Peglin damage is built in layers: the orb’s base value, the pegs it hits, crit pegs, and whatever your relics add on top.
The base layer
Each orb carries a per-peg damage value. The board multiplies it by the number of pegs touched.
Crits
Crit pegs are marked on the board. Hitting one boosts the damage of that orb, sometimes sharply. Relics that add crits or raise crit damage scale this further.
Why multipliers beat flat damage
A relic that adds damage once is fine. A relic that adds damage per peg scales with the whole board, which is why per-peg effects run away with a run.
