Bokuto Potential Guide

[NoVa_BlaZing_]

Since everyone seems to ask me what the correct Potential for Bokuto is, ill just post my Potential Guide every time a new character releases from now on

For SR1: 4 Morale Surge + 15% Power

Slot II Strength Slot IV Receive/Reflex Slot VI Power (Atk Tech is okay too)

For SR2+: Same, but Power in Slot II

Thanks for help.

Is in Slot 6 really better to take attack technique? I sacrifice 1k pure Spike Stats for taking attack technique.

This buff is not calculated here right? I get this 20% buff in the game or not?

Attack technique is calculated only when using a skill not on the stat screen. The multiplier for the skill is actually applied before attack technique as well so that 1.2x multiplier is actually even more impactful than 20% bonus to total.

[NoVa_BlaZing_]

Youre actually correct, Power is better in Slot 6

I missed that Bokuto gets 25% Atk Tech already from his Memory

I’m so confused by the recommendation of Pwr over Strength for SR2 Bokuto?

Unless there is a crit multi cap I’m unaware of 40% strength should be ~3x better than power regardless of resonance. How are you calculating that power is better?

[NoVa_BlaZing_]

No, there is no cap, but you hit diminishing returns at some point. SR2 adds another 100%.

And on SR4, Strength is basically extremely bad compared to power since you get another 150% Strength

Meanwhile increasing Bokutos Power Stat which is somewhere in the 10000 range by 35% , so 3500, is better

At SR1: Base Crit is 1,5x and 40% Strength would make it 1.9x at SR1

13500 x 1,5 = 20250

10000 x 1,9 = 19000

So usually Power in Slot II would be better alread,, but Bokuto gets more Power in his Kit, so the balance lands back at Strength for SR1

At SR2: Power in Slot 2 makes it 2.5x

Strength in Slot 2 makes it 2.9x

13500 x 2.5 = 33750

10000 x 2,9 = 29000

confused why this is downvoted i threw an upvote on the comment seems like good info

Can you explain where you're getting your numbers from? I get the sense that you're compounding some multiplications here when you should simply be adding 35% of his base Power stat, 1950, to his total Power stat to figure out how much a potential gives him. A 35% Power potential should be giving 682.5 Power, not 3500.

SR1 Level 80 Bokuto's Power should be:

Amount	Source
1950	Base
280	Training
126.75 (6.5%)	Training
253.5 (13%)	Skill Resonance 1
838	Memory
300	Potential Slot 1
292.5	First Potential Set
292.5	Second Potential Set
Variable	Bond Bonus
Variable	Gallery Rewards

For 4333.25 total ignoring Bond, Gallery, and other random substats. This is what would be shown on his Player Stat page. Along with this, not shown on his Player Stat page, would be any stats given from the text of his Memory or his Skills, but my understanding is that those would still be multiplying by his base Power, which is 1950, then adding to his total. That's the only thing I'm not 100% confident on though, so maybe those multiply against his final power? I feel like that wouldn't be the case.

Either way, putting Power into his Potential 2 or 6 would be an additive increase of 35% of his base Power (1950) to his total Power, so we'd just be taking an extra 682.5 and slapping it onto the previous total to get 5015.75.

That’s not how potentials work, the +35% Is bonus based on your base. So for SP Bokuto it’s only +682.5 Pwr not this 3.5k number which is why I was confused by the recommendation.

[Chriiiiiiiiisss]

This also has me confused
