Damage
Damage is the main stat for breaking mountain health and creating value. It also feeds drop systems because damage dealt relative to mountain max HP contributes to ore and mithril progress.
| Affects | Mountain health, ore value, drop progress, den kills when applied to dens, and many timed checks. |
|---|---|
| Scales with | Crit Chance, Crit Multiplier, Attack Cooldown, Multishot, and target-specific modifiers. |
| Watch out | Damage that creates ore faster than Runners can haul it can still be wasted. |
