Hi I am new to this forum.

So my question is how Penetration and resist debuffs work.


So for example with Artemis; if I'm using Titan's Bane, does the physical penetration apply to my volley damage or just my regular attacks? Also if a person has 0 physical resist does Titan's Bane push their resist into the negative numbers?

Also would Void Blade's physical resist debuff work the same way?

Lastly is there a cap to how negative the numbers can go? Or a point where diminishing returns really affects this number?

Hye man welcome
I'll try to anwser with my limited knowlige XD please correct me if I'm wrong.

titan's bane will never push it to 0 since it does a % debuff and not a flat debuff like voidblade.

this means that if a god has 100 defence titan's bane will make it count for 55 defence.
or that if a god has 200 defence titan's bane will make it count for 110 defence.

you can not go under 0 as far as I know
at 0 defence you start doing true damage.

for flat itemns it goes like this if a god has 100 defence it will count for 70 with voidblade
for 200 it goes to 170 ect

and there aren't any diminishing returns since there is only 1% item XD

hope that helped.
if you need anything just PM or ask me when I'm streaming here
