Average Damage
Start with the midpoint of minimum and maximum projectile damage. Use the ROTMG DPS Calculator to keep the steps visible.
ATK Scaling
A commonly documented model uses `0.5 + ATK ÷ 50`.
Defense
Defense is applied per projectile, with a minimum-damage floor in the common model.
Practical DPS
Multiply post-defense damage by projectiles that connect and effective attacks per second. Misses, spread, downtime and special mechanics can lower real DPS.
