I just failed my attempt at 9-99 but the sheet thinks I should be able to beat up to 9-140! Even assuming absolutely terrible luck that can't possibly be true.

It seems fine to me. Before, there was one parentheses missing so it ended up only giving 1 second of Auto & Click DPS after you reached FB (last 25% of HP).

Maybe you are mistaking "average luck" to mean you probably won't lose before that stage. In reality, for the 20/30/40+ stages leading up to your max (even an avg max), you are likely to fall into a few strings of bad luck where you will lose many times in a row or more than once for several mobs in a row, followed by beating a few to several stages first try. But that's just statistics.

Example: Increasing 50 waves in tier 20 will add 6T HP. But the dmg I do during my ability cycle can vary by 10-20T... rarely even as much as 30-40T! (The latter comparing best ~1% of attempts vs worst ~1% of attempts.) And how much dmg you do during the abilities is very important, because that determines if you make it to the last 25% of HP with enough time for FB to mop up the rest or not.

With something that has such a high variance as series, it's often hard to relate what one is experiencing at any given point to a true 'average'. I'm pretty confident the calc is almost entirely at that average. Any small difference would be due to the calc not using not converting speed to dmg above the "speed cap" during abilities. But it just increases the speed more, which should have no real (or at least huge) effect on total dmg calculations. (And btw I started working on trying to get that speed conversion into the calc the past couple days, but i don't want to implement it until I can get it to match up with the game.)

I'll keep an eye on series, though. But it seems really good to me now. Better than it's ever been (since pet map introduced FB, at least).
