Opening pool and across-run DPS

“Your opening pick” compares the starting pool with one weapon equipped, each family at the tier the pool actually offers it. “Across the whole run” compares every usable family at its highest usable tier.

Your opening pick · pool-limited view

Starting-pool DPS at Tier II

This answers the first weapon-choice comparison. The across-run ranking below answers a separate question across every usable weapon family.

The normalized maximum starting-weapon pool contains 4 families. A save can display fewer because only unlocked entries appear, and active DLC can alter the pool.

Reading this list: all eligible pool entries are compared together because the opening selection is choose-one. Each value is expected direct primary-target DPS with one weapon equipped, at the tier that family’s own starting-pool record declares.

“Other-weapon DPS” on a row: that family writes a stat into your player stats when it is equipped, and every weapon you carry afterwards reads the same stat block. The figure counts how many of the 3 other ranked families in this pool compute a different DPS while it is carried, then names the largest single change. It is measured in this opening context — one equipped weapon, each family at its own pool-record tier — so it is a separate figure from the same weapon’s cue in the across-run ranking below, which assumes a different loadout.

How the opening-pool ranking is computed

This character’s starting-weapon pool, each family at its own pool-record tier, and 1 equipped weapon. Default 10 Max HP and zero other default combat stats; no bonus stats beyond Dwarf’s fixed direct base deltas. Stat-gain factors, matching character weapon-set or weapon-type bonuses, and equipment-linked effects are applied through the shared damage calculation. The equipment context is 1 equipped weapon, 1 unique weapon family, 0 duplicate items, and a Tier I or Tier IV weapon counter set from the entry’s own tier; item, material, structure, and pet counters are 0.

The target is not cursed, burning, or a boss. Every attack or projectile aimed at the primary target connects, and DPS is before enemy armor. Explosions, burning, spawned attacks, and later pierce or bounce targets are outside this metric.

Character-specific facts

Mechanics used or stated

Stat-gain factors

  • −50% gain to Attack Speed (×0.5)

Factors apply to the complete resolved target stat and remain fractional until the modeled damage or timing consumer rounds.

Weapon rules

  • Ranged weapons filtered from offers and cannot be bought

Other declared mechanics

  • Declared+1 Engineering when killing at least 6 enemies with a direct weapon hit Bespoke trigger, stacking, or unit behavior is not used in the ranking.
  • ConfirmedLinked Melee Damage = truncate toward zero (1 × Engineering / 2); uses permanent sources only This effect is resolved into the character stat block the ranking is computed from.

Wanted-tag roll

On a 5% conditional item roll, the pool is filtered to entries tagged Engineering, Structure when that filtered pool is non-empty.

Same item computation, read by character

Measured item outliers for Dwarf

Offer filtering is listed first, followed by higher and lower resolved direct-stat changes. The item-page calculation applies this character’s stat-gain factors to each item’s declared direct stat effects. A value group appears when the signed change is at least 50% of that item’s total absolute direct-stat magnitude.

Resolved direct-stat change: +50% or more

  • Baby Squid — +50% normalized signed change (Attack Speed −3 resolves ×0.5)
  • Small Fish — +50% normalized signed change (Attack Speed −3 resolves ×0.5)
  • Stone Skin — +50% normalized signed change (Attack Speed −6 resolves ×0.5)
  • Will-o’-Wisp — +50% normalized signed change (Attack Speed −7 resolves ×0.5)

Resolved direct-stat change: −50% or less

  • Improved Tools — −50% normalized signed change (Attack Speed +10 resolves ×0.5)

Across the whole run · all usable families

Ranked by computed DPS for this character

Unlike the opening-pool view, this uses every usable weapon family at its highest usable tier and the full stated weapon-count context. 34 weapons change position versus the generic order.

Reading the Dwarf-specific column: ↑ 5 = 5 places higher in this character’s ranking than in the generic, zero-bonus ranking; ↓ 5 = 5 places lower; — = same place. “generic #N” is the weapon’s rank with no character bonuses applied.

“Other-weapon DPS” on a row: that family writes a stat into your player stats when it is equipped, and every other weapon you carry reads the same stat block. The figure counts how many of the 47 other families Dwarf can use compute a different DPS while it is carried, then names the largest single change. Each family is measured on its own under this ranking’s assumptions and this character’s stat-gain factors, so those are independent results rather than one loadout, and they differ by family — the largest is stated as the largest, not as a rate they share. The row’s own DPS above does not include the write.

How this ranking is computed

Default 10 Max HP and zero other default combat stats; no bonus stats beyond Dwarf’s direct base deltas; 6 equipped weapons from distinct families; the listed weapon is at its highest tier this character can use. Other equipped weapons are assumed Tier II or III. Item, material, structure, pet, and duplicate-item counters are 0 unless a note below says otherwise.

The target is not cursed, burning, or a boss. Every attack or projectile aimed at the primary target connects. DPS is before enemy armor. Character-local weapon bonuses and the stated equipment counters are applied through the calculator’s staged truncation, rounding, and timing rules.

Metric boundary

What the across-run ranking does not claim

The lists compare expected direct damage to one primary target per second. They do not combine melee with ranged, and they do not model enemy armor, target density, positioning, closing distance, survivability, misses or spread, overkill, explosions, burning, spawned attacks, later pierce or bounce targets, or conditional target bonuses. Those omitted factors can change results observed during a run.
