TAKEDOWNS/DEATHS/DEATHBLOWS
Takedowns measure participation in kills. When an enemy dies, players are awarded a takedown if they damaged/debuffed that enemy, or healed/buffed an ally who did, on the turn the enemies died or the previous two turns.
Deaths keeps track the number of times you died.
Deathblows are awarded to anyone that deals damage to an enemy on the turn that the enemy dies.
Killing Blows
Atlas Reactor doesn’t have a traditional killing blow system because simultaneous turns makes it possible for more than one person to deal fatal damage to an enemy. Although the attacks within the Blast phase are mathematically simultaneous, the battlecam shows them sequentially. The attacks are ordered based on what is clearest to show on camera (always improving), so there is no definitive killing blow. Deathblows are important because securing kills is important, however, overkilling an enemy can sometimes be a big mistake in Atlas Reactor, so we don’t want to emphasize Deathblows as much as Takedowns.
