Formula

Damage on a "hit" = (INT*5*SkillLv + Random(500~1000)) + (((ATK*SkillLv)*(100-Enemy DEF) - Enemy VIT) (Elemental Modifier)

Damage on a "miss" = INT*5*SkillLv + Random(500~1000)

In plain text: Soul Destroyer has 2 parts to it's damage which add to each other in the end. One part is based on your INT (read: not MATK), and the other is based on your ATK (minus the left-hand weapon's ATK). Both are actually considered, by the game's coding, to be Ranged Physical attacks.

INT part

• The base damage follows the formula: [(INT * 5 * Skill Level) + Random(500~1000)].
• Never misses.
• Is non-elemental. No, not Neutral, but "non-elemental" meaning it is 100% unaffected by element of the target. This means that it will do 100% to Ghost element.
• Because of the way it is coded, Immune(Raydric Card) DOES affect this portion.
• It is affected by Thara Frog Card, Horn Card and Poo.
• Is not affected by MDEF, Maya Card or Golden Thief Bug Card.
• Is not affected by any +% Damage Cards such as Vadon, Hydra, Skel Worker, Turtle General, etc.

ATK part

• The base damage follows the formula: [(Total ATK - Left Hand Weapon's ATK) * Skill Level]
• Can miss, depending on your hit and your target's FLEE, just like a normal attack.
• Takes on the elemental property of your weapon (if you are dual wielding it takes on the element of the Right Hand).
• Is affected by target's DEF and VIT.
• Is affected by all cards affecting any normal attack's damage (Immune, Cranial, Horn, Poo)
• Applies any defense-bypassing weapons such as Ice Pick or Combat Knife. Ice Pick's damage mods apply as well.
• Is not affected by any +% Damage Cards such as Vadon, Hydra, Skel Worker, Turtle General, etc.
• Note that +ATK from any weapon Cards do apply, even if other parts of the card do not. Skel Worker's +15% on Medium does not apply, but it's +5 ATK does.

Add those two up and you get the final damage.

Notes

• Being ranged, the skill is completely blocked by Pneuma.
• EDP does not affect Soul Destroyer's damage in any way.
• +% Cards do not affect Soul Destroyer's damage in any way.
• Status cards' effects do not carry.
• Ice Pick affects only the physical part.
• Items that allow your attacks to bypass the target's defense, such as Combat Knife and Ceaser's Sword apply in either hand.
• Zipper Bear's SP cost-per-attack does carry through to SD. One for each Zipper Bear Card.
• You cannot use any other skills during the after-cast delay.
• Cast Time can be reduced by DEX, Suffragium, various Cards and Magic Strings.
• When dual wielding and casting Soul Destroyer, you are not penalized for the lack of Righthand Mastery or Lefthand Mastery skills.
• The ONLY ATK that does not apply is that of any left-hand weapon.
• The Sign (accessory) does not affect Soul Destroyer's damage.
• When dual weilding, the atk value of your support weapon will not contribute to Soul Destroyer's damage. Only atk cards will have effect.
