Every contact of 80 EU FNCS Solo qualifier matches, read from the server replays: what your HP, the item in your opponent's hands and a fight next door do to your odds of getting the kill yourself.

eliminations

A “contact” includes single long-range hits, so these are fights started, not fights taken. A fight counts as won when the attacker eliminates the target themselves within 30 s of the first hit.

37.8 %

Start the fight 50 HP/shield ahead

When the attacker is at least 50 health and shield ahead before the first hit, they get the kill in 37.8 % of contacts (1,621 of 4,294), 2.2x as often as with less than 50 between them (17.4 %). 50 or more behind: 15.3 %. Only contacts where both players have an HP value in the 3 s before the first hit count here.

32.7 %

Hit them with a heal out

When the target holds a heal at the first hit, the attacker gets the kill in 32.7 % (300 of 918), otherwise in 19.7 %. A pickaxe out barely changes anything: 21.5 % against 19.8 %.

25.0 %

Third-partying: better odds

Attack someone who traded damage with another player in the 10 s before, and you get the kill in 25.0 % of contacts (1,788 of 7,142). With no fight going on at the target: 18.6 %.

23.1 %

The minute after the kill

Of 7,701 eliminations, the player who got the kill was dead themselves within 60 s in 23.1 % (1,778), within 30 s in 13.9 %. Who eliminated them is not part of this number.

These compare situations, they do not show causes: a player who is ahead has often already done something right.
