Hi folks
I cant confirm this and i keep getting mixed answers… Do boosts stack in this game? for example:
mercy damage boost + nano
Mercy damage boost + orissa ult
nano + orissa ult
Nano + orissa + mercy boost - all 3?
can anyone shed some light on this , ive been unable to get solid answers …
Thank you so much
Yes, they all stack. And dont forget about Baps Ult
They do.
And not only do they all stack, but they all stack if you use more than one too.
Like if you shoot through two Bap fields the damage is doubled and then doubled again.
Yes, they all stack.
Just be careful they don’t use it against you… like when you Firestrike a Genji through a Bap’s wall and he sent it back into your face.
…is this a SaltyPhish reference I spy??
i’m not sure all ‘stacked effects’ are equal.
multiplicative vs. additive.
and precedence, which ones applied first/favoured, order of operations, etc.
sometimes u +add to the base dmg somtimes u * the modified dmg etc
God damn it Phish.
thanks for the responses
not sure what the phish references are about lol
Yes. Damage boosting a Bastion firing through Bap’s window is kinda fun. He’ll make his happy noises for that!
Everything does stack, but when Echo copies Mercy you can’t double damage boost one hero. Like it doesn’t do 30% + 30% = 60%, it stays as 30% even though there is TWO Mercy damage boost beams connected.
Same with Zenyatta, can’t have two discord orbs on 1 hero. But these situations are just kinda specific and only possible with no limits mode or Echo
Don’t forget Orisa’s Ult/Ultimate
yeah they all stack. I’m suprised you haven’t seen YouTube videos about it
wow ive been playing since closed beta and didnt realize this lol…
just thought they would not allow it … gonna abuse this mechanic greatly now
I was told once there’s some sort of hard cap on how high the damage boosting will go, and that anything beyond that is wasted. I didn’t commit it exactly to memory, but it might be worth looking at the game’s Wiki (if there is one…there probably is) to see if anything is written on it.
Yeah I remember that too.
Yes you can stack damage boost if you want to try it if you have a mercy and a zen and you are playing pharah if you shot some like let’s say Ana with the rocket and your damage boost and zen discorded the Ana it will one shot her
They all stack, but technically discord is calculated separately from a boost.
You are correct. I’ve posted the math before, let me see if I can find it.
Yep!
Here it is:
SaltyPhish fired a FireStrike through a Bap’s wall
And the other Genji reflected it back into his face, killing him and his entire stack.
