Skill Scaling & ATK Crossover
Every Sword Skill scales with your ATK on a different curve, so the best pick changes as you gear up. This finds the exact ATK where one skill overtakes another — for per-hit damage, sustained DPS or SP efficiency.

Each skill's per-hit damage is a straight line in ATK: the At ATK 0 column is its flat value with no attack, and Per +100 ATK is how much every 100 points of ATK adds. Because those slopes differ, a skill with a big flat hit can lead early yet be overtaken by a steeper one as your ATK climbs — the crossover ATK is exactly where the lines meet. Per-hit damage sums every strike in one activation. Single-target, before buffs, weapon bonuses or critical hits.
