Bat Bat vs Tentacle Spike
The verdict
With crit factored in, Tentacle Spike puts out 59.4 DPS against 56.2 for Bat Bat — about 6% more damage per second. Base hits are Bat Bat 36 vs Tentacle Spike 20, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Tentacle Spike swings faster at a 21-tick use time versus 40, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
