@@andrewholmes5392 OP is right, the mathematical definition of exponential growth is a quantity whose derivative (growth rate) is proportional (i.e. a constant multiple of) to the quantity itself. If Claw's damage increase was proportional to the damage it delt, it would be exponential. As it stands, the damage increase grows linearly, and thus the damage itself will always grow quadratically at best. In fact, even if you added another layer and the *increase* of the *damage increase* went up by 1 each time (i.e. instead of each claw accelerating the damage increase by 1, it accelerated it by 1, 2, 3, 4...) thereby making damage follow the tetrahedral numbers, it STILL wouldn't be exponential since that's just a cubic function. TL;DR no matter how many layers you add, it's still a polynomial and is not exponential. In order to be exponential, it must grow by a scalar multiple of itself, for example: "Deal 1 damage. double the damage of all claws." which was OP's suggestion. Even something as subtle as: "Deal 1 damage. Increase the damage of all claws by 1% of this claw's damage." would be exponential as 1.01^(n-1) and eventually beat out any polynomial damage function (assuming you kept track of the decimals behind the scenes and rounded).
@@hiiistrex2838 The damage scaling is a triangular, so the nth claw deals is (n)(n+1)/2 which simplifies to (n^2)/2 + n/2 Edit: wait you're right because base is 1.
Was about to point this out lol But i guess you could at least say this is fourth order scaling. If you consider overall damage dealt as a function of claws played. I think that's correct?
This isn’t actually quadratic growth either. Quadratic growth would be if the damage increased by 1, then 3, then 5, and so on (odd numbers). But it increases by 1, then 2, then 3, etc, forming the sequence of 1,2,4,7, etc. This is sometimes called the Lazy Caterer’s Sequence (according to Google), but considering that I have a degree in Mathematics and I didn’t know that it was called that, I wouldn’t put it in the title of my video.
@@loudheart1607 The lazy caterers is a quadratic sequence, x = (n²+n+2)/2. The difference in increments doesn't need to be 2, it just needs to be constant

Not to be too pedantic, but neither of those are exactly the correct formula, nor are they the equivalent. 0.5n² - 0.5n + 2 would be assuming the base damage is 2 not 1, and 1+(n(n+1))/2 is modeling damaging for the n+1th claw, not the nth (i.e. indexed starting at 0) The damage for the Nth Claw follows the the triangle numbers + 1 but delayed one claw, as the the 1st Claw has no increase at all. Said another way, playing the first Claw simply begins the sequence, thus when you play Claw n, you set Claw n+1's damage to the nth triangular number + 1 base damage. Therefore the actual function is: 1+(n(n-1))/2
I'm a casual lurker in the background. I watch you because you talk a lot, and have a good mix of game knowledge and nonsense, so it stays an entertaining mix.
quadratic would be 1, 4, 9, 16 and so on. This is 1, 2, 4, 7, 11 which is the lazy caterer's sequence Until he plays 7 claws this mod nerfs claws. After 7 it it gets kind of silly compared to the normal version.
From one girly pop to another, You look great Claire! Thanks for doing the intro and introducing yourself (And so does August!) (Maybe you too Mr. Streamer) Thanks for cheering my days up all day and everyday!
I love ur collabs the most because u bounce so well off other people. Id love to see u play league or whatever else. but i understand that a lot of ur veiwership care about the game a bit as well, i just watch for ur vibes tbh. I think ur just hilarious as fuck and always bring good and interesting vibes
On the topic of League, I still do the "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT THE FU-" from your first Zilean clips video (Zilean so OP your mom is a mom??) as a vocal stim from time to time
I watch you because you're funny AND great at the game. I also watch plenty of people who are just great at what they're doing, and I usually don't watch people who are just funny while sucking at what they're doing, unless it's a collab. Incompetence should not be ignored or worse, praised.
The overall damage of claws is already exponential. Total starts at 3, then goes to 8, then goes to 15, then goes to 24, then goes to 35, etc. It grows faster and faster.
It's not already exponential in the base game, and it also isn't exponential in this mod. Exponential doesn't just mean growing faster and faster. In the base game, the damage of each claw grows linearly, x(n) = 2n + 3 (i'm counting the first claw as n=0 because it'd be annoying to write n-1 everytime), and the sum of all claws, which is what you're describing, grows quadratically, x(n) = n² + 4n + 3 . In this mod, the damage of each individual claw grows quadratically, x(n) = [n² + n + 2] / 2 , and the sum grows cubically (I don't want to write that one). What defines this is the term with the higher exponent. For a series to have exponential growth the exponent must be increasing, such as in x(n) = 2^n (Deal 2 damage, double the damage for the rest of combat) . People say "exponentially" as a word for really quick growths in general because yeah, it does grow a lot faster than the other examples here. The 10th Claw in StS deals 21 damage(120 total), the 10th Claw in the mod deals 46 damage(175 total), and the 10th Claw in this exponential example deals 1024(2046 total).
It is because of Rarran I found your TH-cam channel. I keep watching your TH-cam videos because of your silky-smooth voice. I would watch your Twitch content, but I don't. There really isn't a reason, I just don't watch stream content for anyone x-x
Now just combine this with the other claw mode, and with the boss swap into all claws, and life is good Also sudden Claire was unexpected, but also really funny
Frost unfortunately you're reading the card wrong. It's not "Increase damage and number of increase by X, where X = amount of Claws" It is "Increase Damage by 1 and Amount of Damage increased by 1, this scaling applies to all cards named Claw" If it scaled the way you interpreted it, they would scale IMMENSELY faster. The math confuses me because it would have to do with how it would be coded and an order of operations thing, it could technically scale in more than one way depending on how it is coded.
Alright, Frost, we get it. You're in a thruple. You can stop paying random waitresses to come into your house and pretend to be your girlfriend now. I'm sure Claire is actually a lovely girl.
I watch because you're chill, I like the games you play, you're queer/trans supportive, I'm fairly confident you don't have shit politics given stuff you've said, and you have a fun stage personality.

For those wondering, the formula for how much damage the Nth claw will do is 0.5N² - 0.5N + 2, meaning the scaling is actually quadratic
Alternative formula: 1+(n(n+1))/2
(It’s the triangular numbers, plus 1)
