[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7128143, member: 20564"] May I suggest a rating system? Most play seems to be in the earlier levels, and some combinations only come together late so aren't as generally strong. I suggest we have a decreasing multiplier per level, sum them all (and round at the end). Say we picked 25 - it would be 25 * avg level 1 damage + 24 * lvl 2 + ... + 6 * avg lvl 20 damage. Now, damage does increase dramatically over the levels, so this actually probably favors the mid levels more. Just plucking some numbers from Yunru's first entry (as it is on June 1, 2017), first level would add (25 * 10.35 = ) 258.75, eighth level adds ( 18 * 27.9895 = ) 503.811, fifteenth adds ( 11 * 50.9216 = ) 560.1376 - not that much more, while 20 gives ( 6 * 67.8537 = ) 407.1222. I'm too lazy to total up all of them, that's what spreadsheets are for. I just did those few to show the curve to expect as a proof of concept. This is (26-lvl), I could easily see an argument for another base. Heck, I might argue a point or two less but then I don't get a lot of high level play. [/QUOTE]
