OH! I Love the cape section being added. And Food. Looks like food section is missing attack foods though.
Checking spreadsheet rq, For melee COR and NQ v.s NQ at least, surprisingly Carbonara seems to out perform or at least equal to behemoth steak if attack is not capped. Melee COR really really benefits from STP.
Carbonara also has MUCH bigger HP boost than steak, so it kinda compensate melee COR's biggest weakness which is survivability.
I can check ranged DD situations but personally I would suggest carbonara for meleeing if acc is capped.
