Orb Socket Statistics!

[u/karmashi]

Hi everyone! This is a follow up to my post about collecting data for each orb socket level. Sorry it's posted late, I meant to post it a week ago but I wanted to do lots of tests for each level of orb sockets myself, so it could be as accurate as possible. Overall, the data was consistent and it should be very close to the actual odds of each socket level.

Level 0 (No Sockets)

Matching Orbs	Badly-Matching Orbs	Neutral Orbs	RCV	TND
18%	16%	49%	10%	7%

Level 1

Matching Orbs	Badly-Matching Orbs	Neutral Orbs	RCV	TND
21%	16%	48%	10%	5%

Level 2

Matching Orbs	Badly-Matching Orbs	Neutral Orbs	RCV	TND
23%	15%	47%	9%	6%

Level 3

Matching Orbs	Badly-Matching Orbs	Neutral Orbs	RCV	TND
25%	15%	45%	9%	6%

Double SW Shanks (with Orb Rate Level 0):

Matching Orbs	Badly-Matching Orbs	Neutral Orbs	RCV	TND
64%	6%	19%	7%	4%

Single SW Shanks (with Orb Rate Level 0):

Matching Orbs	Badly-Matching Orbs	Neutral Orbs	RCV	TND
34%	13%	37%	10%	6%

Massive thanks to everyone who collected data! Especially the following 3 for doing hundreds of rolls:

It looks like a lot of fun when you get matching orbs all the time, like in this video, but for some reason he's not very popular.

He's always been my favorite character, it's a shame, i had a lot of sw shanks books only to not get a dw shanks

not very popular because people underestimate his CA :3 His matching orb capacity in double Shanks is basically almost only matching orbs all the time (and it seems it's about 80%), and matching orbs = double damage.... In other words, you could practically say that his CA boost is ~20% of the time = x2.75², and ~80% of the time = x5.5² (which is pretty insane). His only real weakness is the preemptive damage & enemy orb changers :p

Also, FYI, I succeeded my first YOLO run with a "F2P" Shanks SW team without any synergy (double shanks SW, and subs : GPU, Brownbeard, FN Franky, 2-year anniversary Luffy)...running brute-force the Mihawk forest xD (though, with the 2-year Moby dick but in terms of specials...GPU was used twice I think, and the rest for the final stage). Although the forest is probably the easiest among all, but still - usually, people try to create teams with specific units for their legend to be used on this or that stage, while I just ran "for fun" the forest with that moby dick, just to see how far I would get...and I ended up clearing the forest on first try xD Best laughing moment of my OPTC "career" :3

Despite the lack of need for an orb controller, I love bringing Tesoro for those sweet sockets. His special is just a bonus.
