Should Outside Assistance Still Count for Early Discharge if the Enemy Faction Gets the Final Hit?

I’m curious what people think about how Early Discharge handles outside hits when an enemy faction member joins the attack.


As I understand it, if someone from outside the war starts attacking you, but then a member of the enemy faction joins the attack and gets the final hit that hospitalizes you, it doesn’t count as an outside hit for Early Discharge.


Is that really fair?


The enemy faction is still benefiting from outside help. The outside player can do most of the damage, weaken the target significantly, and then the enemy faction member only has to join in and land the finishing hit.


From the defending player’s perspective, they were still taken down with outside assistance.


It seems like this creates a loophole where outside help can be used without the hit being treated as an outside hit, as long as the enemy faction makes sure one of their members gets the final blow.


Would it make more sense for Early Discharge to look at whether an outside player participated in the attack at all, rather than only who landed the hospitalization hit?


Interested to hear whether people think the current system is fair, or whether outside participation should count regardless of who gets the final hit.

All tactics are valid in war, just like having an outsider hospitalising their onliners 2 minutes before war start 😋 (totally not been helping our sub faction this week)

I mean, if you are gonna be buying merc assists because outside assists dont grant ED, then you could just as easily buy losses during war since those would grant ED, have noobs join fights against you, since noobs are 'outside hits' you get free ED every single attack for 300k apiece.

aye Mercing your own side is pretty standard, I just wanted to try drill up the med CD of a single person before their war started. For the most part it worked

imagine you paid for a stricken merc hosp but the enemy joined and hit you before the merc could hosp you, should this not count as an inside hit? your argument is full of holes.

For an outside hit to occur, you’d have needed to be out of hosp for 60. If you’re sat out of hospital that long out, unprotected knowing they’ll have mercs on you. That’s nothing short of a skill issue.
