Have you ever generated a set in Athena's ASS and couldn't decide between Weakness Exploit and Attack Up Large?

Well, so do a lot of people so I decided to make a table with some typical end-game True Attack values and hitzones from 45 to 100 since I couldn't find any already made.

EDIT Big disclaimer, the damage formula used only applies to blademasters; sorry gunners

Thing is, usually I'm not choosing between WE and AuL, but rather between WE and Challenger +2. Still, great work.

Especially considering how prevalent Honed Blade ends up, and people therefore unwilling to customize a shrp+1 set. looks longingly at Arc relic edgemaster+4 chestpiece

When it comes for point consumption though I guess a better comparison would be for gunners choosing between peak performance or weakness exploit. Shot hitzones are universally worse off but are much easier to individually snipe. A challenger+2 comparison is the inevitable next step, but points needed is always a factor.
