But so far.... I dun think we know how does vengeance work ?_? :f6: the mysterious skill.
The damage boost was unfortunately pretty necessary with final attack only working with u-strafe once and 500k snipe being way too low, especially with apples. Crossbow damage ranges go up around 4x with the new formula and potential system, so without criticals, u-strafe hits about 12x the damage as regular strafe does now in gMS. That's about ~480k per attack using my own MM's damage range as a rough reference, so that should be quite close to 500k considering criticals and the -25% boss damage. So yeah, snipe doesn't really help much, the extra final attacks from hurricane help way more. Also, as a reference, MMs in gMS can already break 200k on a strafe on an apple with all hits criticalling.
