I wanted to see what the most damage I could deal to a target in single turn was. I figured Bunker's Omni-Cannon would probably be the way to go, so I attempted in, and managed to get 82- if I hadn't made a stupid mistake, this would have been 84. This was done with 38 cards under Omni-Cannon (everything but itself and a single Heavy Plating) for 76 base damage, 1 from Galvanize, 1 from Inspiring Presence, 2 from Twist the Ether, and 2 from Explosives Wagon. So, 84... Even Tachyon with all her Bursts in the trash and the same boosts playing all three Lightspeed Barrages (dealing 28 damage each) would be equal to this 84- though depending on the cards in hand, she can theoretically play more than three cards, meaning she should be able to theoretically surpass this... But that's technically three separate attacks- but it's clear Tachyon could outdo this for single-turn damage if she can play at least four cards in a turn- with Super Sonic Response being the fourth card, she'd do one less damage with each Lightspeed, but would do 8 or 16 extra damage depending on whether or not you could lure an enemy into hitting her, bringing the potential damage to 97. If you use Ra instead of Tempest as the fourth character, you could get another point of damage from Imbued Fire pushing it up to 98.
So my challenge is this: What is the highest damage you managed to get in a single turn, and how did you do it? It's obviously possible to beat my score, but I'm just going to leave it as is for now and wait for some scores to beat to pop up before doing another run like this- even in the digital version, it's quite time consuming to go through all of this (took 17 rounds and just under an hour- and normally I take about 20 mintues for a game in the digital version. Kind of afraid to know what it would have taken me if I did this with actual cards...)
Scores will be recorded below with the best at the top, and any ties listed in alphabetical order. We'll work on the honor system, so I'm going to assume good faith, but please realize this is for what you've actually managed to do, not what you could theoretically do (so my 98 Tachyon damage idea doesn't work out unless I manage to actually pull it off in-game).
In case anyone wants to see the epic shot that started this topic: http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/528383413216985151/1CD0A2C98391C4DD79FB36AAD4F616DDA4CBB829/ http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/528383413216985443/06BBCAE7950EB05904D010963CDD6AABCFFE4C1A/
And this I got along the way in that same game, consider it a warm-up shot: http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/528383413216984752/EF2859CEC8DAACE900DCB1A40DE6A4BDB2B81BAA/
Against Ambuscade on Mars, I built up a 92-damage hit with Parse's Critical Multipliers during a Meteor Storm. Her max damage, like Haka's, is technically infinite.
Likewise, Setback can get infinite Unlucky tokens with a Meteor Shower out and then using 2x High Risk Behavior, he can nuke someone for 3 + 2/3rds (unlucky tokens) damage in one hit. Add Wrong Time and Place and Cause and Effect and he can almost double it.
We once had a massive damage total via multiple hits on the villain…from the villain. It was Akash'Bhuta, who'd got out quite a lot of limbs and things were getting rather painful, so we had Fanatic put out End of Days. When it went off, we kindly let Akash'Bhuta's stuff be destroyed first before we took out the By Any Means that she had on her, meaning she was hitting herself for +1 damage for every limb that got taken out. It totalled to something like 104 damage and left her on 42hp so we didn't finish her off with it but it certainly helped clear the table a bit ;).
I set up some Fixed Point shenanigans with Fixer and managed to do 391(?) damage to all non-hero targets in a single round. I don’t know what the single-turn count was - I have a draft of a document detailing it somewhere that I’ll try to find for you. This was a real game, btw. It was set up with Fixed Point in mind but still completely random draws.
I could have used the last charge of the Isothermal Transducer to damage Voss, rather than healing, but I was focused on only dealing damage in one shot, so I didn't. Also, if I had waited a turn or two I probably could have found a few more instances of damage around to crank up AZ's Coolant Blast even higher, but that's okay.
114 which could have been higher if I wanted to keep cycling through playing Haka of Battle more. Voss was quite sad only having Forced Deployment to play but no minions. Ra got bored since all he did was provide fire immunity and some slight damage bonus near the end.
Correct. The only source of damage was from the environment deck with Primodial Plant Life. Every round Ra made everyone immune to fire and Legacy was soaking up energy damage from Voss with Next Evolution and LftF. So if I wasn't getting impatient I could have continued playing Haka of Battle for a while.
Not sure this would count, but I was playing as Fanatic in a game against Akash'bhuta. she had a killer turn and kept playing the put out more limbs card multiple times. At the end of it all she had every single limb out but we managed to survive mostly due to legacy tanking and being invunerable to melee damage (Next Evolution). so out of desparation I played End of days. at the start of the environment turn, i wiped out all of the limbs which proceeded to deal Akask'bhuta over 90 points of damage. so in effect, the card I played took out that total twice once for all hte limbs, and again at Akash'bhuta
