{{

Average damage is tested on small (e.g., Lowe) to medium targets (e.g., Wooden Doll) with realistic positioning.
Maximum damage for large-hitbox skills may be unattainable in-game and is estimated.
Timed buffs are included only if they alter skill function or appear in the tooltip; permanent boosts are always included.

Affected By Action Speed

The additional back attack damage is not a separate hit, and is instead added directly on top of the base damage percentage.
