The formula at the top seems to contradict my findings. I did an experiment a few days ago.

The spirits used in the experiment were Isabeli(+8) and Akari(+8). Because I was using a team of Asmodeus, Tripsabeli and Akari, all fully released except Akari who was only missing her last Hidden Power, they had a total of +600 fire ATK Hidden Powers. Therefore, each Isabeli had 3442 ATK.

After running 1-1-1 a bunch of times, these were my results (nukes used on the boss spirits, who were all fire): Without Akari's boost: 8137 - 9252 With Akari's boost: 9325 - 11241 Difference: 1188 - 1989

This is in line with my previous theory on how SS boosts work (and which I don't believe anyone's actually looked into 'til now). SS boosts, when used in conjunction with nukes, will take X0% of a spirit's base ATK and then multiply it by the elemental multiplier of the enemy spirit and then tack that on the nuke. In other words, you skip the step where you divide by 2.

Say you have a spirit with 2000 ATK and a nuke. Their nuke has a 150% multiplier. Using a 40% Special Skill boost, their damage would be as follows when used against the element they're strong against: (2000 * 1,5 * 1,5) + (2000 * 0,4 * 1,5) = 5700 (1200 points of bonus damage)

The formula can't possibly be ATK(Skill Multiplier+Boost) since Isabeli's Special Skill multiplier is 2.6x, so if the formula is indeed as stated at the top, the difference in damage with Akari's boost should be 5369 points of damage, which is isn't even close to being.
