An Overview of Damage Calculation

'Damage Calculations' When an attack is declared, it have many steps to it. Damage calculations is when damage to each player is resolved. So if you attack with a monster with ATK:2800 and the defending monster has DEF:3000. Your monster's affect decreases the opponent's ATK and DEF by 500 when it battles this monster during damage calculations only. So your opponent's DEF is 2500 instead during the damage calculations. So 280 is higher than 2500, thus the defending monster is destroyed!'''Damage calculations is not the calculations of LP lost. That is Battle Damage!'
