High damage variance

Curiosity strikes again. I've been working on lando and know that his basic attack has a high damage variance but what exactly does that mean? I'm gonna guess that is means something like there is no set amount of damage to this attack?

  • Normally attacks have something like 5% damage variance. So you do between 95% and 105% of the stated damage. High variance attacks have more than that. Some have 10% or 20% +/- to the stated damage. Not sure exactly what the numbers are for each attack, but a high variance attack just means higher than the normal 5%.
  • It means most of the time you dont do very much damage lol

    Compared to this:

    So... There's your answer. :)
