Per-class damage, defense, recovery, skill formula constants, and PvP multipliers

Per-class combat tuning. Damage rates against contexts (duel, events, PvP, PvM), class-vs-class damage modifiers, skill-specific damage formulas, HP/MP/BP/SD recovery rates, and the constants that feed every hit/defense calculation.

File Location

GameServer/Data/GameServerInfo - Character.dat

All keys live under [GameServerInfo]. Changes require a GameServer restart.

Class Codes

Every per-class key uses one of these two-letter prefixes.

Code	Class
DW	Dark Wizard
DK	Dark Knight
FE	Fairy Elf
MG	Magic Gladiator
DL	Dark Lord
SU	Summoner
RF	Rage Fighter

Damage Rates by Context

Percent of base damage applied in each game mode. 100 = no change, 50 = half damage, 0 = zero damage dealt.

Key	Default	Effect
DuelDamageRate	60	Damage scaling inside the duel arena
GensDamageRate	60	Damage scaling between Gens factions in PvP
CustomArenaDamageRate	50	Damage scaling in the Custom Arena plugin map
ChaosCastleDamageRate	50	Damage scaling in Chaos Castle
IllusionTempleDamageRate	50	Damage scaling in Illusion Temple
CastleSiegeDamageRate1	40	Damage on defenders during CS
CastleSiegeDamageRate2	0	Damage on attackers during CS
CastleSiegeDamageRate3	5	Damage on castle-neutral targets
GeneralDamageRatePvP	100	Baseline PvP damage anywhere without a special rate
GeneralDamageRatePvM	100	Baseline PvM damage
ReflectDamageRatePvP	100	Reflect damage in PvP
ReflectDamageRatePvM	100	Reflect damage in PvM

Context rates stack multiplicatively with class rates and class-vs-class rates. If Duel is 60, PvP General is 100, and DW-to-DK is 100, a DW hitting a DK in the arena lands 0.6 * 1.0 * 1.0 = 60% of the raw damage.

Class Damage Rates

Per-class multipliers for PvP and PvM. All default to 100.

Pattern	Meaning
<CLASS>DamageRatePvP	This class's damage output in any PvP context
<CLASS>DamageRatePvM	This class's damage output against monsters

Seven classes × two contexts = 14 keys, all default 100.

Class-vs-Class Damage Rates

Square matrix of multipliers. <A>DamageRateTo<B> = damage from class A when hitting class B. All default to 100 (no change).

Full 7x7 matrix

Every pair uses the same pattern: <ATTACKER>DamageRateTo<DEFENDER> = 100. 49 keys total.

• DWDamageRateToDW ... DWDamageRateToRF

• DKDamageRateToDW ... DKDamageRateToRF

• FEDamageRateToDW ... FEDamageRateToRF

• MGDamageRateToDW ... MGDamageRateToRF

• DLDamageRateToDW ... DLDamageRateToRF

• SUDamageRateToDW ... SUDamageRateToRF

• RFDamageRateToDW ... RFDamageRateToRF

Raise a row to buff one class's damage against another; lower it to nerf. Typical server balance tweaks live here, not in the context or class rates above.

Damage Stuck Rate

Chance of a "stuck" animation triggering on hit for each class. 0 disables. Value is a percentage.

Key	Default
DWDamageStuckRate	0
DKDamageStuckRate	0
FEDamageStuckRate	0
MGDamageStuckRate	0
DLDamageStuckRate	0
SUDamageStuckRate	0
RFDamageStuckRate	0

RFDamageMultiplierConstB	10	Rage Fighter Vitality divisor used in defense-stance rate

Plasma Storm per-class constants (28 keys)

Four constants per class (A/B/C/D, plus E for Dark Lord):

Class	A	B	C	D	E
DW	5	5	7	3	-
DK	3	5	5	7	-
FE	5	3	7	5	-
MG	3	5	5	7	-
DL	5	5	7	3	3

RF	5	5	3	7	-

Pool Recovery Rates

Percent of max pool recovered per recovery tick.

Pool	Default per class	Notes
HP (<CLASS>HPRecoveryRate)	0 for every class	Disabled by default; raise to grant passive HP regen
MP (<CLASS>MPRecoveryRate)	4 for every class
BP (<CLASS>BPRecoveryRate)	3 for every class except DK (5)	BP = stamina for combos and Rage Fighter
SD (<CLASS>SDRecoveryRate)	4 for every class	SD = Shield Defense

Seven classes × four pools = 28 keys, all following the same <CLASS><POOL>RecoveryRate pattern.

Base Damage Constants

Min/max physical and magic damage formula constants. Drive the baseline hit range before items and skills.

Per-class damage formula constants

Pattern: <CLASS>PhysiDamageMin/MaxConstA/B, <CLASS>MagicDamageMin/MaxConstA. Fairy Elf has extra Bow variants for ranged weapons.

Class	Physi Min A	Physi Min B	Physi Max A	Physi Max B	Magic Min A	Magic Max A
DW	6	-	4	-	9	4
DK	8	-	4	-	9	4
FE	7	-	4	-	9	4
MG	6	12	4	8	9	4
DL	7	14	5	10	9	4

Common Issues

• Every player hits for zero in the arena - DuelDamageRate = 0 by accident

• One class feels overpowered in PvP - check the <CLASS>DamageRatePvP and <CLASS>DamageRateTo<OTHER> rows, not the formula constants

• HP never regenerates for any class - <CLASS>HPRecoveryRate defaults to 0 on purpose. Raise per class to enable passive regen

• Castle Siege damage feels wrong only during CS - CastleSiegeDamageRate1/2/3 interact with the role you occupy (defender, attacker, neutral)

• Reflect never fires after the owner dies - ReflectDamageCheckOwnerLive = 1 is the source default; set to 0 to let reflect still apply when the owner dies in the same tick
