PROs/CONs of increasing your HEALTH over the other Upgrades!
HEALTH BASICS 101
Health can be increased when you level up within your Upgrades section. Health increases 10 for every 1XP used to increase it. Every 10 health increase will also increase your damage taken and given when in battle. In addition, there will be a maximum increase in XP gained per battle.
Here is how it basically works, maximum health / 20 - 1. ie: (100 health/20-1=4XP max), so if you have 500 health you get max 24XP, (500 health/20-1=24XP max). The downside to increased health also comes increase damage, if you are fighting a person that has the same health as you. The fight damage is predicted by the person with the lowest health. ie: lvl 20 with 100 health attacks a lvl 160 with 500 health, the outcome is usually (1 damage to lvl 160) and (27-29 damage to lvl 20), same situation but lvl 20 with 120 health attacks lvl 160 with 500 health outcome is usually (1 damage to lvl 160) and (43-50 damage to lvl 20).
On the battles WON, you will be able to see the correlation of the XP and damage taken. ie: Battle someone on your lvl 20, both have 100 health outcome (you WIN receiving 14 damage - opponent receives 17 damage). Damage taken is 14/3=4.666XP, but the max is 4XP with the 100 Health. If the same was true of the battle (14-17 damage), but both were 110 or 120 health then you would gain 5XP. ie: (110/20-1=4.5XP rounded up would be 5XP or 120/20-1=5XP)
These 2 formulas work together, but can be a double edge sword depending on your goals. At least you can understand what are the predictors and how to manage your damage given and taken in these app games.
