    Yeah, as cascades go on, the damage of each subsequent match goes down by a percentage, not sure how much though.

    I recall reading somewhere that each cascade does 66% damage compared to the one before. Not totally sure the exact number but it definitely scales like that. All cascades gets 100% of the bonus from strike damage, so you'll see very different damage while having strong strike tiles versus not.

    It's been the case since release.

    I could have sworn it was 75%, and like half a year ago they changed it so that strikes were included in the diminishing returns

    EDIT: Hell it was before you even joined: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=761&hilit=strike

    It is .75^n damage where n is the number of matches before it. So the first match is 100% damage, the second 75% damage, the third 56.25%, and so on.
    Sometimes cascades do 100% damage but I'm not sure what causes this to be the case.
    I thought strike tile damage was still 100% but am not sure. I'll edit this if I have a chance to check in game.

    Strike tiles still do 100%. At one point they may have changed it but it's back to 100%. It's very easy to see when you've Falcon + Daken and your cascades looks like 1400, 1200, 1100, 1050, 1024 and so on. Note that you often will see drastic drops in the middle of a cascade because cascades have a high chance of destroying your own strike tiles, but it's not hard to eventually find a long cascade that has all your strike tiles intact.

    LOL not for me. 2 days ago I got the rage after my opponents crushed me with cascades. The first move with cascades did over 2500 damage to me. 2nd move they let off 3 boosts in a row, 3rd move 2 more boost and 2 T's, 4th move 2 of my maxed 3 star characters are dead and I just simply retreated. Total ****.
