Could someone explain to the formulas needed to calculate damage accurately in LD? I would like to be able to calculate the damage done by a full levi/lionheart on a shocked skolver.

Scenario info:
Me:
-Chaos set
-two pentas
-Lionheart Honor Blade
-Striker class

Opponent:
-Skolver set
-two pentas
-(insert stereotypical weapon here)
-Striker class

Extra: Opponent is shocked, and I want to know the raw damage done by only the lionheart charge (three hits total I believe). The shock twitch removes invinciframes.

Either the actual damage (in bars) or the formulas would be immensely helpful.

I have no formulas, but

I have no formulas, but factors for consideration:

-UVs
-trinkets
-Heat level of their armor
-heat level of ur weapon
-class they are using

You have trinkets covered. And assuming skolver is level 10, as is your weapon.

That leaves a MAX dmg levi vs a:
Potentially UVed and assumedly level 10 skolver.
Assume no UVs either and striker class (UVs are still a consideration though).

Looks like you gotta find a willing test subject that meets the criteria and shock him and then hit with charge.

I can tell you one thing, you wont one hit him.

I recommend Using a voltaic

I recommend Using a voltaic tempest or any shock haze line star pevel, get a test subject, qnd ask them to bend over while you smack- i mean while you charge and hit them with your sword. Just charge once, then refrain from hitting anyone else during the match. Even that derpy noob right outside your base who thinks his ash tail set is too BA.

"I can tell you one thing, you wont one hit him."

According to my calculations, he will. But all 3 hits from the charge need to make it through.

See this thread and some others in Wiki editors.

Levi base damage at depth 25: about 334
Charge attack for Levi: 140%
Damage bonus: 4% per level
Hits from a Levi charge: 3

Full skolver = 142 normal defence.
Striker health: 8 (base) + 2x5 (armour) + 2x6 (pentas) - 3 (striker penalty) = 27 pips
Health per pip: 40
Total health: 40 x 27 = 1080

Raw damage from Levi: 334 * 124% (max damage) * 140% (charge) = 579
Actual damage: 579 - 142 = 437
Total damage 437 * 3 = 1311
Total pips: 1311 / 40 = about 32 3/4

Damage formula: 3 x (attack - defence)
Defence required to survive: attack - health / 3 = 579 - 1080 / 3 = 219

The most likely ways to acquire 219 normal defence is to either be wearing full Ironmight and have a normal high UV, or wearing Black Kat + Ancient. Ancient's health boost would probably let them survive. A full skolver, even with double max normal, should not survive the Levi charge.

lockdown's invisibility time won't even let you connect all 3 hits per charge.

@Poopsie

But we're talking about shocked enemies here. Shock spasms remove invinciframes.
