Critical Damage - A Short Guide to Understanding

[maverickpianist84]

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but have not seen this covered elsewhere in this topic.

I’m currently embleming Boril and the critical chance option is placed at #19 on his Talent Grid. Does this apply only to Boril’s normal (weak) attacks or also to counterattacks?

Thanks in advance

[Zathrus]

Only normal. Counterattacks can’t crit.

Edit: but attacks on someone with counter can, which is then used as the base for the counter. Same for reflect. But that’s their crit chance, not yours.

[maverickpianist84]

Thank you Zathrus! It seems like Mana Recovery would then be the best option for Boril in that final pathway.

If red hero attacks green and critical damage succeed, the total damage is 2 * 2 * 100. Is this right calculation?

[Guvnor]

Not quite:

@Guvnor

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)

Should have fixed that image sorry.

There is a new hero now offering critical damage buff for all:

Does the Miss chance also work the same way on a colorstack?

[Abel]

AND Bleed chance?? ___

[Abel]

I really don’t think this is how a forum is supposed to work. Won’t anyone answer?

[Vikingblood80]

@Abel

Won’t anyone answer?

Could you be more specific in your questions? So far I did not understand what you want to know.

[Mr_Style_Points]

Yes, this is correct to my understanding of how it works. Certainly for bleed, but I’d have to double check blind

Critical Damage - A Short Guide to Understanding

Crit troops do not stack total percentage, but the way that each matched tile is assigned to the troop of a specific attacker of that color implies that the crit is also probably tied to the crit value of whomever each tile is assigned to. So if you have two blue heroes, one with a mana troop and zero crit chance and the other with a crit troop and 10% crit chance, the effective odds of a crit from any given tile is 5%. Once it is matched and assigned to one hero or the other, it is either a 10%…

@Abel

Miss chance

Miss chance refers to if the hero is blinded or not.

Let’s say you have 2 heroes of the same color…one is blinded (35% miss) one is not. If the tile randomly refers to the non blinded hero the tile will always hit. If the tile is assigned to the blinded hero it has only a 65% chance to hit.

So on average a tile will hit 82.5% of the time i.e. miss 17.5% of the time.

I would not call it stacking but just looking at the average.

Okay. Thanks a lot for that thread. One thing I don’t seem yet to find an answer. Does critical chance apply to damage with Special Skill? The definition given seems to exclude it but İ wanted to be sure.

[ferg]

Damage done with special skill can never be critical.

[Nal94]

Thanks

@Nal94

Does critical chance apply to damage with Special Skill?

Tis covered in the OP:

@Guvnor

Essentially Critical Damage is a boosted attack that CAN apply to normal attacks made by heroes. In offence this is Tile Damage (i.e. when you throw tiles / shields at the enemy). In Defence this can come in the form of the Slash Attacks.

Special skills are not normal attack thus they do not have the chance to crit.

[Nal94]

yes. I wanted to be double sure haha. Thank you. Because we were having a discussion and someone was stubborn saying giving crit troops to snipers (on defense) would boost their chance of OS opponents with their skills. I was opposed but wanted to bring formal evidence.

[Kafkafxer]

Now that hotm Alexandrine turns shields to 50%+ critical chance, it makes the calculation for blue coloured teams tile damage even more complicated

[A-Sweden]

After reading all posts, I am still confused.

If all the 5 heroes use mana troops, and one is e.g. G Chameleon. Will the tiles get +36% increased critical chance or not?

Ps. I understand that critical is only applied to normal attack (tile) and not special attack.

Happy gaming
