Levelling & Damage buff questions

[Raffa]

Does damage dealt by an ability (e.g. flesh hook) count towards XO? Does it get XP if it hadn't otherwise attacked the killed unit? In other words:

Scouts with a grenade encounter a brand new slugga squad. Nothing has hurt the Sluggas in the game at all/they healed up completely at base. If the scouts throw a grenade and it kills a slugga(s), do the scouts get XP from that kill?

Do damage buffs like FTE and Combat Stims increase grenade damage/flesh hook damage/other ability damage?

[Asmon]

Yes and yes, except for a handful of abilities which were coded the wrong way.

When does the dmg buff have to be applied? Say for a grenade, do you have to use FTE before activating the ability, before the actual toss, or before the nade detonates?

Ah, the mysteries of DoW2...

There is no mystery. You can't seriously expect to buff something after it is triggered. You have to do it before the ability is activated.
