  1. Can anybody tell me whether the abyssal sword equipment bonus it gives u is based off of total attack, or total attack based on current troop level? I was wondering which to use if fighting from pin.

  2. Use 10% from 75-100 and feather below.

  3. I think it's based on your amount of troops

  4. If you have a level 1 feather sword use that. Unless you have an attack of 1.01M raw stats. That's when your abyssal blade becomes of greater use than the feather sword. The BFE (Bonus from equipment) of the feather sword to attack at level 4 is 200k. Meaning if you have 2.01M attack it's more effective than the feather sword (IF AT LEVEL 4).

    The spy attack is similar, at level 1 abyssal blade is better if you have 361k spy attack abyssal blade becomes better than feather. Etc etc.

    Conclusion.
    Abyssal blade is better over all, the more you upgrade the more powerful it becomes. If you are a smaller build (less than 5m combined) use feather sword. 5m combined and up, use abyssal blade.

  5. It's not a feather xD it's a sword made of diamond

  6. Actucally, (sorry slayer ;) ) since the Abyssal blade is a percentage bonus, it changes based on how many troops you have. The feather sword is a static bonus, so it never changes, just like a def/spy def tower. So at full, to around half troops (depending on size) the abyssal is better, but with lower troops, the feather is a lot better.

  8. :lol: I don't know... But I will say, the abyssal sword hardly ever drops (that I've seen) anymore, so the feather sword you will be more likely to get IMO.

  9. I doesn't seem to be that way ... If u take a look at your item bonuses, they r static and r independent of troop level. If those bonuses r accurate, it would mean that % items like the sword gives static bonuses based on your maxed troop/spy levels.

    So the real advantage to the percentage items are that as you grow they grow with u. It's funny how the devs talked up these new items because the original 3 items and the boots will become even more powerful when t5 comes out...

  10. I got the abyssal blade 4 days before feather came out :p

  11. Yes they grow with you, but percentage items are based on troop level.

  12. Says who? If that's the case then why isn't that reflected in the item page?
     
    #12 llIlIlSuperStinkyCheeselIllIl, Jul 21, 2012
  13. It was confirmed by one of the mods.
     
    #13 l_Love_KaW, Jul 21, 2012
  14. Mods have been wrong before.
     
    #14 slayerbob, Jul 21, 2012
  15. Lol - they r often wrong - that's no confirmation 

    Unless that item page doesn't reflect accurate bonuses - what I said was correct - look for yourself
     
    #15 llIlIlSuperStinkyCheeselIllIl, Jul 21, 2012
  16. The item page could be inaccurate and maybe the devs forgot to have it scale with troops levels?.... Idk, but I'm sorry .... That cracks me up .... Mod confirmation?! lmao! 

  17. The Abyssal Blade is only better for the first few hits for me, i'v tested and I fail the last 3 hits on FOD with the Abyssal compared to only failing on the last hit with the Diamond Blade.

    Since the Abyssal Blade is a %bonus it's power drops as your troop level drops. I don't even bother using it as from what i'v seen I get a better combined damage in an EB with the L4 Diamond Blade.

  18. I've tested on Att and spy builds and have found the opposite - but anyway I'm just going by the item bonus stats - the bonuses on the items page don't scale with troop lvl - be nice if a Dev weighed in here
     
    #18 llIlIlSuperStinkyCheeselIllIl, Jul 21, 2012
  19. And yes %bonuses do drop with troop level, Pro Packs do and so do Perm Items.

  20. Sword to me seems like it's based on max level of troops not total troops remaining.
