-A weapon's damage have a minimal and maximal value. The variance exists because every weapon in the game have a high ATP value (shown in its stats) and low ATP value (invisible). The low ATP value is obtained by substracting the variance from the high ATP value. The variance do not change between grinds, only between weapons. The variance cannot cause the weapon ATP to reach below 1.

−	To calculate an enemy's hit rate, use the same formula but reverse the roles. Some of the enemies use TECHNICs, which cannot miss either. However the value for the enemies' PA modifier is currently unknown when they use normal attacks.
