Mastering Health Calculations in BillionsQuest Battles: A Comprehensive Guide

4 min readSep 21, 2023

In BillionsQuest, the concept of health is pivotal to determining the performance of your portfolio during battles. Understanding how health is calculated is crucial for players to devise effective strategies. This article aims to elucidate the health calculation process and provide practical examples to empower players in their gameplay.

Formula

The health of Portfolio = f {Script Growth in time period}

Health = % Change in Price of Script * 10000 * Scalars

Example (Without Scalar)

Health Battle

Dated: May 25th, 2023

Let us consider two players, Swanand and Arpit, with the following portfolios.

They participated in the Health Battle on May 25th, 2023. Based on the price movements, let’s say their portfolio performances are as follows:

Since this is a health battle, a positive movement in price will contribute positively to the score, and a negative price movement will contribute negatively.

The same gets reversed for a Blood Battle, where the portfolio with the most decline is declared the winner.

As per the formula,

Health = % Change in Price of Script * 10000

We get the following scores for the players:

Swanand: {0.3 + 0.8 + (-0.2)}% x 10000 = 90

Arpit: {(-1.3)+(-0.1)+1.3)}% x 10000 = -10

Hence, the winner of this Health Battle is Swanand.

2. Blood Battle

Date: May 25th, 2023

The same players participate in a Blood Battle with a different portfolio

Based on the price movement for the given date, let’s say their portfolio performance is as follows:

The score computation will use the formula used in Health Battle above. The change here will be that a decline in stock price will contribute positively to the score, and an increase in stock price will contribute negatively.

We get the following final scores:

Swanand: {0.7+0.2+(-0.3)}% x 10000 = 60

Arpit: {(-0.6)+0.6+(-0.2)}% x 10000 = -20

Hence, the winner of the Blood Battle is Swanand.

Scalar Boost

Scalars are powerful in-game boosters that enhance your portfolio’s performance. They can be multipliers (positive effect) or negators (negative effect). Scalars are an essential part of the health calculation.

Examples of Scalars

Multipliers like 2x, 5x, 10x

Negators like -2x, -5x, -10x

Example (With Scalar)

Assuming the same battle scenario, let’s introduce scalars

Let’s add scalar boosts to the equation. Suppose Swanand used a 2x scalar and Arpit used a 10x scalar during the battle. Here’s how their health calculation would look like with scalars:

Swanand: {0.3 + 0.8 + (-0.2)}% * 10000 * 2 (2x scalar) = 180
Arpit: {(-1.3)+(-0.1)+1.3)}% * 10000 *3 (3x scalar) = -30

With scalar boosts, Swanand emerges as the Health Battle winner.

Understanding the role of scalars in health calculation is vital. They can significantly impact your portfolio’s health and ultimately determine your success in battles. Effective use of scalars tailored to your strategy is key to achieving victory.

Conclusion

Mastering the health calculation is key to achieving success in BillionsQuest battles. Players can make informed decisions by comprehending how to utilize scalars and strategically analyzing stock growth, enhancing their chances of winning. Remember, the battle is not just about luck; it’s about mastering the game's mechanics.

By leveraging the health calculation, players can build winning portfolios and navigate the world of BillionsQuest with confidence.
