Need to adjust gun/rocket damage against legendary bosses

[I AM HIM]

title, legendary rocket doing only 200 dmg per rocket is terrible, and was def not worth the time/resources to get and make the weapon. I thought it would atleast chunk em a bit more, like 1k dmg to the boss, but honestly just sitting around watching your pal run in circles is still way faster, lmao.

you're meant to take them on strategically. attacking at night with super effective elemental rocket brought a legendary down to half health in one shot for me.

thats boring, there's no point to that esp when you have them on farm for schematics/perks. but w.e

[Derek Paksa]

that's why it's called legendary Pal. It's boring if you can fire 10 rockets to kill Jetragon with that 1k dmg.

...did you also invest in your ATK and bring Vanguard pals and be riding an elemental mount (e.g. Chillet or Ragnahawk will also give +100 ATK when you're mounted)? ATK stat scales your weapon damage multiplicatively.

That said, if you're looking for just schematics, freeze + rocket still works via launching into the air for massive fall damage. I've been able to kill the Paladius and Necromus pair with a single Blizzard Spike + a single rocket when they're close to each other. That's obviously not conducive to capture, but I'm more interested in the schematics and if I *wanted* to breed them I do already have a male/female pair of each.

Pals are always going to be able to out damage the player. That's literally the entire point of the game. Even with a full team of vanguard 4 star gobfins, you're still going to be out damaged by proper use of a Pal party if it has element advantage.
And when I say proper use, I mean actually swapping out things. For example, vs Jetragon, if you had say, five frostallions that is five blizzard spikes or crystal wing attacks in a short order of time. Cooldown is PER PAL. From my recent studies, 150 base attack, a full team of 5 gobfins with vanguard, and eating a mozzarina cheeseburger, the new legendary single shot rifle, which has 2310 attack. I only did 228 damage on a headshot vs jetragon.
Meanwhile, a single frostallion hit that same jetragon for 1.3k damage using blizzard spike. Swap that out 5 times, and that's literally 60% of the jetragon's hp gone in barely 10-20 seconds. players simply cannot hope to outdamage Pals even with max DPS setup.

The lawnchair is to stun the bosses for some breathing room.

no, that's false. If you have 5 gobfins, you're doing it wrong. You want 4 gobfins and an attack mount. Just shoot from frostallion.

No, it's true. If you think you have to stick to just using a single pal in combat, rather than swapping them out, YOU are doing it wrong. You get five slots for a reason. And using four gobfins plus a flying mount is still going to be less damage than what I said.

it's not a flying mount, it's a damage mount. Gobfins only give a 20% boost to attack, but an attack mount gives a 100% boost to damage. You don't understand the attack build at all.

And you don't understand how to swap pals effectively in battle at all then.

Nah. I'll stick to my superior strategy. Which also does not require resources other than food.

[Plague]

you need to combo it with pals that can add elemental damage to weapons, so many people here dont realize thats how the game was designed
