Greetings, Guardians of Dominion! Zeus here with another enlightening analysis. Today, we\u2019re taking a deep dive into Folio\u2019s first skill, Weight of Knowledge<\/strong>, breaking it down in full detail to understand its mechanics and how to maximize its damage potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This guide isn\u2019t focused on specific team compositions or perfect battle accuracy<\/strong>. Instead, the goal is to analyze the skill\u2019s raw mechanics<\/strong> and how it performs in different situations. If you\u2019re looking to master Folio and unleash his full potential, this is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Folio\u2019s ultimate skill creates a blot<\/strong> above the enemy team, which expands over five seconds<\/strong>. The longer it channels, the more damage it deals, reaching a maximum of 174,603 base damage<\/strong> at full charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This damage is calculated as: On top of the base damage, Weight of Knowledge<\/strong> gains extra bonus damage<\/strong> based on Intelligence difference<\/strong>. However, my Folio is not fully maxed yet<\/strong>\u2014he is missing artifacts and rank 5 ascension<\/strong>, so the numbers will be even higher<\/strong> once fully upgraded. For now, we work with what we have and analyze how the skill performs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Folio\u2019s skill is designed to deal more damage the longer it channels<\/strong>. However, there are scenarios where this channeling can be interrupted<\/strong>, affecting the final damage output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Folio\u2019s ultimate is interrupted<\/strong> in two situations: However, unlike Amira, Folio\u2019s ultimate will always deal damage<\/strong> even if he is eliminated. This means that even if Folio dies, his ultimate can still take down the enemy team<\/strong>. This is crucial in high-risk battles<\/strong>, where survival is uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Folio\u2019s ultimate damage scales from two primary sources: \u27a1\ufe0f The base damage of Weight of Knowledge is 175,000<\/strong>, calculated as 150% Magic Attack + 13,100 flat damage<\/strong>. The following heroes provide Magic Attack boosts through their first artifact<\/strong>: Example Calculation:<\/strong> Folio\u2019s second damage source comes from Intelligence scaling<\/strong>. \u2714\ufe0f Dante\u2019s Intelligence<\/strong> = 3,196 \u27a1\ufe0f 12,619 divided by 100 = 126 extra damage multipliers<\/strong> Since Folio steals Intelligence<\/strong> through his other skills, this extra damage will be even higher against agility and strength-based heroes<\/strong>. His total skill damage can exceed 500,000 per hero<\/strong>, meaning a full five-target hit can deal over 2.5 million damage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To further amplify Intelligence difference damage<\/strong>, Folio can be paired with Satori<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2714\ufe0f Satori\u2019s Eternal Wisdom<\/strong> skill steals 260 Intelligence per attack<\/strong>, and this lasts until the end of battle<\/strong>. Even though Folio has high base Magic Penetration<\/strong>, he will struggle against tanky heroes<\/strong> with Magic Defense above 50,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2714\ufe0f Use heroes with Magic Penetration artifacts<\/strong> \ud83d\udd39 Orion, Polaris, Faceless, Arachne, Lilith, Mojo, and Lars<\/strong> provide Magic Penetration artifacts<\/strong>, helping Folio break through magic-resistant enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udd39 Alvanor and Corvus<\/strong> can reduce enemy Magic Defense with their skills. \u2714\ufe0f Augustus can convert Folio\u2019s Magic Damage into Pure Damage<\/strong>, bypassing Magic Defense entirely<\/strong>. Folio\u2019s Weight of Knowledge<\/strong> is a devastating ultimate<\/strong> that can deal massive area damage<\/strong>, especially when paired with Intelligence-stealing allies<\/strong> and Magic Penetration support<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2714\ufe0f Magic Attack scaling makes him stronger with the right buffs.<\/strong> \ud83d\udcac Do you think Folio\u2019s first skill is strong enough?<\/strong> Drop a comment below, and let\u2019s discuss different team ideas and strategies<\/strong> for maximizing Folio\u2019s full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction Greetings, Guardians of Dominion!

\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Folio\u2019s First Skill \u2013 Weight of Knowledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Skill Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u27a1\ufe0f 150% of Folio\u2019s Magic Attack<\/strong>
\u27a1\ufe0f Flat bonus of 13,100 damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBonus Damage from Intelligence Difference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u27a1\ufe0f For every 100 Intelligence points more than his opponent, Folio deals an extra 530 magic damage<\/strong>.
\u27a1\ufe0f This makes Folio especially strong against tanks, warriors, and agility-based heroes<\/strong> who have low Intelligence stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nHow Channeling Affects Folio\u2019s Ultimate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When Does Channeling Stop?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1\ufe0f\u20e3 If Folio is killed before the five seconds are up<\/strong>, the blot stops growing, and damage is applied based on the time it had to expand.
2\ufe0f\u20e3 If Folio is killed and replaced by an illusionary copy<\/strong>, similar to Amira\u2019s ultimate<\/strong>, the channeling is disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example:
\u27a1\ufe0f If Folio\u2019s maximum damage is 175,000<\/strong> after five seconds, but he is killed at four seconds<\/strong>, the skill will still deal 140,000 damage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nHow to Scale Damage \u2013 Best Ways to Maximize Weight of Knowledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Two Sources of Damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udd39 Base Damage (Magic Attack Scaling)<\/strong>
\ud83d\udd39 Bonus Damage from Intelligence Difference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBoosting Base Damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u27a1\ufe0f Increasing Folio\u2019s Magic Attack<\/strong> will directly increase this damage output<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBest Heroes to Boost Magic Attack<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u2714\ufe0f Nebula, Amira, Lian, Iris, Augustus, Judge, Celeste, Satori, Jorgen, Kai, Alvanor, Krista, and even Folio himself<\/strong>.
\u2714\ufe0f Polaris doesn\u2019t directly provide Magic Attack, but frozen enemies take 140% more magic damage<\/strong>, indirectly boosting Folio\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Nebula\u2019s 174,000 Magic Attack boost<\/strong> is applied, Folio\u2019s damage increases to 435,000 per enemy hero<\/strong>. If he hits all five enemies, the total output is 2.1 million damage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nExtra Damage from Intelligence Difference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u27a1\ufe0f For every 100 Intelligence points above his target, Folio deals an extra 530 damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nExample Calculation Against Dante<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u2714\ufe0f Folio\u2019s Intelligence<\/strong> = 15,815
\u2714\ufe0f Difference<\/strong> = 12,619<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u27a1\ufe0f 126 \u00d7 530 = 67,000 bonus magic damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nMaximizing Intelligence Drain \u2013 Best Heroes to Pair with Folio<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2714\ufe0f This enables Folio to completely strip Intelligence<\/strong> from enemies, dramatically increasing his bonus damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFolio Needs Magic Penetration \u2013 How to Break Through Enemy Defenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
How to Ensure Full Damage Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u2714\ufe0f Pair Folio with heroes that lower enemy Magic Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBest Magic Penetration Artifact Heroes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Best Heroes to Lower Enemy Magic Defense<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udd39 Stealing Intelligence also lowers Magic Defense<\/strong>, so heroes that strip Intelligence<\/strong> will further increase Folio\u2019s damage output.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAugustus \u2013 The Ultimate Synergy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u2714\ufe0f This ensures consistent and unstoppable<\/strong> damage, making Folio a true magic powerhouse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts \u2013 How Strong is Folio\u2019s First Skill?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2714\ufe0f Intelligence difference damage punishes low-Intelligence enemies.<\/strong>
\u2714\ufe0f Proper team synergy can push his total damage over 2.5 million per cast.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
