Kill xp?

[Stix]

How does kill and kill assist cup work? What do you need to do to get a kill or kill assist?

[Don Alfonso]

Kills are awarded to the one who does the most damage to the enemy vessel.

• This earns 80% of the vessel's BR in XP

Assists are awarded to those who do damage to the enemy vessel.

• This earns 50% of the vessel's BR in XP

Not fully accurate. On many occasions my friends and I do damage to a ship but only some of us get the assist. Even the post battle report confirms damage was done (and sometimes quite a bit, like 500+ at only Snow levels) and still no assist XP. I'm thinking you need to do a certain amount of damage or only a max number of people can be credited for an assist.

I think that maybe you must do enough damage to sink the enemy's vessel.

That is a lot of damage for some ships and it is also relative. Technically it is possible with a lucky hit to cause a leak in a ship that still has a lot of armour. If that leak goes unchecked it sinks. So technically you could sink a ship while doing very little damage to it.

 

No I think only a certain number of people can get the assist based on damage dealt (so if 6 people shoot a ship the top damage gets kill, 2nd and 3rd get assist and 4, 5 and 6 get xp for damage dealt only).

 

It would be nice to get a confirmation instead of theories, though.

get enemy ships down to 1 tick each side, you will have kill xp if you want to cap it.

Assist XP is only rewarded when the ship you damage gets counted as killed. To do this you need to bring it down to about 20% if you want to capture it, or sink it. If you don't lower its health the assist wont count if you capture it. 

 

Assist XP damage threshold seems to be about 1/10th of a broadside armor facing. Frigs seem to be ~250-350 damage. 3rd rates ~800 damage. 

 

There is no max number of players that can get an assist on a single ship as far as I can tell. 

 

Kill XP seems to be rewarded to the player that causes the most damage.
