Strange damage ranges

[Julian]

Inspired by Suin, I had a look at the damage done by non-upgraded Tesla Towers
against Ogres (as Ogres have no armor nor magical resistance).

The hits were as follows:
91, 104, 52, 91
65, 78, 91, 91
78, 91, 78, 78
65, 78, 91, 104
65, 91, 65, 91

The weird thing is that the only hits that can be done seem to be 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104.
These five numbers are all 'multiplies' of 13 (52 = 4*13, 65 = 5*13, 78 = 6*13, 91 = 7*13, 104 = 8*13).

Now the Tesla Tower description says the damage range is 66-132:


And the 'upgrade to Tesla Tower' button says the damage range is 61-116:


At first I just wanted to post about this difference in these two descriptions, but
when I looked in it further it seemed even weirder... both damage ranges seem incorrect,
it should be 52-104. This may be the case with more towers, anyone knows?

Interesting, a level 0 ranger with no upgrades did this:

4,6,3,4,5,6,6,6,6,6,3,5,5,4,6

Why did it sometimes do 3 damage?

Hooooo boy, if this is true, this will really mess up the Kingdom Rush Wiki...
Devs, illuminate us!

The 52 dmg seems quite absurd since the lower bound is 61 by the description tag. But considering you've activated no star upgrades, will u plz check if it was caused by a chain lightning while the Ogre was not the first target?

Interesting, a level 0 ranger with no upgrades did this:

4,6,3,4,5,6,6,6,6,6,3,5,5,4,6

The dmg done by a ranger is 13-19, and I dunno why the figures are not in the spectrum...

I'll tell the other guys about this to see if they can illuminate you, because I can't

At first I tried this with all upgrades bought, now I did the same without any upgrades.

With upgrades

91, 104, 52, 91
65, 78, 91, 91
78, 91, 78, 78
65, 78, 91, 104
65, 91, 65, 91

(1 * 52 : 4 * 65 : 5 * 78 : 8 * 91 : 2 * 104 => average: 81.9)

Without upgrades

65, 78, 65, 65
78, 65, 52, 65
52, 65, 52, 65
91, 78, 65, 65
78, 91, 78, 78

(3 * 52 : 9 * 65 : 6 * 78 : 2 * 91 : 0 * 104 => average: 69,55)

So, without upgrades you still get the same hits, but on average they are
lower... just as you would expect, as we we do not have the 'concentrated fire'
upgrade for extra artillery damage. The description of the Tesla Tower and the
'upgrade to Tesla Tower' button say the following without this upgrade:


(60-120 instead of 66-132)

(55-105 instead of 61-116)

No matter what upgrades, the average damage of a Tesla Tower seems to be lower
than you would expect, looking at the damage ranges in the description...
(@Suin, I am sure these 52 hits are direct hits on an Ogre, and not chain hits C:)

Interesting, a level 0 ranger with no upgrades did this:

4,6,3,4,5,6,6,6,6,6,3,5,5,4,6

The dmg done by a ranger is 13-19, and I dunno why the figures are not in the spectrum...

He means a level 1 archer tower ^^

With arcane mages the damages were all multiples of 10. Was this intended or accidental?

Yeah, I found this. It should be intended, and only the devs could tell us...^^

Now the Tesla Tower description says the damage range is 66-132:


And the 'upgrade to Tesla Tower' button says the damage range is 61-116:

Lito just fixed that! It will be effective with the next update.
Damages will be checked later.
