On Mirage's Lethal Strike

by sunnydaler » Thu Feb 08, 2018 11:30 am

I wanted to find out the percentage of her instant kill chance. The wiki says 5% (http://kingdomrushtd.wikia.com/wiki/Instant_kill) but in my tests on Steam, it wasn't that low.

Her successful instant-kill shows "SPLAT!" sign.

I recorded my gameplays with music muted.
Because Lethal Strike is performed "in the blink of an eye" and she moves around, I had to be attentive.

1st (storm atoll campaign): 8 out of 38
2nd (the sunken citadel campaign): 13 out of 45
3rd (""): 15 out of 54
4th (""): 15 out of 51
5th (""): 13 out of 54
6th (""): 15 out of 52
7th (nazeru's gate campaign): 10 out of 34
8th (""): 9 out of 37
9th (the sunken citadel campaign): 9 out of 52
10th (""): 14 out of 53
11th (""): 14 out of 55
12th (dusk chateau campaign): 12 out of 60

147 out of 585 is 25.1282....%.

585 is small sample size and I'm planning to play her more and update it.


Once she consecutively succeeded 4 attempts in a row. That was awsome. 8-)

That’s some dedicated testing for one ability.

The devs might have buffed her insta-kill chance on Steam version without notice. But who knows...
In my experience, her instant kill chance seems to be very low on the flash version. And it is hard to notice on the flash version because it doesn't show "SPLAT!" on successful attempt.

I changed the post title because I want to talk about more than just instant-kill chance.


1. In the flash version at armorgames.com, her Lethal Strike actually deals 60/120/180 damage unlike its description (90/180/270 damage). This should have been fixed long time ago.

2. The wiki article says Lethal Strike deals physical damage but I found that it deals true damage to all target regardless of armor (Earth Shaman, Saurian Myrmidon, Giant Scorpion, Bloodshell) or physical immunity (Phantom Warrior) in Steam and flash versions.

I tested
Earth Shaman in Ma'qwa Urqu campaign
Saurian Myrmidon in Beresad's Lair campaign
Giant Scorpion in Buccaneer's Den heroic
Phantom Warrior in Desecrated Grove heroic
Bloodshell in Storm Atoll campaign

I would appreciate if anyone could check the mobile version. :P

I started testing Mirage on flash version. I plan to test 120 lethal strikes in one session. I figured out that it needs about 1400 samples to derive a reliable percentage (95% confidence level, and 2.5 confidence interval). So, it'll take a while.
1. 20 out of 120
2. 13 out of 120

: 33 out of 240 = 13.75%

Wow! Thanks a lot!
Now I can quit and update the wiki article. :-)

(btw, I got a message from ironhide that they'll check out the flash version's lethal strike damage which is different from the description.)

(off the topic)
There is one serious issue that puts her in a position of inferiority.
All KRF ranged heroes can heal while doing ranged attack, except Mirage. :cry: :evil:
Is there any other hero who doesn't heal when not in melee combat? So unfair.
