That's the thing I found initially while questioning IGN, Prima, etc for values.
I narrowed it down to 10% in terms of proc rates through out all power discs, minus the exceptions, which were Zerg and Chernabogs Power. 15% proc rate seems excessively high for a disc that does both melee/range without any drawbacks.
Thinking as a developer, I feel it's probably for Item/Hexagon dics bonuses/tools in-game (as originally shown on some guides). However, from Braiko's research, it shows it procs both melee/range w/o a tool/item? Just verify that one more time for me Braiko. If it procs on everything (melee/range), then I would assume the rarity would explain it (TRU Exclusive Crystal 2-pack).
As for +22% to +25% damage to critical hits (the total additional damage when a critical occurs), the values could be 25% flat. So as you said, 1 out of 10 hits, at least one of those hits will score a critical. Same with 20%, where it drastically becomes more apparent with 1 out of 5 hits. Depending on the ender or in the middle of the string, the damage will vary since some single hit combos may start with 1 Bar of damage, while some character's enders will deal 3 Bars. So plugging in the equation:
(Base Damage) x (1.25) = (Total Damage)
1 Bar ~ (1) x (1.25) = 1.25 DMG
3 Bar - (3) x (1.25) = 3.75 DMG
So basically characters that are heavily reliant on DPS (damage per second) such as Spider-Man (melee) and Merida (range), would greatly benefit the most with 2 Stacked bonuses of the same disc. Melee characters with varying degree of base damage output during their combos would again, benefit from the double disc over range DPS style characters (Black Widow), unless they have charging range attacks (Nova/Iron Man/Rocket).
So to answer your question Braiko, if you find a disc that affects both Melee/Range, that would be superior to melee/range specific critical hit bonus discs. Especially when you're using a character like Captain America and Jasmine where they're basically hybrids and not linear as Merida/Hulk. Let us know which discs are for certain if you're testing again for the record.
