Offense adds 10%, 20% or 30% damage to the base damage of any [[Melee]] attacks from a hero’s troops. It does not multiply total damage by 110%, 120% or 130%.
'''Offense''' is a [[secondary skill]] that increases all [[hand-to-hand]] [[damage]] caused by allied creatures in hero's army. Offense increases the base damage by 10%, 20% or 30% depending on the level of the skill. This does not mean that the total damage (final damage) is necessarily increased by the same percentage, as it might also be increased by other factors, such as high [[Primary skill#Attack skill|Attack skill]].


To illustrate, take a creature stack that without offense does 100 base damage and 50 bonus damage from its high attack skill for a total of 150 damage. With expert offense, the total damage of 150 is not multiplied by 130% and is therefore not 195. Instead, the base damage of 100 is multiplied by 30%, which is added to the 100 base damage and 50 bonus damage for a total of 100 + 50 + 30 = 180 damage. In this case, then, expert offense adds only 20% damage, instead of 30%. In reality, the offense bonus is therefore 30% only when no other bonuses, such as from [[luck]], [[death blow]], or high [[attack skill]] are added.
