Damage to your units
Expected hit against stock Lowell at the level cap, per combat difficulty tier. The tier set in the menu bar is highlighted; pick a saved unit to use its own resistances.
| Monster | Where | Easy | Normal | Hard | Very Hard | Devastation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Abyss Goblin Rider | Abyss F14-F19 | 16 | 44 | 110 | 137 | 165 |
 Goblin Rider | Festering Burrow F3-F4 | 25 | 67 | 168 | 210 | 252 |
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).
Magic Saturation (optional campaign toggle) adds up to +100% by day 100; assumed additive with the tier multiplier, unverified in game.
