The strongest special ant by average skill damage.

In considering the best special ants, how much damage can he do? is a rather easy to understand evaluation axis. So, I calculated the average skill damage of the special ants and compared them.

How to calculate the damage factor

We’ll call the average skill damage dealt in 8 turns the “damage factor”. The damage factor is calculated as follows: Expected skill activation value x damage rate x number of attack rows x number of attacks.

Expected skill activation value

This is the average number of times the skill will be activated in 8 turns. For example, if it says “40% chance,” then 8 x 40% = 3.2 times. If it says, “Prepare for one turn, 50% chance,” it’s 2.46 times, based on this article.

damage rate

The percentages are based on the damage calculations listed in the skill description when the specialization ant lvl is 50. For example, if it says “441% (+ Special ant lvl4%)”, then 441+504=641%.

Example of Damage Factor Calculation

Let’s calculate the damage factor, using Gold Armor(GA) as an example.

Skill name	range	chance	preparation	Expected value	squads	times	Damage rate	Damage Factor
Big Bite	2	55%		4.40	1	1	358%	15.7
Rampant Attack	3	40%		3.20	2	1	241%	15.4
Blitzkrieg	5	40%	1Tpreparation	2.11	3	1	282%	17.9

Biting is 4.40 x1 x1 x358% =15.7%, Frenzied Attack is 3.20 x2 x1 x241% =15.4%, and Assault is 2.11 x3 x1 x282% =17.9%. Since GA skills 2, 5, and 8 all deal damage, the damage factor for all three skills combined is 49.0, which is the amount of damage that GA deals.

Strength Ranking of Specialized Ants by Damage Factor

An ant that can deal damage with all three of its skills is naturally higher.

This is a comparison based on pure firepower, so I hope it will be helpful when you are thinking about which ant would do more damage in a Mamo fight, for example.
