Min Damage

Reduces damage variance for sword classes by increasing the minimum damage floor. Only affects non-critical hits from sword-based classes. Critical hits of sword based classes are unaffected!

Overview

Sword classes have natural damage variance of 80%-100% on non-critical hits. Min Damage increases the lower bound of this range, reducing the gap between minimum and maximum damage.

Base Variance: 80%-100% for sword classes

With Min Damage: Higher minimum percentage, same 100% maximum

Class Application

Affected Classes (sword-based):

• Blader (BL)
• Warrior (WA)
• Gladiator (GL)
• Force Blader (FB)
• Force Shielder (FS)

Not Affected:

• Magic classes (no variance)
• Critical hits (always 100%)

Sources

• Primary Source: Equipment via option slots, Pet

Practical Examples

Example 1: Basic DPS Impact for non critical hits

Scenario: Blader with 10,000 final damage per hit

• Without Min Damage: 8,000-10,000 damage range (20% variance)
• With 10% Min Damage: 9,000-10,000 damage range (10% variance)

DPS Improvement: Average damage increases from 9,000 to 9,500 (+5.6% DPS)

Result: More consistent damage output with 12.5% average DPS increase and 50% reduction in damage variance.

Notes and Tips

• Only non critical hits of sword classes have this damage variance.
• It is an outdated stat that barely has any sources in the game.
• Since all PvE builds are heavily crit focused, even for sword classes, it's not a very useful stat.
