View source for Common weapon ATA comparison

This page serves to provide a quick reference for comparing [[Weapon attributes|Hit %]] values between each tier of common [[weapons]] to find equivalent [[ATA]] values.

The starting reference point of all tables is a max-tier common weapon (e.g. {{Sword|Gladius}}, {{Gun|Raygun}}, {{Gun|Arms}}, etc.) with a Hit % value of 50, as these can be obtained (semi-) reliably via purchasing from the [[Arms Shop]] (for the [[Charge]] special), or from the Episode 4 [[Quests|quest]] {{Quest link|The Restless Lion}} (for other specials).

Certain rare and/or event weapons (such as [[TypeM weapons]]) are also included (when relevant) as some of these weapons perform a similar function to the weapons within the table they are found (e.g. {{Gun|rare|Bringer's Rifle}}). More specific details are listed underneath the table.

Because different tiers of common weapons have different photon colors, some players enjoy using lower-tier weaponry for aesthetic purposes (e.g. an {{Gun|Autogun}}, for its blue photon, instead of a {{Gun|Raygun}}, with a yellow photon), but will typically not want to sacrifice performance to do so, which necessitates finding higher Hit % than would otherwise be necessary. For this reason, the tables below only consider "equivalency" to mean "''greater than or equal to''," and are arranged to reflect this. 
* For example, a {{Gun|Laser}} with 50 Hit % reaches a total ATA of 100. While a {{Gun|Blaster}} with ''55'' Hit % reaches an ATA of 99, even though it is only 1 ATA below the Laser, it would still be 1 point less effective, therefore a Blaster is only considered equivalent with ''60'' Hit % instead.
** The exception to this is weapons that are only available with specific amounts of Hit % (such as [[Tools#Enemy parts|enemy weapons]] and [[TypeM weapons#Event TypeM weapons|event TypeM weapons]]), as equivalence values may be more complicated.
