ACV General Discussion

[Niji]

Well, due to the extremely high attack power of a howitzer cannon it's very difficult to reduce any of its damage at all. It also shoots three shots at once. So if you were to aim it at a large boss you'd probably hit all three shots from a single cannon for 25,000 - 27,000 AP damage immediately. Then the three shots also have 3,000 explosive power each, so assuming your boss has high defenses he might only take about 1,500 damage from each explosion. This would total to about 4,500 minimum damage with a maximum of 9,000 explosive damage if he happens to be weak against CE damage. So a single howitzer cannon can do roughly 29,500 to about 36,000 AP damage in a single volley to enemy ACs and bosses if the entire volley hits.

Hitting an enemy AC with all three hits is basically impossible unless you ram the gun up their butt, but you can hit with the splash of three shots and a direct hit from one shot. As far as the massive MTs in this game go, I doubt they could dodge it if they tried. They'd likely eat 30,000 AP damage volleys every time. It is possible that some may even have extremely high resists against a specific type and extremely terrible resists against the other two types, in which case the howitzers could be useless against them.
