This article is about the damage cap of various battle actions. For the status effects and weapon skills, see Damage Cap Up.

The damage cap is an upper limit on how much damage can be dealt in various circumstances. It is not necessarily a final limit—damage values seem to fluctuate around the soft cap rather than hitting a specific value ceiling, but they cannot significantly surpass it without effects that specifically raise the soft damage cap. Normal attack, charge attacks, and skills have various soft caps based on the source. Damage cap values can be found on this page in the sections below.

There are various ways to temporarily increase the damage cap, such as with the DMG Cap UpMaximum amount of DMG that can be dealt per hit is boosted
 buff or with weapon skills. Assassin buffs are notable for increasing ATK while also significantly increasing normal attack damage.

Some weapon skills and support skills (most notably Seraphic Weapons) can also raise the damage cap if conditions are met. Conversely, enemies with elemental resistances such as Xeno Showdown bosses take a lower damage cap (up to 50% less) for any element other than their weakness.

Besides the damage cap described above, there is a hard cap where damage will no longer increase even when utilizing buffs and debuffs. In general, this point is 13.1 million or 6.6 million depending on the battle, but this can be lower for certain foes (e.g., the Campaign-Exclusive Quest is known to have a cap of 30,000).

Skill Damage Cap

  • Skill damage is attenuated in the same way as Normal Attack, Charge Attack and Chain Burst Damage however the threshold is specific to each skill and its level of upgrade when applicable.
  • All skills possess four thresholds which can be further boosted by Weapon Skills, character and class Extended Mastery Perks, Over Mastery Bonuses, Qilin's Aura, certain characters' Support Skills, and buffs such as Skill DMG Cap UpMaximum amount of skill DMG that can be dealt per hit is boosted
     and Skill DMG Cap Up (Stackable)Maximum amount of skill DMG that can be dealt per hit is boosted (Stackable)
    .
  • Although the first three thresholds and reductions vary per skill, all skills share a 99% reduction in outgoing damage at the fourth threshold.

The following are two examples:

Skill Damage Additional Attenuation

  • Unlike Normal Attack, Charge Attack and Chain Burst Damage, Skill Damage is subject to another attenuation if the damage, after the reductions listed above, meets a certain threshold.[5][6] This value is dependent on the damage multiplier of the skill itself. However, buffs such as Skill DMG UpSkill DMG is boosted
     which change the damage multiplier will not change the threshold. Skills with multipliers of 601% or higher are exempt from this additional attenuation.
  • If the damage exceeds Threshold 1, any damage between Threshold 1 and 2 will be reduced by 80%.
  • If the damage exceeds Threshold 2, any damage past Threshold 2 will be reduced by 99.9%.

Final damage will not exceed this value significantly.
