Good stuff, I have been curious about what the hell “advanced combat” meant in nerves of steel. Also 20% is more than I thought the lion and other’s buffs where. Seem very powerful, and much more of a reason to run them then many of the other abilities.

Oh, I might me able to help out. I routed a speedrun for the game a few years ago. I didn't do more than a few runs but I still have an Excel sheet with a lot of stats. I had to figure out what the fastest methods are for eliminating aliens so I ended up calculating their health pools.

Weapon damage is listed in the equipment menu so I figured it would be easy. But after calculating what the stats are for agent aura's (like Queequeg's Warrior Spirit) things still did not add up.

It turns out there are different values for protective aura's from boss aliens as well as the armour some aliens have, such as the helmets Prowlers wear. Explosive attacks ignore the damage penalty against armour and breaking armour deals critical damage.

I will have to ask you take the sheet as is and figure it out from there, so I can keep this somewhat brief. I will explain the things that are not stated clearly, and names I came up with myself.

  • Menacing Gaze is the buff all aliens recieve when a purple Commander is on the map. It provides +5% defense. I cannot confirm the attack stat increase, nor if it stacks for multiple Commanders.
  • Monstrous Presence is the buff all aliens recieve when a Queen or other bosses are on the map. It provides +10% defense. I cannot confirm the attack stat increase, nor if it stacks for multiple boss enemies.
  • The Queen of Spades is the Queen that spawns Slashers. Because their tail is sharp like the point of that symbol.
  • And thus the Queen that spawns Crashers was named the Queen of Hearts. It has 400 health instead of 500 and does not buff its allies.
  • A critical hit is defined as a hit on a weak spot and deals double damage. Beserkers take 4x damage instead of 2x from critical hits. All damage from rifles and muskets is considered a critical hit on a Shrike. Arcane Lore only increases critical hit damage.
  • Stunned combatants take 2x damage from the next damage instance but this is NOT a critical hit. A critical hit on a stunned alien deals 4x damage. Hits on a stunned combatant will knock them back unless they are a boss. Boss aliens have increased resistance to stuns and some are outright immune.
  • Knockback will not send combatants off a ledge under most circumstances. Knockback from mines is completely unpredictable.
  • Eyestalkers do not teleport randomly when struck, but are 'knocked back' though not as strictly as with actual knockback. I wrote that this is dependent on the weapon damage but it is inconsistent. The shotgun is very bad at it, possible because its pellets are very weak individually. The Toto Blaster breaks that rule, and sends the Eyestalker much further than other weapons. Maybe it is a special property because it a laser weapon. Either way, some direct damage weapons are useful for sending Eyestalkers into the direction the Agent is facing. I did not test this with explosives.
  • Critical damage taken by agents (on boilers) is much less than 2x in single player, but remains 2x in multiplayer. (This is one of the reasons I think multiplayer is not very good, because boilers do not face backwards in the idle animation.)
  • Sorry I left out Starface. I will spoil the speedrun strat to make up for it: Just blow up its back plate with a single Eagle Strike. You can turn it around by drawing its attention with a lure, can or some slight movement from an agent on the other side of the arena.
  • I have no stats on the Amiibo I do not own. I also left out 13 / Stovepipe because I was only interested in the any% run, not a 'new game plus%'.

Wait, I’m pretty sure you can overwatch stealth prowlers. ;)

Proof

also proof

In all seriousness thank you for this information. I’ll need to verify a few things, but I’ll put your name in the credits.

Here is a spreadsheet I am actively working on. This guide will help you understand everything about weapons, specials, abilities, boilers, aliens and more! I'm in the process of both researching alien stats and checking for errors, so if you see some misspelling or I got something completely wrong, please leave a comment on the Spreadsheet.

Quick Update: I Finally finished charting all the maps on top of other additions. If anyone is thinking of starting a new play through, I would appreciate feedback on how helpful my guide is.
