railgu alteration

[fghjkl54 1,520]

i found in wiki that the destabilization round for railgun that it increase the max damage by 70% and min damage =1hp

i tested the alt in test server but i never dealed 1hp or killed in 1 hit even if no DD is used

is the wiki description wrong?

No, but receiving the max and min values stated is incredibly low (if not never recorded).

Here's why: this is likely a normal distribution of damages, so you basically have an infinitesimal chance of getting 1 damage or getting the maximum value as such numbers are pretty far away from the mean, meaning a high z-score and a very low chance of receiving those values. (Or a very high chance of receiving a value other than the max and min)

However, it is possible to get something that is fewer standard deviations away from the mean, given that the z-score is lower and that you have a higher chance of receiving a value around that range, such as something that can almost one-shot or a two-digit number. Hope you learned a thing or two about math and understand why this alteration works this way

Just because the wiki said that the maximum damage is 70% more than normal damage and minimum damage is 1, does not mean that every time you will hit 70% more than normal damage or 1 damage, since this is merely the range, not the only amounts it can hit. Basically, round desabilization makes the range much, much larger, making it a lot more dependent on luck, and if you're a lucky person you'll find that this alt works well .

That's up to you. Round destabilization increases the average damage, but also increases the damage range. You will do a lot of damage on some shots and very little damage on others.
