About Ap on lions

[PRODlGY]

Does AP adds damage or something to a lion????

[thexkiller01]

no its useless.
never put ap to ur lion.
only if it grows on its own.
never add ap.

[riyokku]

thexkiller01 said it pretty much. AP will only affect normal melee damage (which is quite useless to a lion since it generally grows slowly on a lion unless you're a 4141), and lions never get AP-based skills anyways (that's for power types). Lions should be putting points into AC (gun damage), LK (lucky strike damage for inventors, and landmine for hybrid 3rd job), and/or DA (stone strike & shuriken throw damage, as well as landmine in hybrid 3rd job)

...looking at what your signature I should be assuming that you should already know this Prodigy. <_<

AP is useless.

AC to increase your gun damage.

[CujoEX]

AP = 0 damage
Total AP (on Gun) = 1 damage
AC = 20 damage

[thexkiller01]

AP = useless
Total AP (on Gun) = 1 damage
AC = 20 damage
LK- gun accuracy

fixed

[riyokku]

LK is landmine/pistol-whip damage you know...=P

[Shadowmage29]

Landmine's formula also consists of DA. AP only adds to normal attacks, not guns.

I learned that AP was for melee attacks the hard way >_>

[PRODlGY]

ok I just wanted to know because many people refines their guns XD. Thanks everyone for the info

[Zombieee]

When you refine your gun you get GUN AP, not regular AP. And it adds +1 damage for every GUN AP added.

I didn't mention Gun Accuracy because it wasn't his question.

By the way, LK isn't the only gun accuracy. Both AC and LK plays a role for the accuracy, but mostly LK. For proof that AC lowers Gun Accuracy (and Gun Damage), let a Power Type cast Shockvibe (AC - debuff) on any AC Lion and you'll notice the Lion will miss almost half the time.

When you refine the gun, it increases Total AP. Again, Total AP = 1 damage.

[Anchors]

LK is also a factor in gun skill crit rate. 83

To clarify that "Total AP = 1 damage" statement, he means that each AP on a gun contributes 1 damage to your normal gunshot. This is why people refine their guns.
