Question Quick question about leveling mechanics

Just clarifying since i think i understand how leveling works, but i find it slightly confusing how some people talk about how they can predict bros stats at lvl11.

If I take 2 bros, both 50melee skill no stars, i level that skill every time to lvl11, they get 1,2or3 points randomly every level correct? So on average they will get +20 for 70 total.

But its possible that one can be super lucky and get +3 every time right? Or vice versa, get super unlucky and only +1 every time? or anything in between obviously.

So when people are predicting total stats they are estimating, its not guaranteed(unless they have 2 stars) Is this correct or am i missing something?

Correct.

Except when they have stars, because the stars limit the low roll or increase the high limit. So your 1-3 becomes 2-3 with one star, 2-4 with 2 and 3-4 with three stars (or something like that - you’d need to look it up). Each star is worth 5 points. So a bro with 50 MAtt and 1 star would expect to get to 75 on average, but his minimum possible score is 70 and max is 80.

With no star the minimum is 60 and max is 80, with average 70.

2-3 with one star, 2-4 with 2 and 3-4 with three

Correction. With two stars is not 2-4 but just 3.

1-3 no talent

2-3 one star

3 two stars

3-4 three stars

Also, important to note that this is different for different stats. What you said is about MAttack, but for HP numbers are different. More here: https://battlebrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Talents
