@Kaenguru Were you talking about that post maybe:
Do Elemental Defense Debuffs and Regular Defense Debuffs Stack? Why use them together? For instance, Grimm, Tiburtus, Gormek, Buddy or Wilbur with Guardian Jackal, Falcon, Panther, Arthur, Frida, Nordri, or Evelyn. [MASTER]
To the best of our knowledge, the debuffs stack multiplicatively.
Example: You take Grimm (34% general defense reduction) and Jackal (-54% Holy defense reduction). The target’s effective defense is (1 - 0.34)*(1 - 0.54) = 30%, or a 70% defense reduction.
Remember that this goes into the damage calculation inside the exponent. The general formula says expected damage is proportional to (Attack / Defense) ^ 1.35. So a 70% reduction in effective defense basically quintuples the per-tile damage.
This multiplier is damped down by an unquantified but confirmed tempering of the damage as the ratio of attack to defense gets very high. You probably won’t see the tempering much unless you have big stacks of the color.
I was researching this in the forum, and came across this post which @Guvnor recently quoted in another thread. If that was what you were refering to, than there is no actual cap…
I was thinking if I actually should level up my Cheshire Cat for titans (instead of Tibs). If there was a cap, it shouldn’t make a difference…
@yelnats_24 might be interested as well!?
