Dragon arrows on Skel archers VS Hunters

[Johannes]

I understand the difference between damage value and attack and wrote very specificly attack. My point was that your Attack value vs Oponents Defense value decides what % bonus you get to your Damage value. Since the relation between any positive value (like 1) vs 0 is infinity I asumed infinity would be enough to hit the 300% cap. I'm still not sure though if the damage will be 4-6 x 3 or 1-2 x 3 +3-4 (- is range not minus here).

Anyways, a picture says more than a thousen words and three pictures makes everything very clear:

(dragon arrows don't work on thorn-hunters)


(the black dragon stack crit me for 16k and killed the entire stack before they got a chance to act in the first turn)


(normal hit on the low side with lvl3 dragon slayer on, enough to devastate all dragon stacks)

In conclusion I think they'll be fine without dragon arrows which is nice but will probably need some babysitting.

It is not the ratio that matters, it is the difference. 1 Attack versus 0 defense gets you (1-0) * 3.3% = 3.3% bonus to damage. The formula is (attack - defense) * 3.3% = % bonus. You don't divide your attack by your opponents defense.

Jwall is correct- attack to defense is difference, not a ratio.

Dragon Arrows isn't THAT uber/busted.

FYI, whenever you use things like whip and dagger, the lower the based damage, the bigger the benefit, obviously.

So if you're going to tie-up your weapon slots with those, you definitely should go with the most weenie army you can find.
