Final Fantasy 6

[Dhyerwolf]

Notes:
1. Level
Taken at L43. This is when either Terra or Celes learn their L3 and is around the level I finished (Ran through all optional dungeons). Any spells learned above L43 are not allowed.

2. Algorithms Taken From
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/554041-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/13573

3. Enemy Stats
Defense- 115
Magic Defense- 145 (Note: In the original topic, defense and Mdef are closer. This means that the magic damages were slightly higher and the physical damages were slightly lower)
Magic Evade- Basically doesn’t exist. As such, it could be debated whether high accuracy has any meaning (in game, less than 5% of randoms have any evade at all). While I would count ITD, there’s an argument against ITE.

4. Changes in Equips
>>No Snow Muffler for Mog/Gau and no Behemoth Suit for Relm/Strago. You get 1 Behemoth Suit and there are really 4 people who want some part of it. Relm/Strago don’t care much (they fall back to Nutkin Suit), but Snow Muffler is super important to Mog/Gau and there doesn’t feel like there is enough to around in the DL. Not to mention, the fight to actually get the Snow Muffler is super nasty with very solid ITE damage.
>>I allowed a fake Flame Shield (basically allowing the stats, but not the Fire resistance). In game, you can find 7 shields that statistically are strictly better than Flame Shields (1 Genji, 2 Aegis, 2 Thunder, 2 Ice) + the 2 Flame Shields + 2 Force Shields (which have no defense, but 50% MBlock). Realistically, you have enough shields to go around that there’s no reason to be using a Mithril Shield.
>>Default equipment focused on defenses rather than MEvade. Taking a solid hit seemed like the better DL default since you often have to equip non-DL equips to really have meaningful MEvade.

5. Notes on MBlock and Evasion
MBlock is effectively out of 128% (So even if MBlock is taken as it’s raw value, it’s only effectively 78% of the listed number). For calculating the relative/raw evasion, I used an attack accuracy of 110% (which is a little lower than the average in the final dungeon, which is around 115-120%, but there are good nasty attacks with lower hit). In reality, damage attacks tend to be more accurate than status attacks to the point where I could see the argument for having two different scaling but I stuck with 1.

6. Storebought Status Blockers
There are storebought blockers for:
Transform/Silence
Poison/Blind/Zombie
Berserk/Confuse
Petrify

7. Speed
I would estimate that during normal randoms, characters during turn 1 are equal to true speed (speed +20). While they start with ATB bars partially filled, this is approximately proportionate to their true speed on average. However, there is also a bit of lag associated with player input; because of this I’m truncating the effect in by 25%

Hopefully, speed is close to pointless after turn 1. Fast characters using a basic physical might have a chance of doubling a slower character if the fast character after the slow character. It does heavily depend on the moves chosen due to differences in animation (unlike FF 7, animations in FF 6 can be quick enough that doubles can exist though). I’m taking the effect of speed and dividing by 10.

8. Status Hit Rates
I’ve listed adjusted status hit rates in <>. First number is the status hit rate factoring in just enemy susceptibility to the status. Second number factors in adjustments for base hit rate, transparency, damage…etc.

Most status is 99%-100% at base (minus Piggy, Stone and Odin). Physical status is basically 100% in effect (should be able to miss theoretically as it can with fewer hits in the early game, it really doesn’t). Arrow status is an exception and didn’t come up to be very useful (different formula I guess)

Abilities:
Umaro's choice of moves is random. Note that he uses these moves even when Imped, so these are all considered basic physicals to a degree.
NOTE: I am prorating Umaro’s damage 20%. This is because he’s using his accessory slot to boost his damage; this is realistically something everyone else can do in game with storeboughts for most of the game.

Fight: 1517, physical, 37.3% 24.7% chance
Tackle: 3034 ITD Physical Damage, unblockable, 62.7% Chance
Average Damage: 2469

If Umaro Chooses to Equip Blizzard Orb, Fight’s chance falls to 24.7%, Tackle’s chance falls to 50.2% and Umaro gains
Storm: 1944 MT Ice Psuedo-Magical Damage , unblockable, 25.1% chance
Average Damage: 2386

If Umaro is in a team match, damage increases as half of Tackle’s activation rate becomes Character Throw

Notes on Bosses
1. Quantifying Speed is tricky because so much depends on animation time. The longer animation time the boss (or your PCs rack up), the more speed is going to get truncated. Some PC spells/moves with long animations include Ultima, Flare (really, really bad), Offering Fixed Dice, MT Cure 3, Life 3. Throw and L3s (although maybe not Ice3) are pretty quick. I would say that speed after turn 1 is realistically capped at 115%. With animations its very hard to get past the actor who went before you and you’ll never get past more than 1 (so a limit of 125%).

PC Stats for Bosses
(Celes/Umaro/Relm/Strago/Edgar/Mog/Shadow/Locke/Terra/Gogo/Setzer/Gau)
Average Def: 180/217/185/192/206/136/204/144/190/140/200/170 (Average: 180.3)
>>I didn’t count Snow Muffler, but that obviously would net big gains

Magic Power: 76/42/62/43/68/54/53/34/73/26/38/36
Estimated Damage: 9999/3100/6372/7278/9999/5586/5475/3625/9999/4908/10984/3822
>>2 Characters have Ultima (Celes/Edgar). Shadow and Gogo are using Throw Falchion. Setzer is used Fixed Dice and Offering. Umaro is being Umaro. Strago is using Train. Everyone else is using an L3 and generally running 2 Earrings (for a 50% damage incrase). I am not including the Gem Box (figure you are likely to miss something)

Equipment Switching Between Parties would net
>>Genji Shield would increase MBlock by 2.5, 1.5 Defense, 3 MDef
>>Aegis Shield would increase MBlock by 2.5, 0.5 Defense, 4 Mdef
>>Force Armor would increase MBlock by 2.5, 1 Mdef, Decrease Defense 0.75
Red Cap would increase HP (Would be .125% over base HP)

Leaving Final Stats
PC HP- 3094 (2720 Base)
Def: 181.6 (Cuts damage 71.4% compared to 0 Defense)
Mdef: 157.1 (Cuts damage by 61.8% compared to 0 Defense)
MBlock: 52 (62 for Kefka)
Average Damage: 6762 for Goddesses, 5000 for Kefka (assuming average of 8 best PCs, but that 1 of the first 3 turns against Kefka will be used for restoring low MP. This is also a factor of considering that Kefka is coming off the end of a legal formchain)
For Sanity sake, I’m using these stats for both Kefka and the Goddesses. Kefka likely faces a bit more MBlock (say 62 instead of 52; increased emphasis on Force Shields will compensate better defense from focusing on fewer PCs). Especially the first time through

KEFKA
62000 HP
Def- 117 (Cuts by 1.5%)
Mdef- 135 (Takes extra 9.1%)
Speed- Slow Turn 1 (Generally acts after 3 PCs depending on input time)
Effectively ~115% after Turn 1 (could be around 125% speed since the turns he skips would have more animation if he actually took them)
More like average speed when in the counter phase when counters are added in
Status Immune (although arguably susceptible to Charm & Freeze since no FF 6 enemy can stop these)
>>Also immune to a host of positive statuses

Bolt3- 1313 Lightning Magic Damage, 77% Hit Rate
Ice3- 1334 Ice Magic Damage, 77% Hit Rate
Goner- 2406 ITE (Unblockable) MT Magic Damage, 1 Turn Charge Time; Disables Counters, Below 52.6% HP
Revenger- Steals positive status, ITE (Unblockable), Below 52.6% HP
Meteor- 1031 ITD/ITE (Unblockable) MT Magic Damage, Below 12.4% HP
Hyper Drive- 3379 ITD/ITE (Unblockable) Magic Damage + Seizure, Counter Only
Ultima- 4295 ITD/ITE (Unblockable) MT Magic Damage, Counter Only

Below 52.6% HP Kefka gains the chance to double act 67% of the time (aka: when not using Goner). He has either 33% or 67% chance of doing nothing and the inverse of doing Havoc Wing.

Below 48.5% HP Kefka has a 67% chance of countering any damage (even chance of either attack or Hyperdrive

Are we still considering the MBlock bug canon even though there's 5 versions of FF6 and only the SNES one has the bug?

[Dark Holy Elf]

Pretty sure the SNES version easily has more players than the other 5 put together, so I would. If you feel differently, Meeple's stat topic has numbers on (post-SNES) evade in the third post.

Warring Triad ability notes

Doom
- Targeting is magical.  Significant in-game since it strips Vanish, which would allow the target to avoid Demon's Rage.
- Forgot to include the almighty Forcefield

Goddess
- Has auto-Shell, not auto-Safe.  Typo?
- Overcast is used on next turn after being attacked 8 times.  Always hits unless target has instant death protection.  Victims turns into zombies on death, whether from the death sentence or being knocked to 0 HP by direct damage. (or Exploder)

Poltergeist
- WaveCannon will be used on next turn after being attacked 8 times.  Has priority over all other moves.

Thanks. I did mix up Safe/Shell a bit (Mdur on Goddess was right, but was wrong on Poltrgeist)

Housekeeping Notes
1. Added rate on ManEater bonus in game
2. Changed Relm's default weapon since I'm harsher on Maneater bonus. Averages with it as the default are still maintained
3. Hit Umaro with a 20% damage penalty. This is to reflect that he's using an accessory to boost his damage, but in game everyone will basically have similar options that they don't get in the DL.

[Dark Holy Elf]

I definitely disagree with just taking an average of things the Man Eater hits. That misses the point, that it's a weapon which hits weakness on humans and human-like things. It should do more damage to Serge than it does to Poshul, etc. And I don't think the DL especially overrates it because it actually hits weakness on the key human enemies in-game you want it to, including final Kefka and all the remotely human-looking parts of the tiers.

I only just noticed how you handle evasion and I also disagree with that, too. I think if you're not just going to take 100 hit as the default, that you absolutely should split its effect. Every physical enemy in the entire final dungeon has 100 hit, save Kefka, so 100 hit is the only reasonable hit to use IMO. Damaging magic (and Berserk) is indeed more accurate, so I'd be fine with extending that to other games' damage magic, but that's it. Otherwise, you're basically punishing FF6's evade for... also working on magic, but not quite as well?

[Dhyerwolf]

So, I definitely don't expect others to agree with me on Man Eater (hence my keeping in the other numbers and averages). If I was going to go farther, I guess I could say that the average DL effect should average out to 27%, then estimate the proportion of duellers in would get the bonus against and create a weight so that non-humans got a 0 effect and a then humans took a higher effect (Like 34% if I estimated that 80% of the DL was susceptible)

At least for relative evade, it ends up not really mattering. Part of this is that relative evade actually considers a range of accuracy centered around 115% instead of just a flat 115% to account for the lower accuracy attacks. If relative evade was split up, it would make the evade look better against physicals but worse against magic (which makes it more niche, not to say that it would necessary be worse or better; but it isn't necessarily punishing it since it's making it better against certain moves).

Late to the party here, but you can in fact get infinite Behemoth Suits, because the boss who drops it will spawn on the Veldt.
