User blog:PantherRH/Divina Observations

I decided to calculate some data on my own regarding the efficiency ratio (ER) of each card’s attack and defense, based on their maximum stats for each. There was no real reason to do this, but I figured it might come in handy after the recent Hina-matsuri event showed how important it might be for such things. You could therefore check if a certain lower 1* card was better than another in terms of efficiency and save on your ATK spirit, for example, or if a 4* card was better than another.

This is, of course, based on their maximum stats and does not include their skills. Skills, when brought into the picture, obviously change many things. But if you have two similar cards, and are thinking of which to use, sometimes, the ER does come in handy. Then again, it might not, according to how you play. I guess this works best for people who pay from time to time or get rare cards only occasionally, and want to know what best to field.

For the base ratio I used 1:300 (Spirit : ATK/DEF). This was an arbitrary number based upon Kaede’s stats, and seemed like a reasonable base to start with. So for example, an ideal ER of 1.0 for a required spirit of 30 would be 9000. Going too high or too low for the base value will skew the statistics to one side when it comes to higher level cards. You might find this base too low or too high though, but that is entirely up to you. What matters is that this was the base used for the calculations of ER for almost all Divina cards. I left out quite a few, but most were taken into account.

The exact statistics will not be reproduced here in order not to bore you. I presume you are able to do calculations for yourself easily by using that base I gave. Here are the observations I made based on these values alone.
 * The most efficient ATK card is Sanada Yukimura (Ultimate), with an ER of 1.62. Nyarlathotep (Calm) came in second with 1.47, and Nyx (Ultimate) came in third with 1.37.
 * The DEF card with the best ER is the Goddess of Good Fortuneat 1.35. The next was Marsha at 1.28, while Nezha and Tsathoggua tied for third at 1.26.
 * 2 of the Meal Sisters, Brekkie and Dinnie, came in last with 0.33 on DEF and ATK respectively in those categories.
 * The card with the worst overall ER is Navvy, with 0.69 ATK and 0.50 DEF respectively.

These are mere observations based on ER alone and thus cannot possibly reflect the depth of the game when other factors, such as skills and their level, as well as skill trigger rate, are considered. However, I hope I have given you more to think about when it comes to close choices, and perhaps a way of finding out just what cards to keep and what cards to throw when you reach that small limit of 100 cards, at least with regards to Divina daemons anyway.

The same formula may be applied to the other two card types, but you may wish to use their base 1* cards instead, such as Wind Weasel for Phantom and Kotetsu for Anima. You may also use the arbitrary number I assigned. Whichever you use, just ensure that you use the same base number for all calculations in order to ensure that the results are accurately reflected relative to one another.

Cheers.
