killer7 notes

being my attempt to put numbers to killer7 combat.

players

footnotes to players table

• equipping the power ring raises your effective power level by one. column 1 is also 0+ring, etc.
• can't measure harman1's damage because he kills in one the few things he's allowed to shoot at.
• can't measure harman1's vitality because he's never in a position to take damage. visually it's 330 and continuing off the screen.
• can't rate the golden gun; all we know is that it kills black smiles and undetected smiles, neither of which can be damaged by other weapons.
• mask's transformations don't seem to affect his power or stamina.
• i don't know what's going on with mask5+ring. he definitely does lower damage than without the ring.

special attacks

dan/demon shell

one-hit kill on any smile vulnerable to bullets. breaks mithril armour. also one-hit kill on duplicator red core. based on this it would have to do at least 2000 damage. however, against ayame #2, it only seems to do about 200 damage (unrelated to dan's power?)

kevin/twin sparkling

throws seven normal knives.

kevin/shine sparkling

200 damage (regardless of kevin's power?)

coyote/custom shell

4x normal damage

mask/shock shell

2x normal damage

mask/focus shell

4x normal damage. critical hit against backside smile.

mask/(5-tube special)

same effect as demon shell. demolishes duplicators. also works on spiral and backside.

enemy vitality

as in eternal darkness, different enemies of the same type often have different stats. here, though, i haven't tried to list all variations. these are just the most common or the first-encountered examples.

the listed figures are for normal difficulty. on deadly, bloodbath and face the swarm, vitality is doubled, with certain exceptions.

for bulletproof enemies you normally kill with a critical, like spiral or backside, the vitality figure is based on grenades.

footnotes to enemy vitality table

duplicator red core

on bloodbath, i've delivered over 10000 without killing it. i'm assuming it doesn't take damage in the normal way. (but should really check up to at least 65535 to be sure...)

phantom smile

shoot the weak point at a distance = critical hit; shoot it anywhere at pointblank range = critical hit; grenade at pointblank range = doesn't kill. which means, either it's grenadeproof, or it has enough energy to survive a grenade...

kurahashi & akiba

i've seen akiba take 2 hits or 3 hits from kaede, but never just 1, even at power 5+ring where her damage is more than double its basic value. kurahashi takes between 2 and 4 shots. both these guys seem to have inconsistent vitality levels, but they do generally survive more damage on deadly/bloodbath, and they do take more damage from kaede when she's powered up. (i'm not a good enough shot to try it with anyone else.)

ayame/security

i keep losing count here. the figure on deadly/bloodbath might be more like 6300, and it might simply be double her energy on normal, which i'm also not sure about. basically, she takes tons of damage.

enemy damage

damage for bloodbath is the same as for deadly, except for the basic smile attack.

face the swarm could use either column (makes no difference for target0.)

wearing the stamina ring cuts damage received to 3/4 listed value, rounding down.

attacks listed as "fatal" must do at least 336 on normal (to kill mask+stamina) and at least 400 on bloodbath (to kill harman9+stamina).

handsome man

footnotes to handsome man table

• no rings seem to be in effect.
• your opponents never die from their wounds, only from critical hits, so it's not possible to rate their vitality. the "hurt by attacks" column just notes whether they *look* like they're taking damage.
• coyote and dan stop taking damage after eight hits. the damage in the table is solely based on changes in the eye graphic.
• kevin has a weird effect where he only takes damage when he throws his next knife.
• after mask transforms, both of you are immune to normal attacks.
