Talk:Cut Down/@comment-17903049-20190729091357

To redo some of the math below:

40% of their HP has 8% increased damage, so only 40%/108%=37% of their effective health is needed. As such, they have 97% effective health.

Cut Down would need to give 100%/97%=3% extra damage in order to out deal Coup. The minimum extra damage you can deal is 5%, as such, Cut Down > Coup when active. This means they need 10% more HP than you, which at max for low HP champs, is like 200-300. Assuming 0 HP items, Ashe, Jinx, and a few others can easily activate this against most targets. Others can activate it easily early game (like Cait who has 481). However, Doran's Blade gives 80 HP, and as such, should be skipped for a long sword + refil to be turned into a Vamp or a heal sup.

But yeah, for the most part, Coup < Cut.
