The Angel Shot is a weapon that can be obtained from chests, Bell, or from some of The Dealer's deals. It fires a bolt of lightning from the sky that deals damage continuously.

How Damage is Calculated

As long as an enemy is within the blast, it will deal damage to them continuously. If an enemy stays inside for the entire duration of the shot, it will record damage 6 times. Due to the way damage is calculated, these ticks will deal de facto damage to the enemy twice or more for each recorded damage. Each time the lightning does damage, it gives diminishing returns, which can be calculated by this equation:

$d_{n}=\lfloor d_{n-1}(0.75)\rceil ;d_{1}=4*damageMultiplier$

Where d_n is damage at the nth hit. Note the function is always rounded to the nearest integer. This produces graph's like these:

Where Red = Damage Multiplier 1, Blue = Damage Multiplier 1.5, Green = Damage Multiplier 2, Orange = Damage Multiplier 2.5, Purple = Damage Multiplier 3.

Total Damage

The total damage can be approximated via the sum:

$2*\sum _{n=1}^{6}d_{n}$

With some error based on hardware performance. Here are some common values that players might find:

Damage Multiplier	Total Damage	Ideal DPS
0.50	24	30.4
0.75	26	32.9
1.00	30	38.0
1.25	36	45.6
1.50	44	55.7
1.75	46	58.2
2.00	56	70.9
2.25	60	75.9
2.50	72	91.1
2.75	74	93.7
3.00	80	101.3
