Dragonwilds:Combat
From SAS Gaming Wiki
More actions
Template:External Template:Otheruses Combat is a defining aspect of the player experience while in Dragonwilds:Ashenfall, and the RuneScape universe, in which two or more characters and/or monsters or NPCs fight. There are three major combat styles: Melee, Dragonwilds:Magic, and Dragonwilds:Ranged.
Combat Triangle
The three combat classes form the combat triangle, which is a guideline of the strengths and weaknesses of each class against the other two. In general, when players are combating opponents with similar power levels, the combat triangle can offer a general rule of thumb as to which combat style is most effective. It should be noted that the combat triangle in no way defines a fight outcome; any combat style can be used effectively to kill opponents using any other combat style - the triangle simply defines what is generally favorable.
Warriors
Warriors are strong against rangers, but are weak against mages.
- Defensively, melee is the strongest class due to armour values, which provide strong resistance to melee attacks and arrows.
- Melee armour offers the highest defence against melee damage.
- A Warrior's weakness is to magical attacks.
Rangers
Rangers are strong against mages, but are weak against warriors.
- Defensively, rangers are better than mages but worse than warriors.
- Dragonwilds:Ranged armour offers the highest defence against ranged damage.
- A Ranger's weakness is to melee attacks.
Mages
Mages are strong against warriors, but are weak against rangers.
- Defensively, mages are the weakest class.
- Dragonwilds:Magic armour offers the highest defence against magic damage.
- A Mage's weakness is to ranged attacks.
Other factors
Armour and weaponry
Generally, Dragonwilds:armour boosts a player's defensive capabilities by reducing the damage of incoming attack styles, and weaponry boosts a player's offensive capabilities. However, armour may also provide offensive bonuses through the set bonus Dragonwilds:perks.
Dragonwilds:Shields have a unique parry mechanic, in which if the player nearly or perfectly times a block to an incoming melee attack, the attacking enemy will be staggered. This can be particularly helpful when combined with the melee armour set bonus.
Damage absorption
Dragonwilds:Lifeward absorbs many forms of damage prior to Dragonwilds:health being affected.
Perks
Many Dragonwilds:perks can increase critical hit chance, decrease time between attacks, or decrease the stamina costs of player actions. Theses are acquired by the use of Dragonwilds:food, Dragonwilds:infusions, Dragonwilds:armour, Dragonwilds:weapons, or other items.
Special attacks
Special attacks are specific to some weapons that the player can wield. Special attacks consume a set amount of Dragonwilds:stamina in exchange for an effect specific to the weapon, which may include: extra damage, stagger, free ammo, and others.
Base Damage
The player's base damage starts at 1.00, or 100%, and can be increased through damage improving Dragonwilds:perks.
Attack speed
All weapons in Dragonwilds:Ashenfall have a specific speed, which determines the interval between successive hits. Fast weapons tend not to be as heavily damaging per swing as their slow counterparts.
Critical Hits
The player’s critical hit chance affects the rate at which each attack can critically hit, dealing 25% more critical hit damage (x1.25). The base critical hit chance is 10%, and this rate (not damage) can be improved through Dragonwilds:perks.
To calculate the damage multiplier of an attack or event, the following formula is used:
<math> BaseDamage\times\big(1 + CriticalStrikeChance\times(CriticalStrikeDamage-1)\big) </math>
- For example: [1.0 x (1 + 0.10 x (1.25 - 1))] Indicates a 10% critical strike chance, no base damage boosts, and all critical strikes deal 125% damage. In this example (the baseline for all players), the equation would equal 1.025, meaning on average (true statistical average over many events), each attack deals 1.025x more damage per swing than displayed in the chart below, due to critical strikes and base damage boosts.
Weakness/Resistance
Enemies also fall into the combat triangle above, and have a certain style, substyles, and weaknesses. A sub-style weakness can be: Stab, Slash, Crush, Fire, and Air.
- This can help inform the player which style to use for certain encounters in Dragonwilds:Ashenfall regions.
- If an enemy is weak to the weapon's style or sub-style, the Weakness Constant is [?], or a [?]% increase in damage:
<math> (DPSValue)\, x \,(WeaknessConstant) </math>
- If an enemy is resistant to the weapon's style or sub-style, the Resistance Constant is [?], or a [?]% reduction in damage:
<math> (DPSValue)\, x \,(ResistanceConstant) </math>
- Some enemies are also immune to all or certain perk status effects, such as poison, bleed, or burn.
Experience
Players gain combat skill experience from dealing damage.
- The normal value is [?] experience per damage in the attack skill.
- Magic and Ranged skills have yet to be released.
Weapon DPS
Below is a comprehensive list of each weapon and its respective "Damage per Second" values.
- Unlike in other RuneScape games, armour only provides perks based on set bonuses; i.e, there are no melee strength bonuses per melee armour piece.
- This allows the player some freedom in choosing which set bonuses to activate.
- See Dragonwilds:Combat/Strategies for more in-depth strategies, inventory layouts, item usage, combos, etc.
- Also, unlike other RuneScape games, there is no accuracy stat as the player cannot hit "zero" (splash); they must instead physically miss the target. This makes DPS calculations significantly easier and more accurate.
- Every weapon is separated by how much damage it deals per swing of its combo, and the time between each swing. This is used to calculate a rough DPS for each weapon.
- There is roughly a 70ms delay between the user pressing a keystroke and the action initiating client-side (even in solo-play). This is only practically important during PvP for any user action (see Dragonwilds:Stamina and Dragonwilds:Game clock), and the first time an attack sequence is initiated. For DPS calculations, this delay is omitted.
- There are minor variances in the delays between combo attacks. These variances in the expanded info charts are fairly precise, averaged, and used across all weapons of the same type. <ref>Weapons of the same type have the same combo sequence and delays of events, simply with better or worse damage values.</ref> <ref>Total combo times are incredibly precise; however, the times between certain attacks are limited by 140fps video scrubbing (in-game max) to 7ms gaps. For example, it may be that attack #1 is 0.5 instead of 0.507, but attack #5 is 1.407 instead of 1.4. There are also variances by up to 20ms per attack sequence, subtracted from the following attack. It all sums correctly, and shouldn't make any meaningful difference in player experience.</ref>
- The DPS difference between 4/5 vs. 5/5 attacks, 3/5 vs. 5/5, etc., in a combo is nearly negligible, and as such, is not included in the charts.
- If the player is required to avoid a mechanic that forgoes the completion of their combo, raw DPS should not be heavily affected by "losing the end of a combo".
- This also means that it is not advantageous to intentionally cut combos short to increase DPS.
Melee Weapons
Melee armour provides substantial DPS increases to melee weapons when properly utilised, with the following set bonuses:
1/3 Set Bonus: -33% Block stamina cost
2/3 Set Bonus: +50% Crit chance after blocking - This critical strike chance buff lasts for 5s.
3/3 Set Bonus: +25% Damage to staggered targets - See stagger timings in comments below.
- The following "Base DPS" values do not assume any melee armour set bonuses.
- The remaining DPS values do assume the 3/3 melee armour set bonuses are utilised (when applicable).
- The following DPS values for melee do take critical strikes into account (1.025) because the player has a 10% base critical strike chance value, unless otherwise specified (e.g, Ranged weak point damage, etc).
- This is to keep the values consistent across all weapon styles.
- By "Movement Manipulating", pressing any movement keys continually during attack combos, the action delay after a completed combo is significantly decreased. This drastically increases DPS.
- In the event this is not intended, the "Base DPS" cell refers to no movement keys pressed during combos, and waiting the full action delay cycle.

After a parry, there is a minimum delay of 0.550s where the player finishes the parry animation. Weapon damage for the first <1.8s (and no later) is buffed by the 25% damage increase for this reason below, as this is not for a parry stagger.</ref> | DPS vs stagger (for 2.4s) + block crit (parry) <ref name=":4">After a parry, there is a minimum delay of 0.550s where the player finishes the parry animation.

Ranged Weapons
Ranged armour provides substantial DPS increases to ranged weapons when properly utilised, with the following set bonuses:
1/3 Set Bonus: +40 Stealth Speed
2/3 Set Bonus: -33% Ranged Attack Stamina Cost
3/3 Set Bonus: +25% Weak point damage
- The following "Base DPS" values do not assume any ranged armour set bonuses.
- The remaining DPS values do assume the 3/3 ranged armour set bonuses are utilised (when applicable).
Multiply all DPS (or damage) values by the value of the used arrow. For instance, the DPS of the Blightwood Shortbow fully drawn, with all weak point damage using a stone arrow would be: 5.79 x 8 = 46.32.
- The dps in parentheses (dps) is the dps in that cell if the player used the same tier level of Dragonwilds:arrow as the bow (damage arrow multiplier) to compare to dps in different classes at the same power level of weapons.
- E.g.: The dps shown for the Crystal Bow in parentheses (dps) is the dps of the Crystal Bow using a Bronze Arrow; the dps of the Ash Shortbow in parentheses is the dps of the Ash Shortbow using a Stone Arrow.
