Hi,

I don't understand how damage works in this game. I like to put in a lot of work into creating a team, but I don't understand enough about damage and stats to do that.
Can someone explain a couple of things?

I already understand that stats affect the damage, there's RNG, different elements factor in, enemy stats reduce damage and ninjutsu+taijutsu combination is more damage than just one of them. I understand basically nothing else.

- Do different skills have a hidden multiplier for damage or are skills with same description always identical in damage?
For example if two characters with same stats have a skill which causes ninjutsu damage to 3 opponents with no special combo or other factors described, is their average damage same?
Some skills will say stuff like "Causes heavy ninjutsu damage" so that means it's better than normal ninjutsu technique?

- Do characters have built-in factors such as someone has more ninjutsu than others when you recruit them? Do some gain more ninjutsu than others as they level? Is their damage etc. always in relation to the shown stats or are there hidden multipliers for different characters that affect these outcomes?

- How much more damage will a skill with ninjutsu + taijutsu cause compared to only ninjutsu or only taijutsu? Assuming of course the character has same amount of both

- How does combo affect damage? Say I have a skill "Cause ninjutsu damage to 1 target" and "Cause ninjutsu damage to 1 target and 5 combo" will the latter for example cause 5x the damage on average? Or will it do 5 hits with only 20% damage each?

- Will damage go up as I get more combo? Will the 20th strike be more powerful than the first?

Thanks for answering any of my questions
