I'm completely new to this game, but I've been trying to understand the mechanics of the game. I have a lot of questions, and it's hard to find answers for them in the wiki. But all of my questions are about how things are calculated in this game.

---

1.) How does stacking attack and defense buffs work? I have a Mikael with a defensive sphere, and when he executes his defensive abilities, how does the defensive buffs effect each other? Do all buffs just stack additively or multiplicatively or is it some complex form of that?

(Defense) * (LS * BB Buff * Spheres)

OR

(Defense) * (LS + BB Buff + Spheres)

---

2.) How does Guarding work? Does it decrease all damage by 50%? There was no tutorial and no guide on Guarding at all. When Mikael activates his guarding buff, does it buff the guard percentage or does it buff to decrease the damage taken?

(Base Guard DMG Reduction * BB Buff) * Damage Taken

OR

(Base Guard DMG Reduction * Damage Taken) * BB Buff

---

3.) How do spark buffs work? I have a Avani, and she has a passive spark buff. Does it boost the multiplier of spark damage or the base damage then spark?

((Damage) * (Spark Bonus)) * Spark Buff

OR

(Damage) * (Spark Bonus * Spark Buff)

---

4.) How do BB buffs work? I have a Zenia, and she has a passive BB buff. Is it buffing the overall damage of the BB or does it only buff the BB multiplier?

(Attack * BB Multiplier) * BB Buff

OR

(Attack) * (BB Multiplier * BB Buff)

I ask a lot of technical questions to try to get the best build of team. But thanks if anyone can help me answer these.

And people might think I'd probably enjoying the game less doing all this math, but I actually enjoy gaming like this. Lol
