My testing is limited, but it strongly suggests that the potency of Flash is determined by theyour weapon. It's probably Magic Damage, but it could instead be Physical Damage. Not that it matters because the two are directly correlated anyway.


While Flash does no damage, using it on a Clockwork Knight in BCoB Turn 4 reflects damage onto you. My Paladin friend and I took the exact same amount of damage from this, despite having totally different gear (I had more Strength than him). When he upgraded to Curtana+1, the damage he took increased. He took more damage than I did, despite that I still had more Strength.

When I brought my Warrior (Bravura +1), I now took more damage from Flash than he did. This was assumedly because I had Maim and Unchained up. Berserk did not affect it at all. I didn't test Fight or Flight.

Assuming that the damage reflected by the Clockwork Knight is directly related to the enmity from Flash, we concluded that:

• The potency of Flash is in no way affected by your Strength or Attack Power stat.
• The potency of Flash directly correlates to the item level of your weapon. I'm assuming it's related to the Magic Damage stat on your weapon.
• Flash is affected by Maim and Unchained since Maim increases "Damage Dealt" and Unchained removes the reduction to damage penalty from Defiance.
• Flash is NOT affected by Berserk because it increases "Attack Power", unlike Maim which increases "Damage Dealt".
• I haven't tested it yet, but one can assume that Fight or Flight also does nothing since it increases "Physical Damage Dealt".

Interesting. I'll have to check damage done to me my next in T4. I've never noticed if I take damage due to flash at all. However I'll only flash when they drop so it should be easier to spot. Thanks for this.
