Magical attacks will hit this unit as if the physical resistance stat wasn't there.ĭamage from magical attacks is reduced if a unit has magical damage resistance. If a normal attack hits a unit with physical resistance, the damage is reduced. Magical attacks completely bypass a unit's physical resistance stat. The difference is that magical attacks have a 'magical' attribute to them. Magical attacks are pretty much just normal attacks, they have AP and non-AP damage, and armour works in exactly the same way, it reduces non-AP damage. Armour negates some percentage of non-AP damage. Normal attacks always have some armour-piercing damage and non-armour-piercing damage. That's a common misconception that a lot of players have from other games. Just so it's clear, magical attacks aren't something that bypasses armour.
As someone who enjoys that sort of thing, it's a bit of a bummer having to scrounge for those formulas, and finding out you've been playing the game for years with huge misconceptions of how certain game mechanics work (like me and armor). Makes it really hard to gauge the effectiveness of certain units from their stats alone. I'm really not happy how CA has chosen to keep some statistics that massively impact the effectiveness of a unit (like attack interval, attack splash size, etc) and the exact calculations for resistance/armor/MA/MD work hidden. It's honestly all very confusing the way they chose to implement it. Going over 90% has no effect unless the enemy has ways to reduce resistances (which they basically never do except for fire and sometimes magic/missile).
Something like 50% ward save, 40% physical resistance, and 40% magical resistance is effectively the same as 90% ward save.ģ0% ward save and 60% missile resistance is the same as '90% ward save' against missile attacks.ģ0% ward save and 60% fire resistance is the same as 90% ward save against fire attacks.ģ0% ward save, 30% missile resistance, and 30% fire resistance is the same as 90% ward save against fiery missile attacks.ģ0% ward, 30% magic, 30% fire against fiery magical attacks (not all fire attacks are magical). I'll also add you don't need 90% ward save.
