What factors into the damage your pet does on Unison?

It may not be the exact formula that is used...

Here are the results from a bit of testing I did. I tried multiple levels of GS, but only two classes (Lancer/Archer). I didn't collect a ton of data, only 10 attacks for each GS/Class combo. I didn't count attacks that: critically hit, benefited from elemental bonuses, or had skills benefit their damage (testaments and such). I went to Stage 1 Quest 1, and tried to find out the Mag/Phys defense of the enemies using this formula. Since we know 3/4 of the variables in this equation (my ATK, Skill Damage multiplier, Actual Damage dealt) we should be able find the mag/phys flat defense of the enemies we attack!

Test 1: I took my lancer and fiddled with her gear until she had about 2k ATK, it ended up being 2,002, but that was as close as I could get! I only used the ability "Sting" which has an ability power of 140, so a x 1.4 multiplier. I used Sting 10 times, on the same enemy, from the same quest. The average damage dealt in a single attack out of those ten hits was 1,150. So let's take that average damage dealt and throw it into the equation!

If x = FLAT mag/phys flat defence of the enemy

1.4 * 2,002 - x = 1,150

2,802.80 - x = 1,150

2,802.80 - 1,150 = x

1652 = x

So this tells us that the poor defenseless 'mins I was beating up have about 1650 mag/phys defense. IF this formula is correct... I should be able to change up my stats, and still find the enemies mag/phys defense at 1650ish

Test 2: Lancer, using Sting, with as close to 5,000ATK as possible. Same ten attacks, against the same enemy. Things didn't go so well. My average damage dealt by Sting with this setup was around 3,200 damage.

1.4 * 5,004 - x = 3,200

7,005.6 - x = 3,200

7,005.6 - 3,200 = x

3,805.6 = x

Uh, oh.

Test 3: Archer,balanced 2.2k ATK/MATK, using Circle Snipe, same ten attacks on the same enemy. Now I'm following the original formula a bit closer with this set up, so maybe I can get some consistent results.

Circle Snipe hits twice, and uses physical and magic damage. My stats are super balanced so both parts of the attack hit for almost exactly the same. The average of each hit was 680, so 1,360 is our overall damage dealt in one attack.

Here's where I wasn't sure about something, should I use my MATK or ATK score? Should I take the average of them? Do I add them together? Original formula just says "attack stat", so I'll try that since it's in reference to an archer as well.

0.8 * 2,266 - x = 1,360

1,812.8 - x = 1,360

1,812.8 - 1,360 =
