site’s own model records. How these figures are calculated.

Metric boundary

What this site does not model for % Damage

Every figure on this page is expected primary-target damage per second before enemy armor, with all projectiles aimed at the primary target connecting. Enemy armor, later pierce or bounce targets, melee area targets, misses, overkill, burning, explosions and on-hit effects are outside it.
