Damage over time for defense teams

Is DoT increased for defending team? I fought a JF with same atk but their DoT was much higher

Defenders have 20% more base attack and defense, DoT scales with attack… so you’ll get an empowered defender’s DoT.

Have a read of this

Understanding DoT (Damage over Time)

What is DoT? While many special skills have an instantaneous affect, others cause an effect that occurs over multiple turns. Currently, these effects can last anywhere from 2 to 6 turns. Special skills that decrease an opponents health are referred to as DoT, or Damage over Time. How is DoT inflicted? Different heroes inflict DoT in various ways.

Maximus doesn’t help unfortunately. Fra we had very similar base attacks after accounting for troops and talents. This is of course not counting buffs that don’t affect DoT. I think DoT is increased 20% for defending hero AFTER base attack adjustments. Can anyone confirm?

[Guvnor]

DoT is dependent on the attack stat of the hero.

three things affect this:

1. The hero level (hero at 4/80 > hero at 2/60)
2. The troops used (level 30 mana troop > level 30 crit troop. similarly level 30 mana troop > level 10 mana troop)
3. The Defence Team Bonus; +20% to base stats.

the link that @Dudeious.Maximus put above explains the relationship between DoT & the attack stat.

NOTE: Attack buff & debuff from hero specials do NOT affect DoT amount.
