* The number of damage instances can grow exponentially with the number of '''damage rider sources'''. For example, if you {{SAI|Sneak Attack}} a {{Cond|Burning}} target with the {{RarityItem|Firestoker}}, you will create 4 independent damage instances: the base attack, the sneak attack, '''Burned Alive''' triggered by the base attack, and '''Burned Alive''' triggered by the sneak attack. If you add {{SAI|Phalar Aluve: Shriek}}, this will increase to 8 '''DRS''' instances since Shriek will be triggered by each of the 4 preceding instances. | * The number of damage instances can grow exponentially with the number of '''damage rider sources'''.

The top 5 '''damage riders''' in the above list are '''universal'''. They will apply to any damage instance, even ones '''detached''' from a spell or attack. All the other '''damage riders''' involve conditions like <code>IsSpell()</code> or <code>IsMeleeAttack()</code> so any damage instance that is not a part of a spell or weapon attack cannot be boosted by these non-'''universal damage riders'''. Status effect damage like {{Cond|Simple Toxin}} is an example of damage '''detached''' from any attack or spell that can only be boosted by '''universal damage riders'''. See below for a more detailed discussion of '''detached''' damage instances. | The top 5 '''damage riders''' in the above list are '''universal'''.
