As far as I know, the damage formula for CQ is like this: (daemon's attack - boss's defense) / 2.

3X function is to increase your daemons' attack by 3 times so the formula will become like this [3(daemon's attack) - boss's defense] / 2.

Using Cat Sith[Circus]'s stats and lets make boss's def 4k. The damage Cat Sith will be (15500-4000)/2=5750 at normal attack and [3(15500)-4000]/2=21250 with 3X. As you can see, 3X provides more than 3 times of damage at least. The amount of bonus damage will differ between each cards. Normally, the higher of the boss's defense and lower of your deamons' attack will receive a bigger damage multiplier.

A rule of thumb is that if you can afford more than 4 full teams worth of damage, 3X is not for you. It is mostly for those with low total AS and DS.
