Weapon Accuracy?

from Elemental Forums

I'm sure this is a silly question, but I haven't come across a satisfactory explanation in any documentation I've found, and search turns up too much general garbage to sift through.

 

My ranged attackers are missing quite frequently.  Is there any way to improve this?  Does Dexterity, for instance, increase accuracy?  How are hits calculated?

 

Thanks, and I apologize for what is certainly a basic question.

the way I found to increase accuracy was to increase skills as a tech advance.  I imagine that leveling up helps too.  I had a group of 9 fanatic archers that would put down some good consistent ranged damage.

Attacks fully absorbed by armor register as misses--that's most likely what you're seeing. Training archers in parties, squads, or companies should improve their damage.

Thank you, both.

'Miss' is a poor UI explanation for what's happening here. 'No Damage' and a visual indicator of the roll would help tell the player what's going on.
