Damage

Creatures can use abilities to inflict damage on enemies. Attack damage is applied immediately while effect damage is applied separately afterward.

Damage must be either physical or venom. Only the male scientist and certain hybrid are currently confirmed to inflict true damage, which ignores damage modifications.


Area damage

AOE attacks may inflict damage on multiple enemies over a certain area at once. The affected area is calculated from the target.

Splash attacks will inflict less damage on non-targeted enemies if they aren't within a certain radius from the main target. The formula hasn't been revealed.


Damage modifications

  • AOE resistance: Creatures with this stat can reduce taken damage if they are over 10 units away from the main target.
  • Armor: Creatures with this stat can reduce taken damage by a flat amount.
  • Resistance: Creatures with physical resistance or venom resistance can reduce taken damage from same-typed attacks by a certain percentage.
  • Piercing: Creatures with this stat can reduce the resistance of their enemies in damage calculation.
  • Maximum taken damage: Creatures with this stat can only take a certain maximum amount of damage from each attack.
  • Evasion: Creature with this stat have certain chance to evade attacks and skip damage calculation.


Damage formula

Total damage is calculated based on this formula.

Total damage = [base damage x splash percentage x (100% - AOE resistance) - armor] x (100% - [physical or venom resistance - piercing])

The value of [resistance - piercing] must be positive. The value of [damage - armor] must have a minimum value of 0.5.

An instant of damage in damage-over-time effects is treated as an attack of its own.

Examples

The attacker deals 5 physical damage initially. It also deals 10 venom damage every 0.5 second for 2 seconds afterward. The defender has 20% physical resistance and 10% venom resistance.

=> Attack damage = 5 x (1 - 0.2) = 4.

=> Effect damage = 10 x (1 - 0.1) x 2 / 0.5 = 36.

=> Total damage = 4 + 36 = 40.

If the defender can only take maximum of 3 damage per hit, the total damage becomes: 3 + 3 x 2 / 0.5 = 15.
