Buffs — real values, per gear

The values are not the same on every gear

This trips up a lot of people: **the same skill name gives a different bonus

depending on your gear.** "Defense Up" on an M-Gear is worth half again what it is

worth on an A-Gear. These are the real numbers from the item table, level 1 to max:

BuffB-GearM-GearA-GearI-Gear
Defense Up1 → 10 %3.96 → 15.73 %0.96 → 10.73 %1.96 → 13.73 %
Evasion Up1 → 10 %1.96 → 13.73 %1.96 → 13.73 %3.96 → 14.73 %
Siege Defense9.80 → 24.71 %
Reduce Damage3 → 15 %

On the A-Gear the evasion line is named Evasion rather than Evasion Up. On the

B-Gear the seventh and last level of the evasion line is also named Evasion

it is the same skill line, not a separate buff.

Siege Defense is A-Gear only. Reduce Damage is B-Gear only, and it cuts shield

damage taken rather than raising a defense percentage.

M-Gear group buffs

The three Raging skills belong to the M-Gear, but they are cast on the whole

group — so every gear benefits from having an M-Gear around.

BuffLevelsEffect
Raging Fire1 → 9+10 % → +45 % damage
Raging Defense1 → 9+2.75 % → +24.71 % defense
Raging Evasion1 → 9+2.75 % → +24.71 % evasion

Everything stacks

Buffs add together rather than overriding each other. The server applies each one

with a plain addition, so a defense percentage from Defense Up, Raging Defense, a

Def. Charm and a formation all sum up.

Charms are equipment (+5.10 %) and formations are available to every gear

(+1.08 %), so they stack on top of your skills without competing for a slot.
