So I was having an argument with Vip3r about his combo being buffed as the result of an unintended effect of Lex Luthor's Armor. I thought I would post up an explanation of what I think is happening and demonstrating the effect. In larger combos, this effect can increase the output of a combo by up to 10%.

Not sure if NRS would like know about this, but: colt

lvl1 armor takes 10% damage
In the above demonstration, it causes a 7% increase in damage. I've tested it with smaller strings and the effect is less pronounced (as little as only 2-3%)--I believe this is because it is affecting damage scaling, so the more hits, the more pronounced the effect. Are you saying that this effect is intended?

its effected by damage scaling and other things ya, but essentially he takes more damage at lvl1, less at lvl2, none at lvl3.

I see--after reading the comments in the Character Power section of the demo, it mentions the damage decrease on level 2 and 3, but not the damage increase on level 1, which I why I thought it may be a bug.

I'm assuming now that it was your intention to permeate the 25% damage increase throughout a combo that begins from an armored hit, not just the hit that was absorbed by the armor? If so, damn Lex is getting blown up for trying to armor lol. Thanks for the explanation.

he can still block and move around with armor on. doing that will help against "getting blown up" for trying to use armor. not blinding doing armor charge when the opponent is free will helps also.

1 slot of armour every 5 seconds vs what doomsday gets for 6 seconds every 10 is kinda funny to me.

Why does lex have a bad side? Does doomsday have a bad side?

doomdays gets reacted and lex doesn't. ppl will learn what normals are faster than his and what options he'll have when you hit him ect. chances are you dont have a doomsday diploma yet after against him for a day at the end of a demo ladder.

To be honest, I'm getting better. Took me 50 tries to beat Doomsday on very hard on my first go. Now its on my 1st or second. I'm learning to spam 11 with batman because its safe and doomsday is pretty slow. Still, the cooldown and duration if it is so long. It effectively means that doomsday holds all the cards because you can do nothing to him that will threaten him. No juggles, no combos, just 3% damage every now and then if you're lucky.

You should talk to someone on the iOS team about making the Doomsday Diploma a support card.
