AirStrike damage a lie?

Another idea: Buy some of the lvl 10 bullets and put them above all of the other bullets, as this is how Maple decides which set to take from first when it comes to arrows and Throwing stars. Presumably it's the same with bullets.

Level 10 bullets still have 10atk. I actually thought of that then realized it wasnt going to work.

Good News! I did find the formula and calculated everything without bullets. The numbers seem to add up (minimum of about 10,300 and max of around 18,500, which is exactly what i was seeing), so the conclusion is Airstrike ignores bullets. Nice work team
