So here's a pointless thread where I demonstrate the maximum damage possible given certain conditions (tell me if I miss something or you can do better with a different method):
Maximum damage to a single target from a single attack:
Relevant Setup:
- Finale of a campaign game
- heroes are Gaarkhan, Loku, MHD and Saska (composition not endorsed)
- Gaarkhan has Ferocity, Vicious Strike, Unstoppable and a force pike equiped with a high-impact guard
- Loku has co-ordinated attack, MHD has adrenal vapor and Saska has power converter
- Gaarkhan has Power Generator and Weapons Cache (the supply cards)
- Gaarkhan is wounded and focused and has a device token
Gaarkhan attacks a the boss who has a recon token on them, spends his device token, power generator and weapons cache; power converter, adrenal vapor, co-ordinated attack and vicious strike are all activated.
Basic Roll: RYY
+R for focus with ferocity, +R for co-ordinated attack, +Y for adrenal vapor, and convert one Y to R for power converter
Actual Roll: RRRRYY
Results: 15 Damage, 2 surges (All R rolled 3D, one Y rolled 2D and the other rolled DSS)
Extra Results: 2*+2 D (unstoppable, Power Generator), 3*+1D(weapons cache, set your sights, vicious strike), +1 surge (practical solutions), Pierce 2 (power generator)
Surges Spent on 2*+1D(force pike), +2D(high-impact guard).
The boss rolls a single block on each of their defense dice, this is negated by the pierce.
Total 22 damage
This damage does not take the boss over their maximum health in damage so they suffer all of it.
= 15 2
Pierce 2.
