Question about the Pulverize ability

[WolSHaman]

Hey guys, this is just a quick question I want to double check: When a unit with the pulverize ability successfully pulverizes, does the damage for the pulverize ability replace the damage the unit would normally deal, or does it augment it? For example, if a unit deals 20 damage normally and pulverizes for 30, when the unit successfully pulverizes, would it deal 30 or 50? Thanks!

That's pretty easy to test yourself.

Set damage to 20. Set Pulverize to 100%. Damage something and check the remaining life.

It augments..

And the pulverized area is around the point of the targetted enemy. E.g., if you use a ranged unit, it would "pulverize" around the attacked target.

At least this was the case like 5 years ago

Seems to Pulverize around the attacker now, dealing base damage + Pulverize damage in the specified area around the attacker.

"dealing base damage + Pulverize damage in the specified area around the attacker."
Just to clarify, does this mean base damage to the target, a dn pulverize to target and surrounding, or base+pulverize to all.
aka: if I have 500 atk and a 20 damage pulverize, will all enemies around me take 520?

In my test it was 100 area damage and 40 base damage to the target. So no, only the target would take 520 damage and the rest would just take 20.
