    Most likely they actually have over 1Bn attack but Gree ran out of numbers for the stats

    Was going to ask if it was a billion and just the glitch in numbers
    Is there anyway to tell beside losing to them?

    The apparent massive discrepancy between low(?) attack and high defence is what I use. Other than that, only going through their inventory with a calculator..........

    Let's just say no one who works for Gree is or was a math major in college. Nuff said. (Or Computer Sciences, or Software Engineering, or...)

    Cause a big spinning wheel of random chance didn't test well with the focus groups?

    Because the dragons who keep track sometimes get sleepy and stop watching the Internets web wide world thingy.

    Considering everyone at Gree are certified geniuses in every aspect of the business, this has to be the answer! Thanks!

    With 1.2 billion attack - 15% is 180 million - so when people say - QUALIFY YOUR CLAIM with your defense stats and their attack stats - that's why they want to know - so someone can do the 15% math and shed some light on why 50 million or 180 million difference sounds like a legit loss.

    So in my case - if in an extreme "random" multiplier I got the -15% and my opponent with 714m defense got the +15% - that could be 180 million plus 180 million - or 360 million difference that could result in a loss on my part.

    Or or at least that's a stab at how I understand it to work :/
    Don't whine about a problem unless you're prepared to offer a reasonable solution.

    As most people are mentioning, there is a random multiplier within the algorithm. Gree explain this is to represent the "Dice Roll" element of gaming.

    This allows outrageous victories and heart-breaking losses, which happen in other games. Like me, 99.9% of this forum would have played D&D, WoW or some other game where dice rolls create noble victories or numbing defeats.

    The fact you are all telling your stories of these numbing losses means Gree have got this one spot on.......

    I have lost to plenty of opponents with 50-75m stats lower then mine. Especially in WD. U typically want to be at least 15-20% higher then ur opponent when attacking. Raids are a little different still. I can raid opponents up to 10-15% higher then me no problem may fail every once in a wile. I have raided players as high as 30% higher but fail a lot more raids. The higher the stats climb the more of a gap is created but percentages stay fairly close.
