This will, in fact, change the damage. Assuming you're talking about Weapon ATK in total, you're going to see numbers that are usually between 80~120 going into this equation, and going by an average of 100 Weapon ATK, that's 105 damage that's going to be bypassing armor, compared to the 70 damage that a build with 50 scaled STR would pump out.

However, since Hidden Cut isn't exactly merciful on momentum (if you can't hit them and have 3M left, you aren't activating that passive), and the damage usually dealt probably won't bypass a critical combo, I think it wouldn't kill us to try out a Hidden Cut that uses Weapon ATK instead of Scaled STR.
