ELDEN RING QUESTION: If a weapon has physical damage number and magic damage numbers, what does that mean? Which numbers does it use? Combine? Average? Something else? EX: My Weapon: 100 + 25 Physical 100 + 28 Magic

      @IksarHS Pretty sure it's combined!

        @quietbastion !?!? So a weapon with two damage types does literally double the damage of a weapon without two damage types.... if the numbers are the same?

      @IksarHS Oh no, this is complicated… So the answer is yes, it is additive. However, there is also per-damage type defense values, and split damage tends to suffer here because the combination of two defense values tends to outweigh the raw damage increase when split.

        @IksarHS For example… Sword A: 400 phy damage Sword B: 250 phy / 250 mag damage Vs an enemy with 150 phy and 150 mag dmg negation values Sword A = 400-150 = 250 damage applied Sword B = (250-150) + (250-150) = 200 damage applied.
