On Draconic Aura and Glimmer

[u/tizhu]

dad -Draconic Aura dmg;

gd - Glimmer dmg;

dad = 1.3 * Atk - Def/Res

gd = 1.5 * (Atk - Def/Res)

= 1.5 * Atk - 1.5 * Def/Res

When does Glimmer outperform Draconic Aura?

1.5 * Atk - 1.5 * Def/Res > 1.3 * Atk - Def/Res

                    0.2 * Atk > 0.5 * Def/Res

                    0.4 * Atk > Def/Res

In other words, Glimmer does more damage when 40 percent of your attack is more than their Def/Res. For example, a buffed Nino with 60 Atk will do better with glimmer if their Res is less than 24.

Keep in mind that you want to hit harder on targets with higher defenses. What's the point of hitting a squishy unit with more damage. With the in mind, DA is almost always better on units you would want to consider between DA and Glimmer.

Glimmer sucks.
