Bonus and Extra Damage Sources

Critical Hits and Critical Damage

It’s a no-brainer that the easiest source of extra damage is the Critical Hit Skill. At Rank 1, the skill provides an additional 150% damage for an effective 250% damage total.

The added 150% damage can be further increased by the following:

• Red Special Upgraded Weapons: Up to +74% on most weapons at Step 7
• Yvona Renown: Up to 10% at level 50
• Pet Houses: Up to 2% with a Stage 4 Cat Tower
• Homestead Sequel Figures: Currently up to 3%
• Homestead Figures: Currently up to 6%
• 2nd Titles: Currently up to 3% from permanent 2nd Titles
• Alban Knights Emblem: Up to 5% at Level 5
• Spirit Weapons: Up to 15% with level 5 Spirit Attunement
• Increased Critical Damage Set Effect: +7% while active

Critical Rate Limit

In addition to critical damage there are also some sources of critical hit rate modifiers that increase your final crit rate cap from the base 30%. While it’s not a direct damage increase like critical damage is on crit they make your crits far more likely to occur.

• Arcana: Up to 6% at Total Arcana Level 150
• Spirit Weapons: 5% with Spirit Unleashing Ultimate
• Nele Renown: +7.5% at Level 50 Renown

Bonus Damage Sources

Bonus Damage not only increases your damage but stacks with critical hit damage. It can be acquired from the following sources.

• Spirit Weapon - Analysis: +10% at level 5 when enemies are debuffed
• Spirit Weapon - Enrage: +10% when enemy HP < 30%
• Exploit Weakness Technique: +15% at level 10 while active
• Spirit Weapon Awakening (Any): +10% for 75 seconds

Extra Damage

Lastly, we have our indirect extra damage sources: Stardust Blast, Stardust Flare, and Redoubled Offensive

The Redoubled Offensive Technique which offers a +200% damage boost when it activates at level 10. It stacks with crit and bonus damage. The effective damage output is 300% when activated.

Stardust Blast is a support effect that does up to an added 45% damage of the triggering attack. It’s triggered by single target attacks. Like Redoubled Offensive it stacks with crit and bonus damage.

Stardust Flare is similar to Blast but instead does up to an additional 40% damage of the triggering attack. It’s activated by AOE attacks and like the others stacks with crit and bonus damage.

Extra Note: Flare and Blast’s effects can be further increased by the level of the Stardust itself by up to 1.2x at Rank 15 Stardust
