Detail

Shield Boomerang damage scales with status ATK (i.e. ATK derived from STR, DEX, and LUK), shield weight, and shield refine. Additionally, the defense reduction takes place earlier within the damage formula which results in a larger "per hit" sDEF mitigation.

dmg = skill_mod * shield_dmg skill_mod = 1 + 0.3 * shield_boomerang_lv shield_dmg = shield_atk * (1 - DEF_enemy / 100) - sDEF_enemy shield_atk = atk_f(str, dex, luk) + shield_weight + 4 * shield_refine # effective sDEF sDEF_enemy = (1 + 0.3 * shield_boomerang_lv) * sDEF_enemy
