dots are always applied and fully stacked at battle start; gnsw stacks are dynamic

light cone

% vs e0s0

158.4 spd, 480 toughness, lightning/wind weak enemy (yanqing, for example)

small innacuracies while breaking in the middle of a multihit attack (sampo skill is calced as if it's 100% before break -- actual dmg would be higher)

kafka payn; starts with 1 stack from tech and adds +2 (fua+E) after first turn, so slight innacuracy in AV vs actual (since fua boosts sooner than simmed)

bailu used, which impacted break timing, though huohuo would do the same

ehr was not calculated -- wind shear is at 3 stacks after sampo's first skill, and 5 after his second (sampo has 67% ehr, kafka 28.3%)

kfm info page lc comparisons are from 1.2 and are highly outdated, and the rest of the team is waiting a bit to do proper calcs, so i decided to just run em myself :kafderp:

this sheet is intended to show the actual dmg increase over gnsw for the context that most players seem to run: double dot + support,

even if they might get more mileage out of triple dot with reso gui with gnsw since you lose out on the prisoner stack, for a couple reasons: unit investment, gameplay smoothness, and substat investment

lots of players, especially those who can't justify getting payn, also would have a hard time justifying investing into another 4* dot

running triple dot is also less braindead than normal since you have to share sp more evenly between your two 4* dots, and i see players ask about it constantly because they're having trouble

additionally, yes, you could get more spd on your gnsw kafka to get the firma stacks, but it's not worth the loss in atk subs, plus it's difficult to do. this combined with not "needing" to run triple dot is exactly the huge qol that payn provides

sampo has much lower attack with much higher spd than kee's build, which is generally recommended especially for wave 2, but this is not particularly objective especially considering the difficulty in achieving this

totally valid to disagree with sampo's stats given that i literally already said that investment is a reason people run this and it's supposed to be realistic, but the point of this is to have a realistic comp for comparison

(and also just ignoring most atk% subs in favor of focusing completely on spd is the way to achieve this, and is not as difficult as it sounds -- you're trying for just two subs now (spd/ehr + bonus random atk%) instead of three, which is more so the reason why 4* dots are relatively hard to build)

also the reason each gnsw superimp does barely anything is because we're using rm who gives so much dmg% already (this is valid, simply due to how ungodly strong ruan mei is for dot -- she is and will continue to be a mainstay for the comp)

BREAK extend

same stats, team comp, and setup between lcs

this means that, by design, firmament and prisoner are not at full stacks
