1. What is the Damage Formula?

The Genshin Impact damage formula calculates expected damage based on your character's attack, skill multiplier, and critical hit statistics. It helps optimize your character's build for maximum damage output.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the damage formula:

Where:

• \( Atk \) — Character's total attack value
• \( Skill\ Multiplier \) — Talent's damage percentage (as decimal)
• \( Crit\ Rate \) — Chance to deal critical hit (0-1)
• \( Crit\ Damage \) — Bonus damage on critical hits (as decimal)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both normal hits and critical hits, weighted by your critical hit chance.

3. Importance of Damage Calculation

Details: Understanding damage calculation helps optimize character builds, compare artifact sets, and make informed decisions about stat priorities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your character's total attack, the skill's damage percentage (as decimal), your crit rate (0-1), and crit damage (as decimal). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where do I find skill multipliers?
A: Skill multipliers can be found in-game in the talent descriptions or on community databases like Honey Impact.

Q2: How do I convert percentages to decimals?
A: Divide the percentage by 100. For example, 150% becomes 1.5, 56.7% becomes 0.567.

Q3: Does this account for enemy defense?
A: No, this calculates raw damage before enemy defense/resistance reductions.

Q4: What's a good crit rate to crit damage ratio?
A: The commonly recommended ratio is 1:2 (e.g., 50% crit rate to 100% crit damage).

Q5: Does this work for all damage types?
A: This works for most standard attacks and skills, but some abilities have special scaling.
