Theoretically speaking, what is the absolute highest amount of damage possible with one attack?

drawback metal mage be like

apologies for necroposting but the magic with the highest damage would be crystal once you get enough stacks. If you do a max damage ultimate art move with it, and have max power, THAT should be the highest (don’t forget about power potions too, think it’s a 15% boost)

Does crystal with stacks do more damage than metal agaisnt a frozen target?

Yes. Hypothetically speaking, let’s say 1x damage is 100 hit points. That means Metal Magic does 126 damage against a frozen target, as 105 + 20% = 126.

Crystal Magic, on the other hand, does 126.75 damage with ONLY max stack crystallized. With the 10% boost from hitting a frozen target it does about 140 damage. Way more!!!

the ballistic missile i launch at the next thermo warlord i see will do the highest amount of damage possible

Also, if you’re looking for the highest OVERALL damage including DoT, use the normal set up with Poison Magic

Oh I forgot that crystal has a synergy with frozen
