Summary

I'm trying to make this basic attack formula work, but it keeps inflicting an insane amount of damage instead. I have the formula like this in RPG maker: a.atk * (100 / 100 + b.def) If the user's ATK was 30, and the enemies defense was 20, the enemy would take 25 damage. 30 * (100 / 100 + 20) => 30 * (100 / 120) => 30 * (.83) = 25 Instead, it just inflicted 630 damage. What am I doing wrong when it comes to this formula?

Here's the formula I'm trying to copy vvvvvvv
