I gotta say - I almost didn't open this thread. The way you worded it, I was sure it was going to be another spam post pumping some BS cannabis product or something like that.

Regarding your question - the documentation is incredibly light, but I *think* it will equalize to the highest HP% champ on your team. I could absolutely be wrong though, because as you indicated, that heal would make no sense if that was how it worked. Perhaps it takes an average of the HP%?

😆 at kram... I thought same

Well... do you guys have any suggestion to word it differently? I mean, I'm new to the forum and haven't encountered those spam threads yet and kind of wanna know the answer 😔

You're fine. :) Just not a combination of words we usually see in a post title so the brain goes there. 

As for your question, as I understand equalize as a mechanic: after the heal takes place, I think it'll take an average of all your champs HP. I don't think it makes the heal useless though, because it will prevent your highest HP champ(s) from losing more HP. 

I do agree, just from what makes more sense, the combination of "heal lowest HP Champ" + "equalize team to average HP" is the most appealing. I just couldn't confirm it yet and maybe Plarium thought of something different. 

We are currently doing some test. For now we are certain, that champs can lose HP due to the equalization, so it is defenitively not equalized to the highest HP champ.

So - like you said - an average looks very likely. But we will test some more to exclude other possibilities.

Also, it seems to be according to HP%, just to confirm the obvious. 🙈  

It's interesting that Sinesha's equalize HP and Castigator's skill have a different wording in the skill descritpion. For Sinesha, it is: 

Equalizes the HP of all allies. The HP levels of all allies will be
brought up to the level of the ally with the highest HP. Then heals the
target ally by 10% of their MAX HP. 

I use her a lot, it definetly works like described. From the different description Castigator has, I guess his skill works differently. But I never used that champ, I didn't even know a champ with that name exists in Raid, so I can't say for sure.

Yeah, definitely. We encountered Sinesha as well, while researching this. 

I guess it would be quite op, with the heal going first and then equalizing to the champ with highest HP.  

Admittedly this is what I was basing my conclusion on as well. But the wording on Sinesha explicitly states after equalizing, so the heal makes sense. For Castigator ... who knows?

So, okay ... It is definitely based on an average. What kind of average is hard to identify, but it looks like it is as simple as:

Champ 1: 80%   80/100 HP               -> 90% 90/100 HP    

Champ 2: 80%   80/100 HP               -> 90% 90/100 HP

Champ 3: 100%   200/200 HP           -> 90% 180/200 HP

Champ 4: 100%   200/200 HP           -> 90% 180/200 HP

            -> 90% for all Champs

instead of:

Champ 1: 80%     80/100 HP            -> 93,3% 93,3/100 HP

Champ 2: 80%     80/100 HP            -> 93,3% 93,3/100 HP

Champ 3: 100%   200/200 HP          -> 93,3% 186,7/200 HP

Champ 4: 100%   200/200 HP          -> 93,3% 186,7/200 HP 

-> 560/600 HP-Pool -> 93,3% for all Champs 

I guess this goes too far and there are only very limited cercumstances, where this makes a difference. So it is also quite difficult to find out. My friend and I just had too much fun discussing it, so I thought I could share it.

Nevertheless it is an average, that seems certain now. 

Thanks for sharing your testing, though I am still not exactly sure how it works :)

So do the champs end up at 90,90,180,180?

🙈 Yes, I should add that. That's at least how it looks. Quite difficult to measure the difference ^^

We had one Champ on low HP, around 20% let's say. He is also the one with by far the lowest MAX HP of the team and everyone else was at full HP.

After using Castigator's ability everyone ended up at around 85%, which feels too low for the second calculation considering the HP-distribution in the team. 

The problem is, that the two steps of the ability happen too fast in succession. So you can't see by what amount the initial part heals.

If I pull him from a shard, I might go into the numbers. Sadly, my friend who actually got him isn't into that. 😔
