What's Ending This Week:

Informational Use the Iron Fist Relic with Madelyne Pryor

Thumbnail
youtu.be
53 Upvotes

I went and did some testing, comparing Madelyne Pryor’s damage output between her without a relic, her with a Ghost Rider relic, and her with an Iron Fist relic.

As far as variables are concerned, both relics were 3*s at max rank and level, and an Innate value of 100. If you use battlecasts of higher rarity, they will perform even better - these ones were chosen so they could be fairly compared to one another.

How Madelyne’s degeneration effect works: Madelyne’s degeneration effect does not (strictly) deal a fixed amount of damage. Her degeneration effects scale proportionally to the negative difference in buff potency when a buff with reduced potency is triggered.

Thus, Madelyne’s gameplay loop is to inflict her personal Misery buffs on the opponent when they are over The Pit (a region created by her SP2). While the opponent is over the Pit, they are hindered (a condition that reduces buff potency); so any buff the opponent gains while hindered inflicts a degeneration effect based on how much buff potency was lost due to the condition.

The two relics, Ghost Rider and Iron Fist affect Madelyne’s degeneration in different ways: the Ghost Rider relic buffs the degeneration damage, while the Iron Fist relic further reduces the potency of the opponent’s buffs by a flat amount.

Looking at Madelyne’s degeneration activations with 3 Misery buffs active (a rather simple and consistent place I could use to benchmark her) the Ghost Rider relic increased the damage per tick by 19 points (once again, 3 relic). Similarly, the Iron Fist relic increased the damage per tick by 39 points - almost double the effect of the Ghost Rider relic.

The Iron Fist relic has another perk over the Ghost Rider relic as well - since it reduces all the buff potency on the defender, you do not have to wait for the opponent to be hindered (or over The Pit) to start dealing degeneration damage to them. That said, these aren’t huge degeneration effects - the majority of Madelyne’s damage is going to come from degens under her hinder effect… but all DPS is utility, so you might as well take advantage of that free damage.

Plus, the Iron Fist battlecast at higher rarities can have a rune that increases Madelyne’s block proficiency, which is great to help you keep her force field active longer.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. :)

Double track notification icon

24 Upvotes

Am I hallucinating or is the number on the double-track notifications thing getting larger? It seems to have climbed from 3 to 5, and I can’t see anything on there I haven’t claimed…

Fully recognise this is not a massive issue, but wow it’s annoying.

Apex Coliseum Boss #2: Korg, Megathread

41 Upvotes

Boss #2 for this round of Apex Coliseum is now live!

Boss: Korg

Nodes:

  • Coliseum Prompt: 3 Mediums or 5 Lights
  • Hardest Rock Shield: Rock Shield always reforms with at least 5 charges
  • Temporal Physical Override: All of the Attacker's attacks are overridden to be contact and deal Physical Damage. When the Defender is about to be struck by a Heavy Attack, this override is disabled for 20 seconds, paused during the Attacker's Special Attacks.
  • Standing Tall: When the Defender is knocked down by a Special Attack, they gain a 5% Inexorable Passive for 8 seconds
  • Enhanced Parry (Slow): When the Attacker performs a Parry, the Defender is inflicted with a Slow Debuff for 15 seconds

Reminders:

  • You can only use Champions tagged specifically for this fight
  • You will earn 2 points per health bar cleared, up to 80 max
  • Completing this boss and the previous boss earns enough points for the Stellar Forged Green Goblin piece

Please use this thread to discuss your options, questions, etc! If you are showing off a good option, try to be detailed about your loop and why you found them effective, this context is useful to others looking for help!

I don't know about you guys but a simple "claim all rewards" and automatically pick the best reward by rank or scarcity would be a huge QOL to this game. That's all folks.

This is the crystal selector from the recent alliance war compensation. It looks like the valiant reward is claimable. This is just a preview and I’m only a paragon. If I were to actually claim it could I actually claim the valiant rewards? It does have the paragon logo.

Discussion Worst Fights in Act 9

3 Upvotes

Wondering what people think are the worst fights in Act 9, now i dont mean the hardest fights, because for me that would be 9.3.6 doom, but it isnt a bad fight, just a hard one. The worst fight for me was the 9.4.3 Arcade boss, he felt totally unfair and i felt like i needed a champ with so many specific things to be able to beat him without revives. Any other fights you guys felt were just straight up rubbish?

For the second week in a row, every time you click on a free item, it refreshes the page and brings you back to the top, forcing you to scroll back down to claim your next free item. Not a big deal, but very annoying. I was hoping that a new week meant an update, since I’ve seen they added Zola Ascension box, but no.
