Power Rush Not Worth

[West Dragon]

Tested it on my Frieza Race, medium weight.

Used PU with no equipment (my QQ Bangs are all geared toward Ki BLA).

Firstly, you need one of two things.

One, 10 max ki from your stats and QQ Bang.

Two, Meditation.

If you use Meditation to gain access to the move, it ends Meditation immediately after using it.

As for its damage, even with PU unleashed (on a 0 STR Frieza Race, medium weight), it dealt 17,201 damage. I did forget to attach a SS for the move, but even then the increase from a SS would only add between 900 and 2700 danage.

Can someone report its damage on a Male Human with PU and Strikes or a Female Majin with PU and Strikes? Because this has got to be the most disappointing ult in the entire game.

Power Rush is a gimmick. It's not supposed to be used like other ultimates.

[Hexo Mia]

If literally killing an opponent in pvp with 1 ultimate is disappointed I don't know what else you want.

If you cant use the move properly, is not the skill fault is yours.

[Majin Mew]

My female Majin one-shots all opponents in PQ122 up to the Ultimate Finish with max'd attribute points & a +5 QQ Bang. No boost from Souls needed and also no PU needed...

Same goes for PvP. IF you want to rely on either Meditation or a max Ki build with Divinity Unleashed or gimmick souls (Vegito's Soul, Fused Zamasu's Soul), you can end matches easily within less than 30 seconds.

25K damage on my striker fe-saiyan with only SSJ3 on. 38K with SSJ3, both racial buffs and Champa soul on. I have not tested with Jiren's ki blast which supposedly buffs ultimate moves if you hit a charged one.

Someone posted 45K on a thread around here.

[WaRHaMMeRnl]

I used it once to test on a striker male earthling (125 points in strike supers) with a +5 in strikes and "ultimate power is mine" SS.
Also with PU active it did between 21k and 23k damage. (full hit just pure the skill without any combo's)

[Hao Zhao]

I do over 23K on my kaioken female majin. Sounds like your build is just bad.

You could argue that 23K is still not worth 10 bars of ki, when three justice combinations would do more, overall, and only cost 9 bars. I still enjoy power rush, though. It's easy to drop into during a combo and It often right out kills enemies before the animation can even finish.

[Reizo Ryuu]

The most damage I've done with it in a combo was 28k damage, nearly killing AI broly straight up. Female saiyan, balanced stats, striker QQ bang, ss3, cabba soul.
It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing and I love it.

[West Dragon]

Eh, I prefer my ki blasts. Universal applications and comboing Murder Grenade into Focus Flash for more than 10k damage at the cost of a mere 200 ki is just so satisfying and fun.

I did test Power Rush on a male human striker with 100 in strikes, a QQ Bang with +5 to strikes, and champa's SS active and I dealt just over 20k damage.

It did not at all feel satisfying to me...needless to say, I erased him to free up a character slot for something I'll actually enjoy.

Eh, to each their own. I feel that if I'm gonna do a power rush centric build, I might add the 10 ki bars through stats and qq bang instead of relying on Meditation. So just use Divinity Unleashed, charge my ki through punching stuff, and using PR when it's ready. Meditation seems like something to be used on a more hung back build. Maybe a ki blast centric build without spending points on ki.

It's how I use meditation, lol. With Meditation's release and after I got it, I wished to reset my stats so I wouldn't have to place any into ki. Now I can go in battle with 5 bars as a base (enough to transform, perform an ult, and/or execute a combo) and meditate for 10 plus regen.

I have thought of uses for Power Rush in which I'd take Broly's Super Soul on a basic attacker/striker, transform at the start of a fight and give my enemy no time to power up or transform as I wail on them with basic attacks, just waiting for an opportunity to finish them off with Power Rush.

Yeah. Power rush can be used as an early fight ender. Also, the souls that prevent ki from dropping temporarily allow you to use power rush immediately and without having even the 1000 ki required. I have just tested and it even allows you to use PR as a Super Saiyan Blue with only 6 ki bars. These are temporary and can be only used once per match, though. But you can punch someone a bit, guard break them, then in the Vegeto's soul case, which activates when going super saiyan, transform and end the fight then and there.

Fused Zamasu soul activates at the start of the fight. So get close and use PR immediately, or you lose the bonus.

Meditation and a fully charged power impact can both be used after a Y+B knockback, which can be used at any point during a combo.
Meditiation lasts 60 seconds so you have plenty of time to use it again; I don't have a single ki blast on my power rush preset so "hanging back" is not an option.

I understand we are not dealing with absolutes here. There are many builds and many play styles out there. So what may not be an option to me or you, may be an option to someone else. We are just here pooling ideas. Things maybe other people who read can use for their own builds. Some can choose to use your style. Some may choose another style, and everyone's happy.

The point I'm making is that meditation isn't just "something to be used on a more hung back build", it's perfectly usable even if you don't have a single ranged skill in your preset.

Oh yeah. I know that. That's why I'm trying to say this is just my view of things. I used the skill to complete DLC6 story on my melee fe-saiyan, but got bored of either having to repeat it or needing it and noting it had already worn off. I DID use it the exact same way you mention. After kicking back the enemy. It's just that I have never been the type to hold these kinds of upkeeps before, so I resolved that for me, the easiest way to use power rush was to have the 10 ki bars from the start. But, I noted that I can hold upkeeps better if I'm using my ki blast character, since she stays outside of melee range to charge ki and go "gun turret" mode. In that character, I could remove ki bars from her stats and add Meditation to compensate, and then I can toss those points in other stats.

But yeah, it's a fact what you say about being able to pop Meditation after kicking someone away. And I never tried to deny that. My apologies if it sounded like that.
