Simplify complex conditional logic to calculate damage buffs with precision

Building conditional logic for damage buffs sounds straightforward until you try to apply multiple overlapping conditions. That is the exact challenge here: a spreadsheet that calculates buffs correctly for single conditions but fails when skills require a darkness attack on a frozen enemy. The solution lies in structuring your logic to evaluate all trait combinations independently, not sequentially.
