About Reduce Damage+ Latent Awakenings

Recall that Reduce Damage+ Latent Tamadras were introduced as part of Version 14.1 update, and that it’s the reward for May Quest? Game8 have tested that the Damage reductions + give 2.5% damage reduction.

This post contains the calculations and evidence.

That’s this guy.

The experiment

Game8 (JP game site) did this test against a Keeper of Blue. Without the latent, the Keeper of Blue hits 16,879 damage.

Now with the new latent (Reduce Water Damage+), 16,457 damage is received.

Time to back calculate the number!

Known facts from above:

• No Latent: 16,879 damage
• With 1 Latent: 16,457 damage

If the latent were 3% damage reduction:

… Well, that’s not the right number. Now if it’s 2.5% damage reduction:

That number looks familiar — It’s the same number as expected!

With that we can conclude each Damage reductions + Latent is 2.5% damage reduction.
