    Missing WS Page / How can I figure out stats for a WS?

    Just noticed that the unique / equipment-linked WS "Knights of Rotund" doesn't have a page. Always been curious about how it works exactly since as far as I can tell it's just a super nerfed version of "Knights of Round". It even has the same WS elements, which is a hilarious way to pop off Light with Shantotto II below lv10. XD

    If no one else has already tested it, how would I go about pinpointing all the various values involved?

    You sure it's not just exactly the same as Knights of Round?

    It is a joke WS so who knows.

    Given that the damage output is a tiny fraction of the real WS, it's not 100% identical. Even if sc elements are the same, there has to be some form of built-in penalty somewhere.. and since the description in-game is "BMI varies with TP" (lol) it's not 100% obvious where/what the penalty is. XD My guess is that it's similar to Requiescat with a decreasing attack penalty with higher TP, but no idea how to prove anything. :/

    It's definitely not the same. Using a str/mnd/wsd set, it's like half the damage of fast blade. Doesn't have the fusion property either.

    Some super basic testing:
    Doing SA KoRs on East Ronfaure mobs, with 12% WSDMG and 20% Crit damage.
    278 STR, 284 DEX, 255 VIT, 201 AGI, 183 INT, 170 MND, 175 CHR

    1000 TP: 943
    1000 TP w/ Fotia Belt + Gorget: 1114
    2000 TP: 1820
    3000 TP: 2769

    It seems likely that the fTP is completely linear, with 2000 TP being 200% of 1000 TP and 3000 TP being 300% of 1000 TP, and the fTP at 1000 is very close to 1.0. Assuming it's linear, based on the Fotia test, the fTP is around 0.87/1.74/2.61 for 1000/2000/3000 TP.

    Didn't feel like spending enough time to check if mods are the same or to get higher precision on the fTP values, though.
