=== The Damage Formula ===

Based on testing, the generalized formula for how these amps apply to weapon damage is as follows:

<math>\text{Damage} = [(\text{Base Bullet Damage} \times \text{Weapon Multiplier}) \times (1 + \text{Total Additive Amps}) + \text{Flat Bonus}] \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_1 \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_2 \dots \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_1 \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_2</math>

'''Example:''' 

# A hero has a base bullet damage of '''100''' and '''0''' flat weapon damage for simplicity.
# The hero is affected by {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} (an Additive Damage Reduction of '''-30%'''). Their damage drops to '''70''' (100 * 0.70 = 70).
# {{HeroIcon|Ivy}} casts {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} on the hero (an Additive Amp of '''+20%'''). The additive pool is now -30% + 20% = -10%. The hero deals '''90''' damage (100 * 0.90 = 90).
# The hero parries an enemy hero (Multiplicative Amp of '''+25%''' against parried target''')'''. This is applied after the additive pool. The hero now deals '''112.5''' damage (90 * 1.25 = 112.5).
