Title: Questions about Defense on SO WARS
Post by: kspoosh on June 11, 2009, 04:58:56 PM
ok so ive heard that defense now resists 5x the actual amount shown, and costs 50x more than hp. that said, i would also like to know when the absorb comes into play. after the attack on defense, or during, or before. because is absorb is applyed to defense and hp, that would make it 2 times as effective.

please reply


thanks

Absorb is applied before considering anything else on the defending fleet.

Defence is added up across the entire fleet, though. Unlike health, which is compared on a ship-by-ship basis.

basically consider it this way - assuming 80% abs for simplicity purposes, if the attack attacks with 5 attack, then after abs, there is 1 attack to go against (in order) defense and if it gets through that it goes through hp.

kinda having a dislexic moment, (dislexics of the world untie!) (dislexics are teople poo), but here it is simpler


attack -> abs divides attack - def - hp

ok thanks. also, say you have 10 fleets with 1 defense each and 1 ship each.


does the first fleet get 10 defense or just 1?

Each ship has 1 defense. It ships defense * number of ships in fleet. Not ships defense * number of fleets

do you mean ships or fleets?

fleets are always separate stats, but if you have 10 ships in ONE fleet with 1 def each, then the effective defense is a whole 10, not 10 separate ones if that makes sense. meaning more than 10 damage has to be dealt to go over to HP

ok that makes sense. i just thought that defense could be added onto every fleet, and that a defense fleet could protect an attack fleet. that would be cool. maybe i should put it in the suggestion forum
