Elemental Mitigation

Elemental Mitigation (also known as Elemental Damage Reduction) is a type of mitigation separate from Regular Damage Mitigation which reduces the damage taken from enemy attacks of the specified element.

The user buffed with Elemental Mitigation must be taking damage of the enemy’s original element to utilize Elemental Mitigation. Units taking damage from enemies that have elements added to attack will not utilize Elemental Mitigation.

Rules with Mitigation Stacking

 * All types of passive mitigation stack additively with each other, but passive mitigation caps at 50%.
 * Conditional mitigation counts as passive mitigation.
 * Using Sacred Purpose Lukroar and Pious Emperor Alza Masta as Squad Leaders while fulfilling Alza Masta’s conditions for 20% damage reduction will result in 50% passive mitigation; however, using Celestial Shield on a unit will not increase its passive mitigation due to achieving the 50% passive mitigation cap.
 * All types of buffed mitigation stack multiplicatively with each other. There is no cap to buffed mitigation.
 * Using Umbra Halcyon Magress’s 50% damage reduction buff with Infinity Starsage Zeruiah’s 10% elemental mitigation will result in 55% buffed mitigation.
 * Passive mitigation and buffed mitigation are additive with each other.
 * BB/SBB is considered one category and thus, mitigation buffs coming from BB and SBB will not stack with each other.
 * This can stack with UBB and DBB mitigation, however.
 * Elemental Mitigation cannot be pierced.

Mitigation Formula
Total Mitigation = Passive Mitigation + Buffed Mitigation

Passive Mitigation = Leader Skill 1 + Leader Skill 2 + Extra Skill + Sphere + SP Enhancement

Buffed Mitigation = 1.0 - (1.0 * (1.0 - BB/SBB) * (1.0 - UBB) * (1.0 - DBB))
