posted by peddroelm 25 March 2016

125 * (1 + MeleeDamageResearch ) * (1 + MeleeGearPiece + TCbonus ) * (1 + sum_power_bonuses ) * 2vsFrozen

TC bonus applies to melee attack ONLY IF it is the attack that breaks cloak.
FROZEN TARGETs TAKE DOUBLE (true multiplier) DAMAGE FROM MELEE

Test 1

Ymir soldier test (heavy muscle weave 25% MD, 25% MD strength boost pads, 15% PD commando, 3% PD N7 chest)
Melee damage
Timediff: 196.970 YMIR Shield Damage : 230.469
Timediff: 0.898 YMIR Shield Damage : 230.469

125 * 1.25 * 1.25 * 1 * (1 + 0.03 + 0.15) = 230.46875

Adrenaline rush has no effect.

Test 2
level 2 infiltrator 3% PD ; TC Lvl 2 20% WD & MD

Cloak + Melee
Timediff: 19.600 YMIR shield Damage : 154.500
Timediff: 0.764 YMIR shield Damage : 128.751
Timediff: 0.714 YMIR shield Damage : 128.751
Timediff: 0.714 YMIR shield Damage : 128.751

125 * 1 * 1 * (1 + 0.2) * (1 + 0.03) = 154.5
125 * 1 * 1 * 1 * (1 + 0.03) = 128.75


Very short duration on damage bonus. Maybe it will be better at TC level 4.Still need to check if TC melee bonus is multiplicative with heavy muscle weave 25% MD & 25% MD strength boost pads or if it adds to one of them.


Timediff: 0.134 Geth Prime health Damage : 10.012 // pull 1 impact (buy guy prime)

Timediff: 121.995 Ymir Shield Damage : 368.750
125 * 1.25 * (1 + 0.25 + 0.75) * (1 + 0.15 + 0.03) = 368.75 // TC bonus is additive with either Melee research or gear . Needs extra test to see which
// Melee vs frozen
Timediff: 0.018 Ymir Health Damage : 460.938
125 * 1.25 * 1.25 * (1 + 0.15 + 0.03) * 2 = 460.9375
// TC melee vs frozen
Timediff: 0.667 Ymir Health Damage : 737.500
125 * 1.25 * (1 + 0.25 + 0.75) * (1 + 0.15 + 0.03) * 2 = 737.5
