Vampire Dagger healing

[Jappert]

I am sorry if this has been discussed. Also, this might not be a bug but it's something I don't think works as it should.

First of all, some game mechanics:


The damage a vampire deals is returned as healing. If a vampire misses, you don't get healed. If part of it's damage get's blocked, you get healed for less. In my opinion this is working as it should.


Heal yourself for up to 5 HP's after each turn. Even if it doesn't hit, it heals. Even if part of the damage is blocked, it heals for up to 5 HP's. Also working as it should.


The damage this dagger does should be returned as healing. If it doesn't hit (misses), it doesn't heal. But if part of the damage is blocked does it also heal less?

The reason I post this is: when the opponent has only 2 HP left and my dagger hits. I get healed for 6 HP. When the dagger only does 2 damage, it should only heal for 2 right? Does a vampire do the same?

Once again, probably not a bug. I would like to see this clarified though, especially because sometimes your EM's depend on it.

I think before asking, you could try on Trainer. Then if you think anything is wrong you can discuss here.

I just want to discuss it now.

Thank you!

So I think you put on the wrong place. here is a place where people notice a bug. Try asking on game discuss topic. Probably your post will be moved.

Think of it this way, Jappert.  You get healed for however much damage you can deal up to, and including, the death blow.  So if your opponent had 1 HP and you had a 150/25 LS'd Chimera, you would get healed for 150 HP.  Obviously, without talking to zanz I cannot be sure that this is intended, but I know that it has been around for a while and have a feeling that he would have changed it by now if it was his intent.

And yes, if 4 of the damage is blocked with the Vampire Dagger, then you would only get healed for 2.  I see the difference being that in the case of having fewer HP than damage done, none of the damage is actually being blocked (aka reduced), and so therefore the healing is not, either.

Vampire and Vampire Dagger follow exactly the same rules.  There is no discrepancy, and therefore no bug.

Thanks Mith and Essence, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

Hugs & kisses & cookies for you two.
