I used the damage numbers in my video to estimate the unmitigated damage of the Rank 4 boss's Rage Overdrive: about 15k x 3 hits. When the ATK debuff cap of -50% is implemented (probably in February or early March), maximum mitigation from ATK debuffs will be 7500 damage; 1-shots on characters without HP buffs or not topped off will become a dangerous possibility. Stacking that with Joan's -40% damage cut will mitigate that to 4500; still enough to 2-shot characters in many cases. Compare that to 2700, which is possible now with -70% ATK and allows a character to potentially take 3 hits and still live. Sustain builds will be massively nerfed, so keep that in mind as you develop your team. Builds with Gaia should still be viable, but those relying on Joan may be overwhelmed.
