In what scenario in this game do you want to disperse a mob you just collected.

Here’s what I think and I will be curious what others think. On the other hand, the stack added by an explosion is not used for itself.So I spent some gems on companions this ANB because I had mostly only used the Story companions. (To complicate matters: hit and explosion can critically hit independently and the hit can add a stack, which is in effect if the hit triggers an explosion. I had to record an auto-attack session with me repeatedly opening and closing the stat sheet as fast as I could, and review the recording frame by frame to see the damage increases, then knowing the theoretical damages of the hit and the explosion, try to see if there was a critical hit or not.

I must say that you have it easy: when I concluded (months ago) on the multiplicative nature of Tracer Ammo stacks, I had no Fire Lilly and the damage for Explosive Shot was given as a whole (not separated between hit and explosion as it is now). If you don't have a Fire Lily, repeatedly try to do one explosion only (with zero and max TA stacks) so you can separate regular and critical hits. The key parts are: a constant number of TA stacks, no weapon for no variations in base damage, a Fire Lily for no critical hits. Go to the Training Grounds (obviously), remove weapons, equip a Fire Lily, do some Explosive Shots, note the average AoE damage (or the total damage and the number of explosions, for a slightly more accurate result) then equip the Tracer Ammo passive, raise the stack to maximum (10 with a Havoc Hood, you can equip one for a bigger difference between additive and multiplicative stacks), stop attacking, reset the damage sheet, before stacks vanishes do some Explosive Shots, note the average AoE damage, conclude.
