About this chip

Punishment is a chip that uses an unusual mechanism to hurt enemies, and it carries a certain amount of risk for your leek. It relies on a new effect: EFFECT_LIFE_DAMAGE, which may well catch more than one player off guard. This effect deals damage that isn't boosted by Strength but by your life. This opens the way to a new strategy: invest to reach 19,000 Life Points, add chips that raise your leek's life, and have plenty of healing, so that the life loss you inflict on your opponent exceeds their remaining health. Note: don't forget to factor in your opponent's relative and absolute shields; it would be a shame to lose so much life only to end up badly weakened, stuck right in front of them!

Calculating the chip's effects on your leek

Be especially careful in Battle Royale, because power, vulnerability and critical hits all affect the damage, which means you can kill yourself:

Power works like strength does for regular damage, modifying the damage by a factor of 1 + getPower() / 100.
Critical hits add 30% damage: with the current chip, which reduces your life by 75%, a critical hit makes you lose 97.5%!
Since vulnerability on the caster adds damage, you can go over 100% of your life, especially after a critical hit.
Good news, though: damage return is applied before the 75% is calculated, so if it doesn't kill you on the spot, it won't finish off your leek when the chip itself takes its share of your life.
Of course, your own leek's shields count too.

Experience shows that this chip isn't made for that kind of fight, but it's handy for landing a finishing blow in 1v1. And it goes without saying that you won't waste Punishment on a poor little Puny Bulb, right?
