With that out of the way, I’ll go straight into the results, first of all with Reimu, Marisa and Sanae which are fairly straightforward.
Pic related shows the capture time reduction in function of Centipede’s starting multiplier. Not too interesting on its own, although it is fairly interesting that the slope of Marisa’s curve isn’t quite as steep as the other two. I have estimated that Marisa has higher rate of fire than both Reimu and Sanae, but this conclusion doesn't really hold up. The interesting part comes when you compare the decrease rate with and without Saki’s card for each character. In all the graphs the Saki’s card line is represented in black, and in all of them you can see it stay behind from a certain point onwards, usually at the x1.4 mark. That would indicate that the Centipede’s damage increase isn’t simply a fixed multiplier, it’s actually dependent on the initial shot power, and it decreases if the shot power increases through other means such as Saki’s card. If you are going for a NMNB run, it may actually be optimal to just choose Centipede, as it seems to scale better in an optimal scenario.
Now, I obviously left Sakuya aside until now, and I consider it’s for a good reason. I think it’s fair to say she may be kinda broken. And I don’t mean it as in “she’s so good she’s broken!”, I mean as in “she completely ignores every rule and doesn’t make a lick of sense” kind of broken. It’s probably a bit more evident with the table I’m posting next. There’s something (a lot of things) very wrong with her, and I don’t even know where to start. I’ll have to explain a bit more of the methodology first: (cont.)
