Skill Add. Attack
Skill Add. Attack is the flat attack value built into attack skills. It is a flat damage increase that is reduced by the target's Defense after Penetration, then added to the hit before later damage reductions and final modifiers.
Skill icons show it as Add. Attack in game. Contrary to its name, it does not directly add to Attack or Magic Attack.
Example: A skill with 1000 Add. Attack against a completely defenseless target will result in about 1000 more damage per hit.

Notes and Tips
- Built Into Skills: Skill Add. Attack comes from the attack skill itself, not from gear.
- Reduced By Defense: It is affected by the target's Defense after Penetration.
- Poor Scaling: Due to very high damage values in late game, skills with less cast time should be preferred over those with high Skill Add. Attack.
