Game mechanics: Hidden weapon parameters
Basics
Each weapon, in addition to the basic parameters (physical and magical attack), has hidden parameters that affect damage formulas, i.e.:
- critical — P. Critical Rate (auto-attack)
- random_damage — Damage spread
- hit_modify — Accuracy
Critical Rate of a basic attack is expressed in percentage (%), which can be translated into a numeric value. For example, for the sword critical = 8. That means an increase of 8% in the chance of a critical attack when the sword is equipped. P. Critical Rate increased by 80.
Damage spread (random_damage) counts as a percentage (%) of absolute damage. For example, for a sword random_damage = 10. This means that damage from an attack by a sword may vary from 90% to 110% of the absolute damage values. This works for auto-attacks and all skills, except those using charges.
Weapon Accuracy (hit_modify) affects the accuracy of attacks. It varies for different types of weapons. For example, for a blunt type accuracy is above default, and for a spear - below default.
Weapon types are not divided into one-handed and two-handed. This is another parameter that affects the inventory slots.
Types of weapons are not divided into physical and magical, that is
Great Sword
B
,
Sword of Damascus
B
and
Sword of Valhalla
B
are both "sword".
For paired (dual) weapons there are different categories with their own parameters.
