HV Research Thread — Data-Driven Findings

Source: forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=232444 Author: Noni (mod, L500), research by sssss2

sssss2's 1H Research (Level 468, PFUDOR Grindfest)

Setup

  • Legendary Arctic Rapier of Slaughter (Butcher Lv.5, Fatality Lv.4)
  • Physical Attack: 10,842 base
  • Hit: 212.2%, Crit: 53.38% (48.2% + Heartseeker 10%)
  • Crit dmg: +83% (+68% + Heartseeker 15%)
  • Def: 82.5% phys mit, 76.5% mag mit, 66.7% block, 65.4% parry

Butcher vs Fatality Analysis

  • Butcher Lv.5: Increases attack base damage by 2.312%
  • Fatality Lv.5: Increases crit damage by 10%
  • At 53.38% crit rate:
    • Butcher: Normal 2.455x, Counter 0.767x, Skill 1.432x
    • Fatality: Normal 2.454x, Counter 0.750x, Skill 1.454x
  • Verdict: Butcher better for normal attacks + counters, Fatality better for skills
  • "Butcher's efficiency will be reduced if I wear 5x Power Slaughter" (diminishing returns with Slaughter suffix)

Overpower Analysis (Potency Tier 5)

  • Normal hit rate without Overpower: 96.45%
  • Normal hit rate with Overpower Lv.5: 97.71%
  • Overpower increases real hit rate by ~1.3%
  • "Overpower applies only to normal attacks"
  • "A counter-attack stuns monsters, which can't parry. For this reason, Overpower is less efficient than Butcher and Fatality (to one-handed style)"

Spike Shield Analysis

  • Cold/Elec/Wind Strike with proper Spike Shields are better than Holy/Dark Strike (except SG arena)
  • Flame Spike Shield reduces monster's cold resistance by 25%
  • Data shows Cold Strike with Flame Spike outperforms both Dark Strike and Holy Strike
  • This is why the author kept Arctic Rapier instead of switching to Hallowed/Demonic
