Color Stacking: The Odds

[Garanwyn]

@Kerridoc, @Kikyo, @KnifeWonder, @Ber

I’ve looked at this question a bit now, and I still don’t have a satisfactory answer. It’s clear from @SolemnWolf’s examples section that the attack stats used to be added together and then the exponential applied, exactly as I described above:

@SolemnWolf

Tiles (2 heroes of the attack color)

Attackers: Kiril & Grimm (Att=(725 + 844)x1.1=1726)
Defender 1: Rigard (Def=733x120%=880)
Calculated damage: 1/3x100x(1726/880)^1.35=83 - Damage found: 98
Defender 2: Little John (Def=642x120%=770, weak attack)
Calculated damage: (1/3x100x(1726/770)^1.35)/2=50 - Damage found: 58
Defender 3: Gormek (Def=632x120%=758, powerful attack)
Calculated damage: (1/3x100x(1726/758)^1.35)x2=202 - Damage found: 206 & 218 & 203

But in running my own tests on PvE, this doesn’t seem to be holding up. I can’t tell yet if the problem is:

1. They split out the attacks individually at some point, like Kerridoc suggested

or

2. There really is some linearization of the X^1.35 calculation as damage increases.

It looks, after about 80 sample points, as though #2 is more likely than #1. More research is definitely needed.
