Damage Issues on Epic Boss

[Lys]

So, last Epic Boss, I didn't do much of it. However, I very clearly recall doing between 600 and 625 damage with a free hit.

This Epic Boss, same equipment, same stats, my free hit is now doing 98 damage.

Umm... what? Can someone explain what's going on here?

EDIT - Just did a gold hit. From what was low 900s, I'm now doing 117. I just don't get what drugs GREE is on. If I ever need to put my life in a deathspiral, I should ask for the name of whatever they're on though.

I think you're still doing the same damage. The explanation for 98 damage is that the boss health was just 98. And then the boss health was 117, thus your seeing those numbers. This is just my guess and speculation.

This is correct. Believe it or not, it looks like Gree did not mess this one up--they just failed to communicate the change, so we (somehow!) did not give them the benefit of the doubt.

My damage is approximately the same and it looks like the epic boss escalates at about the same rate.

Correct! This way we can see the exact damage needed for each boss!

Although I'm hitting with more damage this time, I got one less single, free hit kills than last time, so it seems the Bosses got stronger.

The boss is capped this time, may be from 60 - 65 on, great step back, thanks GREE.
Last boss was a desater this seems to be fair, on 67 actual.
The rewards are good for the box event too.

My free hit went up ( due to my armor Attack item upgrade ) and I got to level 17 on one free hit. The new way has worked out better for me , but I see where the top players who have crafted ( or won ) the best new units would be frustrated that they can't increase their Attack right now .

Sorry to say the boss' helath is not capped:

37. 1580
40. 1755
41. 1833
42. 1911
43. 1989
44. 2067
46. 2223
47. 2301
48. 2379
49. 2457
50. 2535
51. 2633
52. 2730
53. 2828
54. 2925
55. 3023
56. 3120
57. 3218

62. 3704

68. 4290
69. 4388


94. 7800
95. 8190
96. 8580

This is for levels 160 to at least level 220

Before, boss health used to be capped for the sole reason that Gree could not use a bigger integer number - 2^31, or ~2.1b. Considering we're a long way from 2.1b in boss health, I wouldn't expect to see a cap below L100 for quite some time.

Any suggestions for improving damage on EB? Adding to Hero Strength does little to nothing (added 4 to Strength and my damage improved by 1) and there are no other items I can craft or buy to improve attack stats.
Also, how is damage determined? It's clearly not the Hero Equipment attack stats because my Equip is much greater than the damage I get.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This has been discussed thoroughly and the formula is known. Look around.

I don't have levels 1-15. Also, there is no cap yet. The red Baron was wrong.

One more thing. I don't know if boss health is different depending on your level like it used to be. These numbers are correct for people in my guild from 150 to 250.

[The red Baron]

Yes my fault, was wishfull thinkung, had some bosses with he same number of hits, but no cap. For me its a little bit better as last event as i have now crafted 4 epic items. On legendary now.

[Acadian]

pretty much your damage is yout total equipment attack plus half of your skill. This equals a gold attack. substract 1/3and that is pretty much your free hit.

[truthteller]

for level 192 boss EB is 10,140

I kill the boss with 12 gold hits at 778 = 9,336 PLUS 2 free hits ones does 522 and last kill does 282

9,336 + 522 + 282 = 10,140

Thanks Acadian.��
