Glenda – 5* Ice/ Blue - November 2020 HOTM (Hero of the Month) -- Initial Release

[Guvnor]

NOTE ON GLENDA’s BUFF!!!

I added a note to the OP but I will write it again so it’s not hidden / Lost

The second line of Glenda’s special skill simply adds 40% to existing damage from special skills.

For example normal Joon does 468% damage to a single target. With Glenda’s buff it becomes 508% damage to a single target.

Additional Explanation & Demonstration

Quoting of below

@Guvnor

The below maths is making use of the Damage Calculation which is explained in great detail in this thread: Damage Calculation

For the purposes of this comparison I will be comparing an Area of Effect Hitter (Azlar) with a Sniper (Joon). The hits will be against an average unemblemed 5* hero on defence. For additional comparison, I will add in a scenario under Kiril’s buff of +30% attack and another under Grimm’s debuff of .

So Scenario 1 = Just the hitter
Scenario 2 = Hitter under Glenda’s buff
Scenario 3 = Hitter under Kiril’s buff.
Scenario 4 = hitter when Grimm’s defence drop is in play.

AOE 5 Hitter – Azlar

Leaving DoT off as this is not affected by any scenario

So from this we can see:

• Glenda Buff:
  • Damage % increased 205% → 245% (1.195 multiplier or 19.5% increase)
  • Increase in direct damage – ~27.3% damage
• Kiril Buff
  • Increased direct damage compared to no buffs – ~42.4%
  • increased direct damage compared to Glenda buff – ~11.9%
• Grimm Debuff
  • Increased direct damage compared to no buffs – ~75.3%
  • Increased direct damage compared to Glenda buff – ~37.8%
  • Increased direct damage compared to Kiril Buff – ~23.1%

Sniper (single target hitter) – Joon

On this one we see:

• Glenda Buff
  • Damage increased from 468% → 508% (1.086 multiplier or a 8.6% increase)
  • increased direct damage – ~11.7%
• Kiril Buff
  • Increased direct damage compared to no buffs – ~42.5%
  • Increased direct damage compared to Glenda Buff – ~27.6%
• Grimm Debuff
  • Increased direct damage compared to no buffs – ~75.3%
  • Increased direct damage compared to Glenda buff – ~57.0%
  • Increased direct damage compared to Kiril Buff – ~23.0%

Summary

What we can take away from this in summary is:

1. An attack buffing hero (or defence dropping hero) will have more of an impact in terms of the damage dealt than Glenda’s buff…
   This is plain and simply because the multiplier in the damage calculation is much much smaller…
   Glenda gave a 1.086 multiple for Joon and a 1.195 multiple for Azlar… Compare that to kiril who gives a 1.3 multiple each time…
2. The LOWER the original damage percentage, the bigger impact Glenda has.
   Again, this comes back to the effective multiplier in the damage calculation being bigger… As we saw in the examples above, +40% on 205% is a bigger change than +40% onto 468%… Thus a bigger end impact to the damage dealt.
3. Defence dropping heroes have a biiiigggg impact.
   Just because of the way that the damage calculation is processed with a large multiplier on the top of the fraction (the damage percentage).
   This is a major factor in why Costume Kiril is better for dealing damage than normal Kiril (in a straight comparison…)
4. AOE type heroes get the most benefit from Glenda for two reasons;
   first is because they have a lower initial damage % compared to snipers.
   Second is because they target more enemies; thus have that increase
