Damage Scaling[]

Paradoxica has double damage from the weapon's total flat damage. When combined with large amounts of flat added physical damage from non-weapon sources, it can scale damage competitive with high physical damage one-handed rare swords. Some examples of non-weapon sources of flat added physical are:

Bloodthirst support adds 2% of your maximum life as flat added physical damage to weapons.
- Example: A player with above average life has 6,000 maximum life. (6,000 X .02) = 120 Flat added physical weapon damage.

Version history[]

Version	Changes
3.15.0	"Thrusting One Hand Sword" item class changed to "One Hand Sword".^[1]
3.14.0	Modifiers that are unveiled through Jun are now more powerful than before. Previously, when an item was unveiled, the veiled modifier added to the item would be equal to the highest tier modifier available on the Crafting Bench. Now, the modifier being unveiled no longer counts as a crafted modifier and will be stronger than any craftable veiled modifier. The following craftable veiled modifiers have been adjusted. Please note that only the highest tier of craftable modifiers have been listed - lower tiers of these modifiers have also been adjusted in similar ways. (wiki editor note: full list omitted. Please read Version 3.14.0 § Crafted Veiled Modifier Balance. Not all affected craftable veiled modifies are craftable on Paradoxica )
3.6.0	Several veiled modifiers now have fewer tiers. Low tiers contribute more towards unlocking higher tiers, however it will, on average, take more unveils to unlock the highest tier.
3.5.0	Introduced to the game.
