Magic Attack
The foundation stat for magic-based classes (Wizard, Dark Mage, Force Archer, Force Gunner). Magic Attack serves as the base in the damage calculation pipeline, working together with All Attack Up and skill-specific magic attack bonuses to determine your effective magic attack power.
Overview
Magic Attack is the starting point for all magical damage calculations. The game determines your Effective Magic Attack by combining:
- Base Magic Attack
- All Attack Up
- Skill Magic Attack Bonus (additional magic attack from the specific skill being used)
This effective magic attack value then gets amplified by your total skill amplification and processed through the damage calculation.
Typical Values
Please Note: These values can be increased further with various temporary buffs
- Early Game: 1,000-3,000
- Mid Game: 3,000-6000
- End Game: 6000+
- Maximum Practical: No hard cap, but balance with other damage stats for optimal efficiency
Understanding Effective Magic Attack
Effective Magic Attack = Base Magic Attack + All Attack Up + Skill Magic Attack Bonus
Example:
- Base Magic Attack: 5,000
- All Attack Up: 1,500
- Skill Magic Attack Bonus: 800 (varies per skill)
- Effective Magic Attack: 7,300
Sources
- Primary Source: Weapons and their upgrades (Divine/Extreme)
- Secondary Sources: a large number of progression systems offer Magic Attack/All Attack boosts
- Temporary Boosts: GM Buffs, potions, other Buffs (like Platinum buff, etc.)
Notes and Tips
- Weapon upgrades provide the most significant Magic Attack increases
- Each skill provides its own magic attack bonus that varies by skill level and type
- No variance: Magic damage always deals the exact calculated amount (unlike sword damage)
PvE and PvP Variants
Magic Attack has specialized variants that provide additional damage in specific content:
- PvE Magic Attack: Bonus magic damage against monsters and NPCs
- PvP Magic Attack: Bonus magic damage against other players
How it works:
- PvE Content: Your total magic attack = Base Magic Attack + PvE Magic Attack
- PvP Content: Your total magic attack = Base Magic Attack + PvP Magic Attack
These variants stack additively with your base Magic Attack, giving you higher damage output in their respective content types.
