This page presents data collected by Lancer Knightz about various equipment. In short, we collect data about how fast various weapons are. We combine these data, with damage data from the wiki, to estimate the damage per second (DPS) of these weapons.

Swords

The following table computes the resulting DPS. In detail:

1. We take the speed increase Medium data from the table above. For swords with no data (e.g., Combuster), we use the available data from similar swords (Glacius).
2. We look up the Depth 28 damage on the wiki. We total all of the damage for all of the strokes in the sword's combo.
3. We compute (where minutes per second is obviously 1/60):

damage per second = damage per combo * combos per minute * minutes per second.

Handguns

Sadly, the wiki doesn't have many damage data for handguns.

Bombs

Of course, bombs are highly idiosyncratic, and they often hit multiple monsters for high total damage. So this comparison is arguably a bit unfair. The bombs per minute are computed using the charge times in the Bombing Guide, and they reflect CTR medium. The damage figures consider only the initial detonation — not the subsequent damage from fire, shock, vortex collapse, etc. Radiant Sun Shards is included, even though it's only 4-star, because people regard it as a top bomb; its damage statistics here are per-shard.

Other Data

Other data that might be worth collecting or finding on the forums:

• How much effect does each level of Attack Speed Increase affect combos per minute? How much does each level of Damage Bonus increase damage? (Norpo's data suggest that it's about 5% or 6%.) How much does each level of Charge Time Reduction reduce charge time?
• Lots of information about armor.
