Fix Troll KO Mechanics

[Kaios]

Trolls are insanely easy tbh. You can kill lv1-2s with like 50 MC/UA 10 str 10 agi low/no armor.
THE SEKRIT PRO TOP STRAT if they start shitting on you, you can just walk away from them and use defenses

Ok but if you do get knocked out by an L5 troll for example it can do something like 200-250+ HHP damage not counting the HHP damage that may have already been taken during the fight, that is quite a lot and it gets worse as they get stronger. I'm not really sure jordan is talking about the level 1-2 trolls in the context of this thread.

I would argue a 10 attribute 33k lp char with nothing but a sword and a spruce cap verse a l1 troll is a "harder" fight than a regular char vs. l9. I mean, they have the same mechanics, you literally just need to WALK AWAY when it's gonna hit you. I'm pretty sure they're intended to have a high grievous%

[Kaios]

The main difference in that regard is a punch from level 9 troll at 20-40 opening has a significantly different impact than from a level 2 troll. Running around is a viable option sure but the way openings work makes the fight stacked against you from the very beginning, when something attacks faster than you can lower your opening even when you focus entirely on doing that it's natural that you are going to be constantly on 20-40 opening or more when you are tanking.

I would consider running to be more efficient if the cave-in attack wasn't so unpredictable but really if you take 5-10 guys and some do sideswipe, some uppercut, you are reducing all of that risk to basically nothing as you don't even need to bother trying to run away.

this is what i love in this community. instead of explaining why ur wrong, theres always 'ur wrong" and no explanation why. even if there was one, either cite it or explain again because last time it was apparently fucked up. why anyony should believe he is wrong if thats everything you said lol

[jordancoles]

Sure, you can sprint in the opposite direction, but that's not the problem I'm even talking about

IF you eat a KO, the fucker will KO you with the first hit and then slap your shit again as you're on your way to the ground, which has a really high chance of killing you even without rage

It's fine that they're tough, but I'd rather the KO mechanics be consistent at least

[wonder-ass]

thats how it should be tho, trolls should stay spooky.

So one of my villagers died today from full HP to a troll. He didn't have rage and so he was expecting to just eat a KO but since trolls hit twice per hit, he got KO'd and then the 2nd hit killed him instantly.

Operating as intended, no fix needed.

Explaining to Kaios is a waste of keystrokes. He has his mind made up no matter how many experienced players school him. Look at his combat thread to get a taste of this.

Sounds like a simple solution. Don't get KOd or bring characters you are afraid to die on.
Removing risk from one of the few end game experiences is not fun.

Removing risk from one of the few end game experiences is not fun.

Which, according to this topic, doesn't exist for the ones who already know how to kill trolls -making this just another display of 'I got mine, fuck you'.

Great community. /s
