Full Version: How does the battledome equate damage from fractional icons?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Just wondering if, for example, after defence is calculated, you ended up with .07 of an icon or .73 of an icon- how much damage would you do?

Would .07 round down or up, would .73 round down or up? (after multiplied by offence boost/defence boost)
I'm pretty sure that the battledome follows standard rounding conventions. (i.e. greater than or equal to .5= round up, less than .5= round down.)

I happen to know as a fact that with standard conditions (all catious stance and what not) that my BoD with the 250 boost rounds up from 71.5 (5.5*13) to 72.
okay thankyou Smile
I was wondering earlier...
What if you do 1 damage and then your opponent used Downsize!. It would be 1/2 which is .5, which would round back up to 1, correct?
Now what if you do a fractional icon that .7 damage. Your opponent uses Downsize! - does it go down to .35 damage and then round down to nothing or would it first round up to 1 damage and then get cut in half? Thanks

I'm FAIRLY certian that would round down to nothing. I'm not entirely sure where rounding happens in relation to defense, though.
I believe it always rounds up. For example, 10.4 damage = 11 damage

I'm pretty sure that ISN'T the case... I've had cases where I know the damage I was doing was x.25, and it rounded down to x.

I did some tests, and it appears that you are right :\'(. I was probably thinking of drain life, where 1.111111 HP = 2 HP

I used a hand painted scarab and did 13.5 dmg which was rounded to 14 (oppponent was on neutral stance). Then I tried using the same scarab with beserk, and did 20.25 dmg, which was rounded down to 20.
