[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6983082, member: 6787650"] A large number of weaker opponents makes it more complicated to compute the correct tactics, but if you just scale up the number of opponents like this ([URL]https://repl.it/EnFq/5[/URL]) without changing tactics, then against two Earth Elementals at once you get: [B]Rufus the Archer wins 75 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 37.95 HP remaining (30% of total) Brutus the Tank wins 99 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 68.35 HP remaining (55% of total) D'Artagnan the Swashbuckler wins 76 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 31.05 HP remaining (25% of total) [/B] And against three of them at once you get: [B]Rufus the Archer wins 3 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 0.77 HP remaining (0% of total) Brutus the Tank wins 12 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 2.85 HP remaining (2% of total) D'Artagnan the Swashbuckler wins 0 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 0.00 HP remaining (0% of total) Edit: [/B]If Brutus gives up on grappling and uses his shield for AC 21, then you get: [B]Rufus the Archer wins 75 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 38.44 HP remaining (31% of total)[/B] [B]Brutus the Tank wins 87 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 49.81 HP remaining (40% of total)[/B] [B]D'Artagnan the Swashbuckler wins 83 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 33.87 HP remaining (27% of total) [/B] [B]Rufus the Archer wins 4 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 0.66 HP remaining (0% of total)[/B] [B]Brutus the Tank wins 8 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 2.92 HP remaining (2% of total)[/B] [B]D'Artagnan the Swashbuckler wins 1 out of 100 matches against Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling and Gronk the Earthling, with 0.11 HP remaining (0% of total)[/B] So it looks like not changing tactics is the right way to go here--at least that way you get to take one of your opponents out of the fight immediately by knocking him prone and grappled, and you also increase the speed with which you kill him and move on to the next guy.
