Nyarlathotep's Dungeon: Week 82

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I could swear it actually was better than it indicated in-game (25% of the stat would suck beyond all reason even against, say, Berserk 2, which is where I'm getting the damage halving recollection from. But it's been years, could be wrong).

[Dhyerwolf]

ACF enemies had extremely diverse mechanics for their moves, so sometimes the effect could probably be pretty notable.

"Defenses: Usually they are subtraction, but some enemies techs use them in different ways, so I didn’t make any durability scales."

Betting Berserk fell into this category.

[Dark Holy Elf]

I haven't done much investigation of the PC side, but all boss physical attacks in the stat topic do Atk x Power - Def damage. Power is usually 2, but sometimes 1.5, 2.5, or 3. The only exceptions are Harken's weird moves, but they certainly don't seem to factor in Def any more than normal (if at all). So yeah, on paper, 25% of the raw Def stat should be absolutely pathetic. If it's more effective against any DL bosses then the move must have some other effect (again, I didn't use the buffs enough to say).

[Tide]

The defensive buffs feel like they cut damage by around 25%-33% in practice I'll say. Seems weird, but yeah. I had similar issues with Strike Buddy actually where despite the fact that the Accelerator version shouldn't have focus issues, it does and tends to halve the damage in practice than what it says on paper.

[Random Consonant]

Voting a pass for Tide's team.

Teams Tide, OK, super and Dune vs Dungeon~
