Sporeshot's damage bonus is always the same on Mortar, Shockwave, and Backfire

The trait is providing the full bonus because it drains the entire clip when using the planted attacks.
This is alot clearer when comparing it to another cannon with equal stats.
As seen in these screenshots - Sporeshots damage is significantly higher than matching conditions on other cannons.

Sporeshot at max level, no gems, this cannon is light
Shockwave with a full clip

Shockwave with one shot


Beakon of Hurt at max level, no gems, this cannon is also light
Shockwave with a full clip

Shockwave with one shot

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding! I always considered that the damage bonus depends on the number of ammo before attacks and hadn't carefully confirmed this, but now I realized that the damage bonus seems to depend on the number of ammo after attacks.

Yeah the wording on the trait is a bit unclear.


The shots themselves don't actually have the damage bonus applied when fired, and instead when they land.
The current is also pretty misleading as it sounds like the damage buff and debuff only applies to the shots, when they actually apply to all damage you deal.
It ideally should say something more like "Your damage is reduced. But the less ammo held in clip, the more damage you deal."
