Yup, exponential.
But y = x^4 gives you a parabola, where it curves up on both the positive and negative sides.
It's closer to y = 2^x , but that gives you a steep graph, which doesn't start at 0
Use y = m^n + o, where y is the graph, m is where it starts, and n is how slowly it starts to curve up. o moves the graph up and down.
I could give you a more exact formula if you're trying to do something specific

Every RPG maker needs to know exponentials inside out, just like every platform game maker should know movement physics, and anyone who wants accurate shooting should know basic trigonometry. It helps a lot
I've got 7 of those exponential formulas in my game, at this moment. Plenty more coming soon, but most of them are pretty much the same thing, just with the values changed
