Wrath Math - Can Kromac Kill Stormwall?


When I'm down 4 points in Scenario and need a Hail Mary charge to save me from humiliation I want to know 3 things. 
  • Can I One-Shot my target? (Because it's awesome)
  • Is there any chance of me killing my target if I am super lucky?
  • What are my chances of killing on average dice?

I've been having to fight Stormwall recently and I really need to know the math behind destroying it efficiently. So today I ask:


Can Kromac Kill Stormwall?


Now, I love Kromac. I make weird noises when I play him. My problem is that I think he can do more than he actually can sometimes and I charge him into situations only loaded dice can handle. It's probably not the best idea to attack a Stormwall with Kromac but it's sure fun to try.


(All math has been calculated for combat vs. Stormwall)

Kromac has a 97.22% Chance of hitting Stormwall on each attack

  • Damage on Average Dice? - 2.5 Damage
  • Kill on Average Dice? - Not Recommended (20 DMG)

So what I've learned is, No. You're probably not going to be able to kill Stormwall with Kromac. Your best shot is on your Feat Turn with Boosted Dice and even then you'll need above average dice rolls and find away to remove Arcane Shield if it has it.

I know that Circle has stuff to deal with Stormwall but If you guys have any ideas on how to give Kromac Smashy Smashy powers vs Stormwall please let me know because it'd be super fun and I'd get to make weird noises when I do.

I did really enjoy making that image.
