Template:UnitAttackDef

One row per unit. All four attack slots — default, counter, alt, alt2 — collapse onto a single wide row, with each slot's fields prefixed by the slot name. Pattern-passives like Sweeping Strike / Whirlwind / Dragonbreath aren't duplicated on every page; each slot references a shared AttackPassiveDef row by attack_passive_id.

This pivot from one-row-per-slot to one-row-per-unit landed because (a) "list this unit's attacks" is the dominant query, and a single fat row beats GROUP BY unit_id joins; (b) per-slot rows would duplicate identity columns four ways for no benefit.

Field notes — slot conventions

• <slot>_attack_type is the only slot field that's always present when the slot itself is populated. If the unit has no slot of a given category, all <slot>_* columns are NULL/absent.
• <slot>_passive references AttackPassiveDef by id. Most units leave this NULL (their attack pattern is plain attack_single_x100 with no special passive). Patterns that resolve to a known passive get the id; unknown patterns fall back to a pattern_passive_TODO_<pattern_sid> placeholder so the gap is visible.
• <slot>_pattern_sid is usually omitted — the canonical pattern is implied by the passive_id. The bot only emits this when the unit's actual pattern differs from the passive's canonical sid (rare, e.g. attack_reach_x2_x100_x100_x100_with_delay is rank-2 of the Dragonbreath family; the bot stores the variant for forensic visibility).

Field notes — defaults

The wiki template provides typed defaults; the bot omits any column whose value matches the default. Slot-specific defaults:

Field	default_*	counter_*	alt_* / alt2_*
stat_dmg_mult	1.0	1.0	0.5
trigger_counter	true	false	false
damage_target	enemy	enemy	enemy
affect_target	enemy	enemy	enemy
damage_type	normal	normal	normal

Flat defaults (same regardless of slot):

• is_armed_ability, dont_trigger_energy_regen, dont_use_energy, return_to_start_after_attack, never_disable → false
• cd → 0 for default/counter, -1 for alt/alt2 is not the default (Crossbowman's plain melee fallback has cd=0). The template defaults <alt>_cd to 0; Fighting Style alts emit cd=-1 explicitly.

pattern_sid, passive, buff_, temp_self_buff, multitarget_type, num_targets → NULL

Field notes — slot rarity

Slot	Population rate	Notes
default_*	~99% of units	Almost everyone has a default attack
counter_*	~99% of units	Almost everyone has a counter
alt_*	~50% of units	Ranged units' melee fallback, Fighting Style alts
alt2_*	~3% of units	Medusa-tier (melee fallback + Arrow Barrage)

Wide schema, sparse data: the typical row emits ~5 lines (the slot fields that deviate from defaults, plus identity columns).

Sentinels

• <alt>_cd = -1 → once per battle.
• <slot>_buff_duration = -1 → infinite; 999 → until end of battle.
