Let's consider what typical monster HP ranges are between species. Arthropod, Giant, Dragon, and Undead have around 100 base Endurance. At PL 2250 this increases to 100 + 10 * 25 = 350 Endurance. At level 500 this scales to 0.01 * base_stat * monster_level + (monster_level ^ 1.076675) * 0.3325 = 5 * 350 + 267 = 2017 Endurance.

At level 500 such monsters have (100 + monster_level * 10 + End * 5) * 8 = (5100 + 10085) * 8 ~ 15185 HP. I dropped the multiplier of 8 because I don't care about the difficulty/level part of the formula here, just the relative difference between monster species.

Avion, Celestial, Daimon, Elemental, Sprite, and Human have 50 base Endurance or less. At PL 2250 this increases to 50 + 6*25 = 200 Endurance. At level 500 this scales to 5 * 200 + 267 = 1267 Endurance and 5100 + 6335 = 11435 HP. While monster HP does vary significantly at high levels, it is nowhere near as much as low levels.

Next let's consider approximate PMit between species. It's based on End + Agi/2 so in the top class we have Arthropod, Giant, and Undead. Arthropod has 70 base Agility, or 70 + 7 * 25 = 245 Agility at PL 2250 then 5 * 245 + 267 = 1492 Agility at level 500. PMit = 1 - (900 / (900 + End + Agi/2) = 1 - 900 / (900 + 2017 + 1492/2) = 75.4%

Undead has only 40 base Agility but catches up at PL 2250 with 40 + 6 * 25 = 190 Agility which becomes 1217 Agility at level 500 and finally PMit = 74.5%

Giant has only 30 base Agility but catches up at PL 2250 with 30 + 6 * 25 = 180 Agility which scales to 1167 Agility. Giant has 120 base Endurance though that's only 120 + 10 * 25 = 370 Endurance at PL 2250 and finally 2117 Endurance and PMit = 75.0%

In the middle class we have Avion, Celestial, Mechanoid, Reptilian, Sprite, and Human with base End + Agi/2 ≈ 100. Recycling previous calculations Celestial has 1267 Endurance and 2017 Agility which translates to PMit = 71.7%. Avion has 1217 Endurance and 2217 Agility which translates to PMit = 72.1%. Mechanoid has 1492 Endurance and 1217 Agility which translates to PMit = 70%. Sprite has 1117 Endurance and 2117 Agility which translates to PMit = 70.7%. Human has 1267 Endurance and 1667 Agility which translates to PMit = 70%. Reptilian has 1667 Endurance and 1317 Agility which translates to PMit = 72.1%.

Beast has 1492 Endurance and 1842 Agility which translates to PMit = 72.8%. Dragon has 1842 Endurance and 1167 Agility which translates to PMit = 72.9%.

The weakest ones, Daimon has 1217 Endurance and 1667 Agility which translates to PMit = 69.5%. Elemental has 1217 Endurance and 1317 Agility which translates to PMit = 67.6%.

The general variation is 75% ~ 70% PMit which means physical attacks naturally do 25% ~ 30% damage before inflicting ailments. The HP variation among species is a bit more significant. I'll use these calculations for future reference on other subjects.

sssss2 is going to complete his Peerless of Slaughter 1H set this week. Would he perhaps be interested in updating his Research for 1H tests in the current version of the game in celebration?

The day of week now has a moderate effect on elemental damage, where attacks and magic of a given element will do increased damage on specific days. (This is implemented as a reduction in effective elemental resistance for both players and monsters on the day in question.)

Monster health scaling was changed. Above level 100 it will shift more from difficulty to monster level, scaling up from 1x at level 100 to 4x at level 500. Max difficulty modifier was reduced from 8x to a 2x. Base health from endurance was reduced from 6 per point to 5 per point.

HP between different monster species varies less than when Research for 1H was performed. This will alter the elemental comparison table slightly. Monster PL are higher these days; this may only shift the comparisons a little because elemental mitigations increase in a varied way such as to keep the relationships partially constant. I expect Fire/Cold/Elec/Wind to worsen compared to Holy/Dark but improve when combined with Spike Shields.

New tests must be mindful of the day of the week. People are commonly testing on void day but I think elemental comparison tests should be done on nothing/mismatched days.

But vs Fat is unaffected by the game version, aside from sssss2 changing his stats. Others pointed out before that Overpower will be improved if more monsters have chaos upgrades.

consider that's an extreme 1H set. one may want to know the performances of an average 1H set, which is what commoners may put their hands on. and at that point, a neutral shield.

and also, saying, a shade set, while we're at it...

is what commoners may put their hands on

Damn, sssss2 is some kind of royalty? Never spoke to him, but will make sure to bow my head if I ever do.


More seriously though, I don't think knowing the min or max is a bad thing, if it was in the ask the experts thread I'd agree that what your typical player would be able to equip themselves would be better, but I'd have thought in a research thread then it isn't completely useless information.

yeah for proper research, extremes and corner points can be very valuable

hey, i just said one may want to know also what's the average, and surely - how much it differs from the uber-hyper-duper max, in terms of turns, time and cost .-.

Point taken.
I wasn't saying that data from average equipment isn't also useful, I was just pointing out that it's not worth discounting it because it's max roll equipment, since it can still be used, especially for working out more accurate numbers without worrying about random equipment rolls affecting them. The less random elements the better, surely? I am saying this as someone who has no business in this thread as I ain't good at statistics, or numbers in general though lol, just want to point that out so I don't get quoted as if I know what I'm talking about. I'm mostly here just because it's interesting to read, even if I don't understand 100% of it.

We should be reminded that monster PMit continues to increase with player level. At level 300 an Arthropod would have 3 * 350 + 154 = 1204 Endurance and 3 * 245 + 154 = 889 Agility, resulting in PMit = 1 - 900 / (900 + 1204 + 889/2) = 64.7% while a Giant has 1264 Endurance, 694 Agility, and PMit = 64.2% and a Human has 754 Endurance, 994 Agility, and PMit = 58.2%

At my current level 378, SchoolGirls with PA3 suffer about 2.1 times normal damage, this corresponds to a PMit ≈ 60% which is slightly below the weakest regular monster Elemental which at my level has PMit ≈ 61%

Lately we debated whether Rapier or Shortsword is better with 1H Imperil style. I don't know which is better but at high levels approaching 500 the Rapier with Imperil will benefit more as monster PMit increases. At level 300 a Shortsword will have an easier time grinding down the occasional monster that didn't get Imperiled. I can't say whether non-Imp Rapier or Imp Shortsword improves more near level 500.

Shortswords have the same parry than rapiers and a higher ADB. If anything, enough reasons to make them just as viable as rapiers at lower levels, without even using Imperil since players won't even meet the tankiest monsters.

At higher levels (Lvl 310 and above to have 3 targets Imperil), it's a bit more complicated. Shortswords fit if you do can sustain your mana pool to cast Imperil 3 times a round. Monsters will remain at worst at 15-20% 34~38% PMit (for Imperiled level 500 monsters), which is fairly acceptable, especially with the higher ADB. At best they will be left at 0% 26~30% PMit (for Imperiled level 300 monsters) and Bleeding Wound will further increase your damage output.

Another major reason why Imperil shortsword is very, very good, is that while the monsters are imperiled, you deal devastating damage with your counterattacks. Players who just use a rapier mindlessly forget that their precious Penetrated Armor lasts only 7 turns, which makes it practically impossible to have more than 2-3 monsters afflicted by it at once while distributing the damage over the monsters. And out of the lot, most will have only 1-2 stacks of PA on them, mind you. While with imperil shortsword, you really don't care the duration: 30 turns is way enough, and you can even afford staying on the same non-imperiled monster (which is still very common) to slash it do death with stacks of BW, as the rest of the party will remain inflicted with Imperil and crash themselves with their reduced PMit. That way you can even afford diminishing the amount of monsters to help you survive if you're having a hard time.

The last reason why it's excellent: SG arenas. At best, with no-imperil rapier, you can reduce the SG's PMit to 0% 60% * (1 - 75%) = 15% and that's about it. if you do imperil the SG while playing rapier, well it doesn't change anything for the PMit (still 0% 7.5% from multiplicative stacking), it will only reduce her elemental mitigations as well (down to 35% instead of 75%), which will only result in more elemental strike damage (no change if dark/holy rapier). But with Imperil shortsword, you reduce her PMit to ~15% 30% at level 500 380, which is fairly acceptable, but you also inflict her with 5 stacks of BW that will have a noticeable effect, which in the end compensates the PMit by far and also provides a bonus.

We've studied Imperil mechanics more carefully since then so I'm updating the numbers. It doesn't invalidate any of the points made.

The idea to focus on the non-Imperiled monster with Shortsword should work just as well with Imperil 1H Rapier, if not better. Near level 500 with Shortsword it might be a better idea to just try to Imperil the monster again, considering your improved mana supply and higher monster PMit.

I'm not sure exactly how decondelite chooses targets these days, but I know he used to use Overpower 5 and that helps in being able to hit the non-Imperiled monster right away. Now I think this method could be improved upon. Because Overwhelming Strikes may be lost while casting Imperil x3 it might be better to spread or hit random stunned monsters for the first few turns. After Overwhelming Strikes is gotten back, the non-Imperiled monster has probably stunned itself by then. Switch to beating it down, then go back to the spread. If you use that method I don't think you need any Overpower, so you can instead get But5+Fat4 and do more damage.

why not picking the same build, similar weapons with similar IW and going against, saying, FSM and/or other wild beasts like IPU? doing it 3-4 times and taking an average should give us a clear hint of the efficiency of each style against a very tanky mob

I think it's more useful to test in regular arenas. Basara has provided the best comparisons to date. There aren't many players with excellent deprecating proficiency and similar weapons for both styles. Even with those, the results can change significantly depending on your player level, your choice of armors, and your targeting styles.

By the time someone has acquired the resources to test properly they will likely be level 430+ so we might never see a solid comparison in the level 300~400 range which could very well end up with Shortsword winning. I'd prefer to see comparisons using full Slaughter armor (high quality not necessary). Rapier would probably win with Balance armor (maybe even without Imperil) and Shortsword would probably win with a Protection/Warding set.

If we want to see a nice low level comparison we may need to groom someone on the techniques involved and help gather some of the necessary equipment. Right now I'm more interested in revisiting other previous topics: new (?) targeting styles and Haste, which I hope to elaborate on soon.

Because Overwhelming Strikes may be lost while casting Imperil x3 it might be better to spread or hit random stunned monsters for the first few turns. After Overwhelming Strikes is gotten back, the non-Imperiled monster has probably stunned itself by then. Switch to beating it down, then go back to the spread. If you use that method I don't think you need any Overpower, so you can instead get But5+Fat4 and do more damage.

That won't work. The only thing it'd result in is a loss of time. You're overestimating the probability of a monster being stunned or parrying an attack.
And I don't exactly use Overpower 5 to make sure I hit my targets, but because the gain of Fatality is barely any more useful and I want to be able to use my weapon for DW if I feel like to. Otherwise I'd be using B5F4 like everyone else.

As a very low level 1H player I used to target monsters individually but have been using the spread for a long time now so it's time for me to take another look at various targeting styles. I'll start by rehashing old knowledge then try to add new considerations. There are different types of spread targeting patterns and players may not be fully conscious of which ones they use.

Kill Monsters One at a Time: Best for low level players because it immediately reduces opponent numbers and lowers the damage you take. Less counter attacks are performed, which don't benefit from Penetrated Armor, becoming nearly useless if not using Imperil style. Very high level players should consider this method again because monsters have more PMit and spread styles allow PA to wear off.

Kill Stunned Monsters: Choose which monsters to kill by selecting the stunned ones. Haste and Swift Strike improve this by allowing more hits on stunned monsters, while Overpower becomes useless. Imperil also helps by allowing the first monster to get stunned. If you react well this benefit is free and can't be achieved with spread styles.

Leave Hurt Monsters to Die: Focus on stunned monsters individually but stop short of killing them, leaving them to die from future PA enhanced counters. With skilled reactions and estimation ability this can be the best method. Counter performance may compare to spread styles. Turns/second will likely drop a little.

Spread - Windshield Wiper: Hit monsters once each going up and down the screen. A variant of this deliberately hits monsters at the edges twice. Maximizes the number of counters, which can benefit from PA, but it may wear off. Mobs of 5+ make corner monsters lose PA. Mobs of 8+ cause the middle monster to always lose PA, and those in other positions may only build to PA2 at most.

Spread - Cycle Pattern: Hit monsters once each always moving in one direction. Distributes hits more uniformly than the wiper style. Mobs of 7 or less allow PA to possibly accumulate on everyone. Mobs of 8+ create a disaster. Could waste a tiny bit of time after each cycle if you don't move the mouse cursor fast enough.

Spread - Wiper Speed x2: Wipe at double speed, alternately skipping monsters. The ideal targeting pattern hits monsters 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 8, 6, 4, 2. This effectively replicates the Cycle Pattern without wasting any mouse cursor time. Difficult to perform and messing up could either lead to a disaster, or unintentionally become another targeting style.

Spread - Chaotic Balance: Use any of the previous spread styles while hitting enemies with higher remaining health more often. Keep all enemies alive as long as possible to truly maximize the number of counters. Beware PA will wear off more easily due to the uneven and inconsistent targeting.

Kill then Spread: Kill some monsters individually until the remaining mob is the desired size for optimum spread performance. Depending on player level, equipment, Daemon Duality, and the usage of Imperil or Haste the full spread options may not be the best, in which case this is likely a better method.

The Half Spread: Against large mobs, spread and kill only some of the monsters first, then spread and kill the remaining ones. Probably an improved version of the Kill then Spread method unless you want to kill specific monsters, or during tough challenges such as Grindfest and Item World. The first group can be left to die instead of wiped out.

Perfect Micromanagement: Minimize the number of turns by picking the perfect targets for every situation. You can benefit by hitting only Stunned enemies and never letting Penetrated Armor wear off even while fully spreading your attacks. Wastes way more time than it is worth but nice in theory.

I've always used Haste yet recently realized I have still been underestimating it. Despite many 1H players disliking Haste for the reason that it reduces the number of counter attacks by a third, it also extends the duration of your ailments by 50% which uniquely benefits the 1H style.

Penetrated Armor improves to 10 turns which makes the spread more effective. Overwhelming Strikes goes from 4 to 6 turns, becoming almost permanent in non-Imperil Rapier style. It still wears off occasionally thus I estimate I have Overwhelm x3 on average, for 60% counter-parry. It only inflicts 30% of the time so keeping it up is harder than Penetrated Armor which inflicts over 66% of the time on high level players, and more with Balance parts.

At worst Haste lowers your overall damage by 12% due to drop in counters. In practice some found a negligible drop in damage, and even an improvement in clear times. I previously attributed this to tests being done in Grindfest where ease of play together with the extended duration of Heartseeker and other buffs offset the damage loss.

If the true reason was improved Penetrated Armor, Overwhelming Strikes, and Stun duration then these benefits apply to arenas as well. Although most arenas don't have large mobs until the end so improved PA while spreading won't help as much.

In theory Swift Strike should be just as good as Haste but past tests suggested to me that maybe Swift Strike would never increase the duration of Penetrated Armor and Overwhelming Strikes because the amount is not enough to reach the difference threshold. Today I again tested Swift Strike (presumably, since I have 1.7% action speed bonus) without Haste to make things easier.

Swift Strike does seem to occasionally increase the duration of all ailments. When the duration of my inflicted ailments randomly increased at the start of rounds, they typically increase together. I've seen PA, Overwhelm, Stun, and Burn all simultaneously inflict with +1 duration. However if inflicted again later in the same round the duration would not be increased again. It appears there is some sort of timing jitter algorithm that is not described on the Action Speed section of the wiki, in order to keep speed bonuses fully functional at low amounts. Monsters were known to jitter, but not the player.

Swift Strike may be even better than Haste because the durations increased much more often than I would expect from the math, so there may be quirks in the jitter algorithm that favor low amounts of speed bonus. I also think I noticed that Overwhelming Strikes may get +1 duration, or perhaps a random fraction of a turn, each time a round ends (I am guessing this has nothing to do with Swift Strike).

Just for reference, the normal durations of ailments are below. I tested all these things with script turned off so I could count and analyze each turn carefully.

Penetrated Armor - 7 turns. You get to hit the enemy 7 times after inflicting PA. The "turns remaining" counter goes from 6 to 0, and you get to hit them again at 0.
Overwhelming Strikes - 4 turns. The "turns remaining" counter goes from 3 to 0. If Swift Strike gives an additional turn the counter will display 4 to 0.
Stun - 3 turns. The true duration is 4 turns just like DW club but in 1H it's inflicted when the monster hits you. The desync causes a turn to be lost in nearly all cases.
Burn - 3 turns. Same as above, the true duration is 4 turns but losing a fraction of a turn usually loses a whole turn. The counter typically displays 2 to 0.

I was surprised at how poorly my Overwhelming Strikes performed without Haste. I felt like it was inflicted only half the time, so I don't even get the +15% attack damage bonus! And on average I would only have 10% counter-parry from Overwhelming x1, this is pathetic compared to its power with Haste. All the other 1H players who don't use Haste should probably tell me I'm wrong: I only did the first two arenas today without Haste.

Though I won't claim I proved anything, right now all evidence suggests that Haste and Swift Strike are extremely beneficial for 1H style. They might be just as good as in Dual Wield or any other style!

We failed to appreciate before just how much better Overwhelming Strikes, Stun, and spread out Penetrated Armor get with Haste. If my crude estimations are accurate, using Haste gives us a 5~7% raw damage bonus just from Overwhelming Strikes being active way more often! That's already making up half the damage lost to counters in big arenas (in small arenas it fully makes up the counter damage).

Plus we get around 50% more counter-parry, roughly the equivalent of Overpower 12. Extrapolating the results from Research for 1H thread that's worth 1.3075% * 2.5 = 3.27% more hits. So altogether Haste unconditionally improves 1H by 8~9% from Overwhelming Strikes alone before considering the other factors like PA or difficulty.

If this is true then we've been doing so many things wrong. 1H can use the same stats as DW with nearly balanced Agility. SDA shields are as good as SDE shields, and we should be aiming for low burden armor. All 1H players should be using Haste in Grindfest, IW, and all arenas, except for perhaps Imperil styles (Penetrated Armor duration doesn't matter and Overwhelming Strikes is more likely to wear off anyway).

Though I won't claim I proved anything, right now all evidence suggests that Haste and Swift Strike are extremely beneficial for 1H style. They might be just as good as in Dual Wield or any other style!

Particularly in regards to this comparison: how does the increased attack speed affect your OC generation? Are you still capable of keeping up Spirit Stance infinitely, and is there an excess enough to use weapon skills in addition to this?

That question is easy to answer as I've been using Haste all my life, and so have a number of other 1H players. Unless going through a very bad stretch of luck with counter attacks, a Haste user can keep Spirit Stance up almost indefinitely with mobs of 3+ enemies. With 4+ enemies OC will accumulate enough to use skills, though of course at a lower rate compared to a non-Haste user.

For small arenas with lots of 1~2 enemy mobs your OC will drain, but if you build up enough OC before activating Spirit Stance, someone with high attack damage and Daemon Duality can usually make it through without losing Spirit Stance until the enemies increase in number. If I max my OC before activating Spirit Stance, sometimes I will run out once when doing the beginning parts of the SG arenas, but it's possible to make it through.

I repeated my previous tests again just now, doing the first two arenas again without script, this time with Haste. I wanted to check if my paltry 1.7% Swift Strike stacks with Haste.

Penetrated Armor - 10~11 turns, roughly half the time each. Though expected since Haste increases duration to 10.5 turns, I'm pleasantly surprised to discover it's not just 10 turns.
Overwhelming Strikes - 6~7 turns, with 7 turns occurring rarely. This proves Swift Strike still stacks with Haste.
Stun - 5~6 turns, with 6 turns being most common. This is mostly the result of Haste and a nice leap from 3 without it.

What bullshit is that...
While using haste you generate far less OC, that is far less OFC usage. In IW and GF, OFC makes you much faster. Without haste, you can ppl cast a OFC every 2~3 rounds while you are against 7~9 monsters.
Now with haste that's a huge loss. Will the counter-parry help you reduce turns as many as an OFC does, assuming half of the monsters are already stunned and unable to parry?

- snip-

Could you do a simple test? For example, play the 80 or 90 rounds arena, today without Haste and tomorrow with Haste, and compare the number of turns and the time.

I don't have Orbital Friendship Cannon and my logical thought process does not include that. My calculations and arguments are partially precise but parts are rough. I can't say whether Haste makes you faster or slower in the end, but what has become apparent is that Haste should or might not make you anywhere near as much slower as most people believed.

with haste :



without haste :

Fudo did the Haste comparison last year in Grindfest. His turn counts are exactly the same with or without Haste, and his clear time improved with Haste by 8.36%. Wow, looking at his data, Fudo used OFC.

My equipment isn't so great but I suppose it doesn't matter, I have become curious about the Haste comparison in arenas now. I may compare arena 80~100 tonight and tomorrow. Which regular arena has the biggest mobs of monster? I'll use the spread targeting style. Since I don't have OFC who knows what will happen, haha.

I believe things such as player level, equipment, Daemon Duality, playstyle, etc will affect the Haste comparisons, but it's complicated and I can't say which way things go. We can only try it.

He was using mag equipments, and there wasn't any information regarding his weapon, his forgings, his DDs. He was even using shadow veils (I don't know at what round he start to use shadow veils). Anyway, the record is only useful for drawing out his own conclusion, but never other player's conclusion. Nor for 1H specialists.

The clear time was due to more cures resulting in lower t/s, but not less turns. Would this ever apply to Arenas and IWs? Would this difference apply to players who have some degrees of investment on the armors?
The 8.36% is a lie that seems to be significant, but never helping giving us a valid conclusion for the vast majority. It's as misleading as some researches saying you have multiple times probability getting cancer while you are eating certain common food or having a certain habit. Please don't create these numbers to exaggerate the difference when they have no empirical meanings yet on studies and battles.

Checking Reseach for 1H in this topic, it appears that sssss2 always uses Haste at least in Grindfest. His number of counter attacks is characteristic of a Haste user (about 1:1 with his main attack) and his average counter-parry from Overwhelming Strikes appears to be about 50% like mine. I can't tell exactly because we don't know what monster's original parry is, especially those years ago.

Overpower increases the real hit rate by 1.3075%. (97.7102 / 96.4491 = 1.013075)

It appears the counter-parry from Overpower stacks additively with Overwhelming Strikes. This means Overwhelming Strikes does not diminish the usefulness of Overpower aside from the times when Overwhelming x5 reaches 100% counter-parry. It's mainly Stuns that diminish the usefulness of Overpower, and it looks as though approximately 38% of spread strikes hit unstunned enemies.

We previously neglected to consider that monster Parry increases with player level. This means Overpower becomes better on a high level player. All monster species at PL 2250 and level 500 player should have exactly 19% parry without chaos upgrades on Pfudor difficulty. Using sssss2's data of 38% unstunned enemies, Overpower at level 500 should improve to 0.38 * 4.6914% = 1.7827% this is wrong, too optimistic. Edit: I made some mistakes, I wish Sapo84 were still around to help me catch these.
