No clue how strong it is, but combo booster is my absolute favorite. Lancelot and Yodarha are some of my favorite characters so far and It seems like it's required.

Improved Dodge and Untouchable are a crazy combo.

The pity bar is already there even if you didn’t open it prebuilds. Had 24 waiting on me once I open it .

You will get pity charges even if the pity is not unlocked. When I hit maniac I started with like 19 pity already.

Elemental War and Dice Roll are OP

farm id on maniac or proud chance for + ;)

@@SF_Savitar Yes. Thanks.

@@SF_Savitar there is no proud Id iirc?

@@Asegard sorry its maniac then but other then knicknack ID is a good way to farm dmg cap

@@SF_Savitar best way to farm damage cap in Proud is proto bahamut which has damage cap + as one of its drop. You'll have to farm him a ton for the terminus weapon anyway so it is killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

I'm using link together and stun because I main ferry and she gets all her pets every time you link attack.

Find a sigil called potent greens

@@mrferrari5568what does that do?

​@@mellowvalentine9354If you drink a pot, removes debuffs, If you have 2, you become immune to ALL debuffs! The only thing is that i'm 70+ hours in and i've only got 1...

@@mellowvalentine9354 makes every green potion remove debuffs. It’s fine, but not really worth running just to get rid of dizzy since you can just spin your joystick to get out fast. (Or just not get hit lmao.)

You can also run 2 (any beneficial sigil) v+ with dizzy resistance as its secondary to (with upgrades) mitigate the dizzy effect. I’m assuming this works as I have yet to try it but, it’s a nice additional 30% to the damage cap.

quick note 2: you will have war elemental and supplementary damage drop from curios (when you get them to mr glasses in seedholow). Both of these increase the damage you deal beyond the damage cap. Supplementary damage will have a chance to proc a 2nd damage number while war elemental makes your attacks hit effective, even if you don't have the right element. This is just a clue, that I would still need to check: If you check damage in practice, the dummy has no elemental. War elemental still increases the damage there. So it might even raise your damage on fights with no element like bahamut versa or angyu (or whatever ms. hands is called). But I have not checked this. Please verify the war elemental on bosses without elemental weakness yourself.

​@@slystaler9514 War elemental does seem to apply on versa and other non-elemental bosses

You have to clear all of Roland’s missions on the quest board after you beat the main story

well of course, the aim is to: 1. Minimize sigils slots needed for you to reach damage cap (including offensive + damage cap sigils) 2. The next way to increase your DPS has to come from doing "more hits", war elemental somehow breaks damage cap and just provide % bonus to your damage so that's nice, supplementary damage is basically more hits 3. The other way would be to shorten skill cooldown and or SBA gain including Link attacks 4. Any defensive sigils that increases your DPS uptime will theoretically improve your DPS 5. Skills that can cc the enemy like paralyze/slow, etc will also improve your DPS uptime

@@t_kon yes, was just throwing this out there to maybe help a lad looking to boost his damage

You can’t get damage cap and CDMG etc it’ll have to be white or purplr

Another just great damage cap sigil is damage cap v+ improved dodge. Building both is beneficial to not only your offensive capabilities but also your survival.

on my siegfried i'm running crit sigils and thats about it, might have a few offense substats but it's enough for dmg cap rn until i can get dmg cap overmastery

That’s probably the case that may open at proud. Not 100% sure the exact time

It opens after you get to proud difficulty yeah. So keep pushing. You got this 💪

Once you get to proud you’ll get V+ sigils as drops.

You’ll still probably need them you’ll just be able to hit higher damage numbers. It’s a lot of min maxing and character by character at that point

Haha sijual. Good guide though.

Crit doesn't go over cap they will still do 100k

What's potent green? Is it a sigil, and if so, which quest can you get it from?

Potent greens is a sigil and u get it randomly from a curio that cures any debuff when used at lvl 15 as long as you have 2 small potion in stock and at lvl 30 when used it cures any debuff and grants immunity without you having to keep at least 2 potions on hand unfortunately u can’t upgrade it so there are two versions a potent greens and a potent greens + When testing this I learned that using this with the glass cannon sigil it cures dizziness on hit I only have the first one meaning there way more sigils out there than we know about

I only recommend using on a ranged character or if your hood at dodging because mutiple hits in succession will cause you to go down easily

@mrferrari5568 there's the ome that stops you from getting dizzy, but I read that someone tried this already, and it didn't work..

if you equip more damage cap sigils and your damage increases then its probably capped idk

When you attack and the number has a small golden spark in the center then that hit was at the cap. You can rewind and look at the beginning of this video when he was hitting the dummy and you will see it happen.

War Elemental

@@Linkaboo7that doesnt have anything to do with defense. Exploiting a weakness applies a damage bonus as well as a cap increase that is equal to the bonus. But it doesn’t ignore defense

So from my testing (which ill admit im not done with yet) they do have higher defense, however, your damage cap is based on your damage output, not necessarily damage dealt So hitting damage cap on the dummy, you'll still hit it on a Proud mode boss, even tho those numbers are different Because you know, why wouldn't it be as complicated as possible lol Like I said, I'm still experimenting and trying to 100% confirm this, but just keep an eye on your numbers when fighting a Proud Boss, you'll know if your capping against them or not

@@HeavyMetalLink05 defense of an enemy can in fact push you back under the cap. You can test this on the dummy. As an attack that wasn’t at cap can suddenly be pushed to the cap when a defense down is applied. For reference any hit with a small golden spark on the number was at cap.

I think it's a literal limit to make the game harder or balance. If there's no damage cap we can just stack all damage sigils and make the end game a joke one shotting bosses. This way they limit they limit the damage we can do and limit the sigil slots

​@@josefcayos4026this is exactly right, they are discouraging you from maxing out the damage potential of every single character. Kills build variety. You should one character that has crazy DPS with lots of damage cap unlocks, and your other characters should be doing other things (tanking, healing, status effects & buffs/debuffs, etc ).

@@SliderFury1it’s weird to say it kills build variety when it very explicitly encourages finding ways to hit the cap with as few slots used as possible and makes end game builds have more room for utility and defensive skills. If the cap didn’t exist all those slots would just be tyranny sigils and crit damage sigils. Why are we pretending that damage cap is somehow holding us back from some sick build when you all know exactly what was gonna happen.

There will be more challenging fights in future updates so you are ready now play something else while you wait for the new challenger.

Have you upgraded all characters?

@@rossjs1980 masteries on all is maxed , i have all the best sigils, i have all the weapons and maxed 4 proto weapons on the characters i like, also completed all achievements on playstation.

Yeah it’s a huge sigil space eater, hopefully they will tweak it somehow?

Yea having 4-7 of your sigils potentially used for dmg cap seems just a bit flat.... every one ends up being the same... Dmg cap and Stam / Tyranny sigils then a few def sigils... Doesn't let you experiment or make builds per say.

opposite is true, everyone would simply copy the optimal damage increases. dmg cap is good as its individual basis per char, once youre capped you can run stuff you want. There's also + sigils for double skills.

They should at the very least change the damage number colors when you are at the cap to let you know.

@@matex2207 People still run and copy the same builds w/ dmg cap, even without you'd still need to adjust your character's sigil to play to its strengths (crazy, I know) Not like you can get away with pure dmg in the later fights anyway, and very few people are actually crazy at the game (or any hunting game for that matter), even less are speedrunner class. If we're talking meta, meta is weird because it's predicated on what the "best" players run, but they are at such a high skill level that it only matters to them, and is just a general shallow metric that does not take into account the intricacies of the individual player and, in this case, the mission/monster at hand. "Meta" is a trap because ultimately people follow it blindly, thinking that it is gospel for success, all the while they keep getting downed and missing window DPS times, status, miss opportunity window creation, don't build link, forgoe potions/healing, no support, full selfish... and just fuck up like they're still in story mode.
