The Keyboard Warrior Damage Skin is an option beloved by many as it was one of the original damage skins released early in the game's history. Many players have been excited to learn that a unit version of the damage skin has been made available in game as of the v266 update. However, the implementation of the unit damage skin has left much to be desired.

The localization of this damage skin from the Korean variant does not compensate for the fact that the damage skin was made to display Korean characters representing the units. The decimal "." used in the skin causes an unnecessary gap between the numbers, making them harder to read.

This damage skin should be updated to truncate the trailing decimal (show 11B instead of 11.2B for example).

Additionally, the original aesthetic of the single purple/pink color scheme on the skin should be preserved. The units should not be white and blue.

    Keyboard warrior has been my favorite dmg skin since its introduction pre 5th job during watching an video of Ryude Kaiser soloing CQueen.

    This damage skin should either:

    1. Be updated to truncate the trailing decimal (show 11B instead of 11.2B for example)
    2. Make use of the unit letters e.g. "11B 2M"


    The unit looks weird due to the decimal needing a whole key and making the number look wider with all the extra space. I think it would look a lot cleaner if it looked truncated. Turning 11.2B into 11B 200M (your abbreviation is incorrect) since the length of characters would fluctuate a lot and make it more noticeable in some cases such as when the number is too small to rounded by 100Ms so it just drops even though the number is still in the 10s of billions.

    EXAMPLE: 11B 200M >> 12B >> 10B 30M

    11B 200M
    12B
    10B 30M

    Depending on the rounding, scenario 2 could be even worse if you go from not having anything in millions or hundred millions places to suddenly having a number that fills up the hundred millions space.

    You're right, it's probably cleaner to just cut off the 100Ms
