Chi Blast Damage Formula
The generally accepted damage formula for Chi Blast is as follows:
MND * (#Boost * RandomNumber + 1) = DMG
where:
- MND is the player's MND stat
- #Boost is the number of times the player has boosted
- RandomNumber is a game determined number between 0.25 to 0.60 (without Temple Gloves) or 0.75 to 1.10 (with Temple Gloves).
This formula has not been confirmed, as people had been reporting a MND*10 cap at 12 boosts.
