I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, but i one shotted Simon lol

[Lucyfar]

Maelle solo, full glass cannon build (all damage increase luminas + first strike + cheater)

46 million damage without Roulette

Simon has 46 million health lol

first try i did only 44 million and he whooped my a$$

if you're struggling to kill Simon do this, i only had like 120 lumina points in my Maelle so you don't even have to invest in her, i used Lune, Monoco and Verso my whole playthrough.

i can edit this and post the full build later if anyone wants it, i think she was lvl 96 but levels don't matter much in this game

Is it only Maelle that can do the ridiculous damage?

What build? Just stack damage increasing lumina and use Stendhal in Virtuous stance. Maybe use Sciel's double damage buff too if you want. There's no strategy involved and it's way too easy to achieve this once the damage cap comes off.

I usually love breaking games, but any semblance of balance just completely flies out the window starting act3, which is honestly my biggest criticism. I actually refused to use Verso and Maelle simply because they far outclass the rest of the group and trivialize everything way too quickly.

So you found youtube video with broken oneshot build and oneshoted him? Is this some kind of achievement? Assuming 99.9% people did the same

[ichibut]

I'm gonna be more impressed if you didn't one shotted him.
I saw a vid where he just used parry all the way to beat him.
now that's more impressive.

I beat Golgra yesterday & couldn't believe the weapon you get... Maelle was already the oneshot queen, now she's hitting for 15mil+ first round, and that's with only half of the damage passives ^^

Yeah it's that simple, you find this stuff organically. It's this game's Yojimbo, hard to resist you lure once you get it. Does NG+ up enemy stats or is it just "you have instant victory at your fingertips whenever you like" from now on?

Apparently there is a nerf coming. Good luck to those who weren't fast enough.

There is no really any secret builds. Lot of people went full DMG + speed due them getting one shot early by optional bosses, and many players having high enough skills to press the dodge button once in a while obsoletes defense. Many people already had high damage stacked when act 3 started. When you reach act 3, there a 1 skill deletes all single target enemies with 1-hit, another multi-target skill was still good enough to remove most non-boss enemies with a single hit. Only question is how many were unlucky enough to not have a weapon, which gives free virtuous stance.

You can do something similar with Verso but its a lot of minmaxing and it wont have as high dmg as Maelle but is enough to solo Simon without giving him a single turn.

Simon does not have enough hp to mitigate the nerf, she still will one shot him. And she can do multiple turns if needed. We are talking about billions here before the tomorrow nerf.

Nerfs all they want, towards the end it's just not Stendhal that is broken... When you can stack all the pictos and skills everything are unbalanced. I don't think they can truely balance this game.

I dont think they even want to. But you are right, problem is damage buffing pictos that stack multiplicatively and unlimited lumina pool. But there is no need to balance it anyway, in a way this powerfantasy feels very good thematically. If Stendhal is a bug then be it, Simon still will die by one shot.
