What's your Combo for High Damage?

[the_redrams]

I'm aiming to get the 'Nuclear' Badge (50+ damage). Before I knew of the existence of this badge, I managed to rack up to 60+ defense on my warrior, then my turn came to an end. On the next turn, I got the shield bash which allowed me to dish out 30+ damage (your defense gets halved the next turn), and allowed me to get the 30+ damage badge.

I am now trying to replicate this on my endless run. Pump the Warrior with defense and funnel it all to shield bash. I even have three Bulwark+. Still no luck (more on draw luck than anything). And there's no way for me to double the defense or double the damage of Shield Bash.

P.S. I already have the Focused Beam and I have a lot of add Willpower cards for my Occultist. Maybe I should just spam that.

What are your strategies?

I haven't done it yet, but I had a weapon that gave me HeartSeeker that has a base of 7 and does double damage to exposed enemies, the damage grows by one if you keep it in hand. That sounds promising.

I got the 50+ with Warlord/Occultist/Warrior, with the Warrior having a sword with Critical Strike on it and the legendary shield that gives you +1 damage for every 4 armor.

Just load up a huge chunk of armor, pile on some of the Occultist's effects that make an ally hit harder, same deal with the Warlord and its pretty easy to fire off a 50+ damage hit.

there is a power card card called follow up on hunter, with upgrade it gives +3 melee or magic dam for every ranged attack including attacks from things like rapid fire power or alchemist shatter arrow that counts each shot from it as a seperate attack. 1 shatter arrow with 4 cards in hand will give +12 damage, if you put this damage on a character with critical strikes that gives that card over 50 damage.

I had a Hunter with Infinite Quiver, Rapid Fire+, Rage+ x2, Volley Shot+ x2, Take AIm+ x2, Follow Up+ x2. I was fighting Planar and I was doing my combo, only to realize it was immune to Ranged. I cycled through my deck twice and hit it for 113 Magic Damage (3+110 bonus). If she had drawn Eldritch Grasp or Critical Strike it would have been even more.

It wasn't accidental by any means, more incidental, but I played Sacrifice on my Occultist against the frosty spider lich boss. A few turns sucking up all the chills, combined with my own self-debuffing cards brought me to 8 chill and 2 defenseless while holding Unleash. Not satisfied with just enough damage to wipe out everything in a small area, I found my Alchemist had Catalyst (thanks to the acid geyser random encounter), and played that to double my named effect stacks. A total of 20 negative effects blasted off through an upgraded Unleash, with -1 for chill, meant dealing 59 damage.

I think my best is just the double damage card with that long shot attack that gets 2 per square to the target.

I used Assassin/Warlord/Warrior. The Assassin had double damage, ~20 defense, shield bash.
