•  Flash Arrow
  • Can now be slotted with Range enhancements
  • -ToHit increased from -6.25% to -18.76%
    • Half this debuff is now irresistible

 

 

How does "irresistible" work in this context? I'm not understanding the mechanics here I think

The main purpose of the Irresistable portion really is so AVs Purple Triangles of Doom don't make it totally pointless by eating 85% of the entire thing. 

 

So against a +0 AV if you have the -ToHit slotted up fully (so ~12 resistable and 12 irresistable) they'll take (12 + (12 * 0.15)) = 13.8% -ToHit rather than 24%

 

It has no effect on the effectiveness against a +4 enemy for example, the Purple Patch modifications kick in after the -ToHit is calculated. So a +4 AV will still reduce that to 0.48 of what it was against the +0, ending up with 6.624% -ToHit. 

 

Even a +4 standard enemy with no special -ToHit resistances will drop it from 24% to about 11.52%, there's nothing you can do to prevent that.

Thanks. I think I get that.
