Olmor already posted this but I guess it could be useful: Understanding DoT (Damage over Time)

@littleKAF

How do buffs and troops affect DoT?

While buffs affect slash/tile attacks and special skills, they do not affect DoT damage. For example:

• Attack buffs (such as that received from Brienne) will increase the initial hit delivered but will not increase the DoT amount.
• Defense buffs (such as that received from Kiril) will decrease the damage delivered by the initial hit but will not decrease the DoT amount.
• Counterattacks (such as part of Obakan’s special) will reflect a portion of the initial hit but will not reflect the DoT damage.

While buffs do not affect DoT, troops do. For example, below is an image of Gravemaker’s card with 7 talents following the offensive path. Note the DoT is 310 over 2 turns.

When paired with the following troop that offers a 22% increase to your attack, you can see that this is applied in the field for 378 damage over 2 turns.

Understanding this can help you maximize your use of DoT heroes.
