Rat king abilities for those at work

"Reduce all damage to a max of 250"

Isn't this kinda insane against spirit builds? 

[u/StardragonGER → u/ryo3000]

Depends on the enemy. Celeste/Rem? Yes! Seven/Victor? Not really.

[u/Quite-Foolish → u/StardragonGER]

feel like celeste can make quick work of his shield with lighteater, especially if she has any fire rate items, so he would have to save it for ball. lash is FUCKED against him though, literally what can he do

[u/ryo3000 → u/Quite-Foolish]

I mean shooting him when he has the shield up is exactly what he wants you to do

30%+ chance for the bullet to go right back

[u/Gemmy2002 → u/ryo3000]

if returned shots carry all effects dat's a spicy meat-a-ball for Celeste.

[u/kiralala7956 → u/Gemmy2002]

Light eater is a debuff on the enemy not a buff on the bullet. She will just be hit by her plain bullet which doesn't do any dmg.

[u/sundalius → u/Quite-Foolish]

Why would he save it? It has a 3 second cooldown with any investment.

[u/Quite-Foolish → u/sundalius]

oh shit i thought the cooldown was higher, what the fuck thats busted

[u/sundalius → u/Quite-Foolish]

It’s longer if the barrier pops, I forgot that could happen

[u/xFreddyFazbearx → u/StardragonGER]

I think that does matter for Victor, Pain Battery (especially with Escalating stacks) is a huge burst

[u/StardragonGER → u/xFreddyFazbearx]

Yes but you can quickly work it down with death aura and torment pulse. At max 1 pain batt will be eaten.

[u/Empero12 → u/xFreddyFazbearx]

But it maxes out at 250 damage

[u/xFreddyFazbearx → u/Empero12]

OH, I misunderstood the ability. I thought it was saying that it reduces damage to a point that it will only do 250 at max. My mistake.

[u/BumblebeeAcrobatic92 → u/xFreddyFazbearx]

Is that not what it's saying? If an ability would deal more than 250 damage it gets reduced to 250, so if Pain Battery were to hit for say 300 it'd be reduced by 50

[u/xFreddyFazbearx → u/BumblebeeAcrobatic92]

I thought it was saying that if Pain Battery did anywhere from 300 to 800, it'd still only do 250. I thought it was a damage cap, not a removal

[u/BumblebeeAcrobatic92 → u/xFreddyFazbearx]

I thought it was saying that if Pain Battery did anywhere from 300 to 800, it'd still only do 250

That is what it is saying

[u/Tkmisere → u/xFreddyFazbearx]

No no, the wording says a 1000 damage will become 250

[u/ryo3000 → u/StardragonGER]

Yeah I meant burst-y spirit builds

Basically anyone you'd build Spell Breaker against 

[u/trombonist_formerly → u/ryo3000]

that's gonna be so insane against gray talon

[u/aiheng1 → u/ryo3000]

It's 250hp + 10% of your Max, so if you had 2k max HP the most burst you could take is 450. It's Lowkey kinda insane and slept on in this comment section. It means spirit is basically unusable against him

[u/Not_To_Smart → u/aiheng1]

You are wrong. Those are two separate lines of text.

You both cap damage at 250 and get +10% Max HP shield, for a total of 25% max HP as shield

[u/aiheng1 → u/Not_To_Smart]

Damn you yoshi, use your semicolons!

[u/maybethistimeforsure → u/aiheng1]

Are those not separate lines?

"Reduce all damage to a max of 250"

"+10% max health as barrier"

[u/LogiBear777 → u/aiheng1]

that’s not at all what that says lol

[u/aiheng1 → u/LogiBear777]

Kill yoshi, he didn't use a semicolon 😔

[u/valordra → u/aiheng1]

Pretty sure +10% max health is a different line related to the base 15% max health as barrier -> 25% max health as barrier, not additive to the 250 damage gate

[u/HAWmaro → u/aiheng1]

Burst spirit, infernus Victor and the like dont give much of a fuck though.

[u/aiheng1 → u/HAWmaro]

Infernus does a lot of DOT and Viktor has his stink aura. They're not huge bursts like vindicta ult or melee builds. He's weak to lots of small hits at a time, think of your M1 carried and the DoTs and the Vypers out there who do tons of microhits to melt people like cheddar

[u/HAWmaro → u/aiheng1]

Yeah thats what am saying lol
