I'm asking out of pure curiosity. Is it theoretically possible to stack an absurd number of charge shots onto the Royal Jelly, enough to kill it outright and smash through all three phases in one detonation? Or do the phase changes present a maximum damage cutoff?

Because that would be awesome.

Related question:
Do Neutralizer charge shots stick to Vanaduke across phases? I don't really have any intention of getting one, but I can imagine it potentially making the last phase a cakewalk if they do.

Short answer...

Is it theoretically possible to stack an absurd number of charge shots onto the Royal Jelly, enough to kill it outright and smash through all three phases in one detonation?

Or do the phase changes present a maximum damage cutoff?

YES

Do Neutralizer charge shots stick to Vanaduke across phases?

-----------------------

Regardless of changing phases in a boss fight, the charges themselves only last for 20 seconds so there is a finite limit to the maximum number of charges one player can stick to target before you are just replacing the ones that disappear...

On a side note, each charge is a shot, so technically you would not be one-shoting him.

I want to try this, since

I want to try this, since I've been doing JK with a virulent catalyzer lately. Could be interesting to test--maybe if all 4 has the charge stacking, one explosion would blow JK straight into the crownless spin. I'm kind of confused about what you mean by 'three stages', though. I thought there's the crown stage and the non-crown stage? What's the 3rd one?

@Myllakka

There's three stages of Royal Jelly.
First one is the crown stage, second one, his crown becomes cracked, third one, he's crownless.

And I want to try this since I have a Toxic Catalyzer...
Get 4 people with Catalyzers to spam charge shots at him and then have one person blow it all up :P

The jelly king -> spin phase

The jelly king -> spin phase can theoretically be compared to vanaduke -> mask phase. Even if the whole team had VH CTRblitz needles, were wearing full Shadowsun armor, and all had 2 Gun damage bonus trinkets, and released their charges on poor old vana at the same time, he would not die immediately (yes I know even this would not do enough DMG to meet the total amount needed to kill the fool). Same could be said about JK I THINK. If everyone had biohazards with a CTR max, then even tough the damage would be greater that JK's health (about 15 charge shots per person MAX since they last only 20 seconds (9 MAX per person with catalyzer CTR med.) This means that a party with the OP bio's could technically put 60charges on the gelatinous king. (DAMN!!!) This would do about (200 (DMG per charged shot) * 60 = 12k DMG.) This is a guess, though. Based off of toxic cata doing 126 DMG per charged shot on JK).
(Skip to here f you don't want to be confused)
Answer? No, you cannot KO JK with the awesomeness known as the Biohazard.

Oh yeah, just for fun, max

Oh yeah, just for fun, max DMG bonus on blitz on the charge would be about 220 (194 with VH DMG bonus). 220 * 15 (number of shots) * 4 (number of people) = 13,200 DMG.
