Diminishing Return
What is Diminishing return?
Diminishing return is a mechanic in Paladins that makes many different types of effects (both positive and negative effects) less effective when stacked up or reused on a recently affected target. These effects can be gained from champion skills, cards and/or items.
Champions will always receive the full value of their single highest bonus in an attribute, and all other bonuses will diminish on top of that value.
For example, A champion has 4 movement speed bonuses: 30%, 20%, 20%, and 10%. The champion is guaranteed to get the full value from the 30% bonus (because it is the highest value among all other values), the other will diminish on top of that 30%. Their total movement speed will be 55.00%.
Diminishing Returns will never kick in until a champion receives at least a 30% change in an attribute.
Movement Speed has a maximum increase of 150%.
All other attributes have a maximum increase of 95%.
Attributes that oppose each other will stack their diminished values additively against each other. Movement Speed opposes slow. Damage Reduction opposes Damage amp. Healing increase opposes healing reduction.
