Catapult | Trebuchet

[doublecross]

not only does launching a frozen creature to 20% more damage, it can also freeze the enemy weapon.

Damage has been changed in patch 1.28 that brought us Arena.

[14:11:17] zanzarino: Ok, one more small patch to the beta: I just added a description of the arena (only for the first time you open it)
[14:11:33] zanzarino: And moved the max damage of catapults up to 100
[14:12:49] willng3: So wait, does that modify the damage formula?
[14:13:15] zanzarino: yes the 75 is now 100 in that formula

(But yeah, this is pretty huge, now it's only 3 titans to do 100 damage, gogo catapult decks.)

Osiris just got even harder ...

And speaking of Osiris, his possession of Catapult makes him counter CCYB heavily - he flings frozen and antimattered creatures. For me, it's the highest Pulverizing priority.

If you are clever enough you wait to have pulvy and destroy those cata before playing AM.
He didn't flings frozen creature if he has empty creature slot if I good remember.
Osiris is easy with CCYB.

Yes, that's what I do too, but often you don't draw it in time.

And I believe he does fling them immediately after they are frozen.

Yeah one time I had my two pulvy in my last two cards I crappily lost ^^

I dunno how works the AI with fling/frozen creature

Doesn't seem like there is a new table according to chat so I'm making one.

Table of Damage
by Bhlewos

Damage Formula: dmg=100*HP/(100+HP)

Health Damage 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 11 10 12 11 13 12 14 13 15 14 16 14 17 15 18 16 19 16 20 17 21 18 22 19 23 19 24 20 25 20

Health Damage 26 21 27 22 28 22 29 23 30 24 31 24 32 25 33 25 34 26 35 26 36 27 37 28 38 28 39 29 40 29 41 30 42 30 43 31 44 31 45 32 46 32 47 32 48 33 49 33 50 34

Health Damage 51 34 52 35 53 35 54 36 55 36 56 36 57 37 58 37 59 38 60 38 61 38 62 39 63 39 64 40 65 40 66 40 67 41 68 41 69 41 70 42 71 42 72 42 73 43 74 43 75 43

Health Damage 76 44 77 44 78 44 79 45 80 45 81 45 82 46 83 46 84 46 85 46 86 47 87 47 88 47 89 48 90 48 91 48 92 48 93 49 94 49 95 49 96 49 97 50 98 50 99 50 100 50

I rounded up since that was how the damage was calculated the old way, so 13.04 became 14, and 27.007 became 28. I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to be done so correct me if it isn't.

And here's a graph comparing the old values to the new. Apologies for the step-like-ness of the graphs, I used the integer values.

I have yet to see a chart that mentions the bonus frozen damage.

[coinich]

The bonus is usually negligible, isn't it?  How many people actually make a deck to freeze their own creatures to catapult?  Steam Machines?
