Method

Burst value is a skill's Attack percentage × 60 ÷ its cooldown, for cooldowns of 3 s or more; the Attack percentage is the same at every skill rank. Where a skill lists several damage values (per Insignia stack or spirit element) the first is used. Combo timing, gear, stats, passives and Stigma enhancement are not modelled. The full method is on the tier list.
