Test results of Alien Aisha Sceptre in one-player battledome...500 uses:
HUGE thanks to xxxx for letting me borrow it for my tests

Weak hit (10 icons): 167/500 (33.4%)
Strong hit (16 icons): 154/500 (30.8%)
Healing (8 hp): 179/500 (35.8%)
NOTE: Weak hit is 4 fire, 6 dark...Strong is 6 Fire, 10 Dark
QUIRK: If you are hurt by less than 8 hp when it tries to heal you, it does nothing (doesn't go ahead and heal you to full)
SUMMARY: Again, taking margin for error into account, I'd say the odds are even for each effect.

Test results of Ancient Hourglass in one-player battledome...500 uses:
Thanks to pacific_angel232 for letting me borrow it for my tests.

Freeze = 129/500 (25.8%)
NOTE: Hourglass attacks with 5 earth icons...when it freezes, it disappears for the remainder of the battle.
NOTE: The Hourglass IS considered a freezing weapon, so cannot be equipped with hypno helmet, freezing potion, terror stone, ice dice, frost cannons, etc.
SUMMARY: I'd say the actual odds of a freeze are 1-in-4 with the additional 0.8% being the result of natural fluctuations in testing.
