Affinities
Affinity decides whether a hit has a chance to become stronger or weaker. The penalty matters most in boss teams because Weak Hits can remove crits, lower damage, and stop control effects.
Positive Matchup
30% chance to Strong Hit. Strong Hits deal 30% more damage.
Negative Matchup
30% chance to Weak Hit. Weak Hits cannot crit, deal 30% less damage, and cannot place buffs or disables.
Neutral Matchup
Matching affinities, or hitting Eternal with a non-Eternal hero, have no strong or weak modifier.
Eternal Heroes
Eternal heroes have a 10% Strong Hit chance into any affinity and cannot Weak Hit.
