Racial damage on dual race enemies

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion
1

I was just wondering, say you have a nightblade with 12/12 Anatomy of Murder (+33% damage to humans) and one Purified Salt component equipped (+15% damage to aetherials). You hit Aleksander, who is both aetherial and human (https://www.grimtools.com/monsterdb/1144/skills). Which racial damage bonus apply?

I can’t say for sure but the engine doesn’t prioritize one race over another afaik, when modding you can only input an array of races per creature.

I would assume that the damage of both races would be added together, then standard racial damage multipliers takes place using that combined value instead. But, like I said, I could be wrong. I don’t see why it would work any other way unless there’s an internal, hidden limit somewhere.

My Reaper has both of those things and human Aetherials die so fast. It usually takes a single throw from Frenetic Throw to kill one of them, even the ones with the Maiven Sphere.

So i assume they stack.

The racial bonuses would be added together.
