    @kerravon Critical hit is simply a damage multiplier, not a separate damage packet, so it couldn’t have resulted in an extra Marksmen activation. Chain attacks (as well as the bonus damage from set items) are separate packets and do trigger it – I’ve seen that happen myself.

    @kerravon You already reported 485 as Bomb’s level 15 offhand. Were you looking at the wrong item this time?

    @joeyba @mvnla2 The one linked is only for Red’s and Matilda’s weapons. I also have one for Bomb’s and the Blues’ weapons (elsewhere in the same thread), but all the other bird/type combinations have too little data to come up with a definite formula.

    Specifically, Chuck’s set is the Phoenix Feather and Phoenix Egg, and the Blues’ set is The Sling and Angry Birds Plushies.

    dr_ishmael replied to the topic I Cant Believe It! in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 8 months ago

    What set were you using, Twin Lightning? If that triggered the bonus damage, then you would have triggered the Marksmen’s effect twice, which would account for the very high damage total.

    @chuyuet @suteck137 King Pig (and all the other “boss”-type pigs) doesn’t really drop two ribbons, the ribbon he does drop is worth twice as many mastery points.

    dr_ishmael replied to the topic Free spin in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 8 months ago

    About having to leave and come back – you don’t. Just wait for the spinner over the “enter battle” button to go away, usually takes 10-15 seconds for me. I assume this is because the servers are simply taking a bit longer than before to choose your next opponent, or maybe Rovio introduced a forced wait period as some sort of anti-cheating measure.

    dr_ishmael replied to the topic How Does it Know? in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 9 months ago

    My go-to arena team has usually been Wizard/Sea Dog/Spies, although recently I’ve started using Skulkers just to change things up. In the early days of arena, the AI would almost always target Chuck first, and if I lost the coin toss, Chuck was dead before I could do anything – there was no way I could recover after that. I quickly realized that…[Read more]

    @tigerussell Level 41 Stone set items are 4497. The per-league bonus is 1/22, so Silver set items are 4692.

    This means diamond set items are weaker than 0* diamond items (5279 vs 5355). This has got to be a bug.

    dr_ishmael replied to the topic Health of banner items in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 9 months ago

    @killerkea Sorry, I didn’t explain that part very well. I’ll write out all the calculation steps this time to make sure I don’t goof anything up.

    We know the emblem base stat (wood league) is 3/8 of the top/flag base stat.
    1. emblem_base = 3/8 * top_flag_base

    Turn that around to get:
    2. top_flag_base = 8/3 * emblem_base

    We know that the…[Read more]

    dr_ishmael replied to the topic Mastery Points in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 9 months ago

    @mvnla2 Hmm, and my earlier distribution was directly below yours, too. Guess I was wrong about my historical trends – at that point everyone was pretty close except for Bomb being in the lead. Overall, I feel safe assuming that our sample sizes are still somewhat small, and the actual probabilities for specific birds are all equal.

    @mvnla2 I have All at 29.75% of the LC offerings, very close to your 31%, after 93 visits. Matilda is my least-offered bird right now, with Bomb on top. Historically Red and Matilda have usually been the bottom two, with Bomb and Blues sharing the lead and Chuck stuck in the middle.

    @kerravon This goes back to my previous post, where I talked about @killerkea‘s 2/15 factor.

    Emblems have 3/8 (0.375) of the base stat of a top/flag at the same level.
    Emblems receive 5%, or 1/20, of the wood-league top/flag base stat per league above wood. For diamond league, which is 5 leagues above wood, the total bonus is 25% (0.25).

    @kerravon That data point allowed me to peg your entire dataset – and you’re absolutely right! Your gold items, both tops/flags and emblems, are levels 13 through 17 @ 2*, with no gaps (that’s equivalent to 0* through 4* @ level 15).

    I’ve also solved the pattern for top/flag Wood league stats, from which everything else is calculated per @killerk…[Read more]

    @killerkea I forgot to say, thank you for figuring out the fractions for the emblem scaling – the fifteenths are working very well. You spurred me into doing some more analysis (that I’d already done but forgot about), and I just figured out how that somewhat odd fraction comes about!
