Equipment FP Cost

[Junis]

The equipment window for weapons lists three values for fp cost, one leading value, and two inside brackets, basically fp-costs are listed as form A ( B C ). What do these different values mean?

On that note, I am searching for an in-depth guide on weapons and stats. So far, I could only find bits and pieces; most guides seem to miss crucial information. If somebody got a link, that would be highly appreciated (I am searching for information on poise damage of weapons, how charged attacks affect values, weapon scaling, two-handing weapons...)

the first number is the cost of the weapon skill, and i believe the second and third numbers are for weapon skills such as Square Off which requires you to press either light attack or heavy attack after the weapon skill button

The number outside the brackets is the startup cost, and the numbers in the brackets tell you what a light followthrough costs, and then a heavy followthrough.

For example, the uchi costs 0 to start, which is sheathing it to prepare, then when you press light attack it subtracts the cost on the left of the brackets. But if you press heavy attack it plays a different animation and costs the amount on the right of the bracket.

I don't think anyone has made a hard breakdown on how poise is affected, just note that, as a rule of thumb, the slower a weapon's attack is the more poise damage it deals. It has nothing to do with damage numbers.

The longer you charge an attack for, the more charge damage it does, up to 1.5X damage.

2handing a weapon, provided you meet the stats to use it in the first place, multiplies damage by 1.5X

Weapon scaling if affected by scaling grade, the little letters next to a weapon's stat requirement, and there's a very complex mathmatic formula that goes into calculating it's bonus, so simply put, get a better letter grade, get better numbers.
