Sunspot flare state damage

Huskers327

So I was bored and decided to investigate if sunspot was getting the full bonus damage per flare state that he should be getting based on this line in his bio (5/65 sunspot)



As it turns out, he doesn’t get the full damage increase. For critical hits, it’s pretty close to the increase in the description (1,015), but for the non-crits it doesn’t increase as much (827). I have a couple videos linked below, which should include all crits and non-crits for mediums and lights for 1 through 4 flare states. But I have them broken down below as well. Not a big deal, but I thought it was interesting)

Medium attacks
1 flare
- crit = 4152
- non = 1839
2 flare
- crit = 5167 (increase 1015)
- non = 2666 (increase 827)
3 flare
- crit = 6183 (increase 1015)
- non = 3492 (increase 827)
4 flare
- crit = 7199 (increase 1016)
- non = 4319 (increase 827)

Light attacks
1 flare
- crit = 3026
- non = 1476
2 flare
- crit = 4042 (increase 1016)
- non = 2302 (increase 826)
3 flare
- crit = 5057 (increase 1015)
- non = 3129 (increase 827)
4 flare
- crit = 6073 (increase 1016)
- non = 3956 (increase 827)

TL;DR sunspot’s flare states don’t provide the amount of bonus damage on basic attacks that is in his description.

Okaythen

I think it’s possible the reason is because it goes off or adds to base attack
I check on auntmai and the 5/65 SS also had a 1049 and from you pic you had about a 12% increase in attack from SS base damage is at 5/65
