Dragon's Fang inaccuracy?

[Airship Canon]

From GameFAQs...

Dragon's Fang proc dealing 28 damage after a 16 damage prediction.

The site says +50% damage, this is +75%.

The poster also claims to have seen it deal more than even that.

And with a Skill*.75 activation rate, 50% more damage is... shoddy.

Perhaps it's 50% more... Attack?

Hmm...looking at the skill's japanese description (攻撃時、技*0.75%で発動。攻撃力の半分を与えるダメージに追加) It might be taking half your character's attack power and adding it as flat damage, piercing the enemy's DEF stat. Also, can someone check the ingame description for Lutz's Personal Skill? I think it might be mistranslated on the Personal Skill page.

Yes, it takes half of yout attack power (which should be attacking stat+weapon might, but for some reason the final attack power is sometimes higher or lower, idk why) and adds it onto the damage you're dealing. I suppose you can view it as...an extremely strong Luna?

So... fundamentally it does add 50% ATTACK not 50% Damage.

Damage = [Attack - DEF] + [Attack/2]

and

Damage = [Attack + [Attack/2]] - DEF

Are basically the same for most practical purposes.

So is it basically a Genealogy style critical hit, except with a 1.5x multiplier instead of the old 2x multiplier?

Depends on if it can stack with crit.

If it can't then yes.

If it can, then it's just a powerful proc... [and the way it's working... it kinda does justify the Skill *.75-- it's not as powerful as Aether, but better than Luna. ...Of course, so is Breaking Sky, and /THAT/ got a Skill*1.5...]

(Dragon's Fang/Breaking Sky on Kamui and Kanna? Yes, much.)

Duh, it should be allies, not enemies. Lemme fix it...

Well I created a topic where we discuss the best skillsets. And I don´t have dragin fang on my avatar set for hoshido and 3rd route cause I think astra is still better. Also there is some crazy thing going (lethality is op as hell)

But I still thnk astra is the best option
