Maybe I missed something. I have a rank of 8, but can only install up to Nucleon Tempered Titanium (rank 6). Meanwhile, there are 2584 units of Dutronium and 2259 units of ELectrum waiting in the armoury. Why can't I get any of those?

4. absurd or foolish: an inept remark.

Electrum = Good
Nucleon tempered Titanium = Bad.

It's the cosmic balance of things. Gotta make sure your bots live up to their names!

So no one has the answer? They can't stay inept forever........... can they?

You're threatening to upset the delicate balance of the universe ... you think this reset for V2 is because everyone should have a fresh start? Think again. It's to make sure the Ineptibots go back to being inept!

thats not a fair comparison, as the only common attack both bots land is ram, which negates armour; the blades and unarmed attacks have different raw damages, not to mention hetacombs lower endurance skewing the results.

2 end isnt that much a difference

2 end isnt that much a difference

depends on the strength of the hit and whether armour absorbtion is caculated before endurance absorption, but i've yet to pin down the raw damage for brawlers so it's moot anyway

[steve2275]

id say 2 or 3% more for blades

[Tammuz]

id say 2 or 3% more for blades

raw damage? after end but not after armour? after end and armour, or before end but after armour?

2 end is a 20% difference in damage absorbtion at that point

and as both of you are at 10str you maximised the range of you respective weapons since you've increased the minimum and maximum damage caps by the same amount, effectively maximising the RNG effect on damage.
