Inconsistant damage?

[Silvaya]

you need about 620+ ATA to consistently heavy hit things in online SH dark shrine.
consistently meaning 95%+

and if you have 750+ EVP, things in SH dark shrine should miss you quite often.

Thanks for that, all i've seen is are figures around 550ATA for superhard constantly hitting

That's for light-light-heavy hitting, it seems. I try to light-heavy-heavy with anything below 550 ATA and it's a gamble.

550 ATA for constantly hitting with normal attacks. heavy hitting needs more ATA to land each one cuz it reduces ur ATA (i think that's how it works, i'm not sure). so if you only have 550 ATA, you will fall below the threshold of 520ish ATA for consistently normal hitting in SH

i assume you're doing heavy-heavy-heavy, like i do

imo, its more beneficial to cut down on some ATP and add to ATA to do heavy because a heavy attack is ~1.4x as strong as a normal attack, easily making up for you lost ATP and then some

Well, i've heard that a heavy attack reduces your ata to .7 for a 1.4 increase in damage. BUT your base ata increases for every part of the combo. that figure i've lost/cant remember

EDIT: My atp is 788, and my ata is 571 with foie-haze at the moment

i dont think that's right. if that's the case, you need about 750 ATA to land the first heavy hit consistently, if thats the first attack you do. but i rarely miss when using a heavy attack at the beginning of a chain with 620 ATA. if that 0.7 number is right, my ATA would've been adjusted down to 430ish, and should miss with a very high frequency, which isn't the case.

anyways, it's getting late, i'm off to sleep. night!

That might be PSO on the cube, or something i dont remember D:... anyway good night =D
