no matter which math teacher you ask they'll tell you that you should do the multiplication by order thus the one in the back of the formula have greater magnitude of result than that of the earlier one.

suppose if the damage is 1k multiplied by 100% then 100% then 100%, then for the first step you'll get extra 1k for total of 2k (1k + (1k x 100%) ) the 2nd step will give you 2k for total 4k (2k + (2k x 100%)) and the last one will give you whooping 4k for final result of 8k. This is what I meant by higher multiplier effect. Because NP up are calculated after most of the buff, it literally multiply the highest number among them all.

The real example is that my sieg NP without Mystic code 50% NP damage up dealt only 150-170k or so damage on Kiyo and her lizard friend, with 50% damage up it went up to 260k-280k ish which is flat 90k increase.. meanwhile NP without 3rd skill  (which is 50% atk up to dragon and 50% buster up) dealt only 70k-ish, that total damag got divided then the dragon mult add another 35k (105k) and the buster added 5.25k for total 157.5-ish damage.. as you can see the buff get stronger even with the same 50% multiplier.

The flat increase from divinity and buster scaling are fixed damage and are independent from the ordinary damage calculation, hence Buster chain are capable of dealing damage even to Siegfried or the Crab super armor that even super buff stack can't penetrate. However it's largely unrelated to how you hyphotize buff to works.
