Thanks and wow!

I technically could have hit 5 mil in 234 battles: some went to 30K damage, but some didn't get over 10K - I expect I might be right on the bubble :(.

300 battles and ~425k DMG. I'm pleased, even though my armory isn't very good.

My main battler is less than 100 stats away from T12! And I just realized it.

awesome wins :) Nice loot and tokens :D congrats!

I forgot how fun reading this forum can be! that's not why I dropped by, but seeing faces I know won't think I'm too much of a ditz makes me smile lol!nn (friendly pings) and anyone who may know.. Do anyof yall know if theres a page blog post whatever that can help me understand the variables that affect icon damage?

Thing is using two weapons with a set amount of icons did damage that ranged from 1600s to over 3k. I can't figure out how there could be such a gap in damage against a frozen opponent.

Im one of those who like knowing what to expect from my weapon's. Missing the 2nd version of the spirit ticked me off and I decided to go with a keep em frozen until you run out of ice strategy. Im on my cell so I don't know the official name of the staff from fighting the messed up version of Jaxon - it does a solid 44 icons, right? So does the chronos.

The only thing I can think of are blessings/curses but they werent anything I considered major a d the blade has the 25 stat increase. Is that the variable or am I missing something? It drove (drives) me crazy not knowing.

Shoot, I think I missed top 50 ;_;

it should be a constant damage against a frozen opponent, you're probably experiencing some crits with curses mixed in :)

damage formula is something like

sqrt(str)/4.2 * icons

no rng involved

If Kiyo was frozen, you should have been doing about 3k+. Whenever the freeze failed or something, it's possible Kiyo used the Ethereal Shield which was knocking my attacks to the 1500-2000 range. Otherwise small variations could occur from curses or the icon ranges on the weapon but other the occasional critical hit that would be it.

Ungodly Level: 60 Health: 150 / 150 Strength: 150 Defense: 152 Speed: 150 Intelligence: 578 Tier: 3

Smallest battler just hit tier 3 and I didn't even realize it. Not bad, they grow up so fast... kinda. Ha-ha!

I have no clue, but see others have offered some ideas on the discrepancy. I do know MrCool's blog has a section on weapons but I don't know if that is what you are looking for. I haven't really looked at that part of his blog yet.

I should be a lot better at figuring those things out but I've never really cared. More icons + more strength = more damage

I agree with what's been said. You shouldn't have been seeing much variation in damage as long as you kept her frozen!

I thought crits always showed up in the battle banter, maybe it doesnt then? When I started recording the difference in damage I was really paying attention to what was in the box and when I did above 5k it would say the Lady got a critical strike but nothing when she did around 3300.

It's most likely nothing but I cant figure out how there could be 1400 icon gap (give or take) - the only thing that was consistent was the heal.

well shoot! I was hoping you had so I could pick your brain but I'll have to have a look for myself cuz this drives me nuts.

I went with as direct of an approach as possible. Attacker, freezer, surge scroll, survive. Then it was straight up staff/blade shriek, lather - rinse - repeat. If the shriek didnt freeze her, I hid behind a vortex to try to freeze her again, so on and so forth. I should have gotten some screenies so I could look back and try to figure it out but of course I didn't. Every round showed Kiyo as 0/0 so she was definitely frozen.

You Won! You have defeated Prodigy 5 times! Prodigy drops: Tome of Light Tome of Water Quark Prodigy Staff The Void Scroll Tome of Darkness You earned 32805 sP for beating Prodigy! Kolja earned 4724 EXP Points!

forgot i hadn't hit 5 since stats were cleared. the fifth battle was a big stressful because i accidentally started it without switching out some of my weapons (and i forgot to readd pylonics). but whatever, kolja's got high enough HP that he can endure most of prod's crits, i guess. go figure.

I want to believe I did well but yeah it's hard to tell. I know some battles for a fact when I was paying attention I got over 10k damage when I could, 20k for longer battles and perhaps 30k total for those lucky battles were Gelaspell chain froze for me. Granted I was trying out all kinds of tricks and weapon combos but I did know I did a lot of 2.2-3.6k damage rounds.

My only crit was a 10k one. Only a few battles lasted less than 3 rounds and about maybe 5 were 1 hit KO'd rounds by her. So yeah I really don't know.

I look back on my old boss battle numbers to see if that helped but eh... I don't think it's accurate enough. Considering she blocks/deals out different damage than the others.

Huge congrats!~

I don't actually think they always show up. I know someone else mentioned to me in the last couple weeks that they did a lot of damage on a non crit.

Tainted Keeper Skull Staff

again:

tested it out, skull staff does NOT do constant icons.

ice icons seem to vary from 6-14

thanks! and assuming you used dameon for all your battles, you probably ranked higher than i did. sounds like we were probably dealing in the same ballpark as far as average damage, and i know you did more battles than me, so i'd say you've probably got nothing to worry about

the str>def version of the staff seems to do constant damage for me.

602 for Dameon and just 16 for my t12 but that was just for the heck of it and I am not worried about 'top prizes' for him lol. I dunno when it comes to boss battles I just get very... nervous.

I should say I'm using the def > str version

if str > def is constant, should be getting constant icons from it. seems like the only variance in damage could come from blessings/curses, crits, and possibly a scroll that isn't constant

which category are you in? The Lady's str is greater than her def and I swear it was a constant attack. I didnt pay attention to the def. icons, they didn't matter with the opponent frozen.

It can't be crits not showing up in the banter box, with no curse/blessings I was doing 88 icons against a frozen opponent. That should have been more than 1649, 1652 ect right? I hate math but it looks like I best go have a look at the guide before I say that for certain lol

Im sure you did pretty good, sounds like you got a lot of battles in
