Adela the Cleric is a Castle hero. Adela starts with a spell book and the spell Bless.

Her specialization increases the damage of a creature under bless for 3% per each Adela's level in ratio with creature level by following formulas:

If Attack of blessed creature is more than Defense of attacked creature for Advanced/Expert School of Water Magic:

final_damage = (max_creature_damage + 1) * (1 + 0.05 * (Attack - Defense) + 0.03 * Adela_lvl / creature_lvl)

If Attack of blessed creature is less than Defense of attacked creature for Advanced/Expert School of Water Magic:

final_damage = (max_creature_damage + 1) * (1 - 0.025 * (Defense - Attack)) * (1 + 0.03 * Adela_lvl / creature_lvl)

Subtract the unit from the first parentheses for each of the formulas for None / Basic School of Water Magic.

If you want to take into account more circumstances like a Luck or an Offense and etc. which affect final damage read that article: Damage.
