Chaos Attack?

[Cohadar]

Is there anything special about this attacks type?
I think I heard somewhere it ignores armor is that true?

 

[Trollvottel]

there is no specific armor reduction or damage bonus.
like magic which does double damage to heavy armor
but it doesnt ignore armor

If you refer to ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS, it doesn't "ignore" armor...

It is just set to deal 100.00% primary damage to all armor types in the Gameplay Constants.

As soon as you change the Gameplay Constants Chaos damage table, it won't "ignore" armor-type-reduction anymore.


So in short:
--> Incoming damage
-> Check attack type vs armor type and apply reduction (none in case of chaos)
-> Check armor amount and apply 0.06^armor_amount reduction
-> Apply reduced damage to unit

The only thing special about chaos attack, to my knowledge, is that it defaultly does 100% damage to every armor type. I just tested it before posting this, Chaos does not ignore armor. Arthaswithfrostmourne, who has 46-56 damage at level 1, only did 31 damage to something with 9 heavy armor. Therefore, armor is still considered.

Edit: Damn, Magnetix beat me to it.

Note, that chaos damage also does reduced damage to divine armor (or am I mistaking?)
If it ignored armor it would not deal reduced damage to divine armor.

no it does 1.00 (full) damage to it

It's Magentix.

If you're interested in making a damage that is not reduced by anything, then deal damage via trigger of attack-type Chaos, damage-type Universal.

Oh..wait, yes. Divine barely took damage from all exept for chaos. Was that it?

Since I cannot give rep to Magentix right now, you have some

Aye, as far as I can remember, in the RoC campaign, some bloodcrazed orc and his bloodcrazed hordes needed chaos damage to kill some tree-humping demi-god.* You see, the demi-god had Divine Armor, which reduced all damage taken to 10% or somesuch, making him practically unkillable with regular units.

Chaos damage doesn't ignore unit armor, but it ignores Armor-type increases / penalties, and is the only realistic counter to Divine armor.

*Names withheld to avoid spoilers. >.>

 

[Malkier]

chaos damage is the only damage type that can penetrate divine armor. period. Divine armor is used in the RoC campaign twice - in the orc campaign Cenarius has it, and in the Night Elf campaign Tichondrius has it so can only be defeated when Illidan gains demon form.

 

[Chocobo]

all damage taken to 10% or somesuch, making him practically unkillable with regular units.

5% from any other attack type.


Through these things can be modified in Gameplay Constants.

LoL! This is the 4th thread where i read that, =P
People do love you Magentix

Hmm... would an element system work well in an AoS map?
