Editing Weapon DamageGive feedback

'''Weapon Damage''' is a stat that increases [[Bullet Damage]] and [[Melee Damage]].
{{#ev:youtube|xGTD-bBA57M|360|description=Video explaining Weapon Damage}}

== Base Weapon Properties ==
=== Base Bullet Damage ===
Base Bullet Damage is the amount of damage your Hero deals with no items. This value is unique to each hero and increases automatically as you level up through [[Boons]].

=== Spreadshots ===
Spreadshots allow certain weapons to fire multiple bullets at once (such as shotguns or shurikens). In these cases, all calculation rules apply to every individual bullet.

=== Piercing shots ===
{{HeroIcon|Paige}}'s weapon's shots pierce through enemies and can hit multiple enemies per projectile, disappearing only when they hit a map surface. However, they do not deal headshot bonus damage, but can proc headshot items.

{{HeroIcon|Doorman}}'s weapon's shots also pierce enemies. Unlike Paige's, they can deal headshot damage but deal half damage to all enemies hit after the first.

=== Melee damage ===
[[Melee Damage]] scales with Weapon Damage by 50%.

== Combat Modifiers ==
=== Damage Falloff ===
Damage Falloff reduces damage based on distance. All heroes have a Falloff Range in which damage is linearly reduced from 100% to 10%.

When aiming at an enemy hero, a dot on their health bar indicates the percentage of damage you will deal:
{| class="wikitable"
! Dot Color
! Damage Percentage
|-
| <span style="color:#fe6160">'''Red'''</span>
| 10% - 20%
|-
| <span style="color:#feab44">'''Orange'''</span>
| 20% - 35%
|-
| <span style="color:#f9f926">'''Yellow'''</span>
| 35% - 75%
|-
| <span style="color:#6f6f6f">'''Transparent'''</span>
| 75% - 100%
|}

=== Crit Multiplier ===
Aiming for the head deals increased damage. [[Troopers]], [[Guardians]], and [[Heroes]] have a weakpoint hitbox that receives '''1.65x''' bullet damage when hit.

<math>\text{Crit Multiplier} = 1 + 0.65 \times \text{Crit Bonus Scale} \times \text{Crit Resist}</math>

The following heroes cannot deal critical damage:
* {{HeroIcon|Graves}}
* {{HeroIcon|Paige}} (though she can proc headshot item effects)

'''Crit Bonus Scale''' is a stat that modifies critical damage for certain heroes.
{{#invoke:HeroDataArrays|heroCritTable}}

== Target Modifiers ==
=== Bullet Resistance ===
{{Main|Damage Resistance}}
Incoming damage is reduced by the target's '''Bullet Resist''' and increased by the attacker's '''Bullet Resist Reduction'''. These stats stack multiplicatively. For a detailed breakdown on how multiple items stack, see the main page.

=== Increased Bullet Damage ===
Increased Bullet Damage is a debuff inflicted on enemies. It multiplies the total amount of damage they take from you. Because this is applied at the end of the calculation, it also increases the effectiveness of your Flat Weapon Damage.

== Flat Weapon Damage ==
Flat Weapon Damage is an extra amount of damage obtained through certain hero abilities. 

'''Flat Weapon Damage is not increased by your "Weapon Damage %" multiplier.''' It is an additive source added to your total ''after'' the percentage multiplier is applied to your base. However, it is still affected by Damage Falloff, Bullet Resist, and Crit Multipliers.

== Weapon Damage Formula ==
The final damage dealt by a bullet is determined by multiplying your base stats, your item bonuses, and various situational modifiers.

<math>\text{Final Damage} = [(\text{Base Damage} \times \text{Weapon Damage Multiplier}) + \text{Flat Bonus}] \times \text{Falloff} \times \text{Resistances} \times \text{Crit Multiplier}</math>

== Weapon Damage Scaling ==
Some abilities scale with Weapon Damage.

For most Weapon Damage scaling abilities, they only scale based on the "Bonus Weapon Damage" stat, which is granted by items and Weapon shop investments (see list below). This includes abilities such as {{HeroIcon|Venator}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Consecrating Grenade}}, {{AbilityIcon|Gutshot}} and {{AbilityIcon|Ira Domini}}. {{HeroIcon|Paradox}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}} is an exception, since it scales with her Base Weapon Damage (counting as a full burst shot), and thus increases with [[Boon|Boons]]. [[Melee Damage]] scaling abilities also scale with Weapon Damage, since Melee Damage scales with Weapon Damage (by 50%).

== Sources ==
All [[Weapon|weapon items]] provide an automatic increase in Weapon Damage based on the player's total soul investment in that category:

{| class="wikitable"
!Souls invested
!Weapon Damage Increase
|-
|{{Souls|800}}
| +7%
|-
|{{Souls|1,600}}
| +9%
|-
|{{Souls|2,400}}
| +13%
|-
|{{Souls|3,200}}
| +20%
|-
|{{Souls|4,800}} [[File:Star.png|15px]]
| '''+49%'''
|-
|{{Souls|7,200}}
| +60%
|-
|{{Souls|9,600}}
| +80%
|-
|{{Souls|16,000}}
| +95%
|-
|{{Souls|22,400}}
| +115%
|-
|{{Souls|28,800}}
| +135%
|}

The following items grant increased weapon damage:
{{Item stat table|Weapon Damage}}

* {{ItemIcon|Headshot Booster}} deals +{{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|Headshot Booster|HeadShotBonusDamage}} bonus Weapon Damage with headshots.
* {{ItemIcon|Monster Rounds}} increases Weapon Damage against NPCs by +{{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|Monster Rounds|NonPlayerBonusWeaponPower}}.
* {{ItemIcon|Berserker}} increases Weapon Damage by +{{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|Berserker|WeaponPowerPerStack}} per [[stack]] for sustaining damage.
* {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}} additionally deals +{{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|Headhunter|HeadShotBonusDamage}} bonus Weapon Damage with headshots.
* {{ItemIcon|Intensifying Magazine}} increases Weapon Damage to a maximum of {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|Intensifying Magazine|BaseAttackDamagePercentAtMaxDuration}} after continuously firing.
* {{ItemIcon|Opening Rounds}} increases Weapon Damage by +{{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|Opening Rounds|BaseAttackDamagePercentBonus}} against enemies above {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|Opening Rounds|EnemyLifeThreshold}}% health.
