[quote="Rat Convoy"][quote="Caelus"][quote="Rat Convoy"]I saw one of your bots using an Energo-Sword, too, didn't I, Windy? I'd like to see any results you have with that, as well. Thanks.[/quote]

Cruellock's been using one for ages.

I'll retrieve his most recent records.

The Energo Sword looks good on paper, but it's never worked that well for me, even now that it's not contending with BBs.  Cruellock has had it purely for character reasons.[/quote]

Actually, it looks fairly damaging and it's quick to recharge... Definitely seems an improvement on Black Magic.

And thanks to both you and Windy, I've narrowed down the recharge rates on the Energo-Sword and Electric Cannon considerably.

More results:
The Metallikato Blade continues to impress, at least 56% damage on the second hit - but then I suspect my opponent wasn't actually wearing any armor... Or maybe Ceramic is just like tissue paper.

It's amazing how you can spend days tracking down a range for a weapon and then suddenly you get a log with everything you needed to know all within a few attacks of each other. The Laser Blazer Broadsword's recharge is 24 seconds. So says this log:
