Regarding recent Leia nerf?
To those who have had Leia at 6* or 7* for a while before her recent adjustment that happened a few days ago, I have a question because I only acquired 6* Leia very recently: is her basic damage(damage of one basic attack) nerfed apart from the adjustment that concerns with glitch of her basic attack(attacking fourth times) and glitch of her passive ability(100% critical chance up)?
However, she now seems pretty under-powered from my analysis regarding her current Total Damage output.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Terms used:
Basic Damage: damage of one basic attack.
Total Damage: sum total of damage of basic attack or special attack, and extra attacks, plus buff/debuff provided by basic attack or special attack, in one turn.(not yet including critical hit damage)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leia:
At 6*, gear 7, she deals only 1300 basic damage whereas pilots deal 2400 basic damage.
1300 basic damage *(first hit + 55% chance of second hit +55%*40% chance of third hit) * 40% chance to offense up((100%-40%)*100%+40%*150%) and (45%*55%+55%*55%+22%*55%) chance to critical chance up(12.5% dps increase)= 1300*177% * 120%* 67.1%*112.5%= 2709.3 Total Damage; however, stealth contributes to 25% loss of Total Damage of Leia, making her final Total Damage 2031.9, otherwise when not using stealth there is 20% loss of Total Damage of Leia owing to no chance to use her offense up, which then makes her final Total Damage 2167.4.
Additionally, her multi-attacks also has same(45%*55%+55%*55%+22%*55%=67.1%) chance of triggering critical chance up to boost 12.5% of sum total of Total Damage of the team which optimally has about 10000 (3500*2+1500*2) sum total of Total Damage apart from that of Leia(two other glass cannons and two non-cannons): 67.1%*12.5%*10000=838.7 increased sum total of Total Damage of the team.
Therefore, Leia contribute to a maximum of 2031.9+838.7=2870.6 Total Damage when using stealth, which critical hit for 4712 Total Damage (2031.9*170%+838.7*150%), or 2167.4+838.7=3006.1 Total Damage when not using stealth, which critical hit for 4509 (3006.1*150%) Total Damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand, at the same star and gear level(6*, gear 7),
First Order Tie Pilot has about 2400 basic damage*(first hit + 45%*2 chance of second hit) = 4560 Total Damage, which critical hit for 7980 Total Damage.
Resistance Pilot has about 2400 basic damage*(first hit + 55%*20% turn meter+ 60%(critical hit chance)*22.5% turn meter on critical hit) + 50% chance to expose every 3 turn(50%*25%*10k average health * 1/3 * success rate(1- 30%(average resist chance))) = 2988+291.62= 3279.62 Total Damage, which critical hit for 4918 Total Damage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
As a result of my analysis above, Leia now contributes to less Total Damage than even that of Resistance Pilot, not mentioning there are many characters that contribute to more Total Damage than that of Resistance Pilot, such as Luke, Geo soldier, Poggle, Phasma, FOO, etc..
Therefore, Leia now is under-powered.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS:
As a confirmation bias(without detailed observation and analysis), one may see Leia attacking 3 times with critical hit or offense up and think she deals a lot of damage, but one may not notice it when she attacks only 1 time or 2 times without critical hit or without offense up or without either or when she uses stealth without attacking at all.
However, she now seems pretty under-powered from my analysis regarding her current Total Damage output.
