How do you setup Pirate Gregor's damage

[Funk]

I saw that screenshot of him doing 300+ damage and I can't seem to replicate a fraction of that the best I got was 97 damage does anyone know how to set this up?

If I had to assume... It has to be on an abnormality with both a weakness to its attack damage and sin affinity. So that puts you up to around 200% damage. Then put him on a team that can apply damage up and vulnerable to relevant parties. Allowing to massively multiply your damage output. Ting Tang Hang Lu, Base Royda, and Shi Heathcliff can all also increase damage in their own ways allowing you to drive that number up and up. I'm sure there are plenty of other supports as well. N-faust can also give people a debuff that make them take 20% more damage from piercing and spread pierce damage up.

From there you just need both his passive and his crit and that might get you to 300 through the compounding effect of all of that. Any form of attack up will also help because that'll flatly add large quantities to the end damage. Though that's just theory crafting I'm sure someone else here has properly tested it.

Buid up poise with his s1 and s2
Build up his coins to 4
Use his skill 3
Crit on both coins
???
Profit
Needless to say that you need uptie 4.

Some of this is very obvious but:

Make sure you have other members on your team that can inflict bleed, preferably bleed count (Hook Hong Lu, Kurokumo Ryoshu, etc). Greg can get unjust enrichment if he roll heads when attacking an enemy with bleed. Unjust enrichment boosts dmg of the last coin on his S3 by (25 x unjust enrichment)%, with the cap of unjust enrichment stacks being 4. So that should be a extra 100% if you max out unjust enrichment.

Greg also deals 100% extra dmg if you land a crit with the last coin on his S3, so spaming his S2 builds up more poise count and makes it more likely for him to crit.

Put him on the first slot on your team and he'll generally have priority of extra slots in focused encounters, letting him generate poise/count more easily.

Good active units include:
N Faust (bleed)
Kurokumo Ryoshu (bleed)
N Meursault/ R Meursault (bleed)
Hook Hong Lu (Bleed)

Good Passive units include:
Blade Lineage Yi Sang (poise)
Base Don Q (Pierce Dmg)
Kurokumo Ryoshu (Bleed)
Base Rodion (Dmg)
Los Mariachis Jefe Sincliar (Dmg)
Base/Blade Lineage Outis (Dmg)

If you are making a team dedicated for Gregor with some support, I would add at least KK Ryo, Hook Lu, and maybe N Faust to keep bleed high
For support I would go with whatever is left on the good passive list and use base Outis over BL Outis.

Here's a video of someone doing 257 dmg with Gregors S3 (skip to 4:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shNvgGLFkhU

Slap a BL Yiy Sang on him as a passive, and it will work already. No guarantee of +300 dmg on s3, but 150-200 is quite doable. You can throw in some bleed/nails dudes, so the bleed stays on target nicely. Even easier in md with all those ego gifts.

LCCB Ryoshu's passive can contribute an extra 50% damage on the seventh use of his S3, which is another thing to keep in mind for running a screenshot damage build.

Do note that First Mate Gregor's passive says he gets coins on Heads hit, but it seems to be limited to only one gain per skill, not 2 like would be logically implied. So in abnormality battles you're only getting 1 coin per skill.
No one mentions Rhino Meursault, the best bleed count inflicter in the game? Really?

Ryoshu's passive only works if Gregor uses his last bullet. Which I've never seen happening in dozens of battles I've used him.

You would need to intentionally stall the fight to make him use his last bullet, or go solo.

yup, it's hopelessly impractical, but it is a damage boost and therefore valuable in screenshot-damage builds. y'know, builds that are based around being able to get a screenshot with a really big number on it.
