Fear Attack



AuthorFear Attack
What are the rules on that stupid ability?

https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?warid=479932135

Those stupid gated horses got it all the time against me in that battle, costing me the game.

I know I made one critical mistake of moving my swords to the "outside" to bring them in range of me, but that wouldn't have been such a big deal had that cheat not triggered on me. And then, it looks like if it it happens once, it happens 1000 times. WTF!!?? The same thing occurs with knockback, but that's a rant for another time.

Why does it trigger so often!!??
To the mods, I know I used some less-than-stellar language in that previous post, but please dont ban me. I'm just really angry and frustrated after losing a battle that I thought I had in the bag.
Chance for ability to trigger

If attHP >= tarHP, then
_Probability = 25% + 3% * (attHP/tarHP);
else
_Probability = 25% - 3% * (tarHP/attHP),

whence:
» attHP is the total leftover HP of the stack that's using the ability;
» tarHP is "-"-" of the target stack;
» Trigger probability does not exceed the bound of [5%;75%];
» The moments to calculate the probability differ depending on the ability type.
-> For Stun and Knocking shot, the probability is calculated using HP's of stacks *before* the actual attack.
-> For Knockback and Fear Attack, the calculation occurs *after* the attack and before target's retaliation.
» The only ability that can trigger on retaliation counterstrike is Knockback.
Thanks straws. I guess those horses had more hp than me and that increased their chances of doing it to me. So frustrating... one mistake cost me big time.
