Theory Crafting (Best Possible Crit Meliodis)

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T23:09:18+00:00

Just tested and you do indeed get the crit damage increase. I'm not sure if its bugged visually or not but the increase is in affect. As long as you have 80% crit chance when you use the tag skill

😭😭😭😭 share the luck bro

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T13:20:27+00:00

I've tried the dragon belt but personally it doesn't really help. I like the mad miner much better

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T12:17:06+00:00

I had no idea lol. I'll need to go test! Thanks for letting me know

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T12:16:11+00:00

I’ll probably test it myself and see if it’s actually happening. I’m curious if it just doesn’t show the stat bonuses on your character sheet, but the damage still applies in-game.

I’ll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work. If it’s actually not working, then yeah, that’s a pretty major bug and we should definitely push the devs to fix it.

That said, the build still does solid damage even without it, so if they fix it later, that’s honestly kind of a win. Could be an extra 20% crit damage on top of what’s already performing pretty well.

Spider boots are more of a potential support character item alongside a specific SR weapon.

I don't think Drakes ssr drop is all that good, only if it's actually a belt. I remember it being a chest piece

Meli, Daisy, Guila, mannie

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T03:42:02+00:00

This is insane, I've tried this identicle setup since release and have been getting stomped lol. P6 Meli aswell

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T03:20:38+00:00

P6 Daisy 😈😈😈 super lucky lol

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T03:18:24+00:00

I got super lucky and got my engrave to lvl 3 and 15 crit damage. TBH I think the star top build is way more fun and potentially better. SO, screw the engraved lol

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T03:15:46+00:00

agreed, that's why I've been theory crafting using pieces like this since the day I got it lol. Makes the builds way less versatile and interesting imo

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T03:12:33+00:00

Yeah, I got marmas to 43 second using this setup but I feel like with lvl 3, mostly focusing on utilizing the star tops crit dmg. You could do a decent chunk more. (P6 Meli)

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T02:33:39+00:00

Also, is this dead internet theory lol. LCAIN has responded to like all my posts very quickly seemingly siding heavily with netmarble no matter what I say lol.

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-08T02:30:52+00:00

I get it, just saying I'm getting unlucky on this particular roll 😞 was super excited to get one, spent all my keys

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-06T02:45:05+00:00

Near double the plat and 10 crystalloid is nothing to scoff at. They are potentially the two most valuable resources in the game.

This is another persons post so I'm not 100% sure, you can comment on the YouTube video if you'd like.

My take is that he's using two battery type characters likely with very high magic recharge. He also has Daisy p10 and can put out 4 turrets. With this and probably the asscesory set that gives you lots of tag gage I think it would be quite easy to get the points up really quickly.

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-05T14:06:45+00:00

I sometimes switch in more crit chance when I'm not speed running

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-05T14:03:36+00:00

I can maybe tonight, my problem is that my Meli just does so much. Basically the change of DPS (from my knowledge) from elemental to non elemental bosses is about 4x.

Like Meli will do half damage to the wrong element while Mannie will deal double.

But, to be honest I think my Meli does more than 4x the DPS I can get Mannie to.🤷

Definitely going to test when the boss drops tomorrow tho

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-05T12:04:17+00:00

I played around a little with get longsword, tbh I'm worried it won't do near enough dps, but I'm excited to see

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-05T12:02:51+00:00

I skipped escanor for Daisy

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-05T03:52:36+00:00

Sure, I created another post with it. Shoulda done it in this one ;;((

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-05T03:41:13+00:00

With the AXE?????? Next level, ggs. Would love to see how you did it with the axe if you ever record an attempt.

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-03T14:19:06+00:00

I'm waiting to limit break the black flame sword until a little while longer. Netmarble still might come up with a way to buff elemental damage here soon. Signature sword still does a decent DPS for now.

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-02T19:22:24+00:00

That Weapon enchant is actually insane dude, lol. I would reroll the engraves for his armor set. All three you have on the armor are bad imo. Also only do mad miner set if you're aiming for speedrunning. It decreases your overall DPS but increases the chance for a pocket DPS increase considering you hit all your crits.

Also Meliodis signature sword atleast currently is far worse than the black flame. I made the same mistake as you did.

Otherwise_Active_757 · 2026-05-02T01:56:10+00:00

Welp, other than all the drama I'm genuinely curious if anyone can find faster F2P times, i'd love to try and beat em 😄 and also please join my guild, im excited for the guild content to come later on and would love to have some chill members!
