Cannon Damage.

I wiped all of my cannons off of my ship's deck. My damage showed a value of 36%. Then, I added 50 Level-6 Overlords and spied myself again. It still showed 36%. So I put back *all* of my cannons (a mix of Overlords and Bastions). It still showed 36%! Why does it *not* change? What am I missing? Thank you.

 

Ahoy Dream~Crusher!

The Damage bit within Spy window display only the % bonuses towards the cannon damage bonus.

In this case:

- Gem
- Bonus Map Buff (5%)
- Bonus Map Buff (7%)
- Gunpowder Flask Castle
- League Bonus​

Two questions: (1) I do not have the gunpowder flask castle on this boat. So I guess that isn't one of the components of the 36%. (Are you saying it is something else other than that? and (2) So are you saying there is no way to ascertain the power (quality of cannons) a player has, versus yourself? I had a player with 58% damage smoke my ship, which had 89% damage at the time. (And, in this case, my ship is no slouch)! I am still not sure how he did that. Am I misreading this statistic?

 

Ahoy!

As I pointed out:

Spy window display only the % bonuses towards the cannon damage bonus - additionally please note not all of them are included eg. skill​

So you will have to find out yourself what you've got and what you don't have, I simply provided you with an example.

Please be aware that no Cannon within the game provide Cannon Damage stats.

So what you are saying is the "damage" stat is basically worthless. Who cares what bonuses the other player has? The point of my question was to find a stat that would give a player in PvP an idea of how their firepower stacks up against another player or players. For example, a way to estimate that a player probably has mostly Level 5 and 6 Overlords, against a ship with all Level 6 Bastions.

Anyways - thank you. (And you didn't have this part in your original answer: "additionally please note not all of them are included eg. skill").

 

Ahoy!

No, damage stat is not "worthless".

I have provided you with answers to your questions - to the best of my ability.

Since there is nothing else I can assist with this thread will be closed.
