Percent Boosting Mechanics Clarification

[Anchuri]

Hello. I have been trying to figure out how the percentage boosts work in the game. My finding so far is that the talent boosts only take the base hero stat into account. So a 1000 hp Melendor getting the 3% talent will always only get 30 hp.

However troops seem to be added on after the talented stats. Using this information I made a rough calculation to check if Horghall would ever get over 2k and it seems to be the case that he can. I just wanted to post here to get any confirmation if others have found it to be this way. Cheers.

Yes, that’s my understanding as well.

Here are a couple spots this was discussed:

@KLinMayhem

Not a mistake. 4* hero needs at least 1200 base HP to match 36 point health talent option from that 3% health bump.

@SamwiseTheBrave

And it’s based off of the base HP, so boosting it beforehand doesn’t affect this.

When I was testing it was always +% of the base stat. How I choose to upgrade before that never impacted how much stat boost I got.

@zephyr1

Do you mean testing in beta, or you upgraded a hero now in the live release and it didn’t change?

I’m wondering, because it seemed like @Kerridoc was saying otherwise.

Kerridoc:

FThe “x” nodes increase a stat by a % — a multiplier, whence the “x”. So if you’ve boosted defense a lot in earlier nodes, then this x node will give you more benefit.

@Kamikaze_Assassin

Testing in Beta. I tested that specifically when working on the formula for my upgrade tool

@Kamikaze_Assassin

Even if it is the other way it’s a very small difference. If you focus on maxing health of a barbarian you can increase it by 36hp 5times… so 180hp. Then the final node health % bonus increases 4%… 4% of 180 is 7.2 extra hp… plus 4% of the base to start.

Attack and defense would be even less.

Yes, that’s correct.

Talent Grid upgrades effectively enhance the base stats for battle. So they interact the same way with troops, other boosts, and even DoT the same way as normal base stats do.
