Survival in the Otherworld: Damage Mechanics

In Drova - Forsaken Kin, understanding how your stats translate to damage is key to surviving the harsh wilderness. Unlike many modern RPGs that use percentage-based reductions, Drova typically employs a Flat Armor system similar to the Gothic series.

💡 The Armor Threshold

Because armor is flat subtraction (e.g., Damage - Armor), small increases in Attack Power matter immensely. If an enemy has 30 Armor and you deal 30 Damage, you do 0 Damage (or a minimum chip amount). Increasing your damage to 35 actually results in an infinite percentage increase in effectiveness.

Attribute Scaling

Strength (STR): Increases damage for Axes, Swords, and blunt weapons. Essential for breaking through heavy armor.
Dexterity (DEX): Increases damage for Spears, Daggers, and Bows. Often pairs with Critical Hit chance mechanics.
Mind: Increases effectiveness of runic magic and scroll usage.

The Flow Mechanic

Combat in Drova rewards aggression and rhythm. As you land hits and dodge successfully, you build Flow. High Flow states not only unlock special abilities but often apply a passive damage multiplier. Maintaining Flow is the difference between chipping away at a boss and melting them.

Does weapon quality affect scaling? +

Yes. Higher quality weapons (indicated by name or tier) often have better "Scaling Grades." An Iron Sword might have C-scaling with Strength, while a Steel Sword might have B-scaling, giving you more damage per point of Strength.

Is it better to upgrade Stats or Weapon? +

Early game, upgrading the Weapon provides the biggest raw boost to overcome base Armor thresholds. Late game, Stats become more valuable due to multipliers and scaling.
