I think I understand what Frost is getting at.

Let's assume that the calculator is based on the Princess Wars or Circus CQ. And let's assume that at level 81 in the Circus CQ, you had enough hp to survive 4 hits normally, by a very small margin.

If Zynga were to increase the damage dealt by the CQ monster, and its defense, you might be 3-hit at a level where you were previously 4-hit. If the calculator were based on the damage and defense of the monster in the previous CQ, then it would underestimate your SW usage by a significant amount (could be as much as 1 SW for each level past 80).

Sure, the calculator might be close enough, and a good reference, but just going by that isn't a good idea, I think is what Frost is getting at. It's good to also monitor the damage you deal, and the damage dealt to you at each level, and also the damage dealt by each subsequent level monster, and predict the SW you might need to reach your goal, rather than going just by what the calculator says plus or minus a few items.
