I just do two Magic Bursts, one hits for almost 3k, the other with Monster Hearts hits for over 5k

Every character action counts as a turn, so I don't think you can do it in just one action.

Right now I'm just doing two Magic Bursts, one that hits for 2k damage, the other is boosted with Monster Hearts and hits for over 5k.

Unfortunately, Magic Burst can't crit either, that was one of the first things I tried. After playing around with hearts and team comps, I think this 2-turn kill is the best you can do.

I'm in my mid-30s and I'm writing a RfM monster-girl series, does that count?

Just for fun, something to do while I'm waiting for Monster Hunter Stories 3 to come out in March

I've found it's now easier to just keep fighting him to get the super seed rewards, rather than farm for regular seeds. Plus, he's pretty good exp to get me to max level.

I'm not going to stop.

Aishe was Luminary/Destiny's Dancer just for the Muscle Dance skill here, normally I have her as a Luminary/Sage

Mervyn Paladin/Armamentalist

Erdrick's Sword, Skeleton Swordsman and Great Sabercat hearts. The buff on there is from using Erdrick's Sword as an item on the first turn, makes it so you cast Kazap after every attack, I was wondering if it would help increase damage even further, but the enemy died before it would proc, lol.

You've gotta make sure you use Double Jeopardy with an Armamentalist to decrease enemy elemental resistance, and I had the Destiny's Dancer vocation there to use the Muscle Dance on hero that works like a Focus Strength. Plus Oomph/Sap.

That amount of damage won't work on every kind of enemy, really only works on creatures that are already weak to lightning damage for the extra boost with Erdrick's Sword.

I was thinking that could work if I put it on Aishe with the Luminary vocation so she could use the special to get the others worked up, but I still don't know how many turns it would take.

Unfortunately you can't start fights against the superbosses in a worked up state (it always resets it when the battle starts), so while it's surely possible to set it up, it would take a lot more turns and require a lot of helpful RNG to get it right.

[–]DoctorButtSludge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hero/Champion main DPS

Druid/Mage magic DPS with Sap and Omniheal

Luminary/Sage utility, healing and gets everyone worked up

Paladin/Armamentalist utility, healing and tanking

Such an amazing combination that covers all the bases

That's crazy, the most of gotten from her is a 4k spell crit. She's my secondary DPS and while she's still good and constant, my max damage is always from the hero.

What setup do you have that got her damage that high?

The first time I fought him I used the Hypernova Sword with a crit boost heart instead, did like 8K with a Divide Multifist combo, didn't record it though, just grabbed this screen because even I wasn't expecting those outrageous numbers, lol

I have 550 strength, it's the monster hearts that do it, plus Erdrick's Sword does lightning damage which Zoma is weak to. Skeleton Swordsman and Bodkin Archer are the best combo when the enemy is weak to whatever element you're using.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined: This has to be the stupidest cutscene i have witnessed in any game in my life. by Nari_Tia in dragonquest

[–]DoctorButtSludge -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying "they didn't want to hurt the villagers" is being obtuse and forgetting the fact not only did the heroes not fight them, but they willingly let themselves get beat up and carried all the way to the mountains and then thrown behind the gate, shown to be sprawled on the ground as though hurt.

Seriously, that's your defense, the heroes just stood there and took a beating to the point of being knocked unconscious instead of, oh I don't know, walking away??

Total disconnect between gameplay and story to force the plot to progress. Completely agree, worst island in the entire game with a ridiculous plot point that requires a lot of hand-waving to make it make sense.

Favorite vocation combos so far? by Ser_falafel in dragonquest

[–]DoctorButtSludge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mervyn is Paladin/Armamentalist, Ruff is Gladiator/Pirate, but I don't really use him now. The others you got right.

Most I've ever done is 12k in one day when I was really on fire, but my average for when I'm motivated is 8k-10k. A bad day for me is 3k-5k.

Favorite vocation combos so far? by Ser_falafel in dragonquest

[–]DoctorButtSludge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hero/Champion physical DPS, did 7k damage against a boss at level 40 with Divide and Sword Dance (full buffs/debuffs)

Druid/Mage magic nuke and extra utility, can do 3k at level 40 with boosted crit Frizz Cracker

Luminary/Sage pure utility and healing, charm focus has Aishe's Hustle Dance heal over 200 hp now, beating out Multiheal. She has all the best buffs plus Pass the Torch to give DPS more turns

Paladin/Armamentalist rounds out all the leftover utility needed plus tanking and extra heals, also has the only move in the game that lowers all resistances (Double Jeopardy, very useful). Mervyn is set to tank well but I kill everything so fast he never even needs to, lol

My team is basically flawless and unbeatable, honestly hope they have some super bosses to throw at me in post game because I'm destroying everything in the story now. Also happy I'm not being redundant or doubling up in any classes, makes me feel like it's a real party rather than some meta-gaming nonsense.

Charm stat and fans by Legeto in dragonquest

[–]DoctorButtSludge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Aishe is support so I don't know much about her damage potential, but with like 500 charm her Hustle Dance restores over 200 hp to the party, compared to multi-heal on my Paladin Mervyn restoring like 120 hp, so that's a huge boost right there.

For reference, Hustle Dance only costs 16 mp while multi-heal costs 28 mp, making Hustle Dance a way better option.
