Bat Bat vs Waffle's Iron
The verdict
With crit factored in, Waffle's Iron puts out 135.7 DPS against 56.2 for Bat Bat — about 142% more damage per second. Base hits are Bat Bat 36 vs Waffle's Iron 50, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Waffle's Iron swings faster at a 23-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.
For crowd control, Bat Bat hits with more knockback (5.5 vs 4.75), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
