Damage formula?

Magnifico 25 Feb 2010 14:49

Now that we know the standard damage formula for hacking, maybe we can figure out the precise bonus this tool gets from code finesse.

Here's a start:

Fractal Expantion
1 intensity + 1 cf : 2 hard, 1 proc
1 intensity + 1 cf : 1 hard, 1 hard, 1 proc
1 intensity + 1 cf : 1 hard, 1 proc + 1 hard
1 intensity + 1 cf : 1 hard
1 intensity + 2 cf : 1 proc, 2 hard
1 intensity + 2 cf : 1 proc, 3 hard
1 intensity + 2 cf : 2 proc, 2 hard
1 intensity + 2 cf : 1 proc, 3 hard
1 intensity + 2 cf : 1 proc, 2 hard
1 intensity + 2 cf : 2 proc, 2 hard
1 intensity + 2 cf : 2 proc, 2 hard
1 intensity + 4 cf : 1 proc + 3 hard
1 intensity + 4 cf : 3 hard?, 4 proc?
1 intensity + 4 cf : 2 hard, 3 proc
1 intensity + 4 cf : 2 proc + 2 hard
1 intensity + 4 cf : 1 proc + 3 hard
1 intensity + 4 cf : 2 hard
1 intensity + 4 cf : 4 proc
1 intensity + 5 cf : 4 proc + 2 hard
1 intensity + 5 cf : 4 proc + 2 hard
1 intensity + 5 cf : 3 proc + 3 hard

Data Point: 9 Code Finesse yields 3-6 damage.
Data Point: 10-12 Code Finesse yields 4-8 damage.

Fractal expansion intensity guess

Intensity = square root of code finesse, round up?

Note: Intensity still counts as 1, apparently, for the purpose of getting past defensive tools.

With 19 code finesse I did 10 processor damage against a virus which is the most I can remember getting. I also then proceeded to get a 7 vs the final gatekeeper.

Hansen's Consulting seems to want to be the wannabe Roy. Level 6 site that blocks you out at a single alert cancel.
