sad part is that this is basic 4th grade math , but the devs did not manage to do even this properly

[@ryechew]

@MrRafagigapr oof. Well there may be different reasons. True though

[@gurhal5855]

I want write exactly the opposite. Big mistake in critical hit formula Not critical hit on your damage... On your hit! Every bullet must be considerate separately.

[@FunkyyCat_]

@@gurhal5855 No, his math is perfectly fine in order to calculate average dps. We're looking for damage per second, not burst damage or damage per bullet, so there is no need to calculate every bullet separately.

[@chadcooper1944]

I love the math bro. I was thinking something was off I noticed the damage was weirdly off but you breaking it down definitely makes my life easier. These are the kinds off information I was looking for.

[@DiamondMiner-zt3sg]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I was using different types of guns and something just felt off and this video explained why that was and more. Thank you for putting in all the hard effort for us. I am for sure subscribing and seeing what you have planned for the future!

[@Counterfactual52]

You are a GODSEND!! Thank you for making this and committing to testing all of the weapons

[@AdskyDimon]

On the theme of building tho - Important thing to note that the mods that have %crit, etc, they actually do not ADD that amount of % to your actual value, they multiply your BASE value. So if you have a gun that has 5% crit chance, stacking mods that total to 100% increasd crit rate will actually only buff the gun to have 10% total critrate. This is an old warframe balancing state where it is in most cases, inefficient to stack crit on low base crit weapons, instead adding other sources. For instance if it has high status chance - adding more elemental damage might be more efficient. Im not sure if we have currently a similar system with elemental damage, but we do have a separate multiplier, which is weak point damage, which is applied constantly as long as you hit those weakpoints, and its something to consider if a gun has a very low crit chance. Of course, do take buffs into consideration. Blair has some crit shenanigans going for him, and Gley buffs guplay alot (infinite rocket ammo for that Katyusha gameplay etc)

[@benjamingardner5277]

In addition to the mods that add elemental damage, there's also mods that multiply your elemental damage from the weapon. So you can definitely build around that.

[@KalijahAnderson]

I wish the game would tell you this.

[@TheRealChese]

@@KalijahAnderson Press tab when in menu where you add weapon modules, it’ll switch to the actual weapon stats with the actual effects applied.

[@afonyuu8599]

Yeah... That's was it... The only problem i had is PTSD from genshin crit rate. Few weapons supported on crit build although not all weapon, but if i did build the crit rate way above 60% and it didn't proc the crit properly then I'm afraid i have to meet doctor to alleviate some of my ptsd... Dayum i should sue them for faking the percentage rate and nexon did have the history of scamming a proc rate... It is rigged and sucked lmao

Solid videos dude. Just subbed after watching 2 of your other videos. Clear communication, efficient coverage of the information, and you even show your work. Your videos have an "old KZbin" feel to them. Probably because it's not full of flashy animations, memes, and transitions, and because you're literally just recording exactly what you're talking about and nothing else. Really appreciate the simplistic quality of your videos so far.

i'm glad there's someone that's finally being informative about TFD, and doing some deep diving on stats. I found out about a day or two ago that jayber's non-attribute stack/skill stack wasn't working(as good as it should)and swapped to my second synergy, and noticed the modifier increases. It seems all the 2nd synergies(as they typically only affect 2 of the skills) have more multipliers behind them and always give larger increases than main element increases.

[@mcvader1452]

yea i just took a quick look at your channel this is the type of content i will Sub for

[@vKross]

Skipping the Critical Chance part because it can vary a lot-you end up with 183.41 damage per second. I think that's a more solid answer than factoring in the randomness of Critical Chance and Damage Multiplier. It's like how we calculate DPS based on regular hits, not headshots. By the way, when I rechecked the weapon stats, I got 185.34 DPS instead of 191.38. This takes into account how often you'd get a critical hit with a 5% chance, which bumps the damage per shot to about 84.84.

[@Ch0pperized]

I dont think thats how it works. Crit chance is just a random chance to crit.no matter where you hit. What you meant by headshots are probably the weakpoints. You can get 100% weakpoint hits by skill. But not 100% crit hits.

[@vKross]

@@Ch0pperized that's why I said in the first, it's without the hypothetical crit chance, and the second is with, the headshot was just an example for how it is calculated in other games, as usually you do not take weak point hits into account, since you can miss a shot. I hope that is clear.

[@Ch0pperized]

@@vKross but you take crit chance into account for this game

[@TheRealChese]

Crit should always be included in DPS since you know the rate % and crit dmg, you know the expected DPS with crit. Say with 100 dps before crit, add 50% crit + 2x crit damage = 150 dps expected. This doesn’t vary a lot over enough shots.

[@vKross]

@@TheRealChese I like true numbers more, but in the end my main point stands and is something completely different, this is just opinion based, after all the Number still adds up to something different than shown in the Video, with or without Crit Included.

[@HuskySansVergogne]

Your work is much appreciated, thank you

[@TojiHere]

You my friend just got a new sub. This is the vid everyone in the community needed for sure!

[@xthuse4815]

I agree om almost everything u'v sed and i think it's some great work! The thing with the tamer is that its base crit hit chance is only 10% while its crit damage multiplier is 1.6x. the crit hit rate and the crit damage rate of the mods are very similar so the crit damage scales higher quicker than the value you get from the crit hit rate on the tamer. I have also started leaning more into damage per magazine instead of raw dps with the tamer (excluding the use of firerate penalizing mods except mental focus where you can gain 150% increased ATK towards the end of the mag) weakspot damage can be very hit and miss, if your not efficent with hitting the weakspot it suffers, but if you can hit consistently it starts outpacing crit dmg.

[@alfonsodaleja3702]

Nice comprehensive breakdown. I also did my own (albeit less comprehensive) testing yesterday mainly focusing on Firearm ATK (in turn influencing DPS). These are some of the things I found: - Headshot multipliers and critical hit multipliers have so much variance. a handcannon's headshot multiplier can range from 2.5 - 3.0%; actual damage numbers are higher than what is usually indicated on the weapon (consistent with your findings) - For some reason, units from Legion of Immortality and Legion of Darkness units take reduced damage. When I did the numbers, Firearm ATK is reduced by atleast 70% all the way down to 40%. So a weapon with 5000 Firearm ATK would only deal 2000-3500 per bullet. I tested it on different weapons and it seems that damage reduction and damage multiplication in this game don't have a consistent value. However, I do think the amount of reduction varies per type of unit (higher damage reduction on minibosses compared to normal enemy units) but I've yet to do more testing. In summary, damage numbers are relatively close to the stated values but are usually all over the place and aren't influenced by other stats.
