Passive: Critical strike- 25% chance to crit for 240% of your "Total Damage." To sort of prove the point, let's take damage given by Heart of Tarrasque and compare it to Daedalus. Therefore, buying a Daedalus/ Crystalys when you only have a Mask of Madness and Power Treads is not at all efficient. In the early game, addition is actually more efficient than multiplication. That means that it's good in the late game, because it increases your damage by a percentage, rather than addatively. What this means is that, since Daedalus is +Damage, It actually has no synergy with God's Strength whatsoever. It says that only the hero's Base damage is amplified. You may notice that little disclaimer on the bottom of the tooltip. That little intro to hero physical damage will help you understand how God's Strength amplified your damage. It's also reduced by armor, and can miss because of evasion, or just ignored by Backtrack. "+Damage": Damage given by items that say +Damage, like Broadsword. "Average Total Damage": ("Base Damage" + "+Damage") * ("Crit Multiplication" / ("Crit Chance") + 1) You obviously want more, so here's how you increase them

To new players, the concept of "Base Damage"/"Total Damage"/"+Damage" can be a little difficult.īasically, It comes down to where your damage comes from. People tend to not even know about the fact that you get another 200% of your base damage, and they build like a normal carry, and not to the best of his potential. Then again, not many people buy the right items on Sven. Actually, once I crunched the numbers, with 6 slots of all the correct items, your DPS is around 1.4x the max DPS of a 6-Slotted Phantom Assassin.

Yeah, If he didn't have that, my statement before would have been true. Add that to the 100% that he already has, and you have 300% Base Damage. You may see that it says something about +200% Base Damage. That was before I took a look at God's Strength and actually started to do a little math. I used to think that he couldn't DPS hard enough to make it into the club of the hardest carries in the came, along with the likes of Phantom Assassin and Faceless Void, simply because he isn't not Agility. I say this, of course, because the most common item build is wrong, and also because I too used to misunderstand Sven. Sven is a terribly misunderstood hero, I think.
