How to Get More DMG
Stigma Affix
You can get a max of 138 ATK from refining your stigma affix. This is equal to 1/4 of a PRI-ARM weapon ATK stat.

Acceptable ATK Stat
As a new player, you won’t have a lot of materials to refine stigma affix. So, something like this is good enough.

Dorm Bonus
Levelling up your Dorm EXP will grant you bonus stats for all characters. The bonus include: ATK, Total DMG, Physical DMG and Elemental DMG buff.

How to increase Dorm EXP
Unlock and rank up as many characters as you can from Asterite Shop, War Treasury, etc. Do note that A-rank valks have a limit. You can check it in the Dorm menu.

Divine Keys / Stellar Keys
In Honkai Impact, there are special weapons called Divine Keys / Stellar Keys. You can view them in Divine Keys menu.

Divine Keys are Part 1 weapons, Stellar Keys are Part 2 weapons.
- Gacha Divine Keys give global +10 ATK, each.
- Gacha Stellar Keys give global +10 / 15 / 20 ATK each, based on the synergy rank.
When these ATK stack up, they can give a bonus equal to having a second weapon on your valk!

Image above shows my current bonus ATK from all the divine keys = 159 ATK. That is equal to around maxed out ATK affix from a stigma set, or just below a Lv50 weapon ATK stat!
Gene Limit Buffs
Divine Keys also grant global damage buffs through Gene Limit.

How to Get Divine Keys
1. Realms of Battle
You can get these F2P divine keys from Realms of Battle mode. Even after you already got them all, keep doing this mode every week to get the upgrade materials. Note that the upgrade cost is very expensive for a new player - just take your time.

2. Exchange Shop
You can get Oath of Judah from Exchange Shop.

You need Weapon Resonance to exchange for Judah. Weapon Resonance used to be a common currency in Part 1 - you can get Weapon Resonance by converting Part 1 gacha weapons, and you can easily get weapons from Part 1 gacha.
This is not the case anymore, since Part 2 supplies do not give Part 1 gacha weapons.
So, how do you get Weapon Resonance now? You can forge ‘Bounty Weapons’ in Foundry, and convert them to Weapon Resonance. Out of all the Bounty Weapons, 3rd Sacred Relic has the lowest Honkai Piece cost.

3. Battle Pass
These Divine Keys are available in Battle Pass. They cost 10 Crystallum each, which is equal to 2 patches worth for F2P players.

Do note that some of these Divine Keys have been given for free in the past, and may be available in major spending event (happens twice a year). Only get the Divine Keys above from BP if you can’t wait that long.
4. Foundry
Pledge of Sakura, Abyss and Fenghuang Pinions are forgeable from Foundry.
5. Supply
Stellar Keys are only available in supply.
6. Not Available
The rest of the divine keys are currently unobtainable. Just wait for them to be added in Battle Pass.
Emblem
Some emblems give bonus stats and damage buffs. The most commonly used emblems are the Abyss emblems. You may not have these as a new player, so just equip any emblem that you have.

For Elysian Realm (ER), the Flame-Chaers emblems give significant damage boost. Always remember to equip it when doing your ER run. The max HP is great especially if you are using Decimation signets.
