That is one of the “wonders” of the damage formula. Low % damages are significantly reduced, while high % damages get more of their theoretical damage through.
So doing 3 time 70% damage could be say 3 times 100 damage while 210% damage would be 400 damage. It makes no real sense, but that is how the damage formula works, even though nobody knows that exact formula lol.
However in this case, the regular damage hits without the DD, while the passive will hit on the DD, which might make up for the difference, in those 12.5% of cases when the passive actually hits 3 times Usually of course it will hit once or twice, so the damage won´t be than crazy. I see the main value for that triple activation still in the fact that you get a 87.5% chance to apply the attack down.
I can’t remember exactly what it was but I recall reading something that said it’s because each individual hit gets a reduction from the opponent’s defense stat, so a large single attack would only get one reduction vs say 3.
Not true, because scaling is exponential IIRC due to how defense works. So 3 x 70% < 210%. Still, not bad. But last bullet of her skill becomes outright useless because of her passive working so often.
Yeah, I was with it like you, wanting Hathor or Anubis and got Ma’at. So I took her for a test run and was in awe when her passive procced twice so had 3 numbers on each enemy. It’s pretty crazy. Also thank you for reminding me I still use Guan Yu for titans so she would be a straight upgrade, even though I am sick of ascending greens (Ferrus, Myoin-ni, C3-Elkanen, C3-Zeline) yet still somehow having Tonics and also got Siegfried during last Opera. She seems fun.
Before her costume I though she was lacking a little bit of damage especially with new heroes with so much HP, now with costume and new passives she’s back in the game very happy with her
Tbh looking at those numbers this looks pretty promising. Her passive triggering 2 times (like in the picture) means she’s doing 2/3 more damage. That’s pretty good.
