Torneko 1:Damage

Damage (Japanese: ???) is a gameplay mechanic in  Torneko's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon. Torneko, Monsters and Traps can deal damage based on their Attack Power, the Defense Power of their target and random numbers generated by the game. Some items and Special Attack deal fixed damage instead. Finally special factors can modify damage after the calculations.

Damage Calculations

The damage of Torneko on monsters, the damage of monsters on Torneko and the damage of Traps on Torneko are calculated with the same formulas.

First, a Base Damage value is calculated by confronting the Attack Power of the attacking party and the Defense Power of the defending party.

$\color {Purple}{\text{Base Damage}}\color {Black}=\color {DarkRed}{\text{AtkPw}}\color {Black}\times \left({\frac {15}{16}}\right)^{\color {Blue}{\text{DefPw}}}$

Then the Base Damage obtained is transformed into a distribution of possible damage value by using random numbers generated by the game :

$\color {DarkGreen}{\text{Random Number}}\color {Black}={\frac {n}{128}}$ rounded to the nearest fraction with n ranging between 112 - 143.

The final Damage value is calculated with the following formula :

$\color {Black}{\text{Damage}}\color {Black}=\color {Purple}{\text{BaseDmg}}\color {Black}\times \color {DarkGreen}{\text{RN}}$

If this value exceeds 255 then it becomes 255.

Other Damage Sources

Thrown Shields, Herbs, Seeds, Rings, Staves, Scrolls, Chests and Dragon's projectiles deal fixed damage with some random variations. Explosions from Bomb Crags and Mine Traps also do fixed damage based on Torneko's current HP. Finally some items deal fixed damage with random variations when used. Since these damage sources don't use the damage formula, they won't be reduced by higher Defense Power.

Shields Damage

Shields damage when thrown is based on its Shield Strength. If the Shield Strength of a shield is between 1 - 127, it deals damage equal to its Shield Strength or its Shield Strength minus 1 randomly. If the Shield Strength is equal to 0, 128 or higher than 128 then it always deals damage equal to its Shield Strength.

Chests and Rings Damage

Chests and Rings damage when thrown is equal to 1 - 2.

Herbs, Seeds, Staves and Scrolls Damage

Herbs, Seeds, Staves and Scrolls damage when thrown is equal to 0 - 1. Exceptions due to special damage modifiers exist.

Bang Scroll

The Bang Scroll deals fixed damage that range between 5 - 35 to all monsters in the same room or the surrounding 8 tiles in a corridor.

Dragon Projectiles

Dragon projectiles deal fixed damage that range between 17 - 23.

Bomb Crag Explosions

Bomb Crag explosions don't deal damage to monsters, simply defeating them instantly. They do deal damage to Torneko :

• If Torneko's current HP is strictly higher than 1, then the damage is equal to his HP minus 1.

• If Torneko's current HP is equal to 1, then it will defeat him instead.

Mine Traps

Stepping on a Mine Traps instantly defeat monsters in the radius and deals damage to Torneko equal to half his current HP. If his HP is 1, it will defeat him instead.

Bang Scroll

The Bang Scroll deals fixed damage that range between 5 - 35 to all monsters in the same room or the surrounding 8 tiles in a corridor.

Thunder Staff

The Thunder Staff deals fixed damage that range between 18 - 22 when waved at a monster.

Special Damage Modifiers

Metabble Modifier

When attacking a Metabble, if the calculated damage exceeds 1, then it gets corrected to 1.

Dragon Sword Modifier

When attacking a Dragon with a Dragon Sword equipped, damage from any source will first be calculated normally then multiplied by 2. This means the damage from melee attack will be doubled, but also the damage from arrows and thrown weapons.

Dragon Shield Modifier

When hit by a Dragon's projectile with a Dragon Shield, the damage will be halved, rounded down.

Monster Weakness Modifiers

Some monsters are weak to specific Herbs. They will take a large amount of fixed damage instead of the regular 0 - 1 damage.

Super Herbs deal 100 damage to Spookys, Horks, Mummies and Shadows.

Antidote Herbs deal 50 damage to Bigshrooms and Voodolls.

For some reason these 2 herbs won't deal any damage to other monsters, instead of the regular 0 - 1 damage.
