=== Damage Reduction Stacking === | === Damage Reduction Stacking === | ||
Valve's May 22 patch notes state that Damage Reduction debuffs are intended to stack diminishingly (i.e., multiplicatively, in the same manner as Resistance)<ref>{{Update link|May|22|2026}}</ref>. | |||
However, live testing confirms that standard Damage Reduction debuffs have not been fully migrated to this new system. Currently, Damage Reductions (such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} or {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}}) simply act as negative Additive Amps. This means they add directly together with other additive amps (positive or negative) rather than multiplying against each other. | |||

* [[True Damage|Pure damage]] from abilities such as {{AbilityIcon|Ira Domini}} is affected by Additive Amps and Reductions, but not multiplicative ones. | |||
