Prerequisite Information

cleverjohn's strength : 203 = 200 strength boost = 4.5x multiplier
cleverjohn's stance : Always Cautious = 1.0x multiplier
Inflatable Balthazar's stance : Always Jump and Attack = 1.3x multiplier

All attacks follow the format below :

Visible Icons

Frequency

Total trials : 100
4 icons (3 earth + 1 physical) : 29
5 icons (3 earth + 2 physical) : 27
6 icons (3 earth + 3 physical) : 44
Mean : 5.15
Median : 5
Mode : 6

Damage Based

4 Icons

Frequency

19 Damage : 8
21 Damage : 14
23 Damage : 7
Mean : 20.93
Median : 21
Mode : 21

When it does full icons , damage = 4 * 4.5 * 1.3 = 23.4 ~ 23

5 Icons

Frequency

24 Damage : 10
26 Damage : 11
28 Damage : 6
Mean : 25.70
Median : 26
Mode : 26

When it does full icons , damage = 5 * 4.5 * 1.3 = 29.25 ~ 29

It never does full icons at 5 icons?

6 Icons

Frequency

30 Damage : 7
31 Damage : 10
33 Damage : 10
35 Damage : 17
Mean : 32.84
Median : 33
Mode : 35

When it does full icons , damage = 5 * 4.5 * 1.3 = 35.4 ~ 35

I don't know how to investigate further , please help ! i.e. finding the range of damage and average damage

.....

I think you mean

6 * 4.5 * 1.3 * 1.0 = 35.1

there.

Range
Minimum = 3.248 icons of actual damage ( 19 / 4.5 / 1.3 /1.0 )
Maximum = 5.983 icons of actual damage ( 35 / 4.5 /1.3 /1.0 )

although those may not be precisely accurate due to rounding. (It sure looks like a max of 6 full icons is being rounded down from 35.1 to 35)

Average:

Quote:19 Damage : 8
21 Damage : 14
23 Damage : 7
24 Damage : 10
26 Damage : 11
28 Damage : 6
30 Damage : 7
31 Damage : 10
33 Damage : 10
35 Damage : 17

2746 total damage over 100 trials = 27.46 damage
27.46 / 4.5 / 1.3 / 1.0 = 4.694 average damage based icons

So unless later testing shows the defense to be fractional it averages over 10 total combined icons.

you should fight punchbag bob when you do tests so you don't have to keep restarting.

Thanks rabid for the breakdown

Yes this is my typo ...

99% correct

Overall , this is a neat weapon Although I was startled when I saw those fractional icons .

Maybe someone with a stronger pet can test the actual damage better .

Doesn't punchbag bobs stance change though?

Yes so the calculation is way harder .

Add this test onto iDB ?

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee update this test onto iDB database !

What should be put in 'Weapon Statistics and Probablities'


Do raters have the permission to put the result up ?

N days bump .

Sorry, I seemed to have skipped over this. Updated.
