Hidden Unit Stats: Revealed! «1234567» Go

WrongThinker

Hi Commanders,

As many of you know, our current unit information screen really isn't adequate.  You asked for some of that hidden info to be revealed to help you make the best decisions, both for components and general strategy.  Hopefully we'll get some bandwidth to improve that screen in the future, but until then, here is some of the critical unit data you've been missing.  For the time being, I'm keeping this info to Core Units and Heroes at level 20 (and Sarkis, because he's cool), because to do it for all units at all levels in the game would take me until 2020.

Please let me know if there is other information you want and I'll do my best to provide it when my time permits.

Enjoy.

***** **** *** ** * MOST RECENT UPDATE: 7.1

Replaced Marksmen terminology with Commando terminology.  Changed "Splash Area" to "Splash Radius" to improve clarity.  Added Splash Radius to a few more units, where needed.  Also added Targeting Type, to clarify whether a unit can hit Air and/or Ground targets.



***** **** *** ** * STAT EXPLANATION

• Targeting Type
• A/G refers to Air and Ground.
• Damage Per Round
• The amount of damage from every projectile the unit fires (e.g. bullet, rocket, missile, etc.).
• Clip Size
• How many shots are fired before the unit must reload.
• Fire Rate
• The speed at which shots from the same clip are fired.
• Only relevant if the clip size is greater than 1, since a clip size of 1 means the unit is constantly reloading.
• Reload
• The time it takes to load in a new clip, once the old clip is emptied.

Added damage types to all units (i.e. sustain, burst, or area).  Added Cyclone and Lead Marksman.

UPDATE #4.0
Jackal added.  Light vehicles updated to include Shock Immunity.  Warhorse splash area added.

UPDATE #1
Added Stat Explanation.

May I ask for the following also:
The damage filter meanings
Turret damage per shot
Unit buff meaning : What Bloodlust actually does / Elite Buff meaning / Others which are only described in stats
That will be also useful for players
Thanks
Edit: I want to have some more info about Bloodlust meaning.

richard.wadzinskijr

why do they just remove all this hidden bullcrapn kixx units are so overrated any how and we get the brunt of it and the repairs are so crazy, if it is an invention to make us coin for repair ya all got another thing coming, iu just most 5 units because of the game freeze and kixx wipes the units in play, this is so unfair, another nail in the coffin, so tired of this ya all are really making the game so unplayable, so unenjoyable, i see folks leaving in droves. i am contemplating it. this is no where near where the last lying moderator who spewed his guts a few months back sayingt hings were going to be made better and were now playing upgrade commander and farmville commander, 120 mil res is one thing but 25,30,35 & 40 million thorium for a **** upgrade , really are you serious, one day it was 4 mil to upgrade the thorium vault next day it says the same upgrade takes 12.5 million. reallY?

Can someoen explain, corelation between "Damage per shot" , Fire rate/second , and the clip size ? i think i got confused here thank you

With all due respect, and I do think this is a good start / helpful, that still looks confusing as ****.

I certainly agree that this would help clarify some of those numbers a lot better.

You are right about making the game more farming, but at least this topic is awesome. By providing such data (I'm really don't remember such a leaking topic before) you can plan you game and ask for more accurate things (for example - about preserver armor - as it was really dissapointing to have a miscorrelation between published data and data after 'bugs fixed').
WrongThinker, thank you more threading us new useful info!
As an idea - please complain unit special abilities and does it touch every unit (example - thread about preservers).

I am under the impression that

Each unit has a clip size, that being the number of shots it fires before the need to reload.

Fire rate/second is the speed at which the shots in the clip are fired at the target

Each of those shots then has a Damage per shot

Reload is the delay in between each clip being fired at the target.

Damage per shot is damage per individual bullet.
Fire rate is how many rounds the unit would spit out if it had no need to reload and could fire non-stop.
Clip size is number of rounds fired before reload.

*For the time being, only Primary weapon information is provided.  Secondary weapon info will come when time permits.

Is there a reason the DPS on units are not matching to the Damage per shot you are posting? Also, units that do burst damage such as preserver and heavy gunners, do they have a reload speed? Like do they ever reload?

Mike. Roberts

Thanks WrongThinker its good to see someone from Kixeye can deliver on a promise  

Look forward to future updates that will help players greatly in making better strategic decisions ie similar information for Turrets & Defensive attributes for units where applicable.

Though some have guessed correctly in the thread, I have updated the OP to include an explanation of stats.  I've also added the flat armor from Bro J and the preservers.

I'm determined, mate.    Hopefully within the next week or two I can post some info on the turrets and other defensive structures.

Thanks for taking the time to do this wrongthinker, this information is very helpful especially when it comes to fitting them in the workshop, great work m8

Thank you very much for this information. It helps to clarify some misunderstandings and confusion. For example...I have been playing the game for around 3 years, and I thought that DPS stood for Damage Per Second....making the fire rate and reload speeds seem almost irrelevant. Now that I understand that it is damage per SHOT...that makes my understanding of unit damage and workshop items much clearer. Also, as soom have mentioned, a complete rundown of Turrets would be extremely helpful. The entire concept of scaling damage needs to be addressed as well. Otherwise, with a DPS of 9,933 and a 500 rate of fire, the Microwave turret would seem to be the ultimate defensive weapon, but we know that you need a mix of turrets.
Also...why the discrepancy in the stats in this list and what is listed in game? The Marksman has a DPS of 41,836? Is that a typo? 
This is what is frustrating about the game....units are listed as being powerful and valuable, but then seem less than impressive at times.
I have always wanted better stats....this is really a step in the right direction and wish it was incorporated into the game a bit better.

I want to say that they have extremely low health in terms of SF, which is compensated by high damage and range.

DPS on units as displayed in game is Damage per Second.  

For example:  Operators max DPS is 5694 DPS.  As demonstrated above the Damage Per Shot is 949.  Or six shots per second.  So the unit fires three times, Reloads, and then gets off one more clip (3 shots) every second.

This DPS (Damage per Second) vs the DPS (Damage per Shot) has been one of the most frustrating aspects of the game forever.  This is why DPS should always be Damage per Second and DPR (Damage per Round) should be used to describe Damage per Shot.

Having 2 different items described as DPS that DO NOT mean the same thing will otherwise always be confusing.

TheGodfather

so then is it safe to assume that one of the game changes you have made is changing DPS to damage per shot? Because it has been stated 100's of times in forums over the years and replies from customer service that DPS was always Damage Per Second

as far as i can see is the stats we see for units within the game is damage per second. wrongthinker is now providing us with damage per shot stats in addition to those we see in the game - the stats provided by wrongthink are far more helpful than the misleading crap we've been provided in the past

TheGodfather

yes the information is great but there is such a huge difference between what he is saying and what is stated in game, I am just trying to find the happy medium as to which is more correct. Take your heroes for example, based on WT's number this is what you have  Brother Jeremiah in game DPS 28,235...WT's DPS 80,000.......Kara in game  28,091,,,WT....103,000....Sheila in game..20,022....WT 66,740.... thats a huge difference once converted to damage per second which is how you would have to compare them since in game stats are damage per second. I much prefer WT's numbers I just want to be sure the information is correct

good point. i didn't bother to convert WT stats into DPS.  you would also need to take reload time into account eg when factoring in reload time on shiela you would only be getting 7-9 shots per second, bringing her DPS closer in line with kixeyes in game stats - i'm making the assumption that WT fire rate numbers do not take reload time into account BUT i think WT needs to clarify this

There is no difference between what he is saying and in game stats.

Kara:

Damage per Round 25,750

Damage per Second 28,091

Let's take a fire period plus reload period.

She gets off 3 rounds in .75 seconds.  Doing  77,250 damage.  Now it takes 2 seconds for her to reload.  So 2.75 seconds have elapsed but she's only done 77,250 damage.  77250/2.75 = 28,091 Damage per second.

Actually, forgive the confusion on this point (my bad for saying Damage Per Shot, I will update the post to "Damage Per Projectile" shortly).  In-game DPS does represent Damage Per Second, but it is a result of Damage Per Projectile, Reload, Rate of Fire, and Clip Size.

So, basically, we showed you the last part of the equation without the details.  So, in the Marksman case, their Damage Per Second (DPS) is roughly 12.7k, but their damage per shot/projectile is much higher than that (as seen above).

UPDATE #2
Changed Damage Per Shot to Damage Per Projectile, since it shared an abbreviation with Damage Per Second (which is what DPS stands for in-game).  Hopefully this will be clearer.

UPDATE #1

There seems to be some confusion about the stats I listed, so allow me to try and clear that up.

• Damage Per Projectile
• The amount of damage from every projectile the unit fires (e.g. bullet, rocket, missile, etc.).
• Clip Size
• How many shots are fired before the unit must reload.
• Fire Rate
• The speed at which shots from the same clip are fired.
• Only relevant if the clip size is greater than 1, since a clip size of 1 means the unit is constantly reloading.
• Reload
• The time it takes to load in a new clip, once the old clip is emptied.

Can we get some information on how much damage Kara does when her blood-lust effect is full? or some information along those lines please?

Thank you very much for this information. It helps to clarify some misunderstandings and confusion. For example...I have been playing the game for around 3 years, and I thought that DPS stood for Damage Per Second....making the fire rate and reload speeds seem almost irrelevant. Now that I understand that it is damage per SHOT...that makes my understanding of unit damage and workshop items much clearer. Also, as soom have mentioned, a complete rundown of Turrets would be extremely helpful. The entire concept of scaling damage needs to be addressed as well. Otherwise, with a DPS of 9,933 and a 500 rate of fire, the Microwave turret would seem to be the ultimate defensive weapon, but we know that you need a mix of turrets.
Also...why the discrepancy in the stats in this list and what is listed in game? The Marksman has a DPS of 41,836? Is that a typo? 
This is what is frustrating about the game....units are listed as being powerful and valuable, but then seem less than impressive at times.
I have always wanted better stats....this is really a step in the right direction and wish it was incorporated into the game a bit better.

Actually, forgive the confusion on this point (my bad for saying Damage Per Shot, I will update the post to "Damage Per Projectile" shortly).  In-game DPS does represent Damage Per Second, but it is a result of Damage Per Projectile, Reload, Rate of Fire, and Clip Size.

So, basically, we showed you the last part of the equation without the details.  So, in the Marksman case, their Damage Per Second (DPS) is roughly 12.7k, but their damage per shot/projectile is much higher than that (as seen above).

So can we now assume DPP (Damage Per Projectile) is going to be used from now on to describe this function?  I still think DPR Damage Per Round sounds better ;-)

Or is there another reason you chose this nomenclature?

Wrong Thinker, thanks for taking the time to provide this much data.    
Can we convert them into one simple number to use for each unit (before workshop)?
 
Please explain how best to use data to compare between two units,  for example,  Kara vs Sheila.

Should we convert the data into a damage per minute assuming both would fire for a minute? Thanks

Why would you convert it?  The info is there.

Kara 25k per projectile and slow reload and fire rate.

Sheila 3337 per projectile but with a much faster rate of fire and a much quicker reload.

Kara does more DPS.  

Sheila will benefit most by each round (projectile) doing more damage (Impact Ord) since her Reload is already quick.  Take Aim will also impact her extremely well since it adds to damage and will slow her fire rate but since it's already High that should be ok.

Kara will benefit most by shortening her reload time (Compressed Magazine) since it will speed up the 2nd volley of projectiles doing 25k damage per projectile.  She'll also respond well to Bandolier since is will speed up her rate of fire.

Converting to damage per minute gives you no additional information over Damage per second you just multiplied it by 60.  It won't tell you anything more than what you already knew.

You have to take into acct Rate of Fire and Reload Time to determine how to shop units and to determine which units will do more damage to what units.  Kara for example will ALWAYS have an advantage against Preservers since she does so much damage per projectile.  -100 damage on 25k damage is nothing.  -100 damage on 3337 is a much greater percentage decrease.

Thank you for this info.

Now get to work on Enhanced Turbines. LMAO

At least we have somewhat a direction to go for with our customizations.
