Because fuck you, that's why. We shouldn't have to keep track of your stupid equipment.

Put a list of Impact's current equipment in your bio and update it regularly.

Gem doesn't even put his techniques in his bio and we keep asking him over and over. >_<

[Geminex]

Now this... this is what I call a plan.

Plan:

Rachel1: Rage rocket Impact
Rachel2: Rage rocket Moon
Moon1: Starmie psychic on lite possessing Matt. Should do another 75-100 damage.
Moon2: Vaporeon helping hand on Irene
Construct: special amp
Melanie: 2 rage rockets on Irene, pay 25 rage to use a full restore on self.
Irene1: Leaf storm with sceptile, but undivided. On Impactshade.
Irene2: Unownaut, Psycho boost on Shade possessing Matt.
Harliette: Water shot on lite F
Harliette1: Illumise Bug Buzz on lite A. 100-120 probable damage.
Harliette2: Wormadam Psychic on Shade possessing Matt. 75-100 damage.
Renny1: Shaymin Psychic on Impact (at least 100)
Renny2: Magnezone mimic helping hand on Irene
Pierce1: Defog with Skarmory
Pierce2: Have Blaziken finish off Beta A
PierceTrainer: Hit lite A
Matt: Porygon Z, Psychic on Impact (at least 100)
Impact: Rage rocket self. Use both adrenaline boosts. Attack Psyshade Pierce with Swarm Bow. Use rage rocket on self. CCC.
Charlotte1: Super Fang Golem
Charlotte2: Arceus to use Divided STABed Toxic Judgement on Beta D and Psypierce
CarlotteTrainer: Split shotgun between lite C and lite E
Wilhelmina: Dark shot on lite E
Lexhur: Grill gore on lite C
CCC:
Kurika: OHKO atack on Beta E
Milsha: Throat Harpoon on lite G
Shannon1: X-scissor with Florescence on lite G
Shannon2: Extrasensory with Shiftry on lite F
Aster: Probably hit Mattshade.
Cecilia: Probably it Impactshade.
Irene: Use sigtech, Attack Mattshade and Impactshade with Grimslay

Lites (all 150)
B (possessing Matt) 3 psychic, KO
D (possessing Impact) 2 psychic, KO
A 100-120 damage from illumise, Pierce's trainer attack. KO.
C 140 from Grill Gore. Finished off by shotgun. KO
E 140-150 from Wilhelmina's dark shot. Finished off by shotgun. KO
F Throat Harmppon and X-scissor. Probably KO.
G Extrasensory and Water Shot. Probably KO.

Betas:
Beta A 51 Blaziken
Beta D 98 Killed by toxic judgement
Beta E 284 OHKOed by Kurika.

Pierceshade 217 Killed by Impact and toxic Judgement
Matt 441 Softended up by various attacks, takes a massively boosted attack by Irene, probably dead.
Impact Shade: 476 (I think) Softened up, hit by Irene. Probably dead.


Your collective thoughts?
Sam looks cool the way she is.

Gem doesn't even put his techniques in his bio and we keep asking him over and over. >_<

Oh come on. They're not that hard to remember. But ok. I'll do it eventually. Now see my magnificent plan and bow before me!
Or give constructive criticism, whatever you prefer.

Rennyshade, Charlotteshade, and a few betas would be left alive. The rest is gone, if we're moderately lucky. The only thing I worry about is that I might not be able to completely free Matt and/or Impact from possession, but I think I pumped enough psychic attacks into that. Right?

[Menarker]

Starmie was knocked out by Togekiss when Moera dominated him.

Also, I think Sceptile should have a Helping Hand on it (from Magnezone). Multipliers on top of multipliers add up to a lot of extra power. Helping Hand wouldn't help Irene with both her Double Attacks. Only one attack. And if Irene is being pumped up to +5? She probably won't need the helping hand nearly as much.

And I really think that Unownant should be targetting the psytellite dominating Impact. A huge portion of your plan hitches on you being freed from domination. Matthias being freed only gets us back one attacker. Getting you back is cruical to getting you and the 5 enforcers.

[Dracorion]

Also, how do we know Irene won't kill herself or Melanie from Confusion or succumb to Paralysis?

[Menarker]

Well, I do think that Melanie should pay another 25 rage to give Irene a Full Restore if we think of following this plan, for the reason Drac pointed out.

[Geminex]

Well, if you'll look at Irene's tech:

- Signature Technique: Warforge ~ Self Targeted, Three Turns, AllStat +5, NegStat and Debuff Immunity. Irene may just have what it takes to fight Chuck Norris. Costs 70/100 Rage.

She's suddenly immune to paralysis and confusion, no? So how can they affect her?
That's right, isn't it, AB?
If not, eh. Sure, we can do the full restore.

Starmie was knocked out by Togekiss when Moera dominated him.

Fair enough. I'll try to rearrange.

Also, I think Sceptile should have a Helping Hand on it (from Magnezone). Multipliers on top of multipliers add up to a lot of extra power. Helping Hand wouldn't help Irene with both her Double Attacks. Only one attack. And if Irene is being pumped up to +5? She probably won't need the helping hand nearly as much.

Considering that I'm hoping for her to pretty much single-handedly kill Mattshade and Impactshade, I would have thought that she does need it. And it's precisely because of those +5 to all stats that it's so much more effective on her.

About Impact and Matt...
Eh, fair enough. Lemme see.
Or you tell me. How would you reallocate?

[Dracorion]

I don't...

Unless Irene's Signature Technique works retroactively, Confusion or Paralysis could trigger before she actually gets to use her tech.

[Menarker]

Debuff is technically not the same as status affliction, although they both pretty much suck. One is blocked by effects like Mist and the other by Safeguard and such.

And yes, the status effects would likely trigger before she could use her move, like Drac says... I mean seriously, confusion combined with paralysis is a BITCH in the games, with only a 33% chance of successfully attacking.

As for Impact/Matt, I'd probably just get Unownaunt and Shaymin on Impact, Wormadam on Matthias and go with that.

Helping Hand would only help with one of Irene's attack. Helping Hand on Sceptile after all those boosts would give it a power of almost 1000, which could hit two foes for the same power if it was divided. (Another 25 rage from Melanie to boost Irene's Rage again?)

[Geminex]

Well, what about "negstat" then? Cause normal stats decreases, like -1 to attack are debuffs, no? So there'd be no need to mention them separately. Hence, why I thought "negstat" meant negative status effects. Plus, Irene's half-Slayer, right?
But eh, fair enough. We can toss in an extra full restore.

As for Impact/Matt, I'd probably just get Unownaunt and Shaymin on Impact, Wormadam on Matthias and go with that.

Leeet's seee....

Helping Hand would only help with one of Irene's attack. Helping Hand on Sceptile after all those boosts would give it a power of almost 1000, which could hit two foes for the same power if it was divided. (Another 25 rage from Melanie to boost Irene's Rage again?)

Yeah. But it'll still benefit Sceptile less that it would Irene. Irene's attack is stronger than Sceptiles. She has +6 to attack, so that's a 4x multiplier to begin with. 2x STAB. 2x Super-effective. 130 power attack. She ends up with 2080, before any helping hands. And yeah, so each helping hand would only affect one of her attacks. It'd still result in a boost of 1000 per attack, if we give each attack one.

Whereas Sceptile, like you said, doesn't even reach 1000, despite helping hand.
And Irene has better stats (base 100, plus, like, 40, isn't that what a maxed out overblade would have?).

And yes, we could split Sceptile's attack, that'd increase the benefits of said helping hand. But if we're gonna be spending 25 rage to split an attack, we should be splitting Irene's, cause, like I said, it's stronger...

Anyway, here we go again:

Rachel1: Rage rocket Impact
Rachel2: Rage rocket Moon
Moon1: Signal beam with Lanturn on Mattshade
Moon2: Vaporeon helping hand on Irene (to boost her first attack)
Construct: special amp
Melanie: 2 rage rockets on Irene, pay 50 rage to use a full restore on self and one on Irene
Irene1: Leaf storm with sceptile, but undivided. On Impactshade.
Irene2: Unownaut, Psycho boost on lite possessing Impact (lite D)
Harliette: Water shot on lite F
Harliette1: Illumise Bug Buzz on lite A. 100-120 probable damage.
Harliette2: Wormadam Psychic on lite possessing Impact (lite D). If that one's gone, then psychic on lite possessing Matt (Lite B)
Renny1: Shaymin Psychic on lite possessing Impact (lite D)
Renny2: Magnezone mimic helping hand on Irene (to boost her second attack)
Pierce1: Defog with Skarmory
Pierce2: Have Blaziken finish off Beta A
PierceTrainer: Hit lite A
Impact: Rage rocket self. Use both adrenaline boosts. Attack Psyshade Pierce with Swarm Bow. Use rage rocket on self. CCC.
Charlotte1: Super Fang Golem
Charlotte2: Arceus to use Divided STABed Toxic Judgement on Beta D and Psypierce
CarlotteTrainer: Split shotgun between lite C and lite E
Wilhelmina: Dark shot on lite E
Lexhur: Grill gore on lite C
Irene: Use sigtech, Attack Mattshade and Impactshade with Grimslay (each attack boosted by one of the helping hands)
CCC:
Kurika: OHKO atack on Beta E
Milsha: Throat Harpoon on lite G
Shannon1: X-scissor with Florescence on lite G
Shannon2: Extrasensory with Shiftry on lite F
Aster: Lucario form, psychic on lite possessing Matt (lite B)
Cecilia: Hit Impactshade with Water Bomb
Matt: PorygonZ, dark pulse on Mattshade

Lites (all 150)
B (possessing Matt) 1-2 psychic, KO
D (possessing Impact) 2-3 psychic, definitely KO
A 100-120 damage from illumise, Pierce's trainer attack. KO.
C 140 from Grill Gore. Finished off by shotgun. KO
E 140-150 from Wilhelmina's dark shot. Finished off by shotgun. KO
F Throat Harmppon and X-scissor. Probably KO.
G Extrasensory and Water Shot. Probably KO.

Betas:
Beta A 51 Blaziken
Beta D 98 Killed by toxic judgement
Beta E 284 OHKOed by Kurika.

Pierceshade 217 Killed by Impact and toxic Judgement
Matt 441 Softended up by Matt and Lanturn and takes a massively boosted attack by Irene, probably dead.
Impact Shade: 476 (I think) Softened up by sceptile and Cecilia, hit by Irene. Probably dead.

Note that pretty much every attack up there is a special attack, meaning it benefits from the booster, meaning that they do about twice as much damage as normal. If a target dies prematurely, have any remaining attacks against that target hit Rennyshade, unless I've said otherwise.

That cool, guys?

Yes, sir.

That shotgun deals Poison-type damage. It'll work on those 'llites.

Immunity and cure are two entirely different things. Cure means that status effects are removed. Immunity means that she can't be afflicted.

So, if she's already afflicted with confusion before she puts on the immunity, it's too late and you need to actually cure her.

Man, making my own custom missions in City of Heroes feels awesome. My own custom enemies and stories and dungeons. I only wish I messed with the system when it actually came out.
