What it scales with
- Thrust hits use Physical Power.
- Damage bonus: Thrust Damage and Physical Damage from gear and the tree, added together into one bonus.
- Physical Power = Strength x1, Adventure x0.5, Agility x0.5, plus flat Physical Power from gear and the tree. Archetype passives add: Wild Strider Adventure x0.25.
- One hit = power x (1 + bonus / 100) x (1 - the target's defence share) x the hit multiplier, rounded up. A critical hit then adds your Critical Damage.
