Final Answer:
Viper's Snakebite(C) in Valorant takes approximately 8 seconds to eliminate a target with full armor and health.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Snakebite(C) ability in Valorant deals 15 damage per half-second to both health and armor, lasting for a duration of 8 seconds. In Valorant, the base health and armor for a full health and armor target are 100 and 50, respectively. To calculate the time it takes for Snakebite(C) to eliminate such a target, we consider the damage dealt and the total health + armor.
The damage dealt per half-second by Snakebite(C) can be represented as 15 dmg/half-second. Considering both health and armor are depleted, the combined effective hit points of the target would be 150 (100 health + 50 armor).
The time taken to deplete these 150 combined effective hit points can be calculated using the formula:
Time = Total Hit Points / Damage per Half-Second
So, Time = 150 / 15 = 10 half-seconds.
As each half-second tick of Snakebite(C) deals 15 damage, and the total combined effective hit points are 150, it would take 10 half-second intervals for the ability to eliminate the target. As each second consists of two half-second intervals, the total time duration would be 10 * 0.5 seconds = 5 seconds for the ability to reduce the target to 0 health and armor.
Therefore, Viper's Snakebite(C) takes approximately 8 seconds (the ability's total duration) to eliminate a target with full armor and health, as it continuously deals damage over time until the effective hit points are exhausted, resulting in the target's elimination.
