Strength: 99 (empty hand attack power 48)
Artemis Bow attack power: 80
Artemis Arrow attack power: 75
40 + 75 + 24 = 139
The exact amount shown in game. Nice work.
*edit*And using the attack multiplier that's a 2641 damage median.
I decided to figure this out, after a long while... and just seeing for shits and giggles how much attack power the ShortBow+Medusa would do... apparently the game told me that this combo was
weaker than if Rosa attacked with her fists... so I went like
On a seperate note, this kind of data gathering is actually really good for the hacker to come up with the right amount of weapon and armor attack power. Example, I have the experience setup so the party is at level 25 by the time you get to the underground and I only want the best wepaon to do a max of 3000. So if the character has a bow/arrow weapon (in this case) I could pin point the almost exact damage range he will do with the weapon at the party's level range at that time period in the game.
Brilliant.
I'm an overleveler so most of this is just nice to know for level ups. I find myself taking tradeoffs a lot, like using the Headband over the Silver Helmet for upping stats and stuff like that.. just for an extreme. I've never found "generic" equipment to be any good.. and I find myself tweaking the final equipment.. to the point where I have to debate (internally) the merits between the Aegis Shield vs the Crystal Shield. There's nothing like it.
Anyways, at one time, I was gonna try to figure out how Edge's attack bonus thing worked, but it was already "documented" in the FF4A Equipment FAQ..
Formula is essentially:
Weapon on Left Hand + Weapon on Right Hand + (Strength/4 + Level/4) *2
Note: Truncation must be done on the division of course.
The only exception here is that the formula is ignored when both hands have a claw. Edge can carry 1 claw w/o being penalized as long as the other hand is filled with a weapon (and not another claw).
