What's up, Deepwoken mathmagicians and spreadsheet warriors? 🤓🗡️ Ever wondered why your tiny dagger sometimes hits like a truck, or why your massive hammer feels slower than your grandma's internet? Well, grab your calculators and put on your thinking caps, because we're about to dive deep into the nitty-gritty of Deepwoken weapon mechanics!
Damage Calculation: When Math Meets Mayhem
Alright, let's break down how Deepwoken decides just how much "ouchie" your weapon does:
The Basic Formula
For weapons with one scaled attribute (excluding bleed and modifiers), here's the magic formula:
Damage = 0.00075 x {BaseDamage x AttributeScaling x AttributeLevel x [1 + (Proficiency x 0.065)]} + BaseDamageLet's break this down for the non-mathlete:
- BaseDamage: The weapon's starting damage. Think of it as the weapon's "personality".
- AttributeScaling: How well the weapon vibes with your stats.
- AttributeLevel: Your level in the relevant attribute. Gym time pays off!
- Proficiency: Your skill with the weapon. Practice makes perfect!
Damage Multipliers: Because Basic Math Was Too Easy
But wait, there's more! When you factor in damage multipliers:
MultipliedDamage = WeaponDamage x (1 + DamageModifiers%/100)Bleed Damage: Making Your Enemies Leak
For our vampire wannabes, here's how bleed damage works:
BleedDamage = WeaponDamage x 1.3Or if you want to get fancy with multipliers:
BleedMultipliedDamage = WeaponDamage x (1 + [DamageModifiers% + 30%]/100)Attack Speed: The Art of Swoosh
Ever wondered why some weapons feel like they're moving through molasses? Let's talk attack speed!
The Speed Formula
Here's how to calculate how long it takes for your weapon to go swoosh:
Attack Speed (in seconds) = (1 / SwingSpeed) / 2In human speak:
- A weapon with 0.5x swing speed takes about 1 second to swing
- A weapon with 1.0x swing speed takes about 0.5 seconds to swing
DPS: For the Spreadsheet Lovers
Want to know your Damage Per Second? Here's a simple formula (excluding bleed, endlag, and ping):
DPS = Weapon Damage x SwingSpeed x 2Pro Tips for Weapon Mechanic Mastery
- Balancing Act: High damage often means lower speed. Find your sweet spot!
- Stat Synergy: Match your weapon's scaling to your highest stats for maximum pain
- Proficiency Matters: Don't neglect your weapon skills. Every point counts!
- Bleed is Your Friend: For sustained damage, bleed effects can be a game-changer
- Speed Kills: Sometimes, a faster weapon with lower damage can outperform a slow heavy-hitter
Fun Facts to Impress Your Friends
- Changing stances doesn't affect swing speed. It's all about that base (speed)!
- The weapon with the highest base damage? Hivelord's Hubris and Divine Greatsword, both at a whopping 30!
- The fastest swing speed belongs to the Divine Dagger at 1.3x. It's basically teleporting at this point.
Conclusion: Knowledge is Power (and Damage)
Understanding weapon mechanics in Deepwoken isn't just for the nerds (though we love you, nerds!). It's about maximizing your potential and becoming a true weapon master. Whether you're calculating optimal DPS or just trying to figure out why your sword feels like a wet noodle, remember: in Deepwoken, math is your secret weapon!
