File:Damage Up Chargers Chart.png

Formula

The table below contains base values for the following attributes of each weapon:

• D_MIN - The damage done by an uncharged shot.
• D_MAX - The damage done by a fully charged shot, ignoring the game's bonus damage calculation.
• D_BONUS - Damage added on top of D_MAX for fully charged shots.
• F_MIN - The number of frames (unit of time where 1 second = 60 frames) the weapon takes to fire an uncharged shot.
• F_MAX - The number of frames the weapon takes to fire a fully charged shot.

${\displaystyle A=AbilityPoints=10*Mains+3*Subs}$

B = D_MIN modified by Damage Up = [Base D_MIN] × (1 + (${\displaystyle 0.99*A-(0.09*A)^{2}}$ ) / 100)

C = D_MAX modified by Damage Up = [Base D_MAX] × (1 + (${\displaystyle 0.99*A-(0.09*A)^{2}}$ ) / 100)

D = Damage Per Frame = (C − B) / (F_MAX − F_MIN)

E = Frames to Lethal Charge = ((100 − B) / D) + F_MIN

Round up E to a whole number, because a fraction of a frame is meaningless.

Seconds to Lethal Charge = E / 60

Percent of the in-game charge circle that needs to be filled for a lethal charge = E / F_MAX × 100%

Note on the Bamboozler: A full Bamboozler charge is not lethal, so the given F_MAX value is not used. Instead, two equal partial charges were used to create the Bamboozler's curve. A Bamboozler's half-charge was found to take about 13 frames, so a base value of 13 was used instead of the normal value of 20.

Note on the Squiffer: The Squiffer does not show benefit from Damage Up because of the lower D_MAX value of 80. It takes plenty of Damage Up to finally bring this up to 100 where the E-liter 3K and Splat Charger started in the first place.
