So I was looking at Final Attack the other day, and a random thought popped in my head.
Since each attack is progessively weaker until the last hit is totally "level 20" damage all over again, I was mathing it out based on if all 6 hits total 250%.
What I got was this:
So this means that the first hit should be 1.2698 or 1.27%
So if we plug in Y = 1.27 to the original equation we get:
Rounded figures gave:
1.27
0.63
0.32
0.16
0.08
0.04
added up gives 2.50
But for some reason the distribution seems a bit off. I've seen the first hit of my FA go over the max dmg of my SB, and this is with no combo orbs, as I tested with no buffs.
I'm wondering where I went wrong, or if it's correctly mathed out?
I think the numbers might be off because my math assumes linear distribution of Z, Z being the 2.5 multiplier of FA's total damage. If anyone knows if its non-linear if they could post the distribution I would appreciate it.

Solving for the initial hit

Calculating the other hits based off Y = 1.27
