I'm not a very rich player, so the price will only be 80k crowns.

Your objective is to post a video where you earn as much damage as humanly possible in Lockdown. Here's a video of my best, but I know you can do better if you go at it. Entries below my measly 72k will not qualify for prices.

I will also disqualify entries where you bug out the timer, but anything else goes. Get together with your friends try your best!

Yes, this is real. No, I'm not trolling, I just think it'll be fun.

Contest closes in four weeks, June 30th.

Notice that when I say that anything else goes, I expect you to rig the match. That's the point. It's an exercise in teamwork and friendship.

Question:

can I use photoshop or video editing?

@Krakob

Not for editing the score, no. That ruins the teamwork aspect of it. :<

Can I rig it?

@Dfliyerz

Yes, that's the entire point. It's a contest about who can be the best to rig it.

Also, I just realized that the highest score is going to be difficult to divide from a full team, so I'm raising the price to 80k. That's 5k per participant in an 8v8 match. 5k from a 10 minute match, guys!

Question about damage

Does doing damage someone has defense against:

-Net you more damage because you hit them more times
Or
-net you less damage because you do the same total damage?

And does doing damage the opponent has no defense against:

-net you more damage because you are doing more damage per hit
Or
-net you less damage because they take less hits to kill?

Or are they all the same? And what about Death Marks?

@Noklip

You can only do as much damage against a target as they have health. The optimal solution is to find a combination of defence and weapons that will bring your target to exactly 1 health as fast as possible, then have them go heal. In addition, you may your targets to be guardians and have them shield. Since you hit a shield several times depending on the amount of people present under the shield, you can deal a lot of damage at once by multihitting despite guardian shields have large amounts of defence.

Deathmarks nullify defence, which increases your damage. Damage has been shown to increase even for things like flourish against someone with seemingly no piercing defence. I suspect this is because everyone in LD has a certain amount of defence against all damage types.

Pretty sure each class has

Pretty sure each class has it's own bonus defences on top of armour, to some degree. Guardians, at least, get bonuses in basically everything, like their low:all-res bonuses.

Do I get bonus points for using a Winmillion?

@Aureate

If you win using only a Winmillion, I'll throw in a 5k Winmillion bonus price why not.

Whew

I sure am glad I don't have to give away my 80k to anyone. There's only two days left of this and no submissions.

I guess everyone on the forums are REAL LOCKDOWN PLAYERS since this contest for fake fockdown players has no entries.

ummmmm

Does T1 count? (Thelkiam, not me)

Zeddy

I don't have a frame of reference for what is an excessive amount of damage in T1, sorry. There's also no video, which is required for entry.

Maybe I'd try rigging something but that'd just make it take longer 'til you buy my Book... Oh wells, I'll see if I can perhaps do it tomorrow.

Question: does the damager have to be the cameraman?

Sorry, Flaame.

"Your objective is to post a video where you earn as much damage as humanly possible [...] Entries below my measly 72k will not qualify for prices."

It's possible earning more damage by doing higher tiers. If you had beat my 72k in T1 that would've qualified, though.

I'm extending the time limt on this until June 30th, as I get the impression there are some people still trying to do this.

Well I gave up, don't have the time :<

Some tips if anyone else is giving it a go:
Holding a charge removes invinciframes.
All knights have 100 base defence in everything, how can you remove it?
The highest DPS weapon in regular LD will change if you go with tip #1.
