none of those count towards PVE CR! Only the five base stats, ie str, int, fort, vit, will. Regular gems, Paragon boosts, HP boosts, etc. It is calculated in a simple way - total base stats (NOT including resonance) plus legendary gem direct CR boost plus Helliquary direct CR boost. Your CR is a strength rating for your character, but also so much more than just that.

So first some data on how CR, specifically PVE Combat Rating (there’s also a PVP CR, but it’s fairly meaningless), works. Basically, this is all the stuff I wanted to know but didn’t until I sat down to figure it out, so for anyone who is in my shoes, here you go! Lucky for y’all, I have some here, along with a definitive explanation for CR, which isn’t really discussed much in game despite how important it is. Real figures about power scaling in this Reddit are sorely lacking, tbh, especially in the context of swiping.
