[DISPAIR]

It only takes 1,500 of those to hit a million Base Damage. There is 90% chance of Goddess Red rolling 3,000 which puts the Base Damage up to 1,998,000. Throw in Coming of the End and it takes a mere 500, 98.34% chance, to hit a million damage per attack of which they have two per turn. This is of course without Goddess Red's Overwhelming Presence.

Anyway my point is it takes relatively small armies to hit massive combo damage.

Now, I know we haven't seen everything from Ni, but thinking about Red's Army of the Apocalypse vs. Nepgear, I think that the quests narrative mechanics make it such that Nepgear has the advantage. While the Army racks up some impressive numbers incredibly quickly, from what we have been shown, it is also melee. So why the hell would Nep, a fairly fast flyer get into a position where they can actually attack if she knows she'd lose? Answer, she won't. She'd pick fights where Purifier Beam and Starshine glass the Army's positions.

Ni's answer to that would have to be to either use some of the nasty surprises hidden by that damn Kyubey emoji, or call in backup from a very high power Demon to take us on.

Yes. It's gotten funny.

This is actually an issue all three armies we've seen suffer from. Soul Reaver are melee only, Hell's Soldiers/Hell's Ground Commanders/Hell Beasts* are melee only, and Spawns of Chaos are melee only. Which is good since it really puts a limit on how much damage they can do to a single target simply due to spacing.

*Well Hell Beasts have a spell called "Hellfire" which might be ranged but it could also just be coating their claws in Hellfire.

Hellfire is the Hell Beast spitting a ball of fire at an enemy. So it's ranged.

Also their primary Aerial attack.

And this is why I set that large groups of powerful ranged combatants that aren't numerous enough to count as an army are a threat.

Also, @crystalwatcher
Is the auto-Intercept of Supremacy Zone limited by our attacks per turn?

It shouldn't be since it's prereq, Covering Fire, wasn't:

crystalwatcher said:
UberJJK said:

Besides there is a possible downside to Covering Fire:
@crystalwatcher - Does Covering Fire use up Nepgear's Attacks Per Turn like normal Intercept does?

Click to expand...

Click to shrink...

It doesn't. Intercept doesn't use attacks either... at least I haven't done it like that.

That was also a really long time ago, back when things were still really wonky and inconsistent

Main reason I'm curious is because there's a point at which things are flying at you in such high quantities and speeds that it's exceedingly improbable to fire a shot at each one individually before they hit you.

Unless the Auto-Intercept makes our weapon rotate and fire autonomously of course.

Look at it this way. There could be a Concept of [MATH] somewhere.

Why do you think she's dragging Insight around with her despite her being a newbie?

Is it because Insight has useful abilities for understanding her opponent's tactics?

Or because Red Rose finds it rewarding to see how much stronger newbies become after a couple of fights?

Yo, you're the resident Shepard Quest vet, you got any ideas for a Divine Entity based on the concept of [MATH]?

That answer should be obvious!

The Divine Being known only as "RNG" has the Conceptual Armor ability, derived from the concept of [MATH]

Because trying to calculate a boss fight with him would make you kill yourself out of sheer embarrassment and frustration.

Requesting a change.

Base Damage: 2Target's Health

Also, shouldn't he have the Conceptual Armor ability?

Nah. No calculations required. Nepgear has a magical body:

crystalwatcher said:
"The third type is when the Magical Girl apparently replaces her Human body with a magical construct as well as using a spare magical body for combat."

And for a moment you find yourself staring at her with incomprehension. When it dawns on you, you actually drop your cup.

"As far as the lab coat can tell, you no longer have an actual human body."

and all magic ceases to function within his presence:

So Nepgear automatically dies. The End.

Not sure if copy paste error. But I think "It effects everything" would be better.

But that's me.
