LBG Motion Value Worksheet

	A	B	F	G	H	K
1	Damage Model					Notes
2
3	Total Damage	Round(Physical Damage) + Round(Elemental Damage)				Elemental Attack Up
4
5	Physical Damage	Round(Physical Attack x Affinity x Critical Distance x Rapid Fire x Motion Value x Hit Zone)				I have no idea how Elemental Attack Up skills work, other than they arent consistent between guns
6	Physical Attack	Round((Weapon Raw x Normal Up x Pierce Up x Spread Up x Elementless) + Attack Up)				For example, a 170 Raw + 30 FIre Atk damage !== 200 Raw Atk damage
7
8	Elemental Damage	Round(Elemental Attack x Affinity x Rapid Fire x Motion Value x Elemental Hit Zone)				My best guess is that either my damage formula for elemental damage is 100% wrong, or this
9	Elemental Attack	Round(Weapon Raw + Attack Up + Elemental Attack Up?)				has something to do wtih the Elemental Caps, and how effective the skill is is based off the raw
10
11	Skills					Unfortunately I dont think theres a wide enough range of bowguns with true damage to suss that out
12
13	Affinity	1.25 for Physical, 1.3 for Elemental w/ Crit Ele				For those min/maxing, you only need 3 to hit the cap and with end game guns its ~5 damage (2 = ~4)
14		Critical Boost only increases Physical
15	Critical Distance	1.0 (in range), 0.8 (too close), 0.1 (too far)				Slicing Ammo Decimal
16	Rapid Fire	1 if first bullet, 0.5 for additional
17	Normal/Pierce/Spread Up	1.1				The only way slicing ammo fit into this equation was with a fractional Motion Value
18	Elementles	1.1
19		Only applies to guns unable to fire elemental bullets, including dragon. Changes display raw				This may mean that the "real" underlying equation is different, or that theres some multiplier
20	Attack Up	Any additive attack increase (Atk Up, Agitator, etc)
21	Elemental Attack Up?	I have no idea how this works, other than its not the 30/60/100 the skill displays.				Effectively though this MV is accurate for estimating damage, so I went with it
22
23	Motion Values		Motion Values (MHGen)	Estimated MV (1.5 CD)	Estimated MV (1.0 CD)	Comparison With Gen
24	Normal Ammo 1	10	Normal Ammo 1	11.7	7.8
25	Normal Ammo 2	20	Normal Ammo 2	23.4	18	Based off of this post I wanted to compare MVs from Gen (https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/4yzlw5/mhgen_bowgun_ammo_guide/)
26	Normal Ammo 3	32	Normal Ammo 3	19.5 x (1-4)	13 x (1 - 4)
27	Pierce Ammo 1	7	Pierce Ammo 1	17.55	11.7	However the equation was a bit different in gen so the MVs aren't directly comparable, we have to include
28	Pierce Ammo 2	7	Pierce Ammo 2	13.65	9.1	the 1.3x multiplier gen does, and consider the 1.5x Critical Distance, so this table has 2 columns
29	Pierce Ammo 3	8	Pierce Ammo 3	13.65	9.1
30	Spread Ammo 1	6	Spread Ammo 1	5.85	3.9	The first is the calculated MV with the 1.3x multiplier and 1.5 CD, the second is assuming 1.0 CD
31	Spread Ammo 2	7	Spread Ammo 2	7.8	5.2
32	Spread Ammo 3	8	Spread Ammo 3	9.75	7.5	N.B. These values are based off my understanding of the MHGen damage formula but may
33	Elemental Ammo	5 Physical + 27 Elemental	Elemental Ammo	7 Physical + 45 Element	7 Physical + 45 Element	not be accurate to reality, I present them as a though experiment, dont get hot about em
34	Dragon Ammo	2 Physical + 18 Elemental	Dragon Ammo	1 Physical + 40 Element	1 Physical + 40 Element
35	Slicing Ammo	6.3 x 5	Slicing Ammo	8 x 3	8 x 3
