Clarification on Talents that Do Not Stack

[Anubis]

Hi All,

I'm currently a level 37 player, so I'm not brand new to the game, but not exactly a veteran either, and I'm hoping someone can provide some clarification regarding talent stacking. As an example, let's say you have all 4 squad camps filled with Flacos who have a base damage of 100 (just to keep the math simple). If you started with 1 Antonia at rank 5 (+30% Flaco damage, does not stack), with no other talents added, then damage for all Flacos should be increased to 130. My questions are:

1. If a second identical Antonia were added, I realize that damage for all Flacos wouldn't increase to 160, but are there any other advantages to having a second Antonia (again, assuming no additional talents)?

2. If a talent that adds +15% Flaco damage were added to the original Antonia, would damage for each Flaco then be 145 or does the "does not stack" limitation apply to secondary talents of the same sicario?

3. I can check the total benefit that my sicarios apply to my missiles by looking at the missile info in the Training Camp because it shows the missile base damage and then sicario bonus separately, but when I do the same thing with my Flacos, it only shows a fixed damage value that doesn't appear to change, regardless of which sicarios I have leading my squads. How/where can I view the impact that my sicario talents are having on my troops?

Thank you!

You kinda answered your self there , yes antonia have her effect to its respective squad that she's assigned to only, what's the benefit of having another identical Antonia? If you want to boost the other squad maybe, or have all 4 Antonia's and boost all squads , maybe you meant something else and I missed it

2. If a talent that adds +15% Flaco damage were added to the original Antonia, would damage for each Flaco then be 145 or does the "does not stack" limitation apply to secondary talents of the same sicario?

Talents go hand-by-hand with main trait of any sicario , means , for example : if one Antonia have 30% flaco damage as main trait , and you gave her another two talents, each of 15% flacko damage increase , then total damage for that specific squad of flacos that Antonia been assigned to will have a 60% flaco damage boost .

Just to simplify where I want you to go. Imagine you have a squad of falcos and you want to change it something else, where you go? You click on the squad camp , click on the (two figures in yellow) icon, you find "change" button , click on that. And follow the pictures below :


Click on the "i" icon

See the second picture below Now, See that value written in green, click on it lightly, and small pop up will appear explaining boost values and from what they come from. In this example i have a Feurzo assigned to my fuego quad in which he adds 30% fuego health, if he have talents (let's say another 15% feugos health) it will add up here as one value from Feurzo .

Those for health values per this example, if you want to see damage values just go to the second tap and click on the green etc etc etc.

That's very helpful, thank you!! I didn't realize the boosts only applied to the squad the sicario is leading. The wording used for Poison's talent (specifying squad damage) led me to assume the ones that didn't specify squad-only were applied to all troops of that type. The way you explained it makes much more sense, thanks again!
