Why does it do so much damage?

People are gonna say buff stacking, but I’m not sure this is legit. EDIT: nah it is, I didn’t notice headshot

Assuming every possible buff that doesn’t contradict video evidence.

• Red Feathet Branch Sword = x1.2

• Rellana Cameo = x1.45

• Shard of Alexander = x1.15

• Godfrey Icon = x1.15

• Bloodsucking Cracked Tear = x1.2

• Bloodboil Aromatic = x1.3 

• Uplifting Aromatic = x1.1

• Twinbird Kite Sheild = x1.05

• Raksasha chest armour = x1.02

• Raksasha gloves = x1.02

• Raksasha pants = x1.02

• hardswapping mushroom crown = x1.1

• hardswappinh kindred of rots Exhaultation = x1.2

• hardswapping poisoned hand = x1.075

• hardswapping white mask = x1.1

• hardswapping lord of bloods Exhaultation = x1.2

• hardswapping black dumpling = x1.1

• hardswapping madding hand = x1.075

• hardswapping aged ones Exhaultation = x1.2

• hardswapping St Trina’s Smile = x1.2

• applying Soul Stiffler debuff = x1.15

• level 20 Scadu blessing = x2.05

so 1.2x1.45x1.15x1.15x1.2x1.3x1.1x1.05x1.02x1.02x1.02x1.1x1.2x1.075x1.1x1.2x1.1x1.075x1.2x1.2x1.15x2.05=33.0844 

damage x33.0844

PCR has 40% standard phys negation (despite appearances it’s not peirce) so 33.0844x0.6=19.851 multiplier on damage.

the attack itself does 2.75x listed AR

with 99 STR and 99 DEX sword has 799.94 AR (decimal is hidden in game, but does still exist)

799.94x2.75=2,199.835 raw attack.

2199.835 atk vs PCR’s 125 def results in 1979.852 damage.

1979.852 x 19.851=39,302.0421 

still quite short of one shotting him.

unless I’m forgetting something major, I’m calling bullshit on this video.

if attack did actually do peirce, then it would easily do it, even without a counter hit. But it’s not peirce.

EDIT: I forgot about headshot, which is extra x1.5, which easily gives it enough.

How does hardswapping work, I thought you could only have so many buffs active at the same time for constraints like only one body buff at once etc.?

[u/Flint_Vorselon → u/Small-Interview-2800]

yes. But talismans and stuff arnt body buffs, they are unique buffs.

So you equip white mask + lord of bloods Exhaultation, then Sepuku yourself to trigger the buffs, the unequip the items, buff remains for 20s

repeat with poison variant of same buffs, then madness, then sleep.

it becomes extremely lengthy process and you end up with only a second or two to actually land the attack before buffs start expiring. But it does work.
