Damage boost stacking was tested

General Discussion

I don’t know if this is new to anyone, but a video on YouTube confirmed that all damage boosting abilities stack.

Damage boost+Supercharger+Nanoboost yield 130% more damage.

But that’s not all. Zenyatta’s discord orb amplifies damage that is already amplified. It doesn’t simply add another 30%.

Example: Doomfist’s fully charged Rocket Punch(without wall impact) deals 100 damage. If you apply the boosts from damage boost, supercharger and nanoboost, he deals 130% more, resulting in 230 damage. If he also uses his boosted damage on an opponent that is discorded, you add 30% of the 230 damage he does with all the boosts already affecting it. Topping it off at 299 damage.

Conclusion: All damage boosting effects stacked yield 299% damage output or a multiplier of 2.99.

Look up: Overwatch MythBusters - DAMAGE BOOST STACKING - Plus Damage Resistance Stacking

On YouTube.

Edit: Or scroll down and hit the link provided by Prett.

Edit: I wanted to show how Discord orb works in tandem with other singlular damage boosts.

If we assume your damage is 100:

Damage boost + Discord = 169 damage. Adds 69% or a multiplier of 1.69.

Supercharger/Nanoboost + Discord= 195
Adds 95% or a mulitplier of 1.95

It’s weird to think now that Mercy plus Zen is actually stronger than we previously thought.

That’s what is cool about this game. Players are always finding new combinations that can reek havoc.

A hero like Zenyatta can fit into pretty much every team composition for the most part (much like Lucio), and certain healers are able to essentiate that. It’s super awesome!
