Diamond Shovel vs mobs: hits to stagger and defeat
CalculatedPick a boss, miniboss or mob to see how many hits of the looping combo it takes to stagger it and to defeat it.
Calculated from base values in the game files: the combo loops, each hit counts at the end of its swing, stagger builds hit by hit until it passes the mob's poise, and resistances to each damage type apply. Item power, enchantments and area threat level are not applied, so use it to compare weapons rather than as an exact count.
