Street Brawl: Difference between revisions

I tested the previously mentioned exceptions to healing effectiveness and found they were not true(possibly patched?). There is some UI inconsistency with said items/abilities but the true healing received is always reduced by 40%.
Line 18: Line 18:
'''Healing Effectiveness:''' The effectiveness of healing abilities and items within Street Brawl is reduced significantly across the board.

In general all healing abilities, items, lifesteal & regen (both regular regen and out-of-combat regen) will only heal for 60% of the value that the ability/item/lifesteal/regen displays.
In general all healing abilities, items, lifesteal & regen (both regular regen and out-of-combat regen) will only heal for 60% of the value that the ability/item/lifesteal/regen displays. This includes Victor's Shocking Reanimation ultimate, causing it to revive Victor at 60% of the normal health value.
 
There are a few known and tested exceptions to the 60% rule, but the list is not exhaustive.

For the items and abilities that heal via affecting the "Health Regen" stat of the player (visible on the top of the healthbar) whether they are reduced or not, they will display a reduced "Health Regen" value on the healthbar but NOT on the stats panel that appears on the left side of the screen when holding 'tab'. This may be confusing as sometimes the stats panel has the correct value, and sometimes the healthbar has the correct value.
 
For example if a Viscous in Street Brawl uses cube on themselves at its base value of 40 Health Regen over 3 seconds, it will heal for ~120 Health. The stats panel will display that your "Health Regen" is 42 (Base value of 2 + 40 from The Cube) whereas the healthbar will display 25.2 - in this case the stats panel was displaying the ''more'' correct value.
 
In another example a Victor with 119 Spirit Power will have a base "Health Regen" value of 11 which will also display on the stats panel, however the healthbar will display 6.6 which is the actual amount of base regen that Victor is regenerating.


Some items such as Rescue Beam and Healing Nova, or abilities such as Viscous' Cube, will display the normally expected healing number next to player's healthbar, but the actual health received is only 60% of the displayed number.

Since [[Trooper|Troopers]] don't drop [[Souls]] in Street Brawl, players are less encouraged to hit them. However, pushing waves is still valuable to gain heal from Banner Troopers and pressure the enemy's objectives.
