=== About Physical Damage Modifiers for Gale WH Build ===

The general aim of the min-maxing process (as of Date: 28/Aug/2025) is to equalize these damage modifiers while maximizing their overall multiplicative result. You should be aware of diminishing returns as you adds up a single damage modifier. The contextual reason of the importance on this matter is because of the aforementioned '''One Hit''' (OH) Objective, that we want each hit of our Gale Storm damage to be as high as possible (to be clear it is the '''single instance of the damage''', not the DPS).

* '''Class%:''' Hardest and most expensive to get, generally speaking. You will have 30%-85%. Main Sources: {{#item:300533}}, {{#item:4602}} combo, {{#item:4529}}, {{#item:300473}}, Demigod Set, HoL accesories and enchantments, Abysmal Knight Pet.

* '''Enemy_Element%:''' Rare modifier mostly seen on more modern iterations of items (post 2016), but is less expensive than Class%. You will have around 40%-130%. Main Sources: {{#item:27126}}-like MVP cards on body slot, Maximum Mammoth Shadow gears, HoL garment 2nd slot enchant, Varmundt Boots 2nd slot enchant, Dimensions/Time Gap Weapons 3rd slot enchant, Jitterbug combo and proc.

* '''Skill%:''' Quite hard to get as the source is only from TDRC and Dimensions/Time Gap Weapons for Gale Storm skill and is already mandatory. You will have 35%-95%.

* '''Enemy_Race%:''' Not very rare but getting the right ones could be costly. You will easily have 70%-200%. Main Sources: {{#item:27126}}-like MVP cards on body slot, HoL accessories and enchantments, various equipment.

* '''Enemy_Size%:''' Easy to get and cheap. You will have 45%-170%. Main Sources: Cards on Weapon slots, TDRC, Shadow Gears.  

* '''Res_Ignore%:''' Only '''relevant''' source for now is the Fatal Master Shadow Gears for 20%. The effect is only roughly 5-10% pure damage increase, though it is nice, because it is outside all other modifier calculations.

* '''Critical%''': and other '''critical related modifier''' like C.RATE: You will have around 300-550% critical% and 80-140 C.RATE. Main Sources: various for Critical%, Shadow Gear Enchantments for C.RATE

* Other '''non-critical related modifiers''' like POW, P.ATK. Main Sources: Shadow Gear enchantments, Varmundt boots/garment 3rd slot enchantments, {{#item:300533}}

* '''Range%:''': We already have a lot thanks to Calamity Gale/Unlimit, so adding on this is generally redundant. You will have above 350%, around 450-550% or above.

 

Trivia:

* '''ATK%''': this is useless tier damage modifier and should just be ignored for physical build (different case with MATK% of the magical build) unless someone can prove me wrong. Also was tested but not thorough (and I already yeeted the 10% ATK% gambler's seal I'm so sorry)

 

Recommended gears (as of Date: 28/Aug/2025):

| align="center" | +12 to +15 [A] {{#item:400539}}

*{{#item:300363}}

*Enchanted with {{#item:312753}}, {{#item:312712}}.

*The reason we don't use {{#item:312700}} is because we dont need '''acd%''' for this build. Instead you just swap out for {{#item:400723}}(BiS for CB Build).

*{{#item:4529}}

*{{#item:300363}}

*{{#item:4198}}

**Critical Atttack +8-10%

**Long Range Atttack +8-10%

**MaxHP +8-10% (Experimental), the reason is sometimes additional HP is simply better when you already have saturated every other damage source modifiers.

| align="center" | {{#item:420220}} (BiS) <br> and/or <br> {{#item:420269}} (Experimental)

**'''1st line''': DEX +5

*or any other cheap Bio5 MVP card e.g. {{#item:4677}}

*Enchanted with {{#item:313023}}, {{#item:312538}}, and {{#item:312479}}.

| align="center" | +12 [A] {{#item:470174}} <br> and/or <br> +12 [A] {{#item:470175 }} and/or <br> +12 [A] {{#item:470197}}(Experimental)

*{{#item:300177}}

*{{#item:300380}}   

*{{#item:300280}}

*{{#item:27383}}  

*{{#item:300511}}

*{{#item:300516}}  

*'''Midnight Archi Card''' or '''Piloted Midrange Rgan Card''' will serve as your general all-purpose card while the episode 21 racial/element cards will be for targeting specific MVPs/maps.

*The reason I did not list {{#item:470260}} or {{#item:470303}} is because it doesn't contain '''Enemy_Element%''' (more details on previous part), so I still value it less than our Varmundt Boots. Note that the mats are cheap nowadays, so resetting the 2nd slot enchantment is not as daunting as it used to be.

*Dim glacier boots are only to be paired with jitterbug combo proc. The reason is the overwhelming '''Enemy_Element%''' from the proc, so with '''Dim Glacier Boots''' you fill the '''Enemy_race%''' modifier instead.

*{{#item:300278}}  

*{{#item:4084}}  

*Enchanted with {{#item:313033}},   

**{{#item:310701}} and {{#item:310701}}(BiS) or

**{{#item:310706}} and {{#item:310706}}.

*{{#item:4084}}  

*{{#item:300471}}(Experimental)

*Enchanted with {{#item:313006}} and {{#item:312981}}.

*Pets: {{#item:9132}} or {{#item:9193}}  

**Double Maximum Mammoth combo: very strong if not BiS, theoritically explained by the 12% gain in Enemy_Element% modifier. Only wear double with {{#item:4399}} otherwise just wear one pair.

**Needing full penetration/infinity otherwise wear {{#item:4399}} for 100% def pierce and {{#item:24386}} or {{#item:24733}} or {{#item:9193}} for ignore weapon size

**Otherwise double +10/+10 Bow/Fatal/Sword Master Shadow Gears is not bad, however it will lock you into using {{#item:9193}}. There's also possibility of using one set of +10 Bow/Fatal/Sword Master Shadow Gears and {{#item:27294}}(Experimental) and then the rest of the shadow gear will be a pair of Maximum Mammoth

**With {{#item:4399}} use +10/+7 Bow/Fatal/Sword Master Shadow Gears instead so the 50% def pierce won't trigger

*Currently not-haves list on this part: {{#item:300377}},{{#item:27126}},{{#item:4408}},{{#item:300007}},{{#item:300021}},{{#item:300445}},{{#item:300280}}
