Weapons and Characters

This is about finding the right weapons for your characters.

In the TWD Road to survival update on late March 2016, you can see the AP of a character.

AP is the number to be reached for the character to use his Adrenaline Rush actions.

AP is filled when attacking and taking damage.
While the numbers of AP from taking damage is quite random, the AP from attacking is fixed.

The base is 20.
You receive additional 3 from weapon or leader with small bonus to AP.
You receive additional 5 from medium bonus to AP.
You received additional 8 from large bonus to AP.

If you both have leader giving bonus to AP and weapon bonus to AP, you receive both bonus.

It is important to give your character a weapon suitable to his AP. For example:
Sandys AP is 45 when maxed
With small bonus weapon, she could do her AR after two turns.
23 x 2 = 46 (limited to 45)
With large bonus weapon, she could do her AR also after two turns.
28 x 2 = 56 (limited to 45).
The conclusion is, you would not be better off by giving her a weapon with large bonus to AP. In the other hand, weapon with small bonus to AP has other benefit such as +15 att and +10 defense.

Here are the list of characters and their AP when maxed, from the fastest to the slowest:
Andrea 3 star 45
