Finding: The cursed blade you use in the kazuha story quest says the wielder deals 50% less dmg. This effect is additive with dmg bonus, and does not effect transformative damage.

Evidence:

Kazuha a1 deals 2079 dmg, and swirl does 2020 dmg.

https://youtu.be/4vgO4tkIYbQ

A1 calc with multiplicative reduction: 1.088 * 0.5 * (190/( 90 + 92 + 200)) * 2 * 2058 * 1.919 * 0.9 = 1923.45

A1 calc with additive reduction with the pyro dmg bonus from a2: (1.088 - 0.5) * (190/( 90 + 92 + 200)) * 2 * 2058 * 1.919 * 0.9 = 2079.03, same as video

Swirl calc with no reduction applied: 868.1 * 2.586 * 0.9 = 2020.42, same as video

(a1 crits here or otherwise it is doomed)

Significance: Assuming kazuhas level does not approach infinity while the enemy level and/or def does, and assuming def shred/reduction does not approach 100%, the dmg reduction on the quest's cursed blade matters less and less because the def formula would make non transformative or true damage approach 0 anyways. It will not impact transformative or true damage, which both bypass def, so the effect of the dmg reduction is negligible. In such a case kazuha should probably use an em weapon, but at the very least the dmg reduction on the cursed blade will not be very detrimental in these scenarios.
