Sequence Matters More Than Raw Card Prestige
This calculator is for turns where order, block breakpoints, Poison carry, and Shiv accounting decide whether the line is real or fake.
When It Helps
Use it for exact turn construction
It is strongest when you already know the hand, the target HP and Block, and the attack order you are trying to cash this turn.
Where It Lies
A pretty number does not make an invalid line playable
If the line breaks Energy, overspends Shivs, or relies on a mechanic outside the supported pool, the output still shows math but not a legally playable combat line.
Input Boundary
Supported pool only, real board state only
The page reads the listed supported cards, the exact sequence, and the live target state you enter. Unsupported cards, hidden triggers, and future draws stay outside the promise.
How It Works
How the Combo Damage Calculator Sequences Your Turn
This page resolves the card order you build and produces the real damage output for that exact sequence — including Strength scaling, Vulnerable timing, Poison carry-in, Shiv generation, and Finisher hits.

How to Use It
Build the sequence in the order you plan to play it
Add cards to the sequence panel in the exact order you intend to play them this turn. The calculator resolves each card left to right, carrying Strength stacks, Vulnerable status, active Poison, and generated Shivs forward through every step.
If you want to test whether playing the Vulnerable card before the big attack changes the total, swap the order and compare the output. That card-order question is the most common use case for this tool.
Set the enemy HP, Block, and initial Poison before building the line.
Use the Curated Openers section to load a common sequence as a starting point, then edit it.
The Output Summary at the bottom shows primary damage, Poison carry damage, and whether the sequence crosses the lethal threshold for the selected enemy range.
What It Models
Strength, Vulnerable, Poison, Shivs, and Finisher triggers
Each card in the library carries a defined damage formula, energy cost, and tag set. The calculator applies Strength to base damage, multiplies by 1.5 when Vulnerable is active on the target, accumulates Poison from apply effects, generates Shivs from the current Shiv sources, and checks Finisher conditions against the preceding attack count.
The projection window shows how residual Poison damage adds to the immediate total across extra turns, which matters for fights where the enemy survives the current turn but not the next.
Strength is applied at the point where each attack card resolves, not globally at the start of the sequence.
Vulnerable is applied by the card that inflicts it and takes effect on the next attack card in the line.
Shiv generation feeds the Shiv count live as you build the sequence, so Finisher cards read the correct available count.
Where It Stops
Supported pool only, one turn at a time
The calculator only models cards in the supported library, which covers the most common combo pieces for each character. Cards outside that set cannot be added to the sequence, and their effects on Strength, Poison, or Shiv generation are not reflected in the output.
The tool also models one combat turn at a time. It does not simulate enemy attacks, draw order, or multi-turn resource accumulation beyond the Poison carry projection.

Bad inputs, hidden fight modifiers, or unsupported edge cases still produce bad conclusions. The tool does not guess those for you.
Tune the live board state first. The line resolves top to bottom, so setup cards only help what comes after them.
