AC power

how do you AC someone successfully?

was it 4x their covert power or was it 3x their covert power?
Also, what if they have critical on?
does that affect anything?


Thanks!

Re: AC power

u just have to have a higher AC than their covert, also must have a higher attack than their def. i dont think critical affects it except they get phased after so many attacks. sorry if this is wrong.

Re: AC power

Nox causes the phasing, Crit increases covert power, and you can AC through a standing defense. It just cost more.

I believe it just cost you more but is still possible, I'll try to get a known ACer over here to comment.

Re: AC power

0 loses the defense needs to be 0, and you still have to beat their covert power.

Re: AC power

Nope. You don't need to beat their covert power.
You need to have close to their covert power, but don't need to beat it.

actually your assassin needs to be larger than their covert.

but because of the fact that mercs and supers add to assassin power if there is no defense you don't necesarily have to start out with higher assassin than enemy covert

Re: AC power

For the other things here is from the updates:

Anticovert (AC) being tied to attack army vs. defence army
It was always intended to have a prerequisite on anticovert destroying covert. It needed an army to hide behind while it hunted. The weakest account ingame, with a large AC, should not be able to invade successfully the top realms
Instead of adding a minimum 'can or can not' AC-- a multiplier of (attack strength / defence strength) was added to the effects of the AC. Without a full army to hide behind, they cannot be as effective as they possibly can.
This way, even the weak army can send in AC and hunt covert, but the weak army does not do so as successfully. But they do do it....


and

Anti-Covert or Spy Killers
The amount of damage that can be done, is now modified by an attack/defence value when the attack is lower than the defence. In short, the effectiveness of the anti-covert is limited when the attack force is lower than the defence force. They simply do not have the same relative army to hide behind, in order to do their job...


And from the calc part (dont know if it is up to date)

War (attack) Anti-Intelligence Military Unit Death Rates and enemy Covert Agent Kill Rates: The base value for 'anti-intelligence power' is your anti-covert power minus their covert power. If they have no defence, each 2 normal military units, and each super, counts as an additional anti-intelligence unit - to a maximum of 3 times your anti-intelligence unit count. This amount is then multiplied by turns used divided by 15. This again is your base anti-intelligence power.
To determine how many enemy agents killed, it is your power from above, divided by their total covert divided by the number of spies they have (ie your power left divided by thier power per spy), up to a maximum of 3% of their spies on a 15 turn attack.
The amount of anti-intelligence units you lose (win or lose the attack is the same) is their defence power divided by your power per anti-intelligence agent to a maximum of 3% of your anti-intelligence agents. This means using anti-intelligence on a stronger defence force loses more anti-intelligence agents.
