Game Design Element Def Negative % With Negative Raw

As we know that each element is weak to some other elements
there is elemental def debuff on some armor against its weakness
e.g. Water with -ve thunder def
but when -ve raw def faced against -ve % def
it actually increased that def

maybe we should not put
-ve % [element] on -ve [element] raw def

 

wat

 

e.g. -100 raw thunder def with - 50% thunder was meant to worsen ur thunder def
but instead
-100 * ( 1 + (-50%) ) = -50 thunder def
it actually increases your thunder def
which is minizing your negative def

 

So, Jumla just needs to reverse the sign of % elemental def when the Raw part is negative.

@motoki1 so I figured out a formula that could help with the situation
TotalElementalDef = RawDef [1 + |PercentDef| (PercentDef /RawDef * |RawDef/PercentDef|) ]
here's some example of how this equation demonstrates
152%


-100%



46%



0% GRAPH BROKE CUZ X/0 FUCK ME

-70%



-154%


@Selvut283 u may want to take a look

 

Nice, now do that with Java code.

 

It would be much easier with shit like if methods to test negative negative relationship instead of using absolute value test
Don't hurt me I don't know coding

 

Wait so if you use the gambler...

 

nah gambler has super high raw
double gambler is 400 on raw and guaranteen over -100% def
that makes it way lower than -400

 

I mean like using everything you can to lower your elemental defense as low as possible. And using only one gamber.

 

that would be less effective than just building normal tank

 

Shhhh
Who cares about effectiveness. The point is it's there amd possible

 

true maybe

 

And this is why mind rot and shatterglass are overpowered in our current meta despite no one using them.

 

English please

 

If you have -% elemtal defences and negative defences your defences will be increased because of the -% being multiplied by a -number eg. -10% of -50 = +5 therefore you would have -45 instead of -55 in that element, then there's just possible solutions

________________________________

Just use an if statement which checks if both are negative:
if (rawDef < 0 && percentageDef < 0){
TotalDef = RawElementDef + RawElementDef * ( 1 + PercentElementDef )
}
else{
TotalDef = RawElementDef - RawElementDef * ( 1 + PercentElementDef )
}
This works because of both the %of defence and the defence itself are negative it adds the number and -1 + -1 = -2. It's also written in Java I believe but otherwise it's just a case of changing the syntax a bit... also for whatever reason when I put spaces to intend it the spaces don't get shown ;-;

Look at my post above, nice work with the formula though
