Shield of Capacity question (in General)


Pop pop March 11 2017 2:14 PM EST

This is mostly in regards to Lxy's character 0011. There are a few times I don't kill his lead minion, and his shield will flash for 10million and then hit for 24million. His shield is +32 so he gets 16% reduction. His Morg stats are unknown to me but the next round he hits for 0 damage.

I'm missing something.

Let's say I hit for 12m in ranged.
12M @16% reduction is 1.9M absorbed. If bloodlust is then figured then about 2.5m tripled is a 7.5m hit. Now he has base strength, and I imagine fairly low x on the Morg or he would hit for some damage on the next round.
Also would he still hit for that much with negative strength from EC or ExBow?

Any ideas?

Yes, exbow doesn't stop the hit

I think it's just the randomness of damage that you're seeing

If there is only base str and the next hit is for 0 damage then the whole 24 mil damage is coming from the SoC. With the SoC damage is not dependent on the x of the weapon at all. All that matters is that you have a hammer class weapon and are able to hit with it. The damage is subject to all the normal reductions for regular physical attacks though.

This makes it a decent strategy to use a mace [16x1]+100 or more + with SoC on a meat shield as the damage is not dependent on the x or str of the minion at all.

I like that it's not dependent on strength or weapon's X just the ability to hit. The damage just returns more that I thought it would. Might be something I try out in this next tourney.
Thanks for the answers.
