Guide: Weapon progression and mob selection

The only question that I've got is that on stage 12 you've got a Riker UL1 with an A103 amp. I've just bought an A103 with the intention of putting it on my new Riker UL2 that I've just bought but in the meantime I'm wasting the last of my UL1. I decided to put the A103 on the UL1 and got an overamping warning - does this matter?

the riker ul1 is one of the few weapons where the warning can be ignored

thats because the eco increase by an amp is basically decided, how close it comes to the "max allowed"

the riker has 23 dam max, so allowed would be 11.5

the 102 has 7
the 103 has 12 dam

now the 12 is closer than the 7, you you just "waste" 0.5 dam

thats acceptable

here the figures of average eco btw from e-tools

riker ul1 2.763
riker ul1 with 102: 2.849
riker ul1 with 103: 2.864

eco is slightly higher (but if you don't have a 102 amp, or want to sell it and just use the riker, the cheaper 103 might be an option)

the riker ul1 is one of the few weapons the 103 is actually a useful amp i guess

at least e-tools said so #D

Err ok, I think I understood most of that! Does this mean that the 103 is any good for my Riker UL2 though or would I be better off with a 102?

[Alice]

102 (7 dam) is ok, 103(12) better i guess

since the max dam of the UL2 is 26, so it would support an amp with up to 13 dam
