It’s cubic not sine; I can fit Maria’s Epsilon data so that the curve rounds to the exactly correct value for every data point, and also for Janelle’s data (separately) to round to the exactly correct value; I still need to check if I can make a single curve and multiplier between Maria and Janelle to round exactly for both, but it does look like the curves are at least fairly close to exact multiples of each other.
Interestingly, no x-value rounding needs to be assumed, at least to get the correctly rounding values for Maria and Janelle separately. So, perhaps the x (heteropneum amplitude) values are exact?No, see below
The cubic curve does take a big dive at high heteropneum amplitudes, but fortunately not until after Earwax’s ~3.2 amplitude. Also, the fit for Maria’s 0.57 amplitude result of 0.1 is actually around 0.096. Will getting 0.21 suggests he is at least around 2.13 times stronger than Maria using Epsilon and is projected to get at least about 3.85 against a 3.2 amplitude heteropneum. So, Will using Epsilon still looks like a safe pick to survive if we can’t find guaranteed survival another way.
edited to add: note that the speculation that the x-axis values might be exact should only apply to the overwhelmed heteropneums—there are the these are the only ones we have epsilon data on and also the only ones we have data to 2 decimal places on. Irrelevant, see below
All overwhelmed heteropneums that are duplicates in power of another overwhelmed heteropneum is a multiple of an integer from 2 to 22 times 0.142 (the integers probably go higher than this, but Maria stops overwhelming them at that point). This value of 0.142 might not be the exact value, but it makes the numbers round correctly, whereas the rounded values are not exactly the right ratios, so presumably the amplitude values are rounded.
Update on Epsilon resonance:
