dr_ishmael replied to the topic How stun works in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@strategia55 Were you stunned by Red using the Grand Slam set (Titan’s Wrath/Titangrip)? The set bonus increases the hammer’s stun duration to 2 turns.
Otherwise, I have noticed some oddities in the way that turns are counted in arena battles. Sometimes I’ll knock out two birds in one round, but their respawn counters will be out of sync (one…[Read more]

Better comparisons would be Puzzle Bobble for Stella Pop and Puzzle and Dragons for AB Fight. Neither of them are very much like Candy Crush or Bejeweled – although they have similar match-3(-or-more) objectives, […]

(This was intended as a separate post, even before discovering the forum bug.)
@kerravon “Do all the attack bonuses and shielding work in the same way?” The math may look the same, but those are actually a completely different type of effect. Instead of being probabilities, they are scaling factors: e.g., rather than having a 10% chance of…[Read more]
dr_ishmael replied to the topic How stun works in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@kerravon “I presume the game actually processes each attack and calculates whether each attack causes a stun?” Yes, and the mathematical representation of this is that you multiply the probabilities.
Think of it this way. On a single attack, you have two abilities that give a chance to stun – one is a 15% chance, the other is 8%. The abilities…[Read more]

This is weird. The forum really doesn’t like the post I wrote for some reason. It’s not too long (I posted a longer one in the mastery thread), but I tried posting the first half, and that worked. Then I tried editing and adding the second half… and my post disappeared. Something wiggy’s going on here.

dr_ishmael replied to the topic List of emblems in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@killerkea Sorry. Most emblems have obvious name-ability correspondence, Crest of Resistance is one that doesn’t. Its ability is called Dispel, although it should really be called Resist Dispel to avoid confusion with the ability found on bird weapons and banner tops.
Emblem name – Ability name
Black Shield – Protection From Bomb
Blue Shield -…[Read more]dr_ishmael replied to the topic How stun works in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
Abilities that proc on attack always work like this – the chances are multiplied, never added together. I remember back in Guild Wars (the first one), it took a lot of explaining to convince people that wielding two items that gave a 20% chance to reduce skill cooldowns only gave you a 36% overall chance, not 40%.
dr_ishmael replied to the topic List of emblems in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
I’ve received Soothing Emblem while in the Stone League, and Emblem of the Underdog while in the Wood League, so they should be moved up in the list.
Also, you should clarify that the ones marked as being on the reward wheels are also available from the GAPM in the same league – I’ve received all 4 of the Wood and Stone league wheel emblems from…[Read more]

@kerravon Thanks, added them to the table.
dr_ishmael replied to the topic Arena set items in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@tomc Yep, that’s how all non-set items work in both machines. For bird equipment, they can be compared to crafted items, and 2* GPM items have the same stats as 2* crafted items of the same level, so that’s why I normalize GPM/GAPM items at 2*.
dr_ishmael replied to the topic Arena set items in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@tomc That’s equivalent to level 35 2-star, which is 3040 in Wood League, times 120% = 3648. That checks out too, thanks!
dr_ishmael replied to the topic Mastery Points in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@mvnla2 My stats for that (as counts, not percentages) are:
Red 18
Chuck 18
Matilda 17
Bomb 22
Blues 16
All 38In my giant post on the last page I hypothesized that usage might have something to do with LC offers. Now, I’m thinking that was just a coincidence.
dr_ishmael replied to the topic Mastery Points in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
I just had a record high dojo visit today – 18 upgrades. And the trend was completely backwards from the norm: 3 upgrades on the first slot before getting an LC offer, 4 on the second, and 11 on the third. Before that, my per-visit record was 14 and my single-slot record was 10 (on the first slot).
My current stats:
Visits: 39
Upgrades:…[Read more]dr_ishmael replied to the topic Arena set items in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@kerravon Awesome, your numbers confirm that each league above Wood provides a 10% bonus to the item’s stat. The Silver league’s 1152 is 120% of the Wood league’s 960, and the Stone 1056 is 110% of that. Stone 1122, Silver 1224, and Gold 1326 all correspond to Wood 1020 at 110%, 120%, and 130%, respectively.
Unfortunately, I can’t quite peg…[Read more]
dr_ishmael replied to the topic Arena set items in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@kerravon Yes, any and all numbers. If you can record the stars and stat on the next free GAPM roll you get, I can peg all the others off of that.
Oh yeah – tops and flags have identical numbers (like Red/Matilda and Bomb/Blues on weapons), so there’s no need to differentiate them.
dr_ishmael replied to the topic Arena set items in the forum Angry Birds Epic Forum 6 years, 10 months ago
@killerkea Yep, experience level and arena league both affect the banner item stats. I’m in Stone League, and the items there are 10% more powerful than Wood League, so I’m guessing they work similar to mastery ranks for birds (except ranks are applied to the final stat, not directly to the item).
@kerravon Could you provide the stats on your…[Read more]
dr_ishmael commented on the post, Angry Birds Space Mirror Worlds and Brass Hogs Now Available! 6 years, 10 months ago
Each of today’s missions had a “1” under the image, so I assume they were worth 1 point toward that total. We’ll probably see more-challenging missions in the future that will be worth more than 1 point.
dr_ishmael commented on the post, Angry Birds Space Mirror Worlds and Brass Hogs Now Available! 6 years, 10 months ago
The “Try it!” button gains a checkmark when you complete the level, so I’m pretty sure that’s what we’re *supposed* to do for this mission.
