A tool used to estimate the damage output of sorceries and incantations within the Elden Ring game. It typically incorporates various factors, such as the player’s stats (Intelligence, Faith, Arcane), the scaling of the staff or seal used to cast the spell, enemy defenses, and any relevant buffs or debuffs applied to either the player or the enemy. These factors are calculated to provide a prediction of the damage a specific spell will inflict under given conditions.
Such tools are invaluable for players seeking to optimize their spellcasting builds and strategies. They offer the ability to compare the effectiveness of different spells, staves, seals, and stat allocations without requiring extensive in-game experimentation. By predicting the potential damage output, players can make informed decisions about character progression and equipment choices. Furthermore, these resources often collate community knowledge and findings regarding hidden game mechanics, offering a deeper understanding of the damage calculation system.
