How...how did they get so many buffs on one person?

I don't think I've ever done that much damage in a single turn.

If I had to guess, plugsuit shenanigans.

How limited am I going to be for doing things in Nerofest if my only max level servants are Caster Nero, Herc, Salter, Euryale, and Bunyan? :ohdear:

e: Also what does plugsuit refer to?

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!

Plugsuit is the Chaldea Combat Uniform. Nicknamed such for a passing resemblance.

And yes, you might not be able to do some of the challenge quests and you're obviously not gonna be able to farm nearly as hardcore as more established players.

That said, what you will be able to do will still be a great boost to your efforts to level up servants.

i don't understand how plugsuit really enables this unless you just do a maximum of 4 buffs

Plugsuit allows you to swap a servant into the backrow. While in the backrow, the buffs on them don�t expire, so the idea is you do a lot of shenanigans to ensure the person is always able to get maximum buffs

That is...actually impressive lateral thinking and use of the gameplay mechanics to just shatter the rules over your knee.

Well, by the time you finish doing that you�re about forty turns in and by being able to stall that long you would have been better of killing it the normal way. That�s just solely for getting big numbers for the sake of big numbers.

Here's an excellent example of someone making use of this exact strategy with Kojiro and Skadi.

Proof of concept is important, especially when testing the limit of what is possible in the game and the engine, and for figuring out better, faster ways to reach or exceed that limit.

Yeah, it is situational at best and pointless at worst, but it is still impressive.

Big Numbers can be their own goal every now and again.

See, look at this Cardboard Cutout laying waste to a boss in 3 turns of combat (with 30 turns of prep), in a game where people on this forum talk about using stall teams to eke out fights into triple digits.

Even just two stacks of double Merlin buffs will push buster crits to the 1M range, which only takes six turns of stalling.

There's a reason EoR introduced a new mechanic that makes it impossible to one round bosses.

which is why stuff like that kojiro video switched to using 3 turn buff stacking instead of 1 turn buff stacking :v:

I wouldn't consider that the main reason, given that you'd need to have your own Merlin to do it. I see it as a more general devaluing of one big number versus many small numbers. It also lowers the value of buster gorillas because a buster (brave) chain gives you very little on overgauge, while even slapping in a single arts at the end can be good for preparing to tackle the next break bar.

# ? Aug 28, 2019 19:04

klapman: Aug 27, 2012; this char is good

Speaking of buster gorillas, shoutout to my MVP Herc with Volumen Hydrangeum for singlehandedly pulling me out of the fire on every tough fight in Shinjuku. Generally I'd rather go with Enkidu as a last stand, but Herc doing endless Buster Brave chains is the absolute poo poo.

Just wait until you get his Bond CE. Then you have a 3-times Guts, plus your normal Guts, plus Evade. 5 turns of Herc bustering it up solves a lot of problems

Toss in the Atlas Academy uniform, and that's another invincibility charge, plus the cooldown reduction skill that could potentially let his Evade and/or Guts skill come back online sooner, and you'll truly understand why we say, "Berserker won't lose to anyone, because he's the strongest man in the world."

It's at least 4 sets of buffs because i count 7 hero creations so they had to get creative somewhere else as well.

Might've used a taunt character (most likely George) as a sacrifice to perform another swap.

So how many boxes is everyone trying for? My personal hope is 100, but I already know I won't have the perseverance to get that high, so hopefully anywhere between 50-60.

I would like at least 51 boxes to make sure I have enough gold gems for any SSR. I think if I got double that, I would be set for the whole year.

I haven't been saving apples and I started only in Feb so, however many I can! I plan to not let a single idle AP go to waste though. I'm thinking I miiiiiight even sink some quartz into this. I'm happy with my current roster of servants and the next one want, Hokusai, isn't until the new year apparently so it's not a dumb idea, right?

Usually it is an incredibly stupid idea to spend SQ on AP refills. The exceptions to this are the lotto events and hunting quests, because they have vastly better AP efficiency for your goals (lotto has an insane value for everything in it, while the hunting quests are usually pretty good about one specific material that day). I dunked about 90 SQ into Hunting Quest 3 and for that it halved my heart deficit and cleared my bone and gallstone deficit for my plans up to Hokusai. Lotto I plan on dunking about 120-130 SQ worth after I exhaust my apples, as my plan is 200 total boxes.
