Damage Values
The following is a list of all damage-dealing Nail attacks, Spells, abilities and Charms the player can use, along with their Damage Values.
- The word "Nail" in the Damage column represents the current damage value of the player's Nail.
- Multipliers that result in a decimal value are always rounded up by the game. (Example: Fury of the Fallen with the Pure Nail does 21 × 1.75 = 36.75 ≈ 37 damage per hit.)
- A forward slash / or an × represents a division of damage due to the attack dealing several hits.
- Where 5 values are shown, it's the health value for each Nail upgrade.

Health Values
The following is a list of all Enemies in the game and their Health Values.
- Enemies with 1 Health may not necessarily have 1 HP, but are immune to tick damage (such as Spore Shroom) and have low enough health that the starting Nail kills them in 1 hit.
- Enemies with "—" health cannot be damaged.
- A forward slash / represents a division of health from that enemy's multiple health pools.
- Parentheses () clarify the nature of that enemy's health.
- Certain enemies and bosses gain HP after the player upgrades the Old Nail. Enemies with this change are noted in parentheses.
