I made a topic like this some time before but cannot recall what it was called or where it was. So I guess I will ask again.

With...

The following skills applied within the same instance,
* Frenzied Firestorm
* Disintegration Ray
* Virulent Quills
* Valkyrian Aura

The following bonuses,
* Damage Bonus Maximum (source: armor,helmet & shield bonuses)
* Damage Bonus vs Construction Maximum (source: unique variants)
* Sword Damage Bonus Med (source: perk)

The following item applied within the same instance,
* Ranger Signal Flare

And the following weapon,
* Divine Avenger (Heat Level: 10)

What is the greatest amount of damage that can be done in one hit from a charged attack from a Divine Avenger to an enemy from the construction family at Depth 28 or beyond without killing it in that one instance?

I chose the Divine Avenger with reasons.
* Of the three types of weapons, swords are usually the strongest within the appropriate situations.
* According to the Wiki, there is no rapier in game that can cast such a deadly blow in one sword stroke.
* There may not be enough shadow-vulnerable enemies that will wait for the Acheron or Grand Faust to charge.

Damage bonus max is enough, cause it stops growing after reaching max. however pet skills and recon flare may help exceed the max.

What he said. Damage bonus is damage bonus. It doesn't matter if it's sword damage bonus, or damage bonus vs [family], if your damage bonus is max, that's it. Which is why using Chaos set (bonus VH) makes any Damage Bonus Ultra wasted.

/thanks Greedygreen

I do not dabble in Bonuses and UVs often so I was curious of this. That and the fact actually left my mind at the thought of how much damage can be dealt in a single blow.

your thread

I found your thread for you after a few seconds of Google searching. FYI, my query was "arelic maximum damage site:forums.spiralknights.com".

http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/92288

That thread includes commentary from forum regulars, links to spreadsheets, etc. --- that is, valuable information.

Also, valkyrian aura does not affect damage, and I doubt virulent quills have Strong poison. You also neglected the Damage Bonus pickup (30 seconds), which actually DOES stack with damage bonus: max

If you use a signal flare, that's a death mark, so it drops defense down to zero. That means there's no point of poison, since that lowers defense and defense can't be negative. What you need is:

-Damage bonus MAX
-recon signal flare
-deadly shadow cloak
-frenzied firestorm
-attack bonus pickup
-CTR max DA (only way to get a charge off before Cloak buff wears off)
-depth 29, vs a grave scarab in Apocrea

That gives you a monster with 0 defense, and an attack with dmg bonus max + cloak buff + firestorm buff + attack bonus buff. That SHOULD be the highest you can get.

Btw, this must be done in a very specific order and with incredibly presice timing, because the bonus from Cloak only lasts 3 seconds, and when you uncloak it cancels all other inactive buffs. that means you have to uncloak, charge, pick up an attack buff, and have someone drop a firestorm and a signal flare all within about 2.5 seconds so the attack has time to go off. But since you can get to 1k dmg by using dmg max + cloak buff on depth 24, on D29 I imagine you could get close to 2k. :o

@Batabii

While I did not recall what I asked precisely, the aura was to help with the timing of the charge in case that should become an issue.

@Bopp: Thanks. I gathered that it had been by some other name but I could not figure what that may be.

my 2 cents

I lurked the forum for the flash sales and thought I'd drop a 2 cents here

Some of you know I run a lot of vana (and by a lot, I mean... more than you can possibly think) and we've had the discussion of: How much is the max dmg you can do to vana with a Blitz?

The maximum we got it to is 509 per bullets but it can be higher than that. It was lacking the Ranger flare and a high psn status (and attack powerup)

Venom Veiller, Disintegration Ray, Frenzied Firestorm and Deadly Shadow Cloack achieved it.

From a pure estimation standpoint, you could go pas 600 dmg with a high psn status and a recon flare and that settup. Maskeraith Deadly Shadow Cloak is a % buff over all your buff so it stacks wayyy higher than normal. Psn low and disintegration = 336 per bullets, 289 normally.... :\

Turn-Me-On

@Klipik It can be an Acheron,

@Klipik It can be an Acheron, not necessarily a DA. Since defense is 0, dmg type doesnt matter.

Also, shadow lairs might yield better results?

Shadow lairs don't go to D29.

Sir-Pandabear

From what I've gathered, every depth in a Shadow Lair is D30, but don't quote me on that one.

@Batabii
"and I doubt virulent quills have Strong poison"

Believe it or not, that doesn't keep it from being the fact.

My data supports the D30 for all depths of a shadow lair as well.
