thanks for a great read.

one of the best info post i read on this forum in a while.

waiting to read more of your posts.

p.s:

do you happen to know if the Defense is separate for each group of 3 cards (the captain and the 2 soldiers) or is it calculate for your whole deck.

i will explain what i mean, if i put my top defense cards in the leader (center top) and the two cards beneath it - does it mean this particular 3 cards enjoy from higher defense compared to the rest of the cards in my deck, or is it just add to the total defense of all cards together and Reduce the dmg on whole my cards per hit the boss makes ? Each card is calculated separately as far as I can tell but that is something I will pay attention to for sure.

So far though it looks like groupings DON'T matter. When a boss hits a trio, each unit that it hits is a separate calculation and the calculation does not include the defence values of the other units in the trio.

If you video tape a battle you will see that each unit is hit for a different range of values, and this is a direct reflection of the defence value. The HP value just determines how much total damage it can take, so for each hit, you keep a tally, and when it exceeds the HP it dies, obviously.

In terms of deck power calculations, the order of the boss' attacks does not really matter, that only changes the average damage done by your deck, so that the 'power' of your deck is more of an average value rather than a min or max.

That said, calculating the min and max damage done by your deck is trivial once we now how to calculate boss damage based on just the boss attack value and the defending unit's defence. To calculate the minimum attack damage of your deck you run a scenario with max boss damage assigned to the trio with the LEAST HP left. Repeat till all defending units are dead. For max damage do the same but assign the MIN boss damage on the trio with the MOST HP left. repeat till all your units are dead.
