So, I recently acquired an antigua for the first time, and decided to have some fun with it. Generally I stay away from guns, but I had a surplus of Jelly Gems, so I thought why the hell not. While I was getting a feel for it in the Training Hall, I decided to pull out some of my brandish weapons to troll the little area with the shuffle bots with massive explosions. What I noticed was this:

All are fully heated

Shockburst Brandish (3*):
First and second swing: 41 damage
Third swing: 45 damage
Charge: 71 damage

Boltbrand (4*):
First and second swing: 38
Third swing: 52 damage
Charge: 71 damage

Can someone explain this to me? Why does the 3* weapon deal more on the first swing, and the same on the charge, that a 4* weapon does?

Reduced by tier

Weapons are reduced depending on the tier. Health benefits from armor are also reduced depending on tier.

Lol

Similar names.

But Armenius, you're missing the point. Amecius means, why is the THREE STAR version doing more damage than the FOUR STAR version, at the SAME HEAT LEVEL.

They're both in the ATH, so everything's is scaled to T1 grade, I think. But that doesn't mean a higher grade weapon will be reduced to BELOW the damage rating of it's highest ranking predecessor for the tier it's in.

@Amecius: I really have no clue. Sorry.

Bad luck

It's just a little bad luck (or good luck depending on your pov)

Most weapons have a damage range that they can do rather than always hitting for a specific number.

I saw the same thing with the antiguas. The silversix and blackhawk were doing 12-13 damage a shot while my Argent and Sentenza now do 11... Just doesn't make sense to me. This is both before and after their updates

Armenius, I know about the scaling. I am not an idiot. I checked the wiki before coming here. Please read my post fully, or leave.

@Psycho Thank you very much :D

As long as they behave the right way on it's intended levels, why give a f____

It's not like you'll have troubles in T1 with that anways.

So rude

I noticed the damage a leviathan did in tier 1 was less than the damage from an ascended calibur at the same heat level. I really did read your post so not sure why so snappy.

@Armenius because I get very tired of people commenting just after reading the title, not the actually post.

That, and people asking how to put up a picture. Those are my two pet peeves here.
