What are the differences between % Damage and % Att? Which one is better to have?
Comments
Why is that?
I think because %attack goes into your range...while %Damage is like...also into your range but only to a certain extent...I know in Reboto its cuz of the passive which gives you 100% damage by default...
different formula to put it simpler
att is multiplicative
dmg is additive
Oo ok I see
So does that mean kanna and demon avengar link skill are bad??
Not if you have % att on your potentials
But those links are % damage
If I'm correct the kanna and DA links are a flat boost. They add 25% of your total range, to your range.
Oh ok, I guess it should be named % att but its called % damage in description of the link ty!
it's named properly, if it were % att it'd multiply your total range by 25%, but since it just adds 25% of your range into your range, it's proper.
The reason % att is better is because it's much rarer. Many skills give a character % damage, including many passives, buffs, link skills, and all the Reinforce hyper skills for attack, which just give % damage for that particular skill. You're less likely to have as large amounts of % attack as % damage, so the boost from adding % attack is much greater than adding the same amount of % damage (since potentials for both are generally the same value).
Additionally, % boss damage is the same as % damage, except that it only works on bosses, so they're additive together as well, so if you have quite a lot of boss damage, which is very possible considering boss damage potentials and set effects usually comes in 20%, 30%, 35%, and 40% flavors, on bosses, the impact a measly 12% or 13% damage at best would add is very small.
So the two biggest factors at play are the scarcity of % attack sources vs % damage sources, plus the large quantities of % boss damage available, which stack additively on top of % damage.
what??, i'm confused again lol so % damage link skill is still better than % damage right?
Ok I see, I will aim for % att then
% damage potentials only affects your damage per lines, link skills affect your base range, overall att is best choice
Ok got it, ty
%damage on weapon/secondary weapon/emblem is bad because it is additive with %boss damage, and %boss damage potential come in 20/30/35/40% potential while %damage only come in 3/6/9/12% potential.
%attack is better than %damage because majority of the skills and hyper add %damage, so %damage is already suffering from diminishing return, especially on Reboot where their beginner passive give a truckload of %damage.
%damage from link skill does the same thing as %damage from weapon/secondary/emblem potential.
No, it's no bad, just because you play reboot doesn't mean %boss is useless, there's still a formula, and unless you are a person who likes to train all the time, %boss will be better at some point, only focusing in %attack won't make you that strong, you still need some %boss.
Remember that %attack is good, but for someone who doesn't have much ATTACK it won't increase as much damage as %boss, or like this guy in the video who have a lot of %attack so it's better to have boss lines :
Also link skills are really usefull cause they don't occupy the potential lines, they might be %dmg, but they still are very usefull and strong.
so then unless u have potential? those two things are a waste to have entirely correct? i mean why is there atk% and dam%? why cant it just be one thing to do for skills, passives, linkskills, ect? and benefits the range ? seems like a broken system now. ._. because i still dont know which is better to get for higher damage and good range? in potential that is.

Demon Avenger and Kanna link skill are the best link skill to have because %att link skill doesn't exist.
