copy pasted from some old stuff I wrote.

Some servant have a damaging NP, the damage dealt from the NP is always depending on the NP Level.

At NP lv1, a NP can only charge to 100%, BUT it can reach 200%[and 300% if 3rd NP] when used in a NP chain with another NP in front of it.

If you reach NP level 2 or higher, you may charge your NP gauge to 200%(and 300%[and 400% if 3rd NP] via NP chain). At NP5 you may charge it to 300%(and 400%[and 500% if 3rd NP] via NP chain).

NP Charge does not increase the damage of a NP.

If you use Ionioi Hetairoi at NP1 200% charge, the damage won't be different to the NP damage dealt at NP1 100%.

If you use Ionioi Hetairoi at NP5 500% Charge, the damage won't be different to the NP damage dealt at NP5 100%.

NP charge only affects the NP overcharge effect, which will NOT affect NP damage except specifically stated by the NP overcharge effect.

For example:

If you use Brynhildrs Beloved at NP1 200% charge, the damage won't be different to the NP damage dealt at NP1 100%.

If you use Brynhildrs Beloved at NP5 500% Charge, the damage won't be different to the NP damage dealt at NP5 100%.

BUT

If you use Brynhildrs Beloved at NP1 200% charge against a enemy that has the "Brynhildrs Beloved" trait, as Sigurd for example, the damage will be higher than the normal NP1 200% charge NP against a different enemy because the NP specifically states it deals more dmg against Brynhildrs Beloved trait enemies.

When using such a NP the NP damage can rise even higher by increasing the overcharge effect since the damage dealt increases with the overcharge amount.
