Enter your current values before buying Cake. Fields start at the game’s own default stat block, where every stat but Max HP starts at zero — a 0 here is that default, not an empty field. Player stats use the same device-local values as the weapon pages.

What the comparison includes

Both sides use the shared expected primary-target, pre-mitigation direct-DPS engine. The after side adds fixed global-stat changes and the declared count/stat-scaled changes shown on this page. It includes staged damage rounding, crit expectation, projectile count, shooting duration, and steady-state mean cooldown.

It excludes enemy armor, target density, positioning, misses, overkill, burning, explosions, spawned attacks, temporary effects without a fixed duration state, conditional procs, target debuffs, and weapon-scripted damage changes. A displayed zero therefore means zero within this stated direct metric, not zero value in every combat situation.

Offer and resolved-stat relationships

Character-specific relationships

Filtered normal rolls

This item is filtered out of normal pre-final shop and crate rolls for the characters below. At the final-wave boundary and in endless, character filters are disabled. If filtering empties the candidate pool, generation can use an unfiltered backup pool. Upgrade rejection stops after 50 retries. These are offer filters, not ownership or use prohibitions.
