"The type of strike the sphere receive seems to impact the damage each individual shot does. For instance, a normal sword/mace strke can do a fair amount of damage, while a strike from an attack that hits an opponent (or sphere) multiple times, such as Antler Toss or Full-Moon Slash will generate a huge number of projectiles with very little actual power behind them."

This is not my experience from either specific damage testing nor countless hours of playing MK and watching the damage bar on countless enemies. Full Moon Slash powers out more damage than a basic attack, however, if one sets multiple Great Cannons from a distance from one's target, damage is absorbed by the chain effect when orbs traverse from one GC to the next. Firing two GCs with FMS is devastatingly effective.
