All weapons sorted by damage and token cost

Updated from Scarponi's original post. Laser attacks are assumed to roll a 3, and with this assumption in mind Push the Button averages 7.4 damage so I rounded down to 7. This slightly undersells laser weapons but I wanted to appeal to the pessimist in all of us. Anyway, here goes:

Between the extra 0.5 damage from rolls and the extra damage from handicaps it seems weird that laser weapons are rounded down.

 

Just shows you how ahead of the damage curve The Strongarm is, without any drawbacks.

I've always looked at my Mindless Aggressions (the item with the highest base damage) and wondered how I could work around it. You know, Strong Bludgeon is only 2 damage away, and costs a card less... Perhaps Controlled Overswing could have a damage value of 11 instead? It's 2 points below the damage a Strong Bludgeon would have with Savage Curse.

 

Maximum damage for Laser strike in multiplayer: You roll a 2. You deal 9 damage. You draw Meltdown. You do 8 damage. To 6 characters. Over 3 turns. 9 + (8 X 6 X 3) = 153.

Maximum damage for Bersherk Spin in muliplayer: You hit 5 characters with 6 damage and do one 1 damage to yourself: (5 x 6) + 1 = 31.

Maximum damge for Laser Broadsword in mulitplayer: 654.

 

I like that idea to make laser attacks roll 3 every time in these calculations because malfunctions are genereally bad.
Btw does Laser Strike with a roll of 3 and AoA do 17 or 20 damage?

 

I think it does 20 damage.

 

Yup, it's 20.

 

Erratic damage is added onto All out attack, though I'm not sure about punishing attacks or Anvil Strike.

 

Punishing attacks and anvil strike don't double with it. (that is why punishing attacks go through lifesaving block)

 

Interesting list... It'd be more interesting if you added how many moves each item has next to it though

 

Oh dear....

 

What's more of an 'oh dear' moment is that I know the card make-up of like half of these by heart, yet I gotta use an app or Facebook to remember people's birthdays

 

poor powerpike, best damage output of all range 2 weapons, but with the data that will be provided it will look mediocre.

 

I see my favourite Trickster's Maquah high on the list. Sadly no step attacks but for elf it can be devastating weapon, with three Parry piercing attacks and two Blows that blow through Realiable Mail and are easily capable of dealing same damage as Bejeweled Shortsword. And just like Bejeweled it's a common item.

On a sidenote all those weapons that are capable of dealing more damage than listed value should have it listed, example not just "52" but "52+"

 

Also, what I have always done: I have added x damage for penetrating attacks. Usually I've taken x = 1.5 but x = 1 would mean no decimals and also appeal to the pessimists inside us

Edit: But there's no telling where to stop at. Can add damage to chops, Fiery Stab, hard to block attacks...

 

That is true. Double rounding down seems not so accurate.

Not only the moves are important, but also the standard deviation would be interesting. At least it is the reason why I dont like for example The Hackmaster, while Strongarm gets even better with that perspective.

 

This. Some items are better because they offer great consistency, while others are better because they are top-heavy but reasonably so. The former is better when you want consistent draw, the latter is better if your deck plays at a slower pace, keeping cards at the end of rounds. See Bejeweled Shortsword and Infused Greatclub.

The idea behind Infused Greatclub is that you're going to lead with weaker attacks anyway, so in effect you're better distributing damage in consideration of blocks.

The idea behind Bejeweled Shortsword is that you're going to have every hit be deadly. You can topdeck (i.e., draw from the top of your deck) a 11-damage strike more consistently.

This is why items like The Lunginator are also viable. You have a top-heavy damage distribution with a tech distribution in the reverse direction. You will likely topdeck a techy attack if you don't have a heavy hitter. You can keep the heavy attacks at the end of the round while you topdeck your techy step attacks.

 

Is there a list like this for staffs?

 

Has someone the will and courage to update post Mitternacht ?
also , a synthetic indicator about range could be added (+1 for spear attack, +1 or +2 for step attack)

 

If we do those then we might as way give bash something, and penetrating something, hard to block, when blocked deal damage, what about blocks, and chops, and traits, and blind rage effect, movement cards, large weapon, fiery stab, barge, purging strike, laser cutdown, anvil strike, clumsy chop, polearm slash, all out attack, charge, ...
Too much complexity if we do all that.
