### Notes

* The priority order in which PvP damage multipliers are calculated is always the same: `GeneralDamageRatePvP` → `DamageRatePvP` of the attacking class → `<Class1>`DamageRateTo`<Class2>` matrix → and finally only one of the special contexts (Duel, Gens, Custom Arena, Chaos Castle, Illusion Temple, or Castle Siege — in that specific priority order; the first one that matches is the only one applied).
* Castle Siege code only truly exists in `GameServerCS.exe` — the mechanics for this event (including `CastleSiegeDamageRate1`/`2`) are conditionally compiled and do not exist in the standard `GameServer.exe`. Modifying these keys inside the regular `GameServer\` directory has no effect; they only work within the `GameServerCS\` directory.
* Global caps (`Max...Rate`) always limit the values before applying individual class multipliers (`ReflectDamageRate`, etc.) — never after.
