Game Mechanics

A boosted hit dealing 1.5× damage; chance scales with armour piercing over armour.

• ▸ Critical chance = the weapon’s base critical chance + 5% for every point of Armour Piercing above the target’s effective armour.
• ▸ A critical hit deals 1.5× the rolled damage.

Flat damage reduction subtracted from every hit.

• ▸ Effective armour = max(0, unit armour − attacker Armour Piercing).
• ▸ The effective armour value is subtracted from each hit’s damage (both the minimum and maximum of the damage range).
• ▸ Some units use directional armour (front / left / right / rear); the facing struck determines the value used.

Reduces the target’s effective armour and drives critical / graze chance.

• ▸ Armour Piercing (AP) lowers effective armour to max(0, armour − AP).
• ▸ AP above the target’s armour adds critical chance (+5% per point).
• ▸ Armour above AP adds graze chance (+3% per point).

A glancing hit dealing only 0.25× damage; likelier against heavy armour.

• ▸ Graze chance = 3% for every point of target armour above the weapon’s Armour Piercing.
• ▸ A graze deals 0.25× the rolled damage.

A unit data flag governing whether a unit can disengage from melee.

• ▸ Units carry a “Can Fall Back” flag in the game data.
• ▸ Exact fall-back rules are not yet extracted from game data.

A reaction mechanic referenced in the game data.

• ▸ Weapons carry a “Pistol” flag, and units carry a melee-reaction flag in the game data.
• ▸ The game data references a pistol charge reaction (the “IgnorePistolChargeReaction” buff).
• ▸ The exact rules for this reaction are not yet extracted from game data.

A charge mechanic referenced in the game data.

• ▸ The game data references a charge reaction (the “IgnorePistolChargeReaction” buff).
• ▸ The exact charge rules and bonuses are not yet extracted from game data.

A faction resource earned from model deaths that powers faction passives.

• ▸ Each unit has a per-model momentum value (momentumPerModelDeath) contributed when its models die.
• ▸ The current momentum total feeds each faction’s passive effect.
