- For further explanation, every time the player deals damage the game rolls a number and applies it as a percent. The minimum possible roll is equal to the player's balance total, while the maximum is 100. This is then applied against the character's actual damage, meaning that a character with 80 balance would deal anywhere between 80% to 100% of the actual damage per hit.
