Medalum bugged?

[Amritadyne]

Been testing damage since I noticed my 12.4k Barrier Breaker was doing less damage than my 10.3k Medalum despite there being no damage boosting effects on it. Medalum does over double the damage it "should" do and is far and away the best weapon. All testing was done in Virtuose stance with both a normal attack and a stendhal and the results always came out the same, slightly over double the damage in favor of Medalum. Tested with and without damage boosting Pictos/ Lumina.
So then I test a third weapon, the Lithum, with attack power between Medalum and Barrier Breaker, its damage comes out the lowest.

So what's going on here?

Are all these weapons without any element? Or that you don’t attack burning enemy or don’t activate some other bonus?

either the lv 20 tooltip is written wrong or it`s bugged. Rn instead of burn dealing double damage in virtuose, you deal double damage instead, stacks with virtuose buff so it`s 4 times more damage. Unfortunately the best weapon in the game, not even close. Trivialize every fight in post game when you have damage uncapped

testing was done solo in the arena with the same setups between them. Stendhal is void damage so both weapons have even footing on that, as for their basic attacks they would be void vs physical. Either way the results were always identical. Medalum is punching far above its weight, hitting 99M vs BB's 49M, the Lithum hit for 44M. I'd extrapolate those to assume the Medalum *should* be hitting for 39M or 78M if there's a hidden double damage effect.

This is also my theory but strictly being "double damage" doesn't explain why i'm hitting approximately 20M harder than I should be

edit: it's could be a 2.5X multiplier if the Medalum is supposed to hit for 39,726,854 (actual damage was 99,317,137)

It also could be some kind of bug.
I had a bug on that asian girl where she couldn’t get any AP on kills. I was checking everything and couldn’t figure this out. It was making her bad against groups of enemies.

It was fixed by removing her from the team and putting her back.

I have noticed the same thing. Medalum is far and away her best weapon and it's not close. I just tested against Golgra and Lithum did 22 mil, while Medalum did 50 mil. It's insane and I thought I was crazy when I first was noticing it.
