Here's the challenge: 500 points. Come up with the greatest theoretical damage output on one turn by one character against one other character. Assume the other character has infinite hit points and all of your attacks will hit, but there will be no critical hits.

This squad gets to 1350 damage:

24 attacks * 40 damage + 390 damage from spotters = 1350

(Before anyone mentions it - of course he'd never actually get it off. This is a theoretical exercise.)

Edited to account for critical hits. With critical hits, potential damage has no upper bound due to Flurry Attack.

Edited subject to reflect new max. We're up to 3700 damage. Let us know if you have a way to improve it. See below for details.

Easy, Luke HoY, surrounded by opposing beats with lots of hps and within 6 of a Chagrin, and a decent string of 19s and 20s. For added measure, you can add things like Han RH, a dead Obi and Yoda for multiple force expenditures, Gonk droids for extra attacks, loaded dice, etc. :)

The damage amount is infinite as long as legal targets remain.

Even without crits, here's what I can do with 500 pts:

Load the 5 Troop Carts with 9 Gonks and Luke, all troop carts are adjacent to Luke, the additional 3 Gonks are also adjacent to Luke's Cart (this is possible actually and still have clear los shots off one side).

Luke now has 28 shots, with 26 spotter 20s, Advantageous, and the ability to reroll twice with dead Obi and Yoda, giving him 30 shots, out of 30 shots, he should crit roughly every 10, so on average 3, granting him an additional 6 shots, with close to another crit average. So if we take the average of about 4 crits, Luke does damage on 36 shots (out of 38), 4 of which are for 90 dmg, and 22 at 50, and 10 at 30.

So if we assume all of this, Luke can do with average crit rolling, 1760 dmg. As soon as he beats the odds and rolls more than 4 crits, well then it really gets fun, as each crit ups his damage potencial by 40 for that crit (Chagrin) and the 40 more from the flurry, and the additional chances for another crit.

Ah - good catch. I wasn't counting critical hits, but Luke HoY or anyone else with Flurry has no limit on damage output.

I'll amend the challenge above. Also, this is assuming attacks against a single character (so no Yobuck or Force Repulse, etc) with infinite HP. Like GOWK who is making all of his saves.

Dosen't work because Gonks are not adjacent to luke only adjacent to cart.

Why couldn't you pack 8 carts around 1 cart with Gonks in all of them to give Luke 17 extra shots?

Fair enough. The problem you're solving is more realistic, but I'm going to stick to the theoretical one I described up top as long as I think it can be improved. (Single enemy target with unlimited hit points - all shots hit but no critical hits.)

Here's what I came up with. Nine troop carts packed tight with Luke in the middle one and 17 Gonk droids taking the other spots on the carts. The Mon Cal Techs are the spotters:

--Better than Maximum Damage Output--
35 Han Solo, Rebel Hero
35 Luke Skywalker, Hero of Yavin
18 Rebel Leader
135 Rebel Troop Cart x9
204 Gonk Power Droid x17
72 Mon Calamari Tech Specialist x18

(499pts. 47 activations)

Double + 17 extra attacks = 19 attacks. With twin = 38 attacks. Damage is 30 per shot. 18 spotters at 20 each is another 360 damage.

Total: 38*30 + 360 = 1500dmg

Since I'm discounting critical hits, I think a Handmaiden could do better with Deadeye, Cunning, and Advantageous.

nvm

my squad,



boba fett bounty hunter

roll a 20 = infinite damage





62 points

Unfortunately, Power Coupling only works for small or medium allies and the Hoth Trooper with Repeating Blaster Cannon is a large base. You're right about the size of the base, though. Since I was only using 15 Gonks anyway, there's no need for the extra troop carts. That frees up room for the rest of the spotters (33 for 20 and 1 for 30).

--Better than Maximum Damage Output--
35 Han Solo, Rebel Hero
23 Echani Handmaiden
22 Rodian Hunt Master
18 Rebel Leader

(465pts. 56 activations)

34 shots * 50 damage each = 1700
Spotters: 33*20 + 1*30 = 690
Total damage: 2390

Dressilian Commando 14
Rebel Troop Cart 15
Rebel Leader 18
Czerka Scientist 13
General Crix Madine 16
Weequay Leader 13
Gonk Droid x15 180
Han Solo, Rebel Hero 35
Mon Calamari Tech Specialist x32 128
Mouse Droid x2 (Just to make sure the CE's go all of the way across)

With a 3 x 3 base there is room for 16 ppl adjacent to the cart, 15 Gonks and the target, the Hoth Cannon in the cart.

Single Attack 1 + 15 Gonk Shots x2 for twin is 32
Base Damage of 10, Cunning +20 from Madine, +10 from Han, +10 Natural Deadeye, +10 from Weequay for 60 Damage.
32 Shots x 60 Damage = 1920
Now add 32 Spotters from the Mon Calamari 32 x 20 = 640

1920 + 640 = 2560

Total Points 438
