The graph below is over hitpoints and is straight attack multiplier due to assault. It also has the base all maxed large assault weapons (2.44) there to show the base comparison against.

Finally MLB Abou and slvl 20 the vigoras weapon (just realized it's an arcane weapon >.>) Did some field tests with vigoras and Abou. The dmg hit I got from the Abou/vigoras combo versus Barong/assault is in line with the calculations, so everything works as expected.

One thing I realized while fighting real battles with vigoras/Abou/pride-like combos - you actually don't want dmg spread out around your party like you normally would, 'cos then everyone is staying around the flat part of the curve where you are losing a little bit of dmg. You want at least one hime to get to the upward sloping part of the curve as soon as possible to maximize dmg, so units that guard like light Athena (who I don't have, so this is all theory) will probably do well. Tish also works pretty well 'cos her abilities reduce %hp. Lugh should be an awesome addition to vigoras/pride combos when she comes out (she might work well with just pride alone now that I think about it.) Also, if you are running Eros, put her barrier up AFTER you get hit instead of before, which is my usual habit.
