Stats and Attributes Guide

Understanding Loot of Baal stats is essential for progression, since it affects what equipment Mercenaries should use, how to build teams and how final damage is calculated.

Check out other Loot of Baal Guides for more info.

To view character attributes, open the system menu at the bottom-left and select Mercenary Info. Then click on a character in your team to see their detailed stats in the upper-right portion of the window.

Damage Formulas

Characters have two independent damage formulas depending on the skill type:

Weapon-Based Skills

Weapon-based skills rely entirely on weapon stats and skill multipliers. These skills typically do not list a base damage number in their description. For example, the skill Lightning Strike:

This skill does not provide fixed damage but instead scales with the weapon’s base stats plus the skill’s % damage bonus — a classic weapon-based skill.

• Weapon-based skills can trigger elemental damage.
• Each element is calculated separately against the target’s specific elemental resistances.

Some of these skills, like Berserker, increase damage by a fixed % per level (e.g. +8% per level). Skill scaling values are fixed.

Weapon Skill Damage Formula

Final Damage = (Main-hand Weapon Panel Damage + Off-hand Weapon Panel Damage / 2 + Non-Weapon Flat Damage) × (1 + Non-Weapon % Damage + Skill % Damage + Strength ÷ 100 × Strength Coefficient + Dexterity ÷ 100 × Dexterity Coefficient) × (1 − Target Damage Reduction) × (1 − Target Elemental Resistance)

Notes:

• Weapon Panel Damage = Weapon Base Damage × (1 + Weapon % Bonus) + Weapon Flat Damage Bonus
• Damage Reduction = Defense ÷ (Defense + 2000)
• Target Resistance is based on the skill's damage type
• If a Critical Hit occurs, final damage is multiplied by 2×

Spell-Based Skills

Spell skills typically have large flat damage values that increase with skill level (up to level 40). These values stack directly as the skill levels up.

Spell Limitations

• Cannot trigger life or mana leech
• Cannot trigger any on-hit or additional damage effects

Spell Skill Damage Formula

Final Damage = Skill Base Damage × (1 + Relevant Buffs) × (100 − Target Resistance) ÷ 10000
