	The most common useful example of accuracy glitch is an SNS combo with {{Sword\|rare\|Slicer of Fanatic}} at medium distance. Without accuracy glitch, the accuracy modifiers on the S1 attack of this combo would be <code>1.0 * 0.5</code> = ~~<code>~~0.5~~</code>~~, but with the accuracy glitch the modifiers on the S1 attack become those of N2: <code>1.3 * 1.0</code> = ~~<code>~~1.3~~</code>~~.		The most common useful example of accuracy glitch is an SNS combo with {{Sword\|rare\|Slicer of Fanatic}} at medium distance. Without accuracy glitch, the accuracy modifiers on the S1 attack of this combo would be <code>1.0 * 0.5</code> = '''0.5''', but with the accuracy glitch the modifiers on the S1 attack become those of N2: <code>1.3 * 1.0</code> = '''1.3'''.

	This results in a little more than '''2.5x''' the expected effective accuracy, allowing a typically incredibly inaccurate S1 attack to be more reliable than an N1 attack (<code>1.0 * 1.0</code> = ~~<code>~~1.0~~</code>~~) or an S3 attack (<code>1.69 * 0.5</code> = ~~<code>~~0.845~~</code>~~). This allows even low [[ATA]] characters to fight high [[EVP]] [[monsters]] more easily and effectively, while also elevating the ceiling of strong combos for high ATA characters with good positioning.		This results in a little more than '''2.5x''' the expected effective accuracy, allowing a typically incredibly inaccurate S1 attack to be more reliable than an N1 attack (<code>1.0 * 1.0</code> = '''1.0''') or an S3 attack (<code>1.69 * 0.5</code> = '''0.845'''). This allows even low [[ATA]] characters to fight high [[EVP]] [[monsters]] more easily and effectively, while also elevating the ceiling of strong combos for high ATA characters with good positioning.

	The SNS combo - or simply SN combo if S3 accuracy is not reliable - can be effective against a majority of monsters in the game. However, if the monster is exceedingly evasive like [[Deldepth]] or [[Ill Gill]], the glitch can be pushed to even further effectiveness with a NSN combo (<code>1.69 * 1.0</code> = ~~<code>~~1.69~~</code>~~), glitching S2's projectile with N3's accuracy modifiers. This is notably useful for a [[FOmar]] without [[Red Ring]]'s addition ATA bonus using Hell {{Sword\|es\|ES Slicer}} or {{Sword\|es\|ES J-Cutter}} against many of the ~~medium-~~high EVP monsters in Episode 2.

	[[Handguns]] have relatively fast projectiles and medium-long range. They can be accuracy glitched starting at a medium distance.

Thunder: big rewrite and lots more details. I need to verify a few things still but I want to get this up at least. not 100% sure on the exact workings in the code. I haven't tested/verified firsthand if dagger combo step 2 can be glitched with combo step 3. need to check each combo step on ES cards. need to verify most of the melee projectiles. and would like to note if any of these accuracy glitches are actually affected by battle speed. probably needs other touch-ups etc

	The '''accuracy glitch''' (commonly referred to as the "SNS glitch", or simply "SNS") is a glitch that the accuracy of [[attack\|attacks]] in a combo. ~~This~~ glitch ~~differs slightly when used on either a ranged or melee attack~~.		The '''accuracy glitch''' (commonly referred to as the "SNS glitch", or simply "SNS") is a glitch that alters the accuracy of [[attack\|attacks]] in a combo. There are two aspects of the accuracy glitch: '''Attack type modifier''' and '''Combo Step Modifier.'''

	~~When used on a ranged attack if a second or third attack in a combo has begun, and the previous attack has not hit the target, the previous attack~~'~~s accuracy will be updated~~ to ~~have~~ the accuracy ~~modifier~~ of the following ~~attack.~~		'''Attack type modifier''' refers to the accuracy adjustment based on the type of attack, using the following values:

	~~When used on a melee~~ attack~~, if~~ a ~~second or third attack in a combo has begun, and the previous attack has not hit the target, the previous attack's accuracy '''will not''' be updated to have the accuracy~~ modifier ~~of the following attack like a ranged attack. Instead the combo step of the following attack will be applied to the previous attack.~~		* Normal: 1.0
			* Heavy: 0.7
			* Special: 0.5 ([[Attack#Special attack\|Some special attacks use a 0.7 modifier]])

	~~This~~ glitch is most easily achieved with projectile-based [[weapons]], such as [[slicers]] and [[handguns]]. While ~~it can be performed with certain~~ melee weapons ~~as well, it is much harder to achieve~~.		'''Combo Step modifier''' refers to the accuracy adjustment based on what step of the 3 hit combo you are on, using the following values:

			* First attack: 1.0
			* Second attack: 1.3
			* Third attack: 1.69

			The accuracy glitch can be used on both ranged or melee attacks, with slight differences.

			When used on a ranged attack if a second or third attack in a combo has begun, and the previous attack has not hit the target, the previous attacks accuracy will be updated to have both the '''Attack Type modifier''' and '''Combo Step modifier''' of the following attack.

			When used on a melee attack, if a second or third attack in a combo has begun, and the previous attack has not hit the target, the previous attacks accuracy will be updated to have the '''Combo Step modifier''' of the following attack.

			Not all weapon types can achieve the accuracy glitch. It is most easily achieved with projectile-based [[weapons]], such as [[slicers]] and [[handguns]]. While being hard to achieve on melee weapons.
