Does weapon attack increase AB damage?  Trying to determine to get a elemental sword or Red Twin Edge.  Also, how do I get bioethics after trans?

[DrAzzy]

On classic, acid bomb damage is effected ONLY by your INT and the target's VIT (and % damage reduction vs neutral/demihuman of course). 

 

Nothing else effects damage - not atk, not matk, not +% damage cards. Only your int and enemy vit. Bazerald is a good weapon.

 

Talk to the npc in Valhalla who changed you from high merchant to biochem to get bioethics back.

Would Erde 2x Cecil or one of the Twin Edge's 3x Cecil be better?

[Jaffer]

Triple Cecil Elemental Sword is the best weapon for Acid Bomb on Classic.

 

Well, outside of a Mjolnir.

[DrAzzy]

3x Cecil ES beats the RTE for sure (4 int versus no 4 int)

 

I don't know what the appeal of the Erde is though! The Erde is contributing nothing except slots and mace-ness (for AR) to the party - and if all you want is slots and mace-ness, you might as well use a Mace [4] (or club [4]), because then you can put 4 cecil cards in it, and get 65% aspd reduc from weapon, AR, and zerk pot. 

 

Man, that's something I miss about pre-renewal mechanics, how broken things got when all +% aspd mods stacked additively.

I didn't realize Twin Blades gave int. Thanks for the info.

 

And unless the DB is wrong, it Erde is said to give a 20% increase to Acid Demonstration.

Acid Terror and Demonstration separately.

No, they don't give int. I just said RTE doesn't give int.

That's why I said the elemental sword (which gives 4 int) beats the twin edge (which does not).

 

Erde increases damage with the Bomb ( http://irowiki.org/wiki/Bomb ) and Acid Terror ( http://irowiki.org/wiki/Acid_Terror ) skills, not Acid Bomb. Unfortunately.
