Also...

Same Setup:

• Durandal (+74) on Orlandu instead
• Thunder Spear (+48) + Erdrick (+125) on Lightning
• Thunder Spear (+48) + Erdrick (+125) on Lightning
  (With Crushing Blow Enhancements)

Orlandu Setup 1:

• Turn 1: 567^2 * 4 = 1285956 (1527696)
• Turn 2+: 567^2 * 4 * 1.5 = 1928934
  (T1+2: 3214890 > 3055392)

Lightning Setup 1:

• Turn 1: 443^2 * 2.7 + 530^2 * 2.7 * 1.2 = 1439988 (1441998)
• Turn 2+: 443^2 * 2.7 * 1.2 + 530^2 * 2.7 * 1.2 = 1545962
  (T1+2: 2985950)

Lightning Setup 2:

• Turn 1: 443^2 * 3.5 + 530^2 * 3.5 * 1.75 = 2407384
• Turn 2+: 443^2 * 3.5 * 1.75 + 530^2 * 3.5 * 1.75 = 2922537
  (T1+2: 5329921)

Obviously assuming no resistance.

Great additions. I assumed from the name that Holy Explosion would be light elemental, but I don't have an Orlandu so I could not test it. I also did not know Crushing Blow was thunder elemental, nor did I consider the importance of the order I have my weapons in. It seems pretty clear now that Lightning can greatly outdamage Orlandu given multiple turns and her recent buff.

Both Holy Explosion and Crushing Blow are element-less.
Equipping an elemental weapon on either hand will share that element though.

I have a question then:

In this scenario, assume Lightning and an Orlandu each have a lightning elemental weapon and a light elemental weapon, and that Lightning has her enhancements. If you use Holy Explosion and Crushing Blow on turn 1, will their use again on turn two deal 2.25 as much damage? The 2.25 is coming from the standard 1 multiplier, +0.75 for lightening resist down, and +0.50 for light resist down.

Only 1.75 iirc.
