Elite Buff: Damaging (Boss)

Internal engine status effect. This is the boss-specific variant of the Damaging elite buff. Damaging increases the enemy's basic attack damage by granting +2 Damage Up. The boss version applies the same +2 Damage Up to boss-tier enemies.

On a boss with already high base damage, the +2 Damage Up from Damaging makes each hit noticeably more threatening. The bonus applies to every basic attack instance, so bosses with Extra Attacks or multi-hit abilities get the bonus on each individual hit, amplifying the total damage significantly.

Brace stacks directly counteract the Damage Up bonus on a per-hit basis. Shield provides a buffer against the increased damage. Keep your cats' health topped off since the elevated damage creates more opportunities for lethal hits. The standard version, Elite Buff: Damaging, applies the same +2 Damage Up to regular elite enemies.
