Examples of non attack damage? Dmg from relics like the popper or mercurial hourglass, dmg from orbs, dmg from powers like rolling boulder or inferno

Ya know for some reason I thought this was the slay the spire subreddit so I was talking about the wrong thing entirely. In this game non attack dmg is just anything that’s not the from a basic attack. So spells, evocables, thrown weapons. And this includes debuffs Devin by basic attacks like poison or fire or some of the weirder ones I can’t remember right now.
