Jhav Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think this is my last post in the gigantic Sal hit theme-- you'll see why. I was inspired when I saw the "Does someone have try to play around Boat Anchor ?" thread - not to use Boat Anchor, but to use a high-cost card on Sal. See, I'd been using Footwork on Wind Up. It only goes to show what a terrible fool I am! If I was discarding a card - or multiple cards - with higher action costs, Footwork would give back a vast bounty of actions to dump into Cynotrainer. After a few non-starters, I got an absolutely stupid, stellar, crazy Veteran draft into an immediate Wind Up from Rake. And it kept getting better. More Footworks, more Exertions, and a handful of Slurry. I didn't get Feedback Loop, Spree Thieves and Adrenaline were sparse, and I could have used a second Crusher for every more juice, but I don't think I can complain when the final deck takes more than one screenshot. Kashio had no idea what was about to hit her. 2.19e19, That's just under 22 quintillion damage! Sadly, I cannot show you a screenshot of the hit landing, because... Oh. The maximum value of an unsigned long is about 1.84e19. Guess I figured out how much damage you can actually deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"you can only deal 18.4 quintillion damage without crashing the game" I'm suspecting that action cards are slightly broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaschDraws Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Listen I'll be the first to admit I'm bad at the game, but y'all really pulling some arcane sh** to be folding space time and dealing quintillions of damage LOL y'all out to kill Hesh himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "issue" here is the exponential growth of Cynotrainer. Not like this is a problem in normal play, since you need heavy curation of card packs and a stupid-good Veteran draft (and likely low prestige and other mutators so you don't die randomly on your attempt to style on the game) to truly exploit. You should not aim for it in normal play, nor will it ever happen, action cards or not. I mean, you can already go arbitrarily high with just 2 (boosted) Rummages and Wind up, 0 actions required. But you need the exponential growth of "doubling" to reach scientific notation numbers for the funny picture. I'm trying to figure out how many times you played cynotrainer here... 55-56 times? It depends on how much patience you have, and how many Rummage loops you did, but man I reeeeally don't see going that high with less than 54 cynotrainer plays. I count 49 actions, plus 1 per extra card you discarded with the 4 boosted footworks. Really tight margin there to get this crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacovf Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I guess the perk that makes people like you doesn’t check for that. Or else the guard is selected among smugglers you haven’t interacted with yet, and that perk doesn’t tag its targets. Something like that. Sounds like a bug.

Maniafig Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I once provoked and killed the card merchant in Rook's shop because they randomly hated me after I executed a Jake during an event.

You should not aim for it in normal play, nor will it ever happen, action cards or not. The exponential growth of Cynotrainer and the uncapped basic card damage. Most of the ways to increase damage are capped - power, wounds, overcharge, etc - so even with a silly setup they can't be launched into the stratosphere. But the printed number on the card is not limited at all. The low prestige was 100% needed on this run. I almost died several times because my deck was full of cards that I was unwilling to play before Kashio, and I'd get a couple turns every fight where my hand would be unplayable cards and Boosted Footwork. This was the reason the last few Footworks (and all but one of the Exertions) were Visionary instead of Boosted, as the deck would have been completely untenable if I had to spend even more time weathering the attacks of late Brawl enemies with zero defense. 7 hours ago, pacovf said: I'm trying to figure out how many times you played cynotrainer here... 55-56 times?

Though I had it at my disposal, I didn't loop Rummage into Rummage at all. They were used for free draw to get all the other cards into hand for setup, and to retrieve the Cynotrainer when spending down. I believe Cynotrainer was played 56 times: 6 Boosted Wind Up + 73 * 4 Wind Up discards + 4 King Hit + 3 power = 305 base damage * 2^56 Cynotrainer = 2.1977566e+19 final damage.

AYellowShadeOfB Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Do you like a screenshot dump? I like a screenshot dump! Ahem. Smoth. Pretty proud of this daily. Vicious sucks, but the Vrock was neccessary. Not a scratch and Hanbi (who has piercing attacks) are a brutal combo, though. Rescind + crass = crazy Kashio's just ringing at this point. Here's my best blacklist. Still prefer shovel, though. I did it. I'm a madman. I picked the "play with pet" option instead of training. If that doesn't qualify as insanity I'm not sure what does. I dislike brawl. I also love brawl. Sparky? SPARKY'S ALIVE! But then... how did I... get this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniafig Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 You can pick a victim several times, up to 4 times I'm pretty sure. That's why it's such a good mission if you have a strong combat deck, you could even hire someone in the Meat Market if you don't just because you'll easily recoup the costs of doing that and then some.
