'''Luck''' is a combat variable, that may cause a creature stack to do additional damage. As can be seen from the table on the right, there are three levels in luck modifier: positive (+1), good (+2) and excellent (+3). Luck can also be neutral (zero), which means that a creature stack cannot get a "lucky strike". Creature stack's luck modifier depends mainly on hero's luck status, but can also be affected by spells ([[Fortune]], [[Misfortune]]) or creature abilities (e.g. [[Devil]]s). Additionally, {{sod}} expansion introduced [[magical terrain]]s that can affect luck modifiers. Hero's luck depends on equipped [[artifact]]s, possible [[Luck (skill)|luck secondary skill]] and/or visited [[Adventure Map]] locations. | '''Luck''' is a combat variable, that may cause a creature stack to do additional damage.

There are several references in the game, that receiving luck during combat causes double damage. However, this is not entirely accurate because the damage is not simply multiplied by two when lucky strike appears. Receiving luck when attacking means that the creature stack does additional base damage on top of the regular damage.

However, this is not entirely accurate because the damage is not simply multiplied by two when lucky strike appears. Receiving luck when attacking means that the creature stack does additional base damage on top of the regular damage. This additional "lucky damage" is not affected by the differences in the attack and defense skills, but is affected by other variants such as [[obstacle penalty]]. Thus, the final damage is not actually doubled. | ||
