| Author | [2021.02.19] Day of Haste |
|---|
Astrologers proclaim the Day of Haste! Only today:
All lords and ladies and their creatures get +4 initiative in all duels, group battles, and Commanders' Guild battles. |
Is this a troll? What's the point then?
Its just everything +4 initiative? What's the difference in combat if everything is sped up by 4 initiative? Day of NOTHING.
Admins trolled us again. Better give +50% CG points today |
for kchong:
Of course there’s a difference. Good for might builds and less useful for mage builds. |
One immediate difference is that anything that works on a percentage of the initiative are now more effective (delay, rapid, etc.)
8 ini + 40% = 11.2 (+3.2)
12 ini + 40% = 16.8 (+4.8)
On the other hand, effects on percentage of the atb scale are less pronounced as the average initiative increases (0.x atb knockbacks, sorcery talents, etc.) |
for Majblomma:
Not true bro. Hero also gets +4 initiative.
How is it any different then? Mage gets to cast spells faster as well.
The placement on ATB does not change.
What sylin said might be right. Good for holy/dark build day I guess. |
It definitely makes a difference.
Compare a unit with one ini to a unit with two ini. The two ini unit gets two turns every time the one ini unit gets a turn.
Today, those units have five ini and six ini. It's not the case that the six ini unit gets two turns for every one turn of the five ini unit.
In other words, this day benefits slow factions. (Go knights!) |
Holy/dark spells are just one example.
In general, since there's more creature turns per 1 combat turn (10 ini), anything that works on combat turns are going to be more effective as a result.
Getting more hits in from the same x turn of chastise,
Everyone gets more of their turn as blinded unit freezes for a fixed x combat turn, etc. |
| Good explanation guys. Thanks |
