Lancer Knightz (Guild)/Sword Damage (Depth 24)

The guild Lancer Knightz has a long-running project to collect data on the speed and damage of various weapons. If you'd like to help, then please contact Donkeyhaute.

These particular data were collected by Bopp and Donkeyhaute. The tables list the damage dealt by every stroke of every 5-star sword, at heat level 10, against every kind of monster, at every level of damage bonus from -2 (Medium penalty) to +6 (Maximum!). These data are from depth 24; see also the depth-19 data.

Leviathan Blade:

Cold Iron Vanquisher:

Dread Venom Striker and Wild Hunting Blade:

Sudaruska (and probably Triglav):

Final Flourish:

Barbarous Thorn Blade is identical to Final Flourish in regular attacks and the charge stroke; the only difference is how the charge finishes:

Fearless Rigadoon and Furious Flamberge:

Combuster and Acheron (and probably Glacius and Voltedge):

Divine Avenger and Gran Faust:

Fang of Vog:

Warmaster Rocket Hammer:

This plot shows one way of thinking about damage bonuses. On the x-axis are damage numbers with damage bonus +0, +2, +4. On the y-axis are the corresponding damage numbers with damage bonus +2, +4, +6. For example, Leviathan Blade's 193 and 219 numbers plot at the point (193, 219). The plot is nearly linear. The slope of the best-fit line of the form y = m x has slope m = 1.10455, suggesting that each two levels of damage bonus increase damage by 10.455%. The square root of 1.10455 is 1.05097, suggesting that each level of damage bonus increases damage by 5.097%.
