Random Dex Loss (in General)


Hivemind [The Hive] November 29 2012 1:52 PM EST

I have a 4 min team that has base dex and uses haste. One of my minions seems to get random dex loss I cannot explain. It only effects one minion and always in the same amount. He should be getting 301k dex. Under spells cast it will say that. But most fights he gets 120k. Every once in a while he gets the full 301k. No other stats or minions are affected.

Is it because you are using a ranged weapon in melee combat? Minions get a significant reduction to their Dex when using a ranged weapon in melee. The rounds where you observe no loss in that minions Dex may be because the fight ends before melee begins.

Have no idea which team you are talking about or what minion, but it is probably what the guy above me said.

Minions using Bows during Melee combat will suffer a penalty of 60% to DX and PTH
Minions using Crossbows during Melee Combat will suffer a penalty of 40% to DX and PTH
Minions using Slings during Melee Combat will suffer a penalty of 80% to DX and PTH
Minions using a Bow or a Crossbow will shoot every other round in melee starting at round one, but slings shoot every round.

that would be it thanks. Yea its hiveswarm with only a bow. I knew about the dex hit but did not expect it to show on combat results.

Combat results for the most part show the state of things at the end of the battle. So if your attribute gets lowered during the battle, you'll see the final value (think stat-reducing bows)
