Thread: [Event 37] Crucible of Combat vs the Demon Sloth

Well, managed to semi-afk kill level 101 Ult Sloth. Without Kirin.


Method I've started using against high level Sloth:
1. Turn 1, apply Ambush and Sniper Shot, AB to turn 6.
2. Turn 6, Raiko's Atk down, damage cut, Gaia's damage cut, Thor's non-Para skills, execute turn, turn on AAB.

I need to pot at some point usually, depending on DoT resist luck. It's a bit annoying that I can't just pure AAB farm high level Sloths... I started bringing Gaia who cuts heavily into my damage output, but the Overdrives hurt way too much unless I cut them by 70%. Oh, sometimes Thor ruins the Raiko/Gaia combo with Paralyze on turn 7, but that just means that I win anyway.

Running 100 Atk, 100 Dbl, 35 Trpl, 30 Affliction, 100 Resist. Honestly, not sure if this build is any better than yesterday's 100 HP build. But it's hopefully much better for the weaker members of the Union.

Out of curiosity, do you know when the burst cap got raised/changed in the DMM version?

DMM's August 21 update raised the cap to 500%

Does that mean someone like Uriel is currently +buff burst cap'ed by her own abilities even with getting only like half her stacks on?

The skill Uriel has that buffs burst damage would still be bound by that cap
The trait of her burst attack that's something like deal extra damage based on number of stacks is technically not a buff to burst damage, so it would not be limited by that cap.
So Uriel has a way around that cap, so she's happy.

Conversely, someone like Metatron doesn't have a way to circumvent that cap, so she's not happy.

Fire Metatron would, in addition to the usual +burst damage buff, give herself a sneak attack buff to try to amplify damage that way (it affects normal damage, which in turn gets used for burst damage). Additionally, Fire Metatron's burst attack has a side effect of giving herself a burst damage upper limit buff. The wording seems to be the same used as another buff that's described as raising the soft damage cap (not the cap on +burst buffs). She's happier than normal Metatron at least.

I see. That is good info to have, thank you very much.
Will have to do some testing later. :>

my union has been really inactive so we currently have less than 50 expert kills and less than 60 ultimate kills, along with never even reaching 200 grails once....

add on the fact that the game is giving me EXTREME lag on top of this (chrome and firefox horribly sucks playing this, i need suggestions here), it's gonna be a rough ride....

lv30 expert without resist grail buffs is a cleanse nightmare, can't imagine lv30 ultimate under the same conditions (add on the fact that we only got 100 atk and about 50 HP atm....)

I dunno if this will work for you, but have you tried Opera browser?
I used to play on chrome but when it became too laggy for me to handle, I switched to opera and have never experience any lag since (except when I spend 100k gems on the gem gacha)

Did you try using Google Chrome 65 (Beta)?
