ARC03 - Reroll PDIC Study summary
2

PLEASE READ THIS TO UNDERSTAND THE DATA AND CHOICES MADE

This sheet runs down many common squadballs of various size and summaries the impact of reroll PDIC (as it was before the update) on their damage output. This is aimed to support new PDIC testing and adjustments.

Squadball chosen are ones that are common in competition but also some less common, and some perceived as impacted by reroll PDIC. I've also included in a few screens and medium squadballs, as a reference, as it may not be obvious to all that turning reroll PDIC into a flat damage reduction will affect those much more than reroll PDIC.
Assumptions on ability usage and pdic reroll strategy are defined for each squad build.

Included for each are an average measure of the damage / damage after reroll PDIC / damage saved by reroll PDIC, but also cumulative probabilities to get a sense of expected low/highrolls
This page has the average damage summary for all tested squadballs (you won't find summary details on variance).

The main thing to keep in mind is that the squadball numbers assume that the entire squadball goes at the pdic ship. This means the numbers displayed are the maximum theoritical impact. In many cases in game, PDIC will have a lesser impact, because you can't get everybody on target ! (because they're dead or out of range). This means that the actual damage saved is probably lower in practice than what is displayed here.

For some squadballs (mainly CIS), I've broken it down into subsets to bring out more relevant data. Of course PDIC rerolls overperform when you send 7 vultures at it, duh.

If something looks off (very possible, as I had to fill a lot of configuration files by hand and I messed up test batteries a few times in the process), please tell me !
