Here is the Formula from my understanding:
Total Alliance Attack + { [ Attack Skill Points x (Fixed Formula Variable) ] x (Random Dice Roll) }
Look carefully at the ( ) nested inside the [ ] nested inside the { } to totally understand
And for the super geeks :
X + { [ Y ( Z ) ] Q } - for True Formula
X + [ ( Y x Z ) Q ] - Simplified Formula
Where:
Total Alliance Attack = X
Attack Skill Points = Y
Fixed Formula Variable = Z
Random Dice Roll Wildcard = Q
And I thought Advanced Algebra my Sophomore year would never come in handy - LoL
