ATK Buff

An ATK Buff, also known as Tarukaja, increases the target team's attack by 20%.

An ATK Buff+, also known as Tarukaja+, is similar to regular ATK Buff, but it instead increases the team's attack by 25%.

Mechanics[edit]

In a nutshell, damage is first calculated using the attacker's PATK or MATK stat, minus half of the enemy's PDEF or MDEF stat. This is then multiplied by the sum of ATK Buffs, ATK Debuffs, DEF Buffs, and DEF Debuffs. After that, the skill power, damage boosts, damage reductions, resistances, etc are applied to calculate the final damage. For more information, see the Damage Formula.

Buff state[edit]

A party's buff state essentially has 5 levels:

State	Effect
ATK Buff+	+25%
ATK Buff	+20%
Neutral	0%
ATK Debuff	-20%
ATK Debuff+	-25%

Incrementing/decrementing state[edit]

Receiving an ATK Buff+ will increase the state by 2 levels.
Receiving a regular ATK Buff will increase the state by 1 level, but cannot increase the state into the ATK Buff+ level.
Receiving a regular ATK Debuff will decrease the state by 1 level, but cannot decrease the state into the ATK Debuff+ level.
Receiving an ATK Debuff+ will decrease the state by 2 levels.

Interaction with itself[edit]

Buffs of the same type cannot stack (example: two regular ATK Buff do not stack) - the number shown in-game is the buff's remaining turn duration.

If the same buff is cast while it's already active, the new buff will replace the old one only if it would make the duration longer.

Interaction between normal and plus buffs[edit]

If a regular ATK Buff is active, and then an ATK Buff+ is received (or vice versa), then the new buff will overwrite the old buff, regardless of the remaining duration on either effect.

This means that casting an ATK Buff+ and then a regular ATK Buff will "downgrade" your buff state.

Duration Ticks[edit]

The turn duration for Buffs and Debuffs will tick down at the start of a turn belonging to the team that originally cast it.

For example, if your team set up an ATK Buff on itself, then the Buff's duration will tick down at the start of your next turn.
