The strongest monster in the Magnetic Cave is the Ogre.
Relevent Stats:
5x 60 @ 80%
The damage range that the Ogre deals by default is 300 to 450.
With an 80% hit rate, the damage given on that average w/o considering defense becomes 240 to 360.
On testing damage range, 100% of your attack power is what you see on the stat screen,
150% of the attack power is the maximum, and 125% is the average.
Let's compare strictly Cid with my ideal equipment vs Cid with the Silver Equipment for the moment.
If the enemy attacks my ideal Cid...
1 = defense multiplier, 4 = number of attacks left by the monster that is unevadable, .70 is evade rate factor (1.00-.30), .80 is the monster's hit rate
(1 * (60-25) * .70 + 4 * (60-25)) * .80 = 131 points of damage taken at minimum on average
(1 * (75-25) * .70 + 4 * (75-25)) * .80 = 188 points of damage taken at average on average
(1 * (90-25) * .70 + 4 * (90-25)) * .80 = 244 points of damage taken at max on average
Note: Remember to truncate where applicable.
If the enemy attacks Mythril/Silver Cid...
(5 * (60-40)) * .8 = 80 points of damage taken at minimum on average
(5 * (75-40)) * .8 = 140 points of damage taken at average on average
(5 * (90-40)) * .8 = 200 points of damage taken at max on average
So, the difference isn't as significant as it seems.
Sure you take approximately 48 points less damage on average with the full Silver/Mythril set,
but damage is not as significant as you would think, especially when Cid gains a ton of HP per level
at about the same pace Yang is.
Now, onto the Cid attacking the Ogre on my next post.
