Damage to your units

Expected hit against stock Lowell at the level cap, per combat difficulty tier. The tier set in the menu bar is highlighted; pick a saved unit to use its own resistances.

Each number is the expected hit against the selected unit (stock Lowell at the level cap by default), after that unit's resistance and the tier's attack multiplier, and before hit chance, dodge and guard. Monsters have no energy cost - their skills are gated by cooldown only (energy is a player-unit resource).
