Artifact DMG Calculator

What Does It Do?

Most calculators show you stats — SWLens simulates actual combat damage. The Artifact DMG Calculator takes your monster's full stat profile, selects any skill from the game data with its real multipliers, and simulates the exact damage that skill would deal under the battle conditions you configure. It factors in everything the game considers: your monster's stats, skill multipliers, artifact sub-properties, enemy defense and HP, buffs, debuffs, glory towers, guild flags, leader skills, elemental advantage, passives like Deborah's Blacksmith's Discernment passive, and more.

The result? Exact damage numbers — crit damage, non-crit damage, average damage per hit, and total damage across all hits. In-game damage has a small random variance, so the calculator shows the expected average with actual results falling within approximately ±5% of the calculated value.

But the real power isn't just seeing damage numbers — it's the automatic artifact ranking. After configuring your battle scenario, the calculator tests hundreds of artifact combinations from your entire inventory and ranks the best pairings by damage output. You'll know exactly which artifacts to equip for maximum damage — no guesswork.

Select any monster from your imported SWEX JSON collection. The calculator automatically loads all skills from the game data — complete with their real damage multipliers. Switch between S1, S2, S3, and S4 to see how each skill performs under the same battle conditions.

This is where the calculator truly separates itself from anything else available. Configure the exact combat scenario you want to simulate — down to the specific enemy, their stats, active buffs and debuffs, tower levels, and even enemy artifact damage reduction.

Enemy Stats

Set the enemy's DEF, Max HP, current HP%, and element. You can enter values manually for PvP scenarios, or select a specific enemy unit from your JSON inventory. The element selection unlocks elemental advantage calculations — when your monster has advantage, the calculator automatically applies the +15% Critical Rate bonus. You can also test against ALL elements to see average damage across all matchups.

Enemy DMG Reduction Artifacts

In PvP, your opponent's artifacts may have “DMG from [Element]-” sub-properties that reduce your damage. The calculator lets you input these per-element reductions so you see realistic PvP damage, not just raw numbers.

Want to know exactly how much damage your Lushen deals to the Giants B12 boss? Or whether your Kro can one-shot Zaiross in Dragons B12? The dungeon presets make it effortless.

Click any dungeon to expand its waves, then click any enemy portrait to instantly load their exact stats — DEF, HP, element, and boss status. Every wave is covered:

Giants B12

Crystal (Pure), Water Golem, Kuhn (Mini-Boss), Water Golem, Crystal (Pure), Water Golem, Ancient Giant (Final Boss)

Dragons B12

Small Crystal, Medium Crystal, Zaiross (Mini-Boss), Small Crystal, Medium Crystal, Abyssal Dragon (Final Boss)

Necro B12

Crystal (Pure), Dark Golem, Grego (Mini-Boss), Crystal (Pure), Dark Golem, Ancient Lich King (Final Boss)

This is invaluable for speed team optimization. Instead of guessing whether your monsters can clear waves fast enough, you see the exact numbers — and can test which artifact pairings push you over one-shot thresholds.

Real combat involves buffs and debuffs — and the calculator models all of them:

Buffs (on your monster)

• ATK Buff — increases your effective attack power
• DEF Buff — factors into DEF-scaling skill damage
• SPD Buff — factors into SPD-scaling skill damage and artifact interactions

Debuffs (on the enemy)

• DEF Break — dramatically reduces enemy defense, massively increasing your damage
• Branding — enemy takes 25% more damage from all sources

Special Passives

Some monsters have passives that change how combat mechanics work. The calculator supports these — for example, Deborah's passive increases the decreasing effects of ATK, DEF, and SPD that enemies receive by 30% (15% for bosses). The calculator applies the correct enhanced reduction automatically.

Deborah (Dark Blacksmith)

Passive: Blacksmith's Discernment — Increases the decreasing effects of Attack Power, Defense, and Attack Speed that enemies receive by 30% (15% if it's the boss). The calculator applies the correct bonus automatically.

Other Combat Modifiers

• Ignore DEF — full (100%) or partial percentage for ignore-defense skills
• First Attack bonus — for “First Attack CD+” artifact sub-properties
• CR Override — force a specific crit rate for comparison testing
• CD Reduction — simulate enemy artifacts that reduce your crit damage
• Leader Skill ATK% — apply arena/guild leader skill bonuses
• Fight Sets — stack ally Fight set bonuses (8% ATK per set)

Tower bonuses significantly affect damage calculations — and most other calculators ignore them. SWLens includes every Glory Tower and Guild Flag:

SPD

up to 15%

CD

up to 25%

ATK

up to 20%

Elem ATK

up to 21%

HP

up to 20%

DEF

up to 20%

Guild Flags add HP (5%), ATK (5%), and DEF (5%) bonuses on top. Click “Max Towers” to instantly set all towers to maximum — or configure each one individually to match your current tower levels. In PvP scenarios, towers affect both your stats AND enemy stats for accurate simulation.

This is the killer feature. After configuring your battle scenario, the calculator automatically scans your entire artifact inventory and ranks every possible pairing by actual damage output — not just stat numbers, but real simulated combat damage.

Two-Tier Ranking System

Each recommendation shows the artifact icon, grade, all sub-properties, and the exact damage difference — in both absolute numbers and percentage. Green means an upgrade, red means a downgrade. You'll know instantly which artifacts to swap.

Found the perfect artifact pair for a monster? Lock it. Locked artifacts are excluded from rankings for all other monsters — preventing the calculator from recommending the same artifact to multiple units. This lets you work through your monster box one by one, locking the best pairs as you go.

• Lock pairs — click the lock button on any recommended pair to reserve it
• LOCKED tab — view all locked pairs across all monsters in one place
• Unlock — remove individual locks or unlock everything at once
• Persistent — locked pairs are saved in your browser and persist across sessions

The results panel shows a side-by-side comparison of your currently equipped artifacts vs any recommended pair you're previewing:

• Crit Damage — damage per hit when you land a critical strike
• Non-Crit Damage — damage per hit without a critical strike
• Average Damage — expected damage per hit accounting for your crit rate
• Total Damage — average damage × number of hits for multi-hit skills
• Additional True Damage — bonus damage from artifact effects like “Addl. DMG by ATK” that bypasses defense
• Grand Total — the final number used for all artifact ranking comparisons

When previewing a recommended pair, the difference is shown in both absolute numbers and percentage — e.g., +5,234 (+12.3%) for an upgrade.
