The cap to damage taken is applied after most other forms of damage reduction. For example, consider a special attack which deals 9,999,999 Dark damage to all allies:
If 95% DMG CutTaking 95% less DMG Damage Cut reducing damage taken for all elements. Warning! Does not work for Plain Damage! is in effect, the damage is reduced to 499,999 before being reduced to 10,000.
If ShieldNext ATK received will be ineffective for a fixed amount is in effect, the special attack first subtracts the damage absorbed by the shield before being reduced to 10,000.
If DMG MitigationDMG taken is lowered by a fixed amount is in effect, the damage is reduced to 10,000 and then reduced by the strength of the DMG Mitigation.
Additionally, if a form of Substitute (All-Ally)Receives all attacks in place of allies (Includes all-ally attacks) is in effect, the substituting character takes one attack for each party member, with each attack being reduced to 10,000. In a 4-man party, this results in a total of 40,000.
