With the new Jelly piercing damage, I thought it would be prudent to invest in a set of Chroma armor. With both the helm and the armor, though, I still take three bars of piercing damage on the fourth strata, e.g. the Jelly Palace! I think that's a little much...
Am I crazy, or is something not working right?
I was using Fused Demo Suit, but that was before the update. I must have just been taking normal damage.
Curse you, split damage!
I have Azure cobalt set with the exception of my shield (which is there t4 version) I have only upgraded to t5 recently but I have noticed no difference in difficulty before and after the update. If anything it seems a little bit easier.
The Cobalt series has significant piercing resistance don't know how it compares to the virulisk or chroma series.
If you go based on the bar at level 10 Azure Guardian and Deadly Virulisk has the same Normal and Piercing defense. Virulisk has the added bonus of a damage increase against slimes, though.
What armor were you using before? Chroma is 3* armor, so it's going to be extremely limited in its usefulness. I still have yet to take my Deadly Virulisk armor to the RJ levels, but I don't doubt it will serve me well.
