Ultimate build up %

Before on PS4 it didn't have the % I believe. One ult is 50% while other is 150% (to use it). I noticed that the numbers go up to 900% or so but when I use it when it's a high number the damage doesn't increase or anything and it'll use up all my Ult power.

Does it not matter how high the % is?. I just assumed the higher % the bigger damage. Guessing I'm wrong?.

    The percentage doesn't increase the damage of your ultimate no, think of it as a pool that fills up to 1000 but once you use an ultimate you're back at zero, the only acception to this is the sorcere ultimate 'overload' which instead makes your ultimate pool deplete over time, so when you're in overload mode if you have a large pool you can use the ultimate for a lot longer.

    Different ultimate abilities use different amounts of ultimate. It is a pool, similar to magicka, etc.

    You build it up and once enough for a specific ultimate, you can fire it off. As such, it always needs 100%, but if you have an expensive ultimate (e.g. Meteor, which requires 200 ultimate) on your primary bar and a cheap one (e.g. Death stroke for 50) on your secondary, it will show 25% on bar 1 and upon switching to bar 2 you will be able to fire that one immediately.

    Saving up more ultimate once you have enough for that specific ability doesn't change anything, and firing it will always consume all ultimate saved (even the excess).

    damage is the same, the only ulti you can "save up" is the sorc ulti overload. but if you have max 1000 ulti and use a differant uli that only used 100 then you're out of luck you use it all.

    Player-made poisons can cause an Ultimate to cost 60% more to cast in PvP.
