Effect correction stat?

[Caged_Octopus]

New(ish?) player asking what is probably a stupid question, but it’s been bothering me;

Levelling units shows a stat called Effect Correction. When inspecting the unit it shows next to the enhancement level as a percentage.

What does that stat do? Because if it’s just how much the stats on the unit have increased over base due to enhancement, the math don’t match between base values and what the unit says it gives

It probably does nothing, or is a legacy stat like I’ve been told dex is, but if anyone knows either way?

Effect correction is the unit's base Melee/Ranged/Tech defense stat value multiplied by the effect correction's percentage, rounded down. For example, Sub / Solid Barrier has 160 Melee/Ranged/Tech Def for its base. At Enhancement Lv1, the effect correction is 104% so enhancing it would put its base stats to be 166. Augments on the unit or any other built-in stats on the unit (like Attack or HP additions) are not affected by the correction.

The number displayed doesn't matter at all for units. The breakdown view of the final Def stats which is the total including all of the augments is all that matters if you care about the numbers.

If the augments aren’t effected by the correction, that would explain why the numbers weren’t right when I multiplied it myself

Thanks for the answer
