Impossible 1% Defender survival

Even after firing specials that would definitely knock out the defender, MANY of them are cutting off damage at 1%. Not defenders with survival 1% as part of their abilities or a synergy.
This is occurring very frequently.

You are correct. Somehow the defenders survive at 1% and then they come after you with a vengeance.
The same sp attack damage that would be double their remaining health, leaves them at 1%, but their sp attack that normally takes half of your health somehow kills you!!!

Survivorship bias and confirmation bias

Haha.

Normally my response when this happens to me is "&%#%&* 1% bug, #$%%& game stooged me again"

Pretty sure there isn't actually a 1% bug but damn, it's annoying.

Thanks for chiming in without flaming me. Chalking it up to RNG and my need to improve my end fights. Thanks!

This used to be a thing and I still see it, but now probably more in line with "rng", but can almost guarantee they had this coded in the past. Lucky I think they've fixed that coding or at least made it much more rare.

The math issue: We won't see 0% until the defender is KO'd, so the defender shows 1% when at health from .00001% up to 1.99% (or whatever decimal they round down at).

If the defender has 250,000 health you'll only see 30% for ~2500 worth of health. BUT, 1% health will appear from just under 5000hp all the way to 1hp, so twice as much.

I wonder if you're going to open a thread for 2%, 3%, 4% and so on...
