Haru's Burn Lv2 better than Lv3? Oo

Ok, so basically the Idea of the upgrade is that you deal less damage on the initial strikes, but more in total due to burn...However, Lv3 subtracts more than it adds.

Numbers: Slash 'n' Dash Total Lv5:

146% Damage per hit
110% SAB per hit

Lv2 Burn:

- 13% Damage per hit
- 10% SAB per hit

+ 50% Damage * 3 Sec = 150%
+ 38% SAB * 3Sec = 104%

Lv3 Burn:

- 49% Damage per hit
- 37% SAB per hit

+ 62% Damage * 3 Sec = 186%
+ 47% SAB * 3 Sec = 141%



I mean...no matter how you spin it - it cut's the damage of the skill down by a LOT, but only adds a tiny bit of burn damage...am i missing something?

Hm if I'm reading this correctly.

Lets say we're doing 100 damage with our weapon.

The attack hits 1 time, so the damage of this attack is

100 - (100 * 0.13) = 87 damage

Burn lasts for 3 seconds and ticks every second at 50% damage.

100 * .5 * 3 = 150 burn damage

Total damage: 237




Now for level 3:

100 - (100 * 0.49) = 51

100 * .62 * 3 = 186

Total damage: 237


So your damage is roughly the same. It's just changed to burning damage.

But Slash 'n' Dash hits about 5 times tho...Unless EVERY slash leaves a burning area.

And even if it hits only once (or if every slash leaves a DoT), it would basically mean you just waste 2 Skillpoints on... what? Burn Damage isn't even preferable afaik, since quicker bosses just charge out of it.

according to this skill builder (https://swskillsim.leayal.tk/), the damage is supposed to go up and not down. However the builder is for a different version of the game than ours.

if this is not a bug (- signs supposed to be + sign) we might as well just dont upgrade to lvl 3

edit: link got cencored so it doesnt work

the burn damage is only good when the enemy stays on top of it. If they walk off then it becomes wasted damage.
the issue in this thread is that the upgrade from 2 -> 3 does not benifit the skill at all and is a waste of 2 skill points. BUT in this case the total damage does not change. In general its better to do more burst damage from the initial hit than let the sustained burn damage do its job.

upgrade and see if it says -49% after and let me know ;)

LuLz, top kek bruh.

I have seriously no idea who thought this was a good upgrade. Maybe initially the burn damage was a Health %, like with Arclight's Napalm?
