Hey all, I will link this response into the other threads that have popped up about Tauraeus. Tauraeus’ Spell is intended to have a 10:1 ratio, also followed this up with the development team for any further information that we can share. Ketras the Bull has been mentioned as a comparison as it has a 2:1 ratio. Something to consider with this specific example is Ketras’ spell applies splash damage (boosted by Life, Attack and Armor). So while it applies the full 2:1 boosted damage to the initial targetted enemy, it then applies **half damage** to any potential targets available (above and below due to the splash damage effect). Another comparison that has been made is Gaard’s Avatar which also has a 2:1 boost ratio, applied to all enemy troops but this is **only boosted by Armor**. Whereas Tauraeus’ spell will deal the total damage to all enemy Troops and is boosted by all 3 stats being Life, Attack and Armor. The combination of how the damage is boosted as well as the damage to all enemies is why it has a different boost ratio in comparison to other Troops that appear to have a similar spell. Hopefully, this provides some insight into Taureaus’ design.
