Ignore DMG Reduction

Ignore DMG Reduction is an offensive stat that offsets flat DMG Reduction on the target. Because it acts as a flat value rather than a percentage, it is often compared to Add. Dmg in practical damage testing.

If Ignore DMG Reduction exceeds the target's remaining flat DMG Reduction, the excess is not treated as wasted. Instead, it continues as raw damage through the same flat-damage step before later modifiers are applied.

Example: 10,000 Ignore DMG Reduction can behave much like 10,000 extra damage, even against a target that has no flat DMG Reduction left to cancel out.

Because that flat-damage step happens before Final DMG Increased, the extra damage from excess Ignore DMG Reduction is also increased by Final DMG Increased.

Notes and Tips

• Excess Still Applies: If your Ignore DMG Reduction exceeds the target's flat reduction, the overage still has an effect rather than being wasted
• Works similar to Add. Dmg: when Ignore DMG Reduction exceeds the target's flat reduction, it behaves similarly to Add. Dmg
