Attack Modifiers in Video Games

[KingNanaya]

A game I play has insane attack modifiers, and I was wondering if those could be used for scaling. if so, how would I do so?

 

[TWILIGHT-OP]

Which game ?

Read this page, there's a section in particular for videogame multipliers having more scrutinity by their nature.

Are the multipliers brought up in the story, particularly in a manner consistent with what'd be implied with their amount? If not it'd just be dismissed as game mechanics.

Related question. Would it work out for novel verses with a game setting that have something like 5000% more damage?

Not mentioned at all in the story. I could argue that it's implied, as characters mainly use Arts abilities in the story as finishers against characters that are much stronger, or as a random thing thrown out that just kinda 1 shots.

In that case, I think you can scale it to the stronger opponents that it is able to harm. If the character is normally 9-A and in the story the special attack lets them harm an 8-B for example then it can be something like "9-A, 8-B with Special Attack". Don't try to upscale the AP using the percentage of the multiplier. Just because the description says it does 180000% more damage than a normal attack in gameplay doesn't necessarily mean it works the same story wise.

This one I think would work.

Do note that you'd need a CRT for this kind of multipliers either way.

almost forgot about this due to holiday stuff. hope you all enjoyed yours too

makes sense, yeah. because all the characters are in the same tier (4-A or Low 2-C) I'd probably just put "Far higher with [ability name]"

Don't try to upscale the AP using the percentage of the multiplier.

didn't really plan to, unless that's a thing people do.

it, for that character, 180,000% of their attack stat, which would be 180,000% of their base AP (before any other attack/damage buffs)

Do note that you'd need a CRT for this kind of multipliers either way.

That was the plan, yeah. I was gonna make a CRT about it when I got the chance

 

[TheGreatJedi13]

I don't see anything wrong about ridiculous percentage like 180000% as long as it's some sort of ability treated to be special on its or at least implied on by the story if we already got confirmation that such abilities are used as finisher etc.

But it's like a really common ability like for example
He does 1 simple slash with no hype or anything nor has any animation to imply the intensity of the ability compared to regular attacks then no

He does 1 simple slash with no hype or anything nor has any animation to imply the intensity of the ability compared to regular attacks then no

just a few examples

 

[CNBA3]

From my understanding is that unless the multipliers as a concept exists in lore or story would be more or less exceptional.

 

[KingNanaya]

wait, can I use info from the tutorial if the tutorial is part of the story?

 

[CNBA3]

Maybe? I mean it can depend really like if the tutorial is part of a story mission.

 

[KingNanaya]

Yeah. It is.
