These values are what I could feel/see by playing him plus some wiki infos, SO IT'S NOT OFFICIAL NUMBERS OR ANYTHING.
If any dev could confirm these informations (if they are wrong or right), that will be great.
Untitled Image

BASE VALUES

Dash speed = 14m/s

First dash duration = 0.5 second (50%)

Second dash duration = 1 second (100%)

Untitled Image

NO ADDONS

Max distance of the first dash: (14*0.5) = 7m

Max distance of the second dash: (14*1) = 14m

Max distance: (14+7) = 21m

Untitled Image

WITH Unicorn Medallion ADDON (Increase First Dash)

First dash duration: 50% + 20% = 70% (0.7seconds)

Second dash duration: 100% - 20% = 80% (0.8seconds)


Max distance of the first dash: (14*0.7) = 9.8m

Max distance of the second dash: (14*0.8) = 11.2m

Max distance: (9.8+11.2) = 21m

Untitled Image

WITH R.P.D. Shoulder Walkie ADDON (INCREASE second DASH)

First dash duration: 50% - 20% = 30% (0.3seconds)

Second dash duration: 100% + 20% = 120% (1.2seconds)


Max distance of the first dash: (14*0.3) = 4.2m

Max distance of the second dash: (14*1.2) = 16.8m

Max distance: (4.2 + 16.8) = 21m

AND AGAIN...These values are what I could feel/see by playing him plus some wiki infos.

    This is untrue. Both add-ons use multipliers, they're not additive.

    Walkie talkie is a straight downgrade from basekit tbh you simply won't be able to use his power at loops. Unicorn is pretty good since it let's him play around tiles that are long better with his first dash since he can actually reach the end of them.

    To further elaborate; in the code, these add-ons use multipliers of x0.8 and x1.2, and those multipliers are being applied to their respective bound durations.

    Default: 1st bound - 0.5 seconds || 2nd bound - 1.0 second || total - 1.5 seconds of bound

    Unicorn Medallion: 1st bound - (0.5*1.2) = 0.6 seconds || 2nd bound - (1.0*0.8) = 0.8 seconds || total - 1.4 seconds of bound

    R.P.D. Shoulder Walkie: 1st bound - (0.5*0.8) = 0.4 seconds || 2nd bound - (1.0*1.2) = 1.2 seconds || total - 1.6 seconds of bound

    I also thought that when I was testing Unicorn Medallion, but when I started testing Walkie Talkie, it definitely didn't feel like the addon multiplied the values.

    Seriously, using the RPD Walkie your first dash does NOTHING (even on small tiles), and the second one feels like the distance of a Deathslinger shot.

    I just played a few more matches with these addons and yes, it is better to use Medallion instead of Walkie Talkie.

    But I think W.T is better on these maps: Red Forest, Midwich and Shelter Woods.
