Damage & Gauntlet Hero
Why your numbers are bigger on Eden, why monsters have more HP and how bosses stay challenging.
Every character on Eden has a permanent buff called Gauntlet Hero. It gives +100% Final Damage. It's applied when you log in and comes back after you die, so you never need to think about it.
Why#
Big numbers feel good. Instead of changing any class formulas, Eden raises your damage with one clean multiplier and gives monsters matching HP:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Final Damage buff (everyone) | +100% |
| Monster HP | x2 |
| Damage bosses ignore | 30% of every hit |
Kill times on normal monsters stay about the same as GMS, while every number you see is bigger.
Bosses#
Bosses ignore 30% of each hit on top of the extra HP, so boss fights are longer than normal monster fights. That's on purpose: bosses should be events, not one-shots. Bring a party, bring potions and read Bossing.
"My damage seems low"#
Your damage comes from your stats, attack, %damage, boss damage, ignore defense and your skills, the same way as GMS. The biggest single lever is usually weapon attack, from better weapons, scrolling and potential. The Gear progression explains how to raise it. Type @check to see your stats.
