Affinity

[Otonashi]

Affinity to Main Stat Graph, with a Polynomial Trendline of Order 3 and Extrapolated. Likely to be an overestimate. Maximum Affinity is 3000.

Thanks to SupremeTentacle, Ryxa, Sliferx and Tigerruss for the values so far.

This is... base atk without modifiers? Assuming affinity is the same across all stat/weapon types.

Affinity is the same across all weapons excluding the Pow bonuses. Yes, it's base attack without modifiers effectively.

This is really good data. Do we know anything about affinity boosting magatamas, especially their affinity-to-cost ratio?

[Otonashi]

I'm not sure what you're referring to? If you mean affinity to chakra ratio, we have the incomplete EN wiki page or the less incomplete with potentially PS4 exclusive Magatama JP wiki page.

Since Affinity is capped at 3k I wouldn't suggest that you use Affinity% Magatama at higher levels, since you can reach ~140 of your main stat with some additional stats from your weapon and title, or certain Magatama, and Affinity% only affects part of the attack used to calculate damage, while both Skill Force% and Element affect damage as a whole, e.g. 35% Skill Force increases damage dealt by skills by 35% whereas 35% Affinity only affects Affinity, and does not increase the damage provided by weapons.

Namely being able to squeeze out enough affinity to reach max on two weapons (of a different stat).

[Otonashi]

You could definitely do that, but you would have to commit at least one Magatama for each weapon and probably have to reach close to base 100 of each of those stats. Alternatively there are 2 titles that give 60% Affinity to all Pow weapons and Spear.

Good to hear. What's the opportunity cost on titles look like? (Aka, what do titles usually add to a single-weapon build?)

Well I'm going for a 8 critical title personally, and in terms of raw Affinity 60% is as much as you can get. Basically you're losing out on some elemental damage, critical, ryou / drop rates, and some stats. It's not that much.

Pfft, I'd gladly give up a little bit for the ability to wield multiple weapons. Thanks, that helps a lot.
