Lancer Knightz (Guild)/Swords

These sword data are part of the Lancer Knightz data collection project. If you'd like to help us collect data, then please contact the project administrator, Donkeyhaute. Thanks to Squamph and Bopp for some of the data.

Combo Speed

This table shows the combos per minute of various swords, at various levels of attack speed increase (ASI). To collect such data, the tester goes to a safe area, such as Moorcroft Manor. He (or she) executes combos for a minute straight against thin air, turning as necessary to avoid obstacles. The test is repeated until it seems to settle on a single answer, for the combos per minute. However, the answer should certainly be regarded as approximate.

Combo DPS

The following table computes the damage per second (DPS) that results from carrying out combos as fast as possible. In detail, 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). We look up the depth-28 damage on the wiki. We total the damage for all of the strokes in the sword's combo. Then we compute

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

where minutes per second is obviously 1/60.

Charge Speed

This table shows the charges per minute of various swords, at various levels of charge time reduction (CTR). To collect such data, the tester goes to a safe area, such as Moorcroft Manor, with ASI Maximum! on all swords. (ASI has a small effect on charge attack speed. For example, Combuster CTR High does 16 charges per minute at ASI: None, but 17 charges per minute at ASI: Maximum!) The tester executes charge attacks for a minute straight against thin air, turning as necessary to avoid obstacles. The test is repeated until it seems to settle on a single answer, for the charges per minute. However, the answer should certainly be regarded as approximate.
