I'm assuming that when thermal detonators explode their amount of damage is equaled to the damage of the toon that assigned them. Agree/disagree? And if so, do they also have the same chance to do critical damage as assigned to the toon that placed them? So let's say JE places a detonators and he has high critical damage and chance, is their a high chance that the thermal will detonate doing critical damage at his rate? Basically, is there any reason to increase JE's critical damage and chances?

Does it go based off of their Crit damage/chance or the original character putting the Thermal Detonator ?

I read somewhere that all thermal detonators have a 25% chance of crit and 150% crit damage. Can't confirm this, but saw it in a Zam thread somewhere

No. The damage scales off the enemies health. I forgot what I came to whilst playing around with them (they are useless as resistance too stronk)Believe most are around 25% max health damage. You'd probably be better off jamming potency mods on him.

All thermal Bombs do a percentage of enemy health, With armor calculation included, and deal physical damage, And are completely uneffected by Offense, Crit Chance, Crit Damage, and all bombs deal a different percentage and have damage variance. Bombs have 150% Crit Damage and 20% or 25% Crit chance. Zam and JS just make the bomb timer 0, and don't effect them at all.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the more health an opponent has the more damage they do. Is that based upon the opponent's max health or their health remaining on the meter?

Wouldn't the strength of them have to be based upon the toon throwing them though? Why else would JE's omega increase the damage by 20%.

Plus they have a 20% or 25% of critical damage at 150%, no matter the stats on the person throwing them.

And thanks for the replies!

1. Max Health
2. Yes, based on who throws them, that upgrade Increases max health damage
3. True

And is it physical or special damage? Seems to me like it should be physical damage but I believe JE has several special damage gear pieces, so it makes me question that.

They are definitely physical, a lot of toons have gear that don't help them at all.

Edit: like Lando and his potency.

Physical damage from toons doesn't help them at all. Lando can use Potency when IG88 is leader.

Given new raid and jaws I thought rezzing this thread might help some because I'm still confused on the criteria dmg% and critical chance% from what I've seen on je/js/greedo I'm inclined to think it's not related to mods/gear. Any definitive answer welcomed.
