Best infusion for avelyn?
Math wise it looks like mundane is the best 25+170 = 195. compared to raws 187. but I am not so sure considering the scaling with an element seems higher. right now I am working my way to 30 everything for my mundane build.[right now 30/30 in just int/fth]. I have enough stones to switch something else. just curious on what works the best right now.

Hmm, I'm working with 30/30 on those two stats only int/fth, but higher in others which makes mundane useless for me (but my build sounds much higher level now than you), still elements make me keep going back to mr. crazypants, where invaders love to plague me, bah... lol

Anyway, yeah elements are the way to go for me at least, but I'd test it out, one by one, as thankfully you can get stones from the bird gals if you mess up, it's just a bit frustratingly random...

Another thing, the infusion is never as good as the spells and powders, if you can find the item slots for them, you might do mundane and wipe those blades for massive damage. I'd have to see the full build and others might know more, I'm still finishing, just took a lot longer than most...

an elemental avelyn has no scaling at all, just the base damage.
I guess mundane + heavy bolts (against foes with high elemental defenses) or lightning + lightning bolts/dark + dark bolts (against hanus-monsters) works best. Decide yourself!

Best way to check just before infusion is to equip it and check your equipped dmg rating, if you didn't know already, I just checked on mine and yep Mundane is the best.

but it doesn't work for infusions (if the weapon does NOT have inherit elemental damage), because split damage has to go through multiple defenses. For physical damage comparison it's great however (normal, raw, mundane)

Really? I see all the elemental bonus right there, before I do the infusion, showing me all the total difference, but I don't see it on the first tab, it's the second equipped tab that shows the total...

well, you can compare the AR, but it's not worth it due to split damage - that's what I wanted to say
