Rats in Hobo Fights
How do rats help in hobo battles?
- In a hobo battle, a rat gets the chance to do damage every 5 rounds of the hobo battle.
What determines which rat does damage in a hobo battle?
- Agility makes a rat more likely to be the one doing damage in a hobo fight. The higher your agility vs. your opponents agility, the more likely your rat is to do damage to the hobo you're attacking.
What determines how much damage my rat does in a hobo battle?
- As Malord originally explained it, a rats damage is X% of the total life of the rat owner’s life.
- This X% is influenced by the Strength of the attacking rat and the Concentration of the defending rat.
- Generally speaking, the higher your hobos level, the more damage your rat will do if it gets the hits in hobo fights.
- Your rats Vitality is not a factor on how much damage is done in hobo battles.
If I have more than one rat, which one fights in hobo fights?
- The highest leveled rat will fight with you in a hobo fight. If you have 2 rats with the same level, then the rat listed in the topmost slot is used for the fight
