Talk:Magika Ruche (The Conjurer of the Ages)/@comment-25240848-20140807234551

I have fully unlocked Ruche and was curious to what she could do damage-wise so for my test I ran through the 3-star quest of Scarlet Woods with +100 water ATK giving her 826 base attack. I have found interesting results that lead me to believe that her multiplier is more than x5.0

I recorded over 25 numbers from her hitting red fodder at zero combo both with her AS active and not active. With her AS not active her numbers are close to what she damage she would deal according to the current damage calculation. I recorded her dealing between 572 at lowest and 668 highest. Based on the damage algorithm her base damage against fire without AS is 619.5. The high and low numbers are within 10% deviation so this checks out.

However this is where things get interesting. With AS active and given the information from the first paragraph her base damage against fire should be 3097 with deviations between 2787 and 3407. This wasn't the damage range that Ruche was dealing. In fact she was dealing more damage than her multiplier states. After my recording many damage numbers at zero combo the lowest number I got was 3451 and the highest I got was 4206. This gives her approximate base attack against fire to be 3830.

What's odd here is that this is implying that Ruche's damage calculation is either different than the standard or her multiplier is greater than x5.00. Her effective attack should be 4130 but it's 5106 instead. Assuming her attack is 826 and the base damage against fire is 3830 her multiplier is about x6.18. That's unprecidented and astronomical. I need to do more testing with her potential max attack to 1026 with other water ATK boosts. If it is to be assumed her multiplier is x6.18 her eATK would be 6340. That doesn't make her the highest potential damage dealer. Theodore given the same circumstances of fully unlocked and +400 water ATK boost would have an eATK of 6920. What makes Ruche really notable is that she is dealing exceptionally high damage without relying on a combo.

I want to know what others think of this and could this either be intentional or a glitch to Ruche's damage calculation? Seeing as the mana system is out in the JP version and will eventually make its way here she will gain another +200 ATK giving her 1226 or with AS active the eATK of 7576 which at that point she would surpass Theodore with base 3206 ATK (+200 ATK, +400 Water ATK, +200 mana ATK) with a slightly less eATK of 7380 with combo going. Ruche if these calculations are correct may be a hidden gem and a wonderful spirit to use for those who still have her. With a 6-turn dual red/blue emblem(down to 4 initial) and amazing ATK Ruche has the potential to be top tier.
