Energy Damage – Energy Damage. Good for unarmored targets (100% damage) and useful for armored (50%). This type of damage have two Shotguns – premium Megathrone and “ordinary” Dominion. Last and the best shotgun in the game at this moment.

Acid Damage – Acid Damage. Good for unarmored targets (100% damage) and just brilliant for armored (130%). This type of damage has only one Shotgun (Acid). Was the best shotgun in the game until “Legacy of Dominion” update.

    Sooo,
    30% damage at longest distance (beginning of battle)
    What about at half distance, and closer distance before melee distance ? How much damage does shotguns deal at those distances?

    • avatar Noob101 ( Sergeant Sergeant Player's Rank 34 )

      I’m guessing it’s around 50% at close distance, and finally 100% at point-blank distance.

    hhhmmmm,

    against armored enemies, I think Acid is still the best shotgun.
    Acid shotgun max dmg: 1190 + 30% = 1547
    Dominion shotgun max dmg: 2890 x 50% = 1445

    Is my math correct?

    • avatar Salvator ( Sergeant Sergeant Player's Rank 24 )

      Everything is correct.

      Except the +30% is not solid additional dmg. It’s following dmg over time. The shooting dmg alone is still 1190
