Thread: [Event 34] Crucible of Combat vs The Demon Greed (Union Event)

Thanks Belial and 100 burst buff on day1.

This is without Shingen's buff, by the way. Just turn1 during Burst Hour. I also haven't yet checked from calc which is better for me to use with Belial, 45% Elem Fafnir or 40% Char. I'd assume Fafnir since 100% Atk from Union buff, which I assume to be Char atk.

Considering how this is "just" three SSRs, no Shingen buff, no double Belial and -45% Def (-35% for the Soul burst)... I wonder just how high a single burst turn can go?

EDIT: Changed forum own upload into imgur, since the forum's own images are pitifully small.

The +atk buff in union events is indeed character side.

Adding Shingen's buff would just turn your burst multiplier from (X + 1.5) to (X + 3) (where X depends on rarity), as +300% is the current cap on +burst buffs.
If you want theoretical damage records, you'll need to face a boss that can enter stun. A kamihime like Tyr with a maximal damage against stunned enemies buff will triple their burst damage. So right now, probably a Shingen/Tyr or Shingen/Ea combo.

In the future? Consider something like Siegfried (Sniper Shot)/Ea/Oceanus/Athirat/Ryu-oh. Athirat has a stacking party-wide burst damage buff. Siegfried's maximal damage buff is actually a 3.5 multiplier for bursts (instead of 3 for kamihime). Oceanus is just there for having that same maximal damage buff. Then you try to hit -50% def through Sniper Shot/Ryu-oh and... that dark SR eidolon that can be exchanged for, I guess?
A lot of waiting will be necessary to set it up though. Athirat's buff is +30% at a time, every 3 turns. The +burst cap is +300% until sometime in August, then +500% afterwards. So if you rely strictly on that buff, it'll probably take an impossibly long time to hit the cap.
Realistically, you'd try this during a union event on a day with +150% from grails. Try for a few stacks if you can, but unleash the pain before you die.

Alternatively, you can replace Oceanus with the water variant of Freya. She can confer +burst damage to a single ally (apparently water has both of the kamihime that can buff someone else's burst damage). This version of Freya can also confer a buff on an ally to raise the soft damage cap on bursts.
For bursts, after 1 million, damage attenuation kicks in. Excessive damage beyond that gets reduced to 10% (so a 2 million becomes 1 million + 100k = 1.1 million). Freya's buff would raise the soft cap from 1 million to 1.25 million (or 1.4 million after lv 45). 6 turn cooldown and 3 turn duration, so you'd expect her to only be able to buff one (pick Siegfried).

That 1m is per unit, yes? So we're talking about 5m + full burst bonus? How much is the burst bonus anyway.

Yea, that's 1 million per unit.

Burst streak damage is (sum of burst damage this turn) * {1 / (7 - #_of_bursts)}
So if it's a full burst? That's (sum of burst damage this turn) * (1 / 2), ie another 50% on top of things.

So if you hit exactly 1 million per unit with all 5 units, that's 5 million, plus a full burst streak damage of 2.5 million, for a total of 7.5 million. That is assuming that burst streak damage doesn't have its own soft cap.

dem jewels though. for whom are you saving?

Actually, wait, I was incomplete with the burst streak damage. It's also supposed to be affected by elemental advantage, so stick another 1.45x multiplier in there if applicable. There's also a possible +burst streak damage bonus, but that comes from eidolons we're definitely not using here.
So that 2.5 million should become 3.625 million if we're hitting weakness.

Oh, so that's how it works. Thank you~

Highest I've ever done was 4m with full burst using Seigfried but that was with my light team back during the dark union event, so no 100% eidolon. I'm sure a funded thunder team could break 10mil total if this boss had a rage bar or on a water one using Siegfried, awaken Tyr, several other ssrs and double Kirins.

10m would mean... 6m damage, pre-burst bonus? That's the same as doing 15m if the cap wasn't there.
