About the Auras

I am wondering how the passives for each of the Advanced Auras work. I know I only get them when I am using them, but I noticed that Dark Aura increases my magic attack more than 30 when I cast it. Is that supposed to happen Additionally, how does the dodge rate for Advanced Yellow Aura work? Is it a fixed chance to avoid an attack like Shadow Shifter or a hidden increase in avoidability? Also, the 2x from Body Boost only applies to the active 20% dodge rate for a total of 60% (20% x 2 + 20% passive)?

@DemoDango: Yeah, it was always % Attack/Magic Attack unless they changed it to % Total Damage in the revamp. Seeing as your Magic Attack increases in the stat window would confirm that it's not % Total Damage.

@TripleBladez: ...huh. Was it always like that? Because I tested it before and it gave me a result mirroring what I said above.

[quote=DemoDango]ADA...I'm not sure what you're talking about. ADA gives 25% Total Damage, which stacks additively with other sources of Total Damage and Boss Damage.[/quote]

ADA is 25% Attack/Magic Attack. It stacks additively with Echo of Hero instead of multiplicatively for any doubters.

@pikalachu:
The "guard" passive avoid doesn't increase the avoid stat, but instead increases the player's evasion rate after their level/monster's accuracy (determined by level) is taken into account.
The active avoid is indeed a flat rate, which is doubled by that skill we get after FLY.

AYA has 2 sort of avoid.
the passive avoid in which is shown by "guard" rate
and the active AYA when it activates, we smile. so yes, the active AYA is a fixed dodge rate while the passive 20% isnt fixed.
and as for ADA. its 25% dmg, but it actualy counts as m.att and att buff for everyone.

I was hoping that it would be a fixed dodge rate like shadow shifter but oh well. Battle Mage is still a blast to play though.

Dark Aura Increases your Damage but I guess it also raises your MAgicattack cause it does the same for me.
Yellow Aura is like Passive 20%avoid, then plus another 20% when active, and I assume another +20% with Bodyboost and with FLY ANOTHER +20% <3
