I think the DE Crystal Titan attacks that can be resisted by Ambrosia inspirations have a "Primordial" damage type, but I'm not certain, so I didn't add that to the list. --Eabrace 20:14, 25 October 2007 (EDT)

Isn't the Titan damage 'Prismatic' ? I Should be doing an Eden run this weekend, so I'll try to remember and check. Catwhoorg 16:21, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
Isn't it Sparkle Motion damage?  ;) - Snorii 16:32, 26 October 2007 (EDT)

Quantum Damage

Quantum damage wasn't entirely replaced by Negative damage. Quantum x does a base amount of Negative damage to everyone and then it does more damage labeled Nicti to a Warshade or Peacebringer. I can't verify this, not having a level 50 hero but it's what I've read. Could someone verify? →Torin23 17:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

But that's what is special about it. The first part of the damage is Negative; this affects everyone. There is additional damage that only affects Kheldians that is unresistable; this is labeled Nicti damage. This is why when a WS/PB teams up, they have their teammates take out the Quantum whatever. →Torin23 10:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Base damage for squid/dwarf form

Michiyo and I have looked into this.

The inobvious bit is that Nova Glinting Eye isn't the same power as Glinting Eye, and that the right-click Info doesn't really respect this. (Most obviously, you can get it to tell you the Recharge Time is 5 seconds even in human form). Nova Glinting Eye's damage scale is 1.16, where Glinting Eye's is 1.

Nova Glinting Eye does just over 2.5x the damage to a like minion. (1.16 * 1.2 * 1.45) / 0.8 is 2.523; ie, including the squidform's 45% damage buff, the damage it actually does is what you would expect if squidform had a ranged base damage of 1.2.

Hence I have restored this information. Thunderforce (talk) 18:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
