I am a mathematician and wanted to give back to the community so I theorycrafted a formular to calculate Coral damage faster:
(P-N)/2
P = row power (excluding golds)
N = number of units with odd power (excluding golds)

Super, cool. Don't know why people downvoted this. Makes it a lot quicker to calculate rows.
Yeah, especially if there are massive rows. I am the kind of person who wants to double and triple check and if somebody has like 3 Foglets, 3 Crones and some other units on the backrow, it's faster to use my formular instead.
This can be applied to Merigolds Hailstorm too
Very good job, thank you kind Sir
Does one get to call himself a mathematician after 3rd grade ?
What, this formular saves me like 0.3 seconds. Using this as opposed to calculating it by thought is a huuuuuge step forward.
I always thought that Coral will damage each unit on a row by half of the selected units value. It is strange, why doesn't it just say something like: "Damage each Unit on a row by half of its power (rounding blah blah blah)". Why do I have to select a specific unit?
For reference, current text:
Deploy: Pick a Unit and Damage all Units on its row by half their Power (rounding down and ignoring Armor).
Unfortunately it's not work like that. Example: Row with(10+3+3+5+9)/2=15 so coral 15 damage with your formula. Reality she hits 5+1+1+2+4=13
You forgot to substract the number of odds. It would look like this:
BOARD: 10+3+3+5+9= 30 total
=> P=30
Number of units with odd power is 4
=> N=4
using my formular:
(P-N)/2 = (30-4)/2 = 26/2 = 13
You are right.My bad.It works perfect
actually it works u forgot to subtract 4 (4 odd powers) before dividing by 2 as he mentioned in the formula if u do you'll get 13
Wow this feels like a shitpost yet it is really helpful. Good job!
Good work, I suggest publishing this in a theoretical Gwent journal.
okay thanks, I will
I've got a formular for calculating frost damage too if you'd like:
U*(1+N)-(O*N) = D
U = Amount of non gold units placed in frost
N = Nithrals on your side of the board
O = Amount of units(non gold) at 1 str
D = Frost damage
Pretty good :)
Whooosh
