How to compare combat scaling models with your AI

Connect your agent to the Damage Formula Calculator to run math simulations. It handles the heavy lifting of comparing different progression curves.

Short answer

How do I compare combat scaling models with my AI?

Feed your scaling variables and formulas to your agent. It uses the compare_formula_efficiency tool to run the math and show you which model hits your target power levels. You'll see exactly where one model outpaces the other.

The results of your simulation

What you get from the math

The AI processes your formulas and sorts the output into these specific outcomes.

DATA

Efficiency reports

The agent uses compare_formula_efficiency to generate a breakdown of how each formula behaves at different level caps.

TRENDS

Progression curves

You get a clear look at whether your power creep stays flat or explodes exponentially as players level up.

DECISIONS

Model selection

The AI identifies which formula stays within your design constraints, helping you pick the right math for your game.

HUMAN

Manual tuning

You take the AI's findings and manually adjust the coefficients or base values in your design docs.

The workflow

What your AI does when the formulas arrive.

Your agent takes your raw math and turns it into a comparative analysis.

  1. Ingest formulas

    Your agent reads the specific linear and multiplicative equations you provide.

    compare_formula_efficiency

  2. Run simulations

    The agent executes the math across a range of player levels to see how the numbers scale.

    compare_formula_efficiency

  3. Identify divergence

    The AI finds the exact point where one model starts to deviate significantly from the other.

  4. Summarize results

    The agent presents a plain English summary of which model fits your intended progression.

  • Compare a linear formula [base + (level * multiplier)] against a multiplicative one [base * (level ^ exponent)] using my spreadsheet.

  • Run a comparison of these two damage formulas using the data in my combat_stats.csv file.

  • Which scaling model is better for a level 1 to 50 progression: [formula A] or [formula B]?

  • Analyze the efficiency of these two scaling models based on the player level ranges in my design doc.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my game code directly?

    No. The AI only analyzes the formulas you provide. You must manually apply any changes to your game code.

  • 02

    Does the AI create visual graphs?

    No. The AI provides text-based analysis and numerical comparisons of the scaling behavior.

  • 03

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as your client is MCP-compatible, like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    Will the AI delete my design spreadsheets?

    No. The AI only reads the data to perform the comparison. It has no permission to delete or modify your files.

  • 05

    Do I need to provide the math in a specific format?

    It helps to be clear, but your agent can usually interpret standard algebraic notation if you provide it in your prompt.
