=== Calculating Damage Reduction ===

Notice: While Valve has stated in the May 22nd patch that Damage Reduction stacks '''diminishingly''', this is not true. Damage Reduction still stacks '''additively'''. Unless there was a hidden patch note, it is safe to assume that this is a bug. This means that the current formula is:

Notice: While Valve has stated in the May 22nd patch that Damage Reduction stacks '''diminishingly'''<ref>{{Update link|May|22|2026}}</ref>, however, this is not true. Damage Reduction still stacks '''additively'''. Unless there was a hidden patch note, it is safe to assume that this is a bug. This means that the current formula is:

<s><math>\text{Damage Reduction} = (\text{DR}_1) + (\text{DR}_2) +...</math></s>

Line 47:

# {{HeroIcon|Mirage}} casts base {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}} on {{HeroIcon|Drifter}}, reducing his damage by '''20%''', decreasing his bullet damage from '''41''' to '''33''' (41 x 0.8 = 32.8, rounded up in game).

# {{HeroIcon|Mirage}} now afflicts {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} with {{AbilityIcon|Inhibitor}}, reducing his damage by another '''30%'''.

# {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} now deals '''23''' bullet damage (41 x 0.56 = 22.96, rounded ~~down~~ in game).

# {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} now deals '''23''' bullet damage (41 x 0.56 = 22.96, rounded up in game).

=== Calculating Total Amplification ===

Line 53:

<s><math>\text{Total Amplification} = (\text{Base Damage} \times \text{Total A}) \times \text{Total DR}</math></s>

'''Example:'''

# {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} deals a base gun damage of '''41'''.

# With {{AbilityIcon|Bloodscent}}, {{HeroIcon|Drifter}}'s gun damage is '''47''' with a '''15%''' increase.

# With base {{AbilityIcon|Bloodscent}}, {{HeroIcon|Drifter}}'s gun damage is '''47''' with a '''15%''' increase.

# {{HeroIcon|Mirage}} now afflicts {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} with {{AbilityIcon|Inhibitor}} and {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}}, reducing his damage by '''50%'''.

# {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} now deals '''24''' bullet damage.

# {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} now deals '''24''' bullet damage (47 x 0.5 = 23.5, rounded up in game)

Damage Reduction from self-inflicted sources ~~of damage~~ work the same as damage reduction does currently, they are '''additive'''. If you have {{ItemIcon|Golden Goose Egg}} {{ItemIcon|Cursed Relic}}, or {{ItemIcon|Cheat Death}} (active portion), they will add onto any other damage reduction you ~~have~~.

If you have {{ItemIcon|Golden Goose Egg}} {{ItemIcon|Cursed Relic}}, or {{ItemIcon|Cheat Death}} (active portion), they will add onto any other damage reduction debuffs you get afflicted by.

Notice: Additional Amplifications seem to interact weirdly with this formula, I assume it's wrong. Having the {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} on {{HeroIcon|Drifter}} alongside the debuffs from {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}} and {{AbilityIcon|Inhibitor}} ~~make~~ {{HeroIcon|Drifter}}'s bullet damage 33, which is actually a 42% decrease from the amplification, not 50%. Would appreciate if someone could check into this.
