Calculating Damage

A = Ability Points of Main Power Up = 10 × [Number of Main Power Up Main Slots] + 3 × [Number of Main Power Up Sub Slots]

For Shooters & Dualies & Splatlings & Splatcharger & Bamboozler

Damage=[Base Weapon Damage]*(1+(0.99×A−(0.09×A)^2)÷150)

For Rollers & Goo Tuber

Damage=[Base Weapon Damage]*(1+(0.99×A−(0.09×A)^2)÷200)
