how is Honor calculated?

[brunolm]

I was in a group where a level 60 got more honor than 3 level 100 (including me).

What's the actual formula used to calculate honor? Does healing give a lot more points than DPS? What about buffs etc?

[brunolm]

I was going to say that I don't think the guy was cheating, but his profile seems to be private, so Idk.

In any case, I'm curious to understand how honor is calculated.

AFAIK It has level scaling if you were doing the Quick Quests.

Nah me and my friend has insane gear and would go on a newly recruited level 60 with maxed out everything (terminus weapon) and would stomp mvp every quest on proud.

IDK how it's calculated, but not taking damage, not using items, and healing teammates all counts as padding for the score it seems. After that it's just how much damage you dealt.

Giga chad gears = MVP 90% of the time unless you encounter another giga chad.

Was it Charlotta? because she spams buffs and it pads her score with useless points.

[brunolm]

Yep, it was Charlotta. So I guess spam buffs/heal counts way more than DPS

Exapnding on that, using the cannons to blow stuff up also seem to generate a lot of points. In the Excavallion fight in particular its basically guaranteed to give you MVP if you destroy the red body parts.

It's seems very random to be honest, it's not just doing damage, but I'm not sure what counts to it (perfect dodges, healing items, parts destroyed...). I've had once a Narmaya that almost got us a Quest Failed all by herself because she kept dying (and did barely any damage) and got almost 14 million points. Some other time I played Proto Bahamut terribly and missed most of my attacks (playing as Io and missed plenty of Stargazes and died twice) with a team of very well equipped people (all three of them had terminus weapon capped and played extremely well, Bahamut was downed very quickly thanks to them) and somehow got MVP with 12 million points.

I feel like it's just random calculation on multiple factors that the player does during the match but it's seems very inconsistent.

[brunolm]

nah not random, just spam blue potions, buffs and heals

[KyuKyu]

team buff and debuff and damage and also blue potion healing team count for honor result

also healing spell, even everyone is full hp. it also count XD

Its depends. If you play same quest in lobby you don't take any downgrades and so you can make real dps. With this you easly get more points, then any 60 lvl player. Mostly because he don't really start doing anything simple because level 100 characters will kill lvl 60 boss in like 1-2 hits anyway.
For quick match, however, you take a huge downgrade for everything you have, this is include you level, you sigils and your mastery. If you pay attention you know, how mastery tiers opens when you complete story and later at unlocking higher difficulty levels. Its same work for quick match downgrade. Any mastery from higher tier simple disabled when you play at lower tier quests. So overall its make a very high hit for pure dps perfomance, however its not affected support characters in same way. So in mid tier you never get highest score if there any support character presented. You can't really do anything with this.
But honestly its fair, since support characters can't provide same output as pure dps can, so...

It is because the sync-down system nerfs over-geared players into the ground when doing a quickplay at a much lower PWR level.

[Bigboss PC Faster]

Play Gran/Djeeta and spam a ton of useless buffs to your teammates in proud difficulty to get MVP

[Jubanen]

I have reason to believe that its kinda random... or if not then the score is based on some very weird and obscure things... I have had MVP in the fights where I seemingly did the least just goofing around and then other fights where I dont get hit at all and stick to the boss like a tick doing dmg and no score... and by no score I mean like 1/10 of the mvp. Its best if you just ignore honor score.
