About this converter
NieR Automata lists attack for each weapon at level 1 in the equip menu, before pods, chips and level 4 upgrades. Small swords here run 196 to 280: Cypress Stick at 196, Engine Blade at 238, Contract at 252, Type-3 Blade at 266, Cruel Oath at 280. Large swords run 210 to 350: Iron Pipe at 210, Treaty at 294, Lament at 322, Type-3 Sword at 350. Spears run 280 to 336: Phoenix Spear at 280, Ancient Overlord at 308, Faith at 336. Bracers run 224 to 252. All rows pin the base Lv1 figure so upgrades do not mix into ranks.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total attack. Try Type-3 Sword against Cypress Stick.
Level 4 upgrades raise attack a lot and stay out of rows. Pod programs, weapon skills and chips change real damage per hit and sit outside this base table. Joke weapons stay in since their low bases anchor the scale. DLC arena rewards use the same base figures.
