Yeah, end result is you were doing it right, but the Ability Bible had to be updated to change "Base Resilience" to "Resilience" in the descriptions of Armor Pierce and Juggernaut.
If Summit sucked, she'd be dead. Like years and years ago.
She conveniently does not suck compared to the trials she was put up against offscreen. GM was kind and put her up against level appropriate encounters (mostly).
Summit spent a lot of time running away in dark tunnels and shoving things down deep chasms when she was facing her unfair off-screen trials. A lot of things got winged by Anna and when they caught up with her were hit with a fully-charged Laser shot for their trouble.
Its also comparing a Legend Maker (without a way to cheat a higher Growth Affinity) to a Top 20
This whole thing started out with Summit getting thoroughly embarrassed by a two week old angel. She doesn't suck just compared to Solid Core, she sucks compared to anyone in that tier, the tier below, and maybe even the tier below that.
Said two week old angel has higher Base Damage and Base Resilience than an Archangel.
To be fair that was before Summit really got going with her super abilities, right now the odds are much more even. Plus Gabriel was ludicrously buffed.
That depends on two things:
She already has really. The Implacable affinity, Ceaseless Warrior, and a truly immense amount of XP and growth. From here, I really only see two things Summit might get from overcoming even worse odds. XP, and Overwhelming Presence. Of the two, grabbing OP will guarantee a visit by some really nasty shit. I'm looking at Ichi in particular.
On Discord I asked if upgrading Fuse a bit more would let us eat the corpse of a Fairy Battlemage to get its abilities. The answer was "no", for soul related reasons.
Based on the fact that a Greater Nightmare thought so in-main-quest, I'd say yes to 1 too. For 2, sheets have revealed that it takes two turns to summon a golem. Also, with just 350xp we can get our top speed up to 190mph and then dodge-tank anything Gabriel could throw at us. (Though we should probably save for upgrading Wave Force.
- Does the fact that Core Connection makes Gabriel's attacks have a pseudo-Divinity effect cause them to be reduced by To Defy the Gods? (I'm guessing the answer is yes)
- Will that take long enough that Gabriel will be capable of pulling out a Progenitor Golem
Armor of Light works at 90% effectiveness when blocking Unstoppable effects... but you wouldn't use Unstoppable in a
Last I checked the cap on Laser was nonexistent. Or is this a Summit Quest Divergent Mechanic™?
The latter.
My current preferred purchases right now would be 2 points to Flight for the exact reasons you stated (higher tier dodge defense) followed by 2 points in Panoply (because the invisitext in character sheet tells me it gets 1 extra attack per 8 levels).
Right, forgot about that.
Like Ordnance + Multishot + Danmaku + 9001 laser stacks to bombard a magical girl out of existence
I really do think we need to get the next upgrade for wave force though.
Murder armies of mooks from long range = Ordnance + Multi-Shot + Danmaku + Collateral Damage.Like Ordnance + Multishot + Danmaku + 9001 laser stacks to bombard a magical girl out of existence
Maybe swap out Collateral Damage for Anti-infantry for that x6 multiplier.
To be fair, that's actually a workable idea.
