Each number is the expected hit against the selected unit (stock Lowell at the level cap by default), after that unit's resistance and the tier's attack multiplier, and before hit chance, dodge and guard. Monsters have no energy cost - their skills are gated by cooldown only (energy is a player-unit resource).
