- Each [[Ship]]’s weapon type determines your basic attack damage type:


Projectile Ships → Basic attack becomes Standard Damage
*Projectile [[Ships]] - Standard Damage.


Missile Ships → Basic attack becomes Piercing Damage
*Missile [[Ships]] - Piercing Damage.


Corrosive Ships → Basic attack becomes Elemental Damage
*Corrosive [[Ships]] - Elemental Damage.

- Basic attack: 1 target (default)


Increase this limit through Gears, Troopers, or the Tech Tree.

Summoned or converted units do not share your AOE target limit.

However, Duchess DunVella gives summoned/converted allies +30% All Resistance, +300% Damage, hits 3 additional targets, and makes them immune to Burn.

Introduction

This page explains how battle damage, defense and effects work in Outlaw Troopers.

Damage Types

- There are four types of damage in Encounters:

  • Standard Damage – Normal attack damage which deals damage to shield before armor.
  • Piercing Damage – Ignores shields and hits armor directly.
  • Elemental Damage – Has a 35% chance to burn enemies.
  • Irresistible Damage – Cannot be resisted or blocked (even by Aegis).

- Each Ship’s weapon type determines your basic attack damage type:

  • Projectile Ships - Standard Damage.
  • Missile Ships - Piercing Damage.
  • Corrosive Ships - Elemental Damage.

Note: Gear abilities retain their own damage type (e.g. Solar Igniter always deals Elemental Damage, no matter your Ship).

Critical System

- All damage types can now critically hit.

- Base Critical Chance: 5%

- Base Critical Multiplier: 100%

AOE Target Limit

- Basic attack: 1 target (default)

- AOE skills: 3 targets (default)

- You can increase this limit through Gears, Troopers, or the Tech Tree.

Note: Summoned or converted units have their own target limit. Only Duchess DunVella increases their hit targets (and grants other buffs).

Defensive Mechanics

Armor and Shield

- Shield absorbs damage before armor.

- While you have shield remaining, you take 30% less damage.

- Armor: When it reaches 0, your Ship is defeated.

- Piercing and Irresistible Damage bypass shield and hit armor directly with 100% damage.

Resistances

- Each damage type has its own resistance ( Standard / Piercing / Elemental ).

- Maximum Resistance: 75%.

- Resistance can be reduced during Encounter or even go negative due to enemy effects (e.g. Immunizer Dominator), making you take more damage.

Evade

- Evade works on attacks that deal Standard Damage.

- Maximum Evade Chance: 75%.

Burn Effect

Base Burn Damage: 20.

Enemy Burn Damage: 20 + (2 × Tier Number).

Irresistible Damage

This special damage type ignores all resistances, shields, and Aegis protection. Examples include:

Omni (Dominator): Removes 5% of your Shield when hit.

Death Marker (Gear): Sacrifices part of your Armor and Shield to instantly defeat an enemy.

Nanoburst (Gear): Instantly removes a percentage of enemies’ Shields.

Unstable Calibrator (Gear): Sacrifices part of your Armor and Shield to reset all skill cooldowns.

Common Questions

Q: Do minions or summons share my AOE limit? No. Their attacks are separate. Only Duchess DunVella increases their target count.

Q: Why does my resistance show a negative value? Some enemies, such as Dominators, can apply debuffs that reduce your resistance below 0%, making you take more damage.

Q: Do ships and gears share damage type? No. Ships affect your basic attack, while Gears always use their own fixed damage type shown in their description.
