| − | The value of ''A'' in this formula is very sensitive to ''c'', and somewhat sensitive to ''s''. With unrealistically optimistic values of ''c'' = 0.5 and ''s'' = 1.00 (which requires modified stats over 340), the maximum is '''{{IL|Advance!|2.00 x}} per action'''. More realistically, an endgame-equipped player with 300 stats would have a success rate ''s'' = 72% against a base difficulty of 250, improved to ''s'' = 87% with a max-level general, giving '''1.75 to 1.88 Advance per action''', a slight improvement over Morale-based options. At these same success rates, if ''c'' is estimated at 1.00, these options give 1.40 to 1.45 Advance per Action, not as good as Morale-options. Overall, the efficiency of these options strongly depends on how you obtain the items they consume. | + | The value of ''A'' in this formula is is very sensitive to ''c'', and somewhat sensitive to ''s''.

'''Airs-Dependent Options''' give {{IL|Advance!|4 x}} on success, and {{IL|Ravages of Parabolan Warfare|1 x}} on failure. For a success chance of ''s'', the expected Advance per attempt is 4''s'', and the expected actions is the sum of 1 action for the attempt plus 1-''s'' from Ravages. The formula for Advance per Action is given below: | '''Airs-Dependent Options''' give {{IL|Advance!|4 x}} on success, and {{IL|Ravages of Parabolan Warfare|1 x}} on failure.
