you don't multiply the inundation with the SC multiplier, you multiply the dmg result of the SC multipler with the inundation multiplier which results in the final number being approximatly 12.8x the WS damage. the math in there has something wrong a little, but it explains the 12.8x
BGwiki, like all wikis, are compilations of user submitted information (and subject to easily becoming out-of-date.) It's not "12.8%" btw, it's a 12.8x multiplier, which would be "1280%". You also are adding in skillchain damage/bonus, which is not included in the dev post..

The way the dev post is worded, it implies that "a skillchain comprising all 15 weapon types will have a maximum bonus multiplier from Inundation of 12.8" and yes, a 15-step sc including every ws type would indeed have an unfloored multiplier of 1.2^14, or 12.83918465 according to my calculator. ^^;; The only issue I have with that is that, as far as I've ever seen or read, it's not actually possible to create a 15-step skillchain mechanics-wise. Given that, it's rather misleading to give us that number instead of the much more likely 1.2^5 / ~2.49x. (Messed up my math in the prior post. ^^;; A 6-step would be ^5 not ^6.) Even adding up the damage increases applied to each step don't get close to the 12.8, so further clarification would be needed in this case to prevent misinterpretation.
