'''Weapon Damage''' is a stat that increases [[Bullet Damage]], Light [[Melee Damage]], and Heavy Melee Damage.
'''Weapon Damage''' is a stat that determines the player's [[Bullet Damage]], and also increases their [[Melee Damage]]. Some [[abilities]] can deal Weapon Damage.

== 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>

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]].

{{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}} is an exception to the rule, additionally increasing his Base Bullet Damage based on his [[Spirit Power]] acquired through [[items]].


=== Spreadshots ===
=== 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.

{{HeroIcon|Drifter}} Is an exception to this, where the same amount of bullet damage is dealt to a target regardless of how many pellets hit per shot.

{{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.

== Weapon Damage Scaling ==
=== Melee Damage ===
Some abilities scale with Weapon Damage.
[[Melee Damage]] is considered a source of Weapon Damage and scales with the Weapon Damage stat by 50%. Items and abilities that trigger from "dealing weapon damage" or "weapon damage hits" (e.g. {{ItemIcon|Stalker}}, {{AbilityIcon|Card Trick}}, etc.) include Melee Damage. Some effects that specify "bullets", such as {{ItemIcon|Metal Skin}} and {{ItemIcon|Toxic Bullets}}, have no effect with Melee Damage, but others do (such as {{ItemIcon|Slowing Bullets}} and {{ItemIcon|Weighted Shots}}).


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.
In addition to Melee Resist gained from items, [[Damage Resistance#Bullet Resist|Bullet Resist]] affects all Weapon Damage, granting another source of resistance against Melee Damage. The only exception is {{HeroIcon|Venator}}'s innate Spirit-scaled Bullet Resist, although this is likely a bug.


== Weapon Damage Multiplier ==
== Combat Modifiers ==
This represents the percentage of damage acquired through shop items and golden statues. These bonuses are '''additive''' with each other.
=== 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%.
The formula for the total multiplier is:
<math>\text{Multiplier} = 1 + \text{Shop Bonuses} + \text{Statue Bonuses}</math>
 
(For example, if you have a 20% Shop Bonus and a 4% Statue Bonus, your multiplier is '''1.24'''.)
 
[[Golden Statue]]s can provide a permanent increase: +'''3%''' before 10 minutes, +'''4%''' before 30 minutes and +'''7%''' after 30 minutes.
 
== Shop Investment Scaling ==
All [[Weapon|weapon items]] provide an automatic increase in Weapon Damage based on the player's total soul investment in that category:


When aiming at an enemy hero, a dot on their health bar indicates the percentage of damage you will deal:

|-
|-
|{{Souls|3,200}}
| <span style="color:#6f6f6f">'''Transparent'''</span>
| +20%
| 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 + \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)
* {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' alt-fire
* {{HeroIcon|Yamato}}'s alt-fire
 
'''Crit Bonus Scale''' is a stat that modifies critical damage dealt by certain heroes.
{{#invoke:HeroDataArrays|heroCritTable}}
 
Abilities that can deal critical damage have different critical modifiers. This replaces the +65% multiplier of base weapons.

== 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.
