Hero Wars | Critical Hit, Dodge, and Why the Main Stat is Important

[@finkelzo]

When I was younger I was attacked with a camera. I still have flashbacks.

[@lastseer]

At 2:20 Your calculation is wrong. This should be 36%, not 55%.

[@aoetalks5047]

yeah they are either wrong or they forgot to do: (100%) - (that formula)

Nice video for dodge and critical hit! Really easy to understand. Thanks for the information you provide and thanks for the easy example for main stat number.

[@anthonybousquet1585]

Excellent video! Thanks for your work! It really helped to understand how it works as I couldn't find it anywhere else! Fantastic! Keep up! Big love

[@cman9456]

Great breakdown and justification for your stance on the importance of both damage mitigation and penetration stats.

[@Joshisgruven]

Thanks for this vid, Charles! This game has many layers and I appreciate how regularly you peel them back!

[@grantsears7059]

Thanks for these informative videos! These things are so easily overlooked. Especially with the wording the game uses and the vagueness of where to find it in the first place.

[@jordanwolfe607]

Keep up the good work Charlie! I personally really enjoy seeing the more crunchy mechanical side of the game explored

[@squid8616]

Another great video that will help newer players understand the mechanics of the game. Thanks for the great content.

[@philipphammer3474]

Even though I quite enjoy all of your videos, this, together with the physical/magic penetration video, was one of the most helpful. I always wondered how things work and after the penetration explanation I was looking forward to this. Thx and keep healthy

[@rantoppp]

Very good explanation Charlie. Thank you

[@CyberTom1965]

Have you put the numbers from the 1st crit hit example into a calculator? 7182/(7182+13010) is about 35%

[@bboyhard97]

Was looking for this comment, I was also like "55%?????"

[@fernandonunez324]

Yeah same thing here lol math is off?

[@tribalwolf99]

So much math. This is actually more than I realized went into the game. So much to learn...

[@ArcticSlicer]

The critical hit and dodge information is listed in game on facebook under the "get help" tab. There are a lot of topics and Critical Hit and Dodge is one of the articles. I think it's the same article you showed here but it's find able in game with "get help". On Facebook, the main stat of most heroes cap out at around 13,000 or so, this has to do with the presence of red items that greatly increase the main stats, K'arhk for example will have 13,554 agility when he is fully maxed. This is also important to know if you want to use say, Cain, as your active pet who adds dodge to the entire team with his invisibility mastery skill, even heroes who don't normally have the dodge skill. Fully maxed out, Cain's invisibility mastery adds 3290 dodge to each character, it might not sound like a lot but it translates to about a 20% chance to dodge physical attacks, which is a nice mitigation boost for your team.

[@danieljoung5398]

I love that you're posting more videos nowadays

[@bhavin2097]

Thanks for explaining critical hit. Now I finally understand it.

[@mneacsu]

You always provide good informations. Keep it going

[@joaquinl.matorras1861]

Nice video Charles. I do like this style of videos. I actually didn't know how dodge and crit worked in dominion..

[@timothymagnusson4861]

Finally I get what crit hit is! Very important video! Great!👍

[@shard3510]

Hey Charlie love your videos. I would love to see a video explaining intelligence stat and it's effect. Keep up the great work.

[@powgasim5419]

Hey Charlie... this video gave me an idea! Its a suggestion for another video that I think would be very interesting and would tie in well to this video. I think a video called ‘Max Crit Stat Video’ would be a great continuation to this video, especially with the new Blender Meta. I think the video should look at active crit abilities and max crit stats as the title implied. I feel that when you mention crit, I believe Jet has a place in the conversation. I know you didn’t mention Jet because he doesn’t have crit as a permanent stat, but he adds crit to the team (I don’t know what the max addition is). Furthermore, some other additions (also don’t know the max values) would be Sebastians ability that adds crit, and the artifact procs of Ishmael and Jhu. So with a team that has Jet and Sebastian, what are the max Crit stats a hero in the list can have for a short period of time, and if you threw in Jhu OR Ishmael with the Artifact proc. Asteroth, Jhu, Sebastian, Daredevil and Jet. Not a great team, but a team that would allow Daredevil in theory to have the highest crit value possible, even if for a short period of time. Anyways! Love the videos and love streams, your content is addicting! Thank you for your time and effort in making an in depth Hero Wars KZbin community :)

[@powgasim5419]

Oh! I guess you could do the same type of video for dodge..... but dodge is boring lol! Cheers!!

[@itsallcooked]

I always wondered how dodge n crit worked n this video cleared everything. Thank you Charlie for another great video. Tc stay safe.

[@thiagopieri8074]

I knew the concepts, but i had no Idea about the numbers. Thanks for the video! May the skin gods bless this comment.

[@johnwu2674]

08:50 Why do you say "Armor Penetration better than Critical Hit Chance"? What do you mean?

[@claudiulazar926]

Very nice to know! Thank you Charlie :) !!!

[@zaka2630]

Found some of this info in the spreadsheet. Very useful!

[@johnbeckman9890]

Thanks. I am still trying to work out what teams to build.

[@charlesferries20]

I really enjoy this video style. I’m lvl 97 and had no real understanding of how this worked. More maths please!

[@brandonpogue6186]

Great explanation. Keep videos like this coming please!

[@browniegames865]

Wait u said crit stat equal to main stat is 50% chance. But in that example where ishmael had 7k crit and asta has 13k str then how could ishmael have 55% chance to crit?

[@medo1624]

you really active to sharing any information for us

[@jasonrodriguez6771]

Cool to know, but hard to put into practice as it’s hard to gauge what an opponent’s main stat number is before they’re maxed out. Do you have an easy way to decide on whether the probability of Crit/Dodge is going to be high or low before the fight vs different heroes at different levels?

[@grantsears7059]

Not exactly possible unless you come across them frequently in Arenas. Power level, avatar, one hero with different border, or much higher level could indicate someone has dumped their resources into that hero.

[@TheCityboysMVP]

Great video Charlie, you broke this all the way down.

[@andreasrudl2587]

Charlie, thank you for the video. Quick question. What, in your opinion, is the reason dodge heros cannot dodge K'harks attacks? They are physical, right? So they should be "dodgeable".... WDYT?

[@florinsuciu4877]

Thank you for the information!

[@gardian06_85]

UM Math is "hard" 2:20 for that result the Ishmael would need a crit hit stat of 15950, to get a 55% chance. fun fact games will often use x/(x+n) * 100 as a fastish-calculation; with high return up to 50%, but drastically slowed increases after, with little to impossible to reach 100% (though it can happen by computer rounding error which is more common then you would think)

[@itgrampa]

Thanks for the explanation - super helpful!

[@Cris-ru3st]

Kiera's critical percentage depends on the first hero her hit? Or does it depend on the 5 heroes?

[@maskedriderweaver4122]

Interesting. I would point out that neglecting your main stat affects multiple other stats, so that you consider what you are giving up while you are focusing on a single attribute skin.

[@thomasfranz8722]

Shouln't Cleavers Strength much higher because of his purple skill (or will it "work" only infight)?

[@scottwalotkiewicz833]

Great videos. I just started this month. Crazy question...I hear is Bob teams a lot. What is that? Thanks.

[@cgsschaefer]

@HeroWarsCentral so: - if Astaroths main stat is Strenght then strenght will reduce its vulnerability to crit hit as you described. - magic attack will increase his shield capacity to block physical damage for the entire team you say the amor is more important than the main stat for Astaroth, so the damage reduction through amor is more woth then the crit hit % reduction from main stat strength ??

[@silverfoxsmith6344]

Can you get above 50% chance to crit, if your crit# is above the opponent's main stat, or does it cap at 50%?

[@doughammond2252]

Thanks Charlie. I learned a lot

[@psychoyans]

So what is the difference between dodge and blind ?

[@arnego849]

one thing u didn't mention, but i think is important: if an atk gets dodged, the atker will still gain energy for this atk, but no energy to the defender since he/she didn't get dmg, which makes armor the better stat to go for against normal atks (non critical atks), since it is better for the energy gain and easier to heal since the dmg comes in steadily. but against crits i think dodge is the better stats, since these heroes usually have less armor penetration (meaning u don't need as much armor to be effective (deminishing return of armor), plus u have the chance to negate a critical hit, which means negating the dmg of two hits.

[@enderaslan7998]

nice mention, but you must keep in mind sebastian's pure damage also, which pass thru armor like air. 30K each! Dare devil hits 5 times with the ulti, 3 of 5 crit > (1 damage due to armor, lets say opponent has 100.000 armor) +30K crit pure damage from sebastian, in total 90,005 damage.

[@john-fn3kq]

Crit Can affect caracter without Crit in stat liste with weapon buff ??

[@danl1924]

What's the difference between physical damage and pure damage? Which heroes specialize in pure damage? What impact does pure damage have? I believe it's listed in green in the game but I haven't seen much discussion on it.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Pure damage is light grey (green is healing). Pure damage is not reduced by neither armor nor magic defense and penetrates through many shields that would block either physical or magic damage (though there are some that block pure damage, too). I don't have alle heroes yet, so far none that especially specializes on it, but both Galahad and Keira do much pure damage additional to physical damage once you unlock their purple ability.

[@danl1924]

Thanks! If it's hard to block or reduce, it would be a good advantage to have when team building.

[@alfredmuhamad4196]

do you know for May event?

[@NinjavomWolfstor]

Great video for me as a starter :)

[@MistaJaaay]

Awesome vid sir

[@thomashaggard5702]

Good stuff man. Thanks

[@ostrowulf]

Handy explination video, cheers.

[@aryonelmers9602]

Wow!! Haven't had to use the grey matter like this since uni.....lol! Thanks for the info Charlie!!

[@chungtungchan4149]

IS this mean if l upgrade the daredevil in the highest level in citical hit, it would be always the best choose comparing with the list you shown above?

[@readwithmeupsc9177]

Why all counters for only physical attacks and not magic attacks?

[@zisisnikou677]

great video charlie thanks!

[@morganlaleure8037]

Merci pour cette super vidéo !

[@davidhsieh5809]

This is very helpful!

[@ricardoblikman2676]

how does block work? i am blocking an awful lot lately

[@xman3205]

im happy just getting the basic hero. side note getting these new heros from event mean u dont reset with your cleaver chance from chest had u gotten hero from chest

[@13ansem]

Confused because Yasmine can both dodge and crit, so what did I miss?

[@eliasdelgado381]

Is Martha a better healer than Thea?

[@theopekar1986]

Very informational thanks

[@antonio8984]

i dont know it before, thanks charlie

[@Barbaricdave]

Great info it helped me out bigtime

[@thomasb6392]

Brain melting after all the math. LOL Good stuff Charlie!

[@stemoney1978]

Artifact activation chance?

[@chaochen826]

1:32 yasmine?

[@tomklemp894]

So if you say dodge isn't important cause you need so long for it to be effective and that armor/magic resist is always better to start leveling up, you think that if i want my qing mao to be more tanky i would rather take the main stat skin instead of dodge because agility main stat = armor ?

[@kathyreier9269]

Thank you for this! I was just passing time with this UNTIL I was told no matter how strong my team is, it doesn't matter if they don't work together! Then I started making teams that complement each other! Thanks to your videos my teams are getting stronger!

[@Apero1Spritz]

Synergy to the max!

[@escadablack1626]

thanks charlie, its helpful

[@ragingturnip7854]

Thanks for the explanation. Poor Fox with a max around 25% crit, almost doesn't seem worth it.

[@escadablack5154]

this information so helpful

[@ValmontRequin]

hey Charlie. can i add u on discord? or any other server? need to ask u a couple of questions in private. tnx bro.

[@postgoats3099]

Very good video

[@NonameForFun]

wow, thanks for that!

[@guanyin19]

Can basic attacks do critical damage?

[@CuongNguyen-qi5ch]

Of course. Basic attack is physical attack. Except some heroes Nebula, Celeste.

[@guanyin19]

@@CuongNguyen-qi5ch so mages can crit on basic attack?

[@CuongNguyen-qi5ch]

Basic attack physical attack. Except Celeste and Nebula because of their purple skills. But only Hero has "Crit stat" can do Crit Hit (double damage), those Heroes are: Jhu, Ishmael, Sebastian, Daredevil ... I don't remember all. Or you have Jet. His purple skill increase team's Crit Stat (only few hundreds) => All your team can do Crit Hit, (with very less rate). Sebastian increases team's Crit Stat too, but percentage => Only heroes have Crit Stat are effected, not all the team. Is it helpful for you?

[@taslimakhanom9172]

If Yasmine was added during the time this video was posted than she would've been between Sebastian.She has higher critical hit chance than Sebastian,but lower critical hit chance than Ishmael.

[@ThEHazaRdus]

Nebula got a dodge skin few weeks ago. But since she is in the middle, I don't see a lot of benefits for it atm.

[@sebastienkunej4065]

I think that with this ability Nebula will live longer during the battle, because she will be hit less times.

[@latch2112]

Thanks

[@Dao4deuce]

Good advice for Asta skin!

[@WeNeedAPeaceWorld1]

Thanks. I play Dota 2 alot and Hero Wars stats was a bit confusing. But I'm good now

[@PieroLDG]

qmao is a good hero to battle arena or campain? I have qmao in my main team

[@vicinoorsini5163]

she can be useful in many teams, even high level. Can't be present in EVERY team, like Nebula or Jorgen

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Depends on the team. She deals pretty good damage especially to the front row, can hold herself quite well for a warrior that is not classified as a tank (partially due to her dodge) and her abilities to both lower the enimies armor with her standard attack as well as to grant armor penetration to the whole team with her special makes her pretty useful in physical attack teams. Good synergy e.g. with Keira (who relies on her armor penetration being better than the enemies armor to deal massive extra damage) and Galahad (who deals massive physical attack with his special, but doesn't have an own armor penetration glyph or skin). And of course she would be your front line hero if you wanted to build a specialized dodge team to exploit the shadowy pet Cain's special ability.

[@jojen17]

Yes, Nebula got a dodge skin not too long ago.

[@FredHandle1]

Link in the description no longer works

[@kavipkan]

Nice info

[@manikandanm4188]

good info :)

[@cosminalexandru8472]

I’m still working on countering DD and sebastian

[@constillustrus]

I like this vid.

[@laurent771]

You did shit dude about the formulas :p if when the stats are equal there is a 50% chances of critical hit, then the formula is: (crit stats / main stats) x 50= crit chances In this case you don t have 55% crit chances with the stats you mentioned but (7182/13010)x50=27.6 so 27.6% chances of crit hit. Or if you have a 55% critical chances with this stats: 7182 crit chance stat and 13010 main stat, then you have 100% crit chance when the stats are equals, and in this case the formula should be: (crit stat / main stat) x100 = crit chances (7182/13010)x100=55

thanks for vid

[@michaeldimitriadis5354]

Thx

[@alejandromiranda8065]

nice video

[@yiacrazy]

Nice.

[@timberlandpham]

Building my first Crit team after got my main Keira team to 300k Ziri/Ish/Jhu/Sebastion/Dorian it going to be really fun team coming :)

[@enderaslan7998]

If you are going to built a crit team which includes Sebastian, you must have heros hitting multiple times like: fox, artemis, daredevil, ginger(if there is jhu, ginger will get crit bonus from sebastian, after jhu uses his ulti, otherwise you need Jet)

[@vicinoorsini5163]

it's common knowledge if you've played many rpg's in the past, but also each team of developers implements it differently

[@jameskitner9368]

Tell me if i am not seeing this right, but i am sure my Galahad every so often when his ultimate goes off, he will do it again right away getting a critical.

[@danielroaroacraft8861]

Interesting thing

[@enderaslan7998]

7182/(7182+13010) = %35,5 please just don't copy paste as it is in the help file. Good Luck
