DoT

Damage Over Time (DoT) is a type of damage dealt through certain debuffs at the beginning of a target's turn. Unlike regular damage, DoT cannot score CRIT hits.

There are four basic types of DoT: Bleed, Burn, Shock, and Wind Shear, corresponding to Physical, Fire, Lightning and Wind respectively. Note that the additional DMG dealt by Ice's Frozen and Quantum's Entanglement are not considered DoTs, despite being dealt at the beginning of the target's turn.

There are unique types of DoT exclusive to characters:

Black Swan is able to apply a unique DoT debuff known as Arcana, which is regarded as a Wind Shears effect. When affected by the Epiphany debuff through her Ultimate Bliss of Otherworld's Embrace, Arcana is regarded as Wind Shears, Bleed, Burn, and Shock effects at the same time.
Jiaoqiu is able to apply a unique debuff known as Ashen Roast, which is regarded as a Burn effect.

There are two main sources of DoT: Character abilities and Weakness Break. Depending on the source, DoT damage is calculated differently.

DoTs are dealt in chronological order based on when they are inflicted, with DoTs inflicted earlier dealt first; Arcana is the exception as it is always dealt at the end of the queue. When an enemy is defeated, the rest DoTs inflicted on them will not be dealt.

Character DoT[]

DoTs applied by character abilities or through certain character equipments have their DMG calculated very similarly to regular damage, with the only difference being that CRIT is not taken into account.
