Capture Rate? Effigy?

[SUP3RM4N]

Does anyone know what the Statue of Power/Effigy level does?

increases ur capture pal ability OR it can upgrade your pals in your party.

If you look at the pal spheres in your inventory, they have a "Capture Power". The effigies apply a fixed bonus to them (+1 to +10).

Each level seems to add a fixed 1% capture chance, shows up when the sphere actually hits, not before the throw.

Incorrect.

Hold Q instead of tapping it, aim at target you can see capture rate. Release to throw or right click to cancel.

I read on other pages that the rate displayed does not show all the correct modifiers. They mentioned if you hold Q and view the rate, once you throw it is usually higher.

I'm pretty sure that's because there are multiple "phases" to capture, it's not just one check, the first check is what you're looking at before you throw. If you notice when you hit a Pal with the ball the percentage will start at one and then go up, I think during that process there are at least 2-3 additional checks unless it reaches 100% immediately. Very often I've attempted a capture and a low percentage is quickly displayed and the ball immediately bounces off, I believe that is when it failed the first check so the Pal never enters the sphere at all.

I ont know but alot of sphere balls are tending to now just pop on contact with the pal for capture ALOT recently. Am wondering if anyone else has noticed this (even at 97%).

Hmm, I see what your saying that's possible. Wish we had word from devs of how exactly the capture rate and levels/ect work.

I say this because it seems Giga balls and up and only thing worth using, Mega just don't seem to give much help and almost always fail.

They are pretty much worthless. The only thing I noticed that got easier was the noob critters. You can capture them when they have half health once you get capture power to lvl 8+. No noticeable effect on any Pals that are stronger though.

I dont understand the capture rate at all, it seems like the number the game shows you, when you hold it, when it hits, while its capturing is just a made up bullsh** number

Ive had hyper spheres say there is a 12% capture chance after hitting, but take 30+ spheres to successfully move to the next phase. thats not 12%. The next phase is 45%, this fails about 80% of the time.

I just wonder why even bother having a percentage displayed if that percentage is not the final capture rate. if thats true the number is basically useless

Probably get better answers on the discord as well, I know from playing Craftopia that was a better resource generally the answers you find here are shared by people who are on both.

I know the Effigy does have an impact, because after hours of farming to get to level 10, I drank a Memory Wiping Medicine not knowing it reset effigies as well (without refunding them). I thought it was because I was attempting to catch such high level Pals before I ever realized I was reset, but in fact it was at least partially that lol.
