By the Numbers: Wave Serpents vs. Flyers by Mark H.

I love looking at stats! Check this out, sent to us by Mark H.

Hey Reecius,

I wrote a program to run 10,000 simulations of a Wave Serpent with Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon unloading on a flier.

The results were as follows (attached in a nice graph).  Feel free to share with the community.

—

0               38.0%                   13.5%

1               37.2%                   22.0%

2               17.3%                   29.3%

3               5.7%                    21.4%

4               1.6%                    10.6%

5               0.2%                    2.8%

6               0.5%

Basically, 35.9% of the time, a wave serpent will get 0 S7 hits, 38% of the time, it’ll get 1, etc…

Hope you find this useful.

Love the site, as always.

I just tried the new Wave Serpent, and I have to say, they are AMAZING! Granted, I rolled hot, but for the points I was thoroughly impressed. -ed
