when u discussed the strongest bow/arrow hit in the game im guessing youre not counting bows with x5 arrow per shot? like the lynel bow? im guessing its because you strictly want to analyze with each individual shot? because when i used the lynel bow x5 with max damage and guardian arrow on headshots it just melts bosses.
@@CloudWithoutASky Actually, the lynel bow combo with the ancient arrows is slightly weaker then the ancient bow one we went over in the video - as they receive extra ancient buffs that the multishot bows don't get (I think its only like a 20 damage difference though) Also, I already went over everything about multishot bows and elemental effects in a previous video, so I didn't want to repeat info here 😅
Great video, but what about shooting "archers" in the head to deal 10 times more damage, like you mentioned in the beginning, wouldn't that be the second most powerful bow attack? If my maths are correct, that would do 44 (ancient bow) * 1.5 (normal Attack up)*1.8 (ancient profficiency)*10 = 1188 damage, which is a bit more than the stalker shot (693) you calculated in the video.
@@fluffygalaxy6 Since the strongest enemy type that can spawn on an archery tower only has 120hp, you're not really "dealing" 1188 damage to them, you're only dealing 120, and the rest is overflow. This is why the ancient bow/arrow combo is still the strongest - but thats still an interesting way to put it!!
Imagine if the Royal Guard armour had a "Royal Proficiency" that boosted the damage of royal and royal guard weapons. It'd make wearing that armour actually viable
You can unlock Zelda as a playable character after beating Master Mode without dying! I only figured this out recently and I had to cheat a little to do it 😅
True!! I didn't figure that out until a good 5 hours into the game at least 😅 Edit: OG comment was mentioning how unused weapons sparkle on the inventory screen to represent full durability
You can also do a spin attack with a one handed weapon instantly by spinning the stick in a circle then attacking. This is really good since you can cancel the ending of an attack with the spin attack like a Ken/Ryu combo in Smash
I recently noticed 2 things: - the beam from a guardian skywatcher deals 10 damage to another guardian skywatcher (hit in its body). - the beam from a guardian turret kills a malice eye. Would you be interested in testing interactions between guardian beams and other actors?
These hidden mechanic videos didn't make me want to "game the system" any harder to make the game easier but they do give me a deeper appreciation for the labor the devs put into building one of the most effective and fun combat systems I've ever experienced. The hidden xp and elemental attributes and bonus stacking and caveats for specific weapons against certain situations really come out to the perfect formula without ever needing to reveal any of it's complexities through numbers.
seriously. if all these things (along with cooking mechanics) were explicitly shown to me, i would have not enjoyed the game at all. seeing pages of my inventory with rows and rows of numbers attached to them just makes my eyes glaze over in games. it's amazing how they were able to pull off communicating simplicity while having a complex system built underneath that actually works intuitively to the player. no, an average player would never be able to max out damage numbers without doing a bit of homework and testing, but getting decently OP is quite possible just by following the guidance the game gives you with limited information.
"Royal Guard Claymores are hard to get and break easily" After transfering durability and duplicating those for so long, I forgot they were rare. They're just the standard at this point.
@@nemohimself2580 that's weird. It's easy to mess up, you sure you got the steps down? Honestly there's no way it was patched and it definitely still works

A couple things to note for damage: • The giant horse is the only one that can deal 60 damage when trampling enemies instead of 30. • Attack up DOES increase the damage output of Lynel Shields by its respective multiplier.
The giant horse actually still deals 30 - but due to its big hitbox, it tends to hit enemy's 2 times right away instead of one And yes I totally forgot to mention that with the lynel shields - it's the only exception out of all the other damage dealing methods 😅
I know this won't probably ever happen, but I'd love to see Nintendo making a patch where they just add a BUNCH of all of this info to the game. Like, showing all of those hidden stats, not just of weapons and armor and such, but also for enemies, and whatnot. Maybe even add a Compendium for monsters, where it shows what they're weak to, what their HP is and when, what damage they deal, etc. Either that, or if someone made an actual mod that displays all of this information, that would be cool as well. If there's one thing I love about some games, that's when they display all of their info, and what every stat means, and how does it work.

Thanks for taking the time to create fantastic video.

That happened to me a few hours ago. It was the one to the north of the desert labyrinth. All it did was increase my guardian parts tally, accelerating the time I received my ancient proficiency buff and giving me my third giant ancient core.
Great video! Although from my own research I see some mistakes (or rather contradictions to my results) in your assessments about the Ancient Arrows and I want to give additional information, which I believe to be correct. 1. The Ancient Arrow does not get a +30 damage bonus from hitting a Guardian Scout. Instead it has a fixed 20 damage addition for all non-Guardian enemies, that don't get one-shot, (i.e. overworld bosses). However because this bonus is tied to the Ancient Arrow, it receives the 50% Ancient Weapon Bonus, when hitting Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses, which results in an apparent 30 damage bonus. 2. When not used on Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses, the Ancient Arrow will not receive a 50% bonus damage. It can however, as you have mentioned, get the 80% Ancient Proficiency Bonus even without the Ancient Bow. This bonus is also always applied to the aforementioned 20 additional damage. 3. Hitting a frozen Guardian with the setup provided in the video may not be intentionally nerfed, as it may simply be an artifact of the game's logic for frozen entities. When hitting a frozen Guardian Scout, the 50% Ancient Weapon (and 30% Guardian Weapon) bonus is negated, and, as you mentioned before, a frozen Critical Hit also negates the x2 Headshot bonus. This results in the loss of a x2 and x1.5 bonus, but also the gain of a x3 bonus, meaning there is no change in the outcome. Although an exception to this can be seen below. 4. When using an Ancient Bow in conjunction with an Ancient Arrow on Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses, *both* weapons will separately apply a 50% boost to the given bow damage (including the 20 additional damage from the Ancient Arrow), which results in a total x2.25 damage bonus, when hitting Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses. If you combine rules 3. and 4. in an applicable scenario, you can see, that from hitting a frozen Guardian Scout a x3 damage boost will be gained, but a (1.5*1.5*2)=4.5 damage boost is lost, which results in the apparent nerf. Regardless, your work is awesome!
I don’t think either does direct damage, but I am curious how damage is calculated for using magnesis to throw objects at the enemy. Flying/Falling projectile damage in general would be a great video.
Magnesised giant metal boxes can one shot moblins, bokoblins or lizalfoses. It’s just nerfed with gardians or lynels (500 damage for lynels and idk for gardians)

Random weird master sword functionality It starts to sparkle after it’s power is restored, no matter how much you used it. It’s like picking up a brand new master sword
Okay, I've been confused at where 1616 came from for the last example (14:14), because just going 75 * 1.8 (ancient proficiency) * 1.5 (attack up) * 8 (Sneakstrike) gets you to 1620 exactly. You *should* be able to one-shot a gold moblin. This is crap, Nintendo. I've deduced that rounding is happening at least once in the MIDDLE of calculations, after the attack up buff is applied and before the Sneakstrike multiplier. The Sneakstrike bonus must be getting applied after the attack up bonus because applying the x8 multiplier anywhere before the x1.5 always results in whole numbers, which means you would get 1620 instead, and properly kill the moblin in one hit. I can't totally tell what order stuff is getting applied in outside of that based off this single example, since there are technically a couple ways you could get to 1616. Further, the other examples in the video all start with an even base damage, meaning a 1.5 attack up multiplier won't give us a decimal but instead a whole number (and the 1.8 multiplier isn't used in the other two weapon examples) The only other decimal calculation is with the ancient bow against the guardian scout (8:44), and that appears to round down the "ancient weapon against guardian" 50% bonus from 193.5 to 193, which still doesn't totally help explain what's going on between ancient proficiency and attack up. Here are a couple ways it could be working, which could be narrowed down with more test data. Scenario 1: Ancient Proficiency -> Attack Up -> (rounded down) -> Sneakstrike Looks like this: 75 * 1.8 = 135 (no rounding since it's an exact whole number) 135 * 1.5 = 202.5, rounded down to 202. This, again, is assuming the product of the attack up multiplier is rounded down and not to the nearest whole number. 202 * 8 = 1616 Scenario 2: Attack Up -> (again, rounded down) -> Ancient Proficiency -> (rounded to nearest) -> Sneakstrike If this is how it works, they'd have to have different rounding methods for different bonuses (i.e., products of attack up always round down, while products of ancient proficiency are rounded to nearest). I don't friggin' know. It's weird. Anydangway, here's what that looks like: 75 * 1.5 = 112.5, round down to 112. 112 * 1.8 = 201.6, round to nearest, to 202. 202 * 8 = 1616 Either way, it bugs me a bit that they have rounding happening in the midst of multi-step calculations rather than just doing it at the end. If anyone has further insight as to the order these multipliers are applied, and when/what type of rounding is happening, that'd be cool to know as well! The reason I even care about this level of detail is because I'm learning JavaScript/React and trying to build a sample app that does all these calculations when you just plug in some information about your equipment and buffs - and I noticed my calculations were off from the test results here in the video.
So all the potential damage buffs stack manipulatively? Thats real interesting. Also real interesting that different enemy types receive different damage from Urbosa's Fury. Your videos are quite enjoyable to watch.
As someone who does theorizing and buildcrafting myself it's kinda amazing to have damage boosts stack multiplicatively. Most games just add multipliers, which is why the unholy trinity of raw damage, critical chance and critical damage of basically every game which uses like actual stats for calculation is a thing, because crit multiplies your total raw damage multiplicative to other multipliers (in addition to crit usually being an extremely high damage multiplier to warrant investing into two stats (chance+crit damage)). The only problem with multiplicative bonus calculation is that your resulting stats are just wild, making designing a working enemy balance harder if you don't want stacking multipliers to become mandatory.
He had an attack buff potion which does the same thing (and don’t stack with each other). So he equipped the stealth boost to make sure he wasn’t spotted before getting in a sneak strike.
Correction: The max bow damage is not 693 from mine experiment. Excluding one shot guardians(1500) and lynels(7500) the highest damage is achieved by using savage lynel bow(32 x 5) shooting ancient arrows in the eye of guardian scout with lv3 atack up. In this way the max damage of bow is 1044. Also, I have discovered that if you place a bomb in front of the scout. It will set it off by shooting lasers at it.(Which blowed link up which was not expected at all!
When ever I fight guardians or guardian scouts, I always use the ancient proficiency buff because of the damage output. But when it comes to fighting lynels I use attack up buff with multi-shot headshots (specifically 5-shot bows, or just the great eagle bow and any 3 - shot lynel bows with quick-shot or just a attack up multiplie) it makes killing them so much faster.
Actually, I've gotten a melee weapon that did 117 damage. A savage lynel crusher from the gerudo highlands. I've never gotten one that did that much damage ever again, but man did it make combat a breeze.
Cro you can stack the sneak strike multiplier if you do a flurry rush glitch called pdr right after a sneak strike you can get a 14 times multiplier. This is also proven by a daruk glitch expert named chc yuda in his daruks rush video

Can not imagine how much time this took to research and compile, but it was a really great video!!! Learned a lot about combat.
It did take quite a while, but the end result was worth it!! I'm glad you enjoyed, thank you!! 😊
I can’t wait to destroy my enemies with this power of knowledge!
Future Hyrule item … the attack calculator! Entire math courses could be taught using BOTW. Idea for the next video (if it has already been done, ignore), figuring out which is better: using bananas to increase attack or razorshrooms? Using armoranth or ironshroom to increase defense? etc. Basically, which items when cooked do better than others when creating healing, effect altering, or stamina increasing meals/potions. Thanks for taking the time to create fantastic video.
That'll be a good topic to cover!! There's already some good info on the cooking system online, but making a video on it to help clear it up wouldn't be a bad idea!!
Yes a cooking video to enlighten the world of the creation of elixirs.

1:39 Blood moon after killing a guardian oof
That happened to me a few hours ago. It was the one to the north of the desert labyrinth.
All it did was increase my guardian parts tally, accelerating the time I received my ancient proficiency buff and giving me my third giant ancient core.
My inner Warframe player appreciates multiplicative damage.
I thought there was a reason the Ancient Battle Axe ++ was my favourite weapon, it’s just so OP, and it looks pretty cool as well.
5:35 That's gonna hurt..
Ouch!
yikes
Great video! Although from my own research I see some mistakes (or rather contradictions to my results) in your assessments about the Ancient Arrows and I want to give additional information, which I believe to be correct.
1. The Ancient Arrow does not get a +30 damage bonus from hitting a Guardian Scout. Instead it has a fixed 20 damage addition for all non-Guardian enemies, that don't get one-shot,
(i.e. overworld bosses). However because this bonus is tied to the Ancient Arrow, it receives the 50% Ancient Weapon Bonus, when hitting Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses,
which results in an apparent 30 damage bonus.
2. When not used on Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses, the Ancient Arrow will not receive a 50% bonus damage. It can however, as you have mentioned, get the 80%
Ancient Proficiency Bonus even without the Ancient Bow. This bonus is also always applied to the aforementioned 20 additional damage.
3. Hitting a frozen Guardian with the setup provided in the video may not be intentionally nerfed, as it may simply be an artifact of the game's logic for frozen entities. When hitting a
frozen Guardian Scout, the 50% Ancient Weapon (and 30% Guardian Weapon) bonus is negated, and, as you mentioned before, a frozen Critical Hit also negates the x2 Headshot
bonus. This results in the loss of a x2 and x1.5 bonus, but also the gain of a x3 bonus, meaning there is no change in the outcome. Although an exception to this can be seen below.
4. When using an Ancient Bow in conjunction with an Ancient Arrow on Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses, *both* weapons will separately apply a 50% boost to the given bow damage
(including the 20 additional damage from the Ancient Arrow), which results in a total x2.25 damage bonus, when hitting Guardian Scouts and Blight Bosses.
If you combine rules 3. and 4. in an applicable scenario, you can see, that from hitting a frozen Guardian Scout a x3 damage boost will be gained, but a (1.5*1.5*2)=4.5 damage boost is
lost, which results in the apparent nerf.
Regardless, your work is awesome!
??? im confused.
I didn't ev3n know that the archery tower part existed. I thought it was a mistake.
what? archery tower?
Keep up the great work Croton!
This was my favorite stats video yet!
Thank you Gavio!! :D
“The *savage* dealing *21* ” that’s funny
I'm wondering, how much damage could stasis or magnesis could do and if it could go higher than the other damage outputs.
I don’t think either does direct damage, but I am curious how damage is calculated for using magnesis to throw objects at the enemy.
Flying/Falling projectile damage in general would be a great video.
Magnesised giant metal boxes can one shot moblins, bokoblins or lizalfoses. It’s just nerfed with gardians or lynels (500 damage for lynels and idk for gardians)
Another great and useful stats video, great work man!
Thank you!! :)
I always find this entertaining and educational

I'm glad this information is helping you out!! Thank you :)
Tip: you can use the weapon durability transfer glitch if you think the Royal Guard Weapons are weak. Using the glitch will make it really overpowered
Thx that’s real helpful
11:51 Awww shit my boy is playing on Cemu
This visual glitch you see here is an issue with Nvidia GPU's when used in emulating BOTW, meaning that this footage was taken from a PC, not a switch or Wii U
(Yes, emulating BOTW is possible, and has been for years.)
Great catch! This is actually my first time recording footage for a video using cemu, so I'm glad I got it running smoothly for the most part 😅
@@Croton You likely already fixed it but in case you haven't, it can be fixed by enabling the NVIDIA: Explosion Smoke graphics pack in Graphics Packs.
I didn't actually know that, so thanks for telling me!! 😄
I cant see the glitch, could you wlaborate for us please?
@@CarlosMendez-tn5zi haha yeah its been a hot minute since I posted this but its the how the explosions aren't correctly facing the player, making them rotate randomly.
Actually gladly gaming already made a video about it atleast 3 years ago but he only cover maximum melee damage possible. Your video is also fantastic.
12:38 Note, the giant horse does more damage than the other horses.
Yep because it hits the ennemies two times
This was way more information than I ever figured I'd know. Good to know how the buffs and such stack though. I've been kinda winging it trying not to see spoilers as I played and figure it out. Still need to murder Ganon though, but I'm running around stat padding my kit so I can be ready for him.
This is really nice to know.
It is sad how some attacks are so utterly weak.
Now we know at least why lynes don't use their shilds. The output is just too low.
Technically this video could have been 30 seconds long if he just said: one hit obiterator, then the outro plays
imagine showing this to an early NES player and watching his mind explode
Do NES players think Guardians are Octoroks? Guardians were actually inspired by the Octoroks in the original LoZ.
@@porkypy I don't know much about Zelda, so I would say... Yes? (I hope that was the right answer!)

Isnt the drillshaft the most op weapon?
Yes, but I'm not going to waste sacred drillshaft durability to make this video 👀😂
Wait why is it good
@@carlagordon31 That's just an inside joke from his streams.

It can one-shot the ore deposits, deals massive damage to Taluses, and can even break the bombable rocks around Hyrule. Clearly the best weapon.
Less op than bread though
Lovely video as always!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!! 😄
Amazing vid! But one of the most amazing things is seeing the enemy's HP without wearing the Champion's Tunic, how do you do that?
The Divine Beasts helmets allow you to do that!! Only thing that sucks about them is that they are locked behind amiibo :(
@@Croton Oh I see, that's super cool to know, thanks!!

Cro you can stack the sneak strike multiplier if you do a flurry rush glitch called pdr right after a sneak strike you can get a 14 times multiplier
This was proven by a Taiwanese player named chc yuda a daruk glitch expert

Okay, I've been confused at where 1616 came from for the last example (14:14), because just going 75 * 1.8 (ancient proficiency) * 1.5 (attack up) * 8 (Sneakstrike) gets you to 1620 exactly. You *should* be able to one-shot a gold moblin. This is crap, Nintendo.
I've deduced that rounding is happening at least once in the MIDDLE of calculations, after the attack up buff is applied and before the Sneakstrike multiplier. The Sneakstrike bonus must be getting applied after the attack up bonus because applying the x8 multiplier anywhere before the x1.5 always results in whole numbers, which means you would get 1620 instead, and properly kill the moblin in one hit.
I can't totally tell what order stuff is getting applied in outside of that based off this single example, since there are technically a couple ways you could get to 1616. Further, the other examples in the video all start with an even base damage, meaning a 1.5 attack up multiplier won't give us a decimal but instead a whole number (and the 1.8 multiplier isn't used in the other two weapon examples) The only other decimal calculation is with the ancient bow against the guardian scout (8:44), and that appears to round down the "ancient weapon against guardian" 50% bonus from 193.5 to 193, which still doesn't totally help explain what's going on between ancient proficiency and attack up.
Here are a couple ways it could be working, which could be narrowed down with more test data.
Scenario 1: Ancient Proficiency -> Attack Up -> (rounded down) -> Sneakstrike
Looks like this:
75 * 1.8 = 135 (no rounding since it's an exact whole number)
135 * 1.5 = 202.5, rounded down to 202. This, again, is assuming the product of the attack up multiplier is rounded down and not to the nearest whole number.
202 * 8 = 1616
Scenario 2: Attack Up -> (again, rounded down) -> Ancient Proficiency -> (rounded to nearest) -> Sneakstrike
If this is how it works, they'd have to have different rounding methods for different bonuses (i.e., products of attack up always round down, while products of ancient proficiency are rounded to nearest). I don't friggin' know. It's weird. Anydangway, here's what that looks like:
75 * 1.5 = 112.5, round down to 112.
112 * 1.8 = 201.6, round to nearest, to 202.
202 * 8 = 1616
Either way, it bugs me a bit that they have rounding happening in the midst of multi-step calculations rather than just doing it at the end. If anyone has further insight as to the order these multipliers are applied, and when/what type of rounding is happening, that'd be cool to know as well!
The reason I even care about this level of detail is because I'm learning JavaScript/React and trying to build a sample app that does all these calculations when you just plug in some information about your equipment and buffs - and I noticed my calculations were off from the test results here in the video.
So all the potential damage buffs stack manipulatively? Thats real interesting. Also real interesting that different enemy types receive different damage from Urbosa's Fury.
Your videos are quite enjoyable to watch.
10:27
*_booty slapped._*
As someone who does theorizing and buildcrafting myself it's kinda amazing to have damage boosts stack multiplicatively.
Most games just add multipliers, which is why the unholy trinity of raw damage, critical chance and critical damage of basically every game which uses like actual stats for calculation is a thing, because crit multiplies your total raw damage multiplicative to other multipliers (in addition to crit usually being an extremely high damage multiplier to warrant investing into two stats (chance+crit damage)).
The only problem with multiplicative bonus calculation is that your resulting stats are just wild, making designing a working enemy balance harder if you don't want stacking multipliers to become mandatory.

Brilliant video btw

Why not you use barbarian armor on savage lynel crusher. Is it not boost stealth kill.
He had an attack buff potion which does the same thing (and don’t stack with each other). So he equipped the stealth boost to make sure he wasn’t spotted before getting in a sneak strike.
@@dracoerrarus4834 yes you are right. I forget that attack boost by food doesn't add up with boost provided by armors.
First (nobody can tell me otherwise)
A little late there buddy xD (btw i think youll appreciate all of the TP music i used in this video 😉)
hi HG and Croton! love your theories!!!You both are great theorists!!!
@@-aestheticfox-3335 Thank you!! 🙏
Oh boy! Someone has told you otherwise!
Otherwise.
At one point, you say that headshots to archer tower enemies do 10x damage, which would definitely make the max ranged damage much more than 693.
Well if you headshot an animal the damage is increased like 10000x
Fund fact: if you tupe fun fact people will read your entire comment,I want my likes
I love this channel I learn so much from just one video and I've been playing since it came out
Keep it up croton
Correction: The max bow damage is not 693 from mine experiment. Excluding one shot guardians(1500) and lynels(7500) the highest damage is achieved by using savage lynel bow(32 x 5) shooting ancient arrows in the eye of guardian scout with lv3 atack up. In this way the max damage of bow is 1044. Also, I have discovered that if you place a bomb in front of the scout. It will set it off by shooting lasers at it.(Which blowed link up which was not expected at all!
When ever I fight guardians or guardian scouts, I always use the ancient proficiency buff because of the damage output. But when it comes to fighting lynels I use attack up buff with multi-shot headshots (specifically 5-shot bows, or just the great eagle bow and any 3 - shot lynel bows with quick-shot or just a attack up multiplie) it makes killing them so much faster.
Actually, I've gotten a melee weapon that did 117 damage.
A savage lynel crusher from the gerudo highlands. I've never gotten one that did that much damage ever again, but man did it make combat a breeze.
Same
No you did not. Savage Lynel Crusher has a max attack of 108, this is a known fact, clear as day in the game's code.
@@Riku70X The one I got had a buff.
@@alexnixon1606 The highest damage it gets with buffs is 108.
Cro you can stack the sneak strike multiplier if you do a flurry rush glitch called pdr right after a sneak strike you can get a 14 times multiplier. This is also proven by a daruk glitch expert named chc yuda in his daruks rush video
Thats really interesting, ill have to try it out sometime!! (It wasnt in the video because i dont cover glitches/exploits in these vids 😅)
