Regarding Magik’s Limbo chance.

Icecold2099

Per her sig ability she has a 25% chance to enter limbo after filling 1 bar or power. This is based ona 5* with lvl 200 sig ability.

Why then does the 4* version in dungeons trigger limbo every single time she gets a bar of power?!?!

For that matter why does the AI champs trigger their abilities soooooooooooo much more often than the percentage would lead you to believe??? This being in any mode of gameplay except arenas.

Hey there,

Unless the AI has a Buff that increases their chance to trigger their abilities, they do not have more of a chance to trigger an ability than you do with the same Champion at the same Sig Level. I know it doesn't always feel this way, but this is the case. The AI and You both use the exact same champions (unless other specified, like the EX version of Champions in Labyrinth), and it's not possible for us to change their abilities, except with Buffs.

@Icecold2099 it is acually a 50% chance for her to proc limbo on her 1 bar. It says 25% chance to proc multiplied by pretty much 100%

You should probably read the bottom line, where it says “based on current signature level...”.

25% is the base, what you get For simply awakening the champ.

It's not just 25%, if you look closer it's 25% times 99.96, it's actually 50% at sig 200 if I understand correctly. A 4* at Max sig has a 40% chance upon filling 1 bar of power. At sig 1 it will only be 25% for a 5* and 20% for a 4*.

Yea it's pretty much 50% at 200 sig notice the green 99% increased chance on the base 25%

A case of not reading the abilities before ranting

This is simply another case of confusing language regarding the math.

To be honest, it should be simplified to state that:
"After filling a bar of power, Magik has a <25-50%>% chance to enter a state of limbo... The chance increases by <12.5-25%> after filling two bars" where the % chance is the adjusted number based on sig level instead of showing a number and then adding a variable multiplicative line later.

Why do the game devs insist on making the math so complicated?

It is confusing because if you multiply 25% by 99.6% you still get about 25%. It does not say the chances are added, just multiplied. Just another example of kabam’s bizarro math

Ummm.......what? If you multiply a certain number by 99.96% it efecctivly doubles her chance for limbo. I am curious, how do yall think that doubling a number means it stays the same?

Yeah the math is funky but it’s actually multiplied by 1.9996 about 2x

It has always been weird that kabam has not fixed this description yet. They just need to put a ‘1’ in front of that last percentage — then the multiplication makes sense.

Epsilon3

Are we multiplying it by the percentage itself or that percent of the original number?

25% x 0.996

Or

25% x (almsot) 25

I’m assuming the former but the way it is said could be interpreted as either one. However if you concerted that last % into a decimal that would make all the difference

Anon1

It’s:
25% * 199.96%
which can be written as:
.25 * 1.9996 = .4999
which converts to:
49.99%

But, per earlier discussion, this is not how the awaken ability is written. But it is how it actually works.
