Lootbound Damage Preview Before Attacking

Select the ability and hover the intended enemy

During your turn in the full game, select an ability and hover over the enemy to inspect its damage preview. Use that target-specific display instead of treating the ability's attack-power number as the Health it will remove.

Compare without spending the action

Wait for the controlled hero's turn and select the first candidate ability.
Hover the intended enemy and read the displayed outcome.
Select the alternative skill and inspect the same enemy again.
Choose the action only after comparing the preview and mana cost.

Why the numbers differ

Damage type and enemy resistance affect the result. Slash, Crush, and Acid do not interact with Armor and Health identically. A critical hit or dodge can also spoil a plan built around one exact expected hit; leave room for the next hostile action.
