Colors in damage numbers, What do they mean?

[Guvnor]

Hiya;

So I will break this up into two sections; the numbers appearing on the other team & the numbers appearing on your (the attacker) team.

OTHER Team

i.e. the Defending team in a raid, the Titan, the mobs in map farming etc…

Red = Strong Damage (2x Normal Damage)
Yellow = Normal Damage
Grey = “Weak” damage (0.5x Normal Damage)
Teal = Crit Damage (2x Normal Damage)

Note on “Strong” or “Weak” damage AND Crit at the same time:

@Guvnor

Critical Damage is a Multiplier which is applied the BASE damage calculation when successful (NOTE: per post by @Dwimmerlaik, the Elemental Resistance is applied separately).

The Multiple on the BASE DAMAGE (pre elemental resistance) is 2.0 * Normal Damage .

• For “Strong” elemental hits it becomes: 200 damage, critical hit: 300 damage (100 base * 2 for strong + 100 crit)
• For “Weak” elemental hits it becomes: 50 damage, critical hit: 150 damage (100 base * 0.5 + 100 crit)

On YOUR Team

Here the colours mean something different.

Redy Orange = Damage (either from slashes, Minions, skills etc… There is no “elemental strong or weak” colours)
Green = Healing
Teal = Crit Damage
Light Blue = Over-Heal (i.e. from a Health Boost Hero like Gullinbursti or Heimdall)
