How is damage calculated

[RailgunD]

Just something I noticed.  It only takes 2 hits with a battle spear to kill a spider.   However, a spider has 100 hp and a battle spear only does 42 damage.  My guess is that the game rounds down in calculating how many swings of a certain weapon is needed.

 

In this case, since

 

42 (damage)/2 (for rounding down or up) = 21 

 

42 (damage) x 2 (swings) + 21 = 105

 

since 105 > 100, the game rounds the number of swings down to 2.

 

Is this how it works?

Nope. It's much more simple. 1 hit = *damages*

 

I assume you're playing with Wigfrid, and she does 25% more damage (due to her perks), so 42*1.25 = 52.5

52.5*2 = 105

Ok I didn't even know about the perk. Thanks.
