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 Status DamageCapUp.pngDMG 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 just below 13 million or 6.6 million depending on boss difficulty, but this can be lower for certain foes (e.g., the Campaign-Exclusive Quest is known to have a cap of 30,000).
