If you have the Golden Chili,
– Wizard w/ Twin Lightning
– Pirate/Corsair w/ Scissors
– Skulkers w/ Beep Attack
Use Pirate to buff, use Skulkers to debuff, then give Chili to Chuck. Watch enemies melt.

I can confirm that it’s only a 30% boost. I tested it with multiple team compositions, and it has been x1.3 the entire time. This also affects rage attacks against the banner too, so Red’s rage attack will do 30% more damage.

Upon further testing, the number in the description is INCORRECT. This new weapon set only increases damage dealt to the banner by 30%. For example, if Pirate Bomb deals 1,000 with his normal attack, when the enemy banner is below half, Bomb would deal 1,300 damage. This is a persistent aura that affects all allies, so other birds get this 30%…[Read more]

Bomb’s new weapon set appears to be a persistent aura, similar to Chuck’s Mana set or Matilda’s Nightmare set. It is always in play even if Bomb is KO’d, and only triggers when the condition for it is met.

The wording of the set effect is ambiguous because it says that all allies deal 100% more damage to the banner when under 50% health. This…[Read more]

An Elite class increases that class’ BASE stats by 10%. The class’ skills remain the same.

A limited edition class increases the attack modifier by +10%. This is a flat addition to the multiplier, not x1.1 like the elite class.

In the case of Elite Knight, the attack is actually 126.5% of a non-elite Red’s base attack. For example, a level 50…[Read more]

Interesting. This Elite upgrade actually gives a 10% boost to Red’s BASE stats. The class skills remain the same – Attack still does 115% of Red’s base attack, and Protect is unchanged.

I wonder if they will add an Elite version of every class?

@datguygamer There are two multipliers. First it’s Red’s old base attack multiplied by 1.1 for the…[Read more]

I only have 7/20 of the final items because I don’t want to use stamina drinks for this. But once I unlock the class, I’ll do some numbers testing. My hypothesis is that Elite Knight will still be a crap class.

Despite the nerf to Valiant, I still see no reason to use any other banner set. It still remains the banner of choice for easy wins in the arena. Now if it was nerfed beyond the 65% to, say, 40% or less, then that’s a true nerf and would put it in line with the rest of the banners.

@graugeist Rovio gotta make people spend $$$ on that LCs somehow!

Another weapon set that seems more effective in PvE than PvP. As mentioned by others, the Valiant banner negates the purpose of healing, and most people do not run the DoT team anymore, preferring to run direct damage to take advantage of Valiant’s Crit and Chain effects. However, there are some PvE battles where the pigs heal for stupid amounts.…[Read more]

@graugeist Yes, but the skills are based on a percentage of the bird’s stats, so gear won’t matter. An offhand adding 10% Might won’t change the multiplier of an attack.

@datguygamer The equipment set is called the Piercing set. The set effect is Shadow Steps.

Added a note about Rogues’ Cupcake Trap to the top post.

Many other RPGs have some sort of Near Death effect, but rarely is it meant to finish off a foe that’s near death.

The current Finisher works exactly like Mortal Blow, having a chance to deal increased damage when attacking a low-health foe.

I would really like the Finisher set to cause some negative effect on low-health foes, such as Finish…[Read more]

@datguygamer I can’t get a screenshot because it’s an RNG thing and I can’t react fast enough to get the shot. But example (1) happens more often than I’d like. Chain Attack targeted Blues and triggered Shadow Steps, so the main attack on the banner did no damage.

It seems that set effects are separate and trigger independently. Let’s take a…[Read more]

Last year, I tracked my coin tosses for 1200 battles. The enemy started 1033 times. I have a 86% chance to lose the coin toss.
