So I'm doing the math now on Bobbing, something I already did when he came out but never updated for his module, and I find Bobbing kind of fascinating? His S1 is seemingly tuned just right to have very specific breakpoints which depend on his potentials. Let me explain.

A pot 1 Bobbing at maximum level will have 486 ATK. His talent will inflict Burn damage equal to 16% of his ATK every second for the next five seconds after an enemy is first attacked. His S1 at M3 will deal 120% of his ATK as Burn damage. This added together makes for a rather simple number. 200%. You can consider an enemy attacked first by Bobbing's S1 to take, in total, 200% of his ATK as Burn damage.

That comes out 972 burn damage. Not enough to pop his burst. But, if you get him to Potential 4, he gets a 21 point increase to his ATK, pushing it to 507. This means he'll do 1,014 burn damage, enough to pop any non-boss enemy in one cycle.

I actually don't like this as design, it feels super intended. A Potential 4 Bobbing is a lot stronger than a Pot 1 Bobbing based on this simple set of numbers alone. Fortunately, when the module came out, things changed on that front. Just unlocking the module gives Bobbing +25 ATK, so now you don't need his ATK potential, and it increases the burn damage he does by 18% (!!??) to elites and bosses. Just this alone pushes the numbers to 1,022 and 1,205.96. Still nowhere close to popping a boss. A second S1 activation won't pop them either.

But let's upgrade the module further. This increases his ATK further to +35 ATK, and his talent buff to 18%, or 90% of his ATK in total, for 210% burn damage in this cycle. 521 ATK x 2.1 = 1,094.1, and that times 1.18 equals 1,291.038. If you add another S1 activation, increasing the total amount to 3.3x ATK, you get 1,719.3, or 2,028.774. You need Module level 3 to hit this breakpoint...or, if you haven't guessed.

486 + 25 + 21 = 532. 532 * (0.16 * 5 + 1.2 + 1.2) = 1,702.4 * 1.18 = 2,008.832

If you have a Potential 4 Bobbing, you can just skip the module upgrades entirely and stay at module level 1.

Granted, these are all just for skill 1, and truthfully, Bobbing isn't exactly meta breaking so I'm not sure anyone cares too much about any of this, but it's rare to find an operator so clearly defined by very gradual shifts to the numbers of their talents and stats.

[Pilotredsky] "The Scuffler EP" : Wow, I can't believe that this EP still sounds awesome like the third day in a row. [Zock] "Blackbird" : Found this earlier, and it made me wanna check out the artist more. "Hollywood Days" : Very pleasant and easy listening for work, a bit in the smooth/lite-jazz territory. [Bobbing] "Thank You for Singing to Me" : Fantastic and super tight EP that kicks ass from beginning to end. [Moon Hooch] "Acid Mountain" : Wait, this is just a single?! [Wardruna] "Runaljod - gap var Ginnunga" : I've been listening to many of these songs out of order for years now, but hearing them all play out in sequence properly makes the experience even more affecting. [Paul Simon] "Graceland" : Great music, but just not the right pick for when I was listening, so I'll have to return to this at some point. [Glasys] "Defective Humanity" : I still think that "The Pressure" EP is a tighter project overall, but as a development thereof "Defective Humanity" has tons to offer, and explores a broader gamut of interpretation on it's themes. [PJ Harvey] "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" : I'll have to check out more by the artist, because I'm super down with the vocal performance, which is excellently complimented by the instrumental. [Evan Marian] "Parallels" : My lovely partner gave me a better set of earbuds to use at work, and hearing a much fuller juicier bass tone on an album I already really love was a crazy treat. [Talking Heads] "Remain in Light" : I don't know why I had such a bias against Talking Heads, but despite my best efforts to the contrary I did in fact enjoy the album quite a bit. [August Burns Red] "Guardians" : Metal is still something I'm learning how to listen to properly, but I love the tones that this group gets, and it's no wonder this is one of the first groups I stumbled across.

I'm sorry I know there's a lot more going on rn but I become more obsessed with Bobbing the more I think about him.

He's the most neuronormal man in existence, he's so neurotypical it's insane to me. In contrast to the other "Just A Guy"s in Arknights he's literally just a guy with no twist.

He has a completely normal childhood and he has no connections with any secret gangs and he hasn't experienced any oppression in any way and as a person he's agreeable and genuinely nice to a normal degree. He had some self esteem issues and a white saviour complex but he literally got over them off screen by the time we meet him now. He has no problems aside from the expected stress and existential dread that comes from him being a social worker. He's the most chronically offline man in all of Terra. I bet if you quote a tiktok audio to him he'd look at you confused as hell. His most Quirky Trait is him not liking loud noises, and that's it. I don't know how Arknights does it, they keep raising the bar for how "Just A Guy" their guys can be.
