Abyssal Sword VS. Feather

Discussion in 'Strategy' started by III--Arbiter_of_Justice--IlI, Jul 21, 2012.

  1. As well you could always have aybassal for when you have full troops when you reach half go to profile and equip feather then attack (unlees you need to HnR)
     
  2. I did ask wolf about this a while back and apparently abyssal is a static buff which ignores troop count.

    It's based off your total strength at full and doesn't decrease with troop use. Or so I was told.
     
  3. From Wulf's equipment guide stickied in "Questions and Feedback."

     
  4. Well I asked not long after they came out so it must have been before they were totally sure. Meh, oh well.
     
  5. i'm pretty sure aybassal isn't static
     
  6. % based equipment scales with troop/spy level.

    I have been told this from 2 different developers.

    Hope that answers this question.

    Cheers.
     
  7. Thanks for clearing that up Wulf.

    The only reason I found out about this was because I got the Diamond Blade first, when I finally got the Abyssal Blade I noticed I was losing my final 3 hits in FOD when I had it equipped, with the Diamond Blade I would only need to use pots for my final hit.
     
  8. Thanks wulf. I asked because there was a debate in my clan.

    And btw, yes I'm aware that it's not ACTUALLY a feather, ik it's a sword made from diamond, but the vast majority of ppl call it a feather so as not to cause any misunderstandings.
     
  9. Despite having both Abyssal Sword n Diamoniferous, I've found time and again that the Diamondiferous actually works better when troop count is low.

    I actually get zero losses when attacking Cave of Riches or SR.
     
  10. 'bout time a mod chimed in on the dicussion thanks wulf
     
  11. My thoughts are which sword is better for you depends alot on how you play. If you trickle hit, you're likely better off with abyssal. If you run full unloads, especially if you have a COE, you're likely better off with diamond as the second half of your unload will probably benefit more using diamond than abyssal.

    My abyssal gives 19 mil atk at full strength, my diamond 10 mil (static). The first half of my unload therefore will get > than 10 mil boost, and the second half will get < 10 mil.
     
  12. What about the sickle
     
  13. lol..the Sickle is terrible

    @OP
    Why did you post "Update"?
     
  14. What's better the shield or bow
     
  15. I posted update so it would go back to the top because a friend of mine wanted to see it
     
  16. From what I'm working out the abyssal blade is perfect for what ever build you are, the feather is better for your non build. I'm hansel. I use abyssal to spy atk ebs and then change to feather to unload. Abyssal gives me 700k troops atk and 8.7mil. Akrhino, I don't think there is any deminishing effects on the blade whether you have 10% of ur troops left or have a full load. It will still be 19mill damage even on your final hit before going to 0 troops.
     
  17. @Mileycyris
    If you had read the last page, you would know that it does diminish with troop usage.....
     
  18. Yeah Loki. But that doesn't really mean anything. Because he herd something it mist be right. How come with either weapon equipped the dame on the last attack is always the same as the first? Like on haunting my hit range is 142-162. Why isn't my last hit 120? Since I'm losing 8mill ? Maybe the debs have made it so there should be deminishing returns.
     
  19. Dame= same debs = devs. Zzzzz
    There proberbly is deminishing effects. Buts is not even noticeable if there is.
