Talk:Direct damage

Definitions
I was pretty sure "direct" damage could also be minion-targeted, the point is that it goes DIRECT to the target instead of having to wait on the board in minion form before it has an effect. Am I wrong? &#32;- jerodast (talk) 09:52, 6 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I did some asking around and again this seems to be a bit uncertain among lay players. I did query Robert "don't call me Whirthun" Wing, who said he thought it could be minions or heroes. A small Twitter poll gave about a 50/50 result, with half saying it specifically meant hero damage.


 * My overall outlook is you're probably right, but I've put in a note about how some specifically mean hero damage, and also mentioned area of effect/random effects: ie Flamestrike with a single enemy minion is equivalent to Stormcrack on that minion, but the latter is considered direct damage while the former isn't. Input is welcome in terms of these quandaries! -- Taohinton (talk) 12:37, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
