Common weapon ATA equivalencies

This page serves to provide a quick reference for comparing 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. Gladius, Raygun, 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 quest 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. 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 Autogun, for its blue photon, instead of a 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 Laser with 50 Hit % reaches a total ATA of 100. While a 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 enemy weapons and event TypeM weapons), as equivalence values may be more complicated.
