About Combat rules
Current level-gap factors, boss fury, defensive defaults and skill point rules.
Base attributes
Level differences
For stage and act bosses, the native damage level-gap factor is ×1.15 per level for the first 3 levels, then ×3 for each additional level. Against regular monsters it is ×1.15 for the first 5 levels, then ×1.6. These factors describe the level-gap rule, not final damage after all modifiers.
Stage and act boss fury
When the boss is more than 3 levels above the hero, its damage gets a ×2 fury factor after 60 seconds, doubling every 30 seconds thereafter. Colossus hunts have separate rules.
Defensive defaults
| Parameter | Client value |
|---|---|
| Maximum mitigation | 75% |
| Maximum resistance | 75% |
| Resistance cap with nodes | 85% |
| Armor constant | 100 |
| Armor coefficient | 0.5 |
| Dodge reference | 1.875 |
| Virtual mitigation | 0.85 |
| Weakness factor on bosses | 0.5 |
Healing skills
The default skill-healing calculation is round(coefficient × mastery/synergy × rate × sqrt(max(210, damage base))). The rate is 0.0097 for party healing and 0.0199 for self healing. Instant effects then multiply by base cooldown; effects over time divide by uptime. These are reference tooltip values before the rest of the hero and combat modifiers.
Stat and skill units
Percentage stats use 10000 basis points for 100%. Health uses ×10, Absorption ×5 and Regen ×1.5 on character displays. Gold Find replaces Luck. Amplifier scale is 0.75 and the native amplifier knee is 30000. These parameters have distinct roles and should not be added together.
Skill points equal floor(level / 2); passive points equal level and the origin costs zero. Skills cap at rank 10; later tiers require rank 5 of an eligible prerequisite. Customize a party.
