At 3 star this item multiplies its output 30.4x over the star below. Most items roughly double.

Every number comes from one 28 second fight on day 8, with this item alone on the board against a passive opponent, averaged over 5 seeds. There are no perks, no slot upgrades and no other items, so these numbers show the item on its own and not what it does on a full tower.
