Do 10 guns of the same type that deal 1 damage do the same damage as 1 gun that deals 10 damage? I want to know if the game rolls damage per weapons group(1-10 for the 10 guns, 1-10 for the 1 gun), or for each gun individually(1-1 for the 10 guns, 1-10 for the one gun). |
I think someone said that they roll per each weapon type... so 10x 1 damage beam is the same as 1x 10 damage beam... but of course those 1 damage beams take up a crap-ton more space so its pretty balanced.
I still don't believe that multiple weapon types are the way to go. Example:
0/18/0 attack vs 0/4/0 defense (assuming max rolls) = 14 damage done
6/6/6 attack vs 0/4/0 defense (again assuming max) = 4+2+4 = 10 damage done
9/9/0 attack vs 0/4/0 defense = 7+5 = 12 damage done
So yes, with multiple attack types you get a couple more shots vs armor "weakness" but you also get rolled against 3x resulting in reduced overall damage.
For defense though, if you have multiple opponents and can't specialize, then it IS better to spread out your defenses instead of just picking one.. but only marginally.
0/24/0 attack vs 4/4/4 defense = (4+2+2 defense) = 18 damage
0/24/0 attack vs 0/12/0 defense = 12 damage
0/24/0 attack vs 12/0/0 defense = 20 damage
