We use color, punctuation, and position to communicate the type of event in combat text. Color tells part of the story but isn’t fully accessible for everyone, so we use contextual positioning and punctuation to reinforce what color is communicating.

Here’s a breakdown:

Color
White: Outgoing damage
Yellow: Outgoing critical damage
Orange: Outgoing damage over time
Red: Incoming damage
Green: Healing
Tan: Crowd Control

Punctuation
* : Blocked damage
! : Critical damage and healing
( ) : Absorbed

Position
Left of player: Incoming damage
Right of player: Incoming healing
Bottom right of player: Incoming crowd control
Inside player: Incoming damage over time
Above target: Outgoing damage
Inside target: Outgoing damage over time
Right of target: Outgoing crowd control
Above friendly target: Outgoing healing

Here’s a visual breakdown of the color and punctuation:
