Capping STR

[Jessikah]

how do you figure out the cap str on a weapon?

[VZX]

STR cap is based on weapon rank AND mob VIT

Lower and Upper caps
fSTR and fSTR2 hit:

* Lower cap value at ?STR = -(7 + Weapon Rank x2) x2
* Upper cap value at ?STR = (14 + Weapon Rank x2) x2

[Bagel]

weapon rank = weapon damage /9 unless h2h as I recall.

And for KS30 latent weapons (and I guess Perdu/Blau?) the dmg rating used is the lower, preunlocked version correct?

[Raen Ryong]

The DMG you use to calculate weapon rank from...

In the case of the KS30 latent weapons, when unlocked, it is the NEW DMG you count.

In the case of "Perdu" weapons like Blau Dolch, Perdu Sickle, etc, you use the DMG when the TP > 100%.

[Max™]

I could have sworn KS30 weapons start from the locked Dmg rating when calculating fStr cap.

[Raen Ryong]

However, weapons that have their base damage permanently changed by a latent effect, such as Dissector, will always have a weapon rank based on the latent effect base damage, even before the latent effect becomes active.

Quoted from the other wiki; I made an error in so much that regardless of whether the latent is broken, the weapon rank is the latent damage/9; you do not necessarily have to break the latent for this to be the case.
