Just tested it a bit more for you. With 15 results…
Average damage = 4413
Lowest = 4038 (-8.5%)
Highest = 4880 (+10.6%)
Omegasdragon HP = 4216 and 12/15 (80%) of the times it did more than that.
For a monster like Cyclozar where all it does is have killer moves and lots of its targets have roughly 50:50 chance of surviving on more than 1HP it’s frustrating to face a random variance in damage. However, Overconfident strike gives 100% guaranteed kill (even through HG) on any monster over 50% speed and has a more than 50% chance for a one-shot on every legendary below that speed. It’s completely fine, it’s strong.
Overconfident strike isn’t even the only thing Gyomurai has to offer. It’s got counter strike that deals super high damage to any storm monster, immunity to both sleep and poison (great for combos and can be a pain to kill) plus its secret skill can sweep the field after the enemy team has only one kill. There is no problem with this monster or the move overconfident strike in my mind.
As for the topic of random variance in damage, you can argue it’s annoying but it improves RPG games to have it which is why practically all of them do.
its not even comparable to death wish. Death wish is not instant to activate. you have to get a kill first. it could easily take well over a 100TU to get a kill. if your refering to that water dragon thing than protor killer + sleep killer wont kill a monster in one move unless it has type advantage + no hold ground etc… based on my experience that is (unkess your using it on a rockoid lol)
The point of this thread is waste of time (at this point),
Coz the monsters which are getting buff or nerf is already decided, it’s already an lengthy process for Devs , all the languages to be processed, debugging, addition of new monsters, after update has been released, we evaluate the monsters and can ask for buff or nerf, but till then it’s pointless .
Hey VKC, I’ve used cyclo in 80% of my PVP teams since he was released and his exit plan is a big part of the reason why. He’s usually followed up by a stunning entrance mon and his sole job is to clear the field of stun protection then to bring in stun. Can I ask why exactly he’s being changed?
I’ve been running the whale in a FL and it’s been working well, I have a rockoid in my 16th position and then stack my team with legs to maximise team cost, he ruins stratus FLs and his gravity field messes up other teams as well. Paired with a healer like heavens or utopian he can be tough to deal with. I like the idea of a summoning move for him though, would make sense.
Just thought of an awesome buff to Skeleviathan inspired by what you said Iconoclast.
Add a new passive:
Rallying Defence
(When this monster receives damage there is a 40% chance to summon one rockoid at the end of your reinforcements. Note: poison damage will not trigger this passive)
This would totally fix the issue with quick devour because it will summon its own rockoids, even from the front line. It may also be quite good for summoning lots of rockoids, like Emeraldont can be. I lowered the chance from 60% to 40% (compared to Emeraldont) but maybe it would need to be lower because 70TU full healing might be overpowered.
Either 1 will be good on him, but i think exit plan as a SS would be better.
Btw, we asked for a 5% damage buff for cyc for a long time. Any chance of that happening? He always rely alot on RNG and you never know i lf he would kill stag/aegis/mecha/alot more at 1 shot, and when you cant rely on him - i cant see why using him - if i put him in there to counter TT i wanna be sure he will do it, i got other options for this job. Or aegis for example - 1 bad RNG and he is open for desparate bite.
This RNG factor really takes out the fun and strategy.
what do you guys think about the new skill from the new monster turtle “spirit possession”? (same with mirror revenge but the monster who kill it also die)
he also can summon his junior (1st form) and it have mirror revenge
so he have a chance to steal your monster twice
but again he is so slow
and the 2nd new monster pretty decent i guess with ss death sentence all and camouflage
