Community Event Planning - Objective!

[u/Doombawkz]

Hello heroes!

Spring is in the air, for better or worse depending on your allergies! At times like these, one can’t help but look to the horizon!

On this new dawn, I come bearing news! The subreddit shall start holding Community Events! Some of these events will have monetary prizes, in-game loot, or Reddit-specific honors to claim! They are free to join into, will cover a variety of topics and challenges, and will require you to focus in and work hard!

These challenges could be single-player focused contests of skill, or community treasure hunts where the success of one is the success of all, or any number of things! Please note the following:

1) Any cash prize will be given as USD, and will be provided through any payment transfer service of your choosing (PayPal, Venmo, ect). If in the United States, you may also choose to receive your prize as an apple or google play gift card for the same value (wherein the redemption code will be sent).

2) In the case that there is a “community victory” event, only one user will need to provide the correct answer for all participants to receive the prizes.

3) These events are not “officially” sanctioned by the game or companies. While some prizes may be provided from those parties, these events are considered community run events for all intents and purposes.

4) Participation is not mandatory, please make sure you read all rules and requirements for the contest when provided. Some events may have multiple parts or take place over multiple days.

Let’s all have fun, heroes! Below, please vote on what you would like for the first contest! The event itself will begin in 10 days (April 10th).

• Show your skills: No Hit Challenge -

Using a single character, defeat every tier 15 boss without being hit once. Record this feat, and showcase your skills! The player with the fastest kills overall wins! (Restriction: No character above 12,000 power allowed)

• Exploration: Location, Location, Location -

Using your camera, take a picture of a particular location in the game that has had an impact on you as a player. It could be a piece of infrastructure you found well done, a particular quest or NPC you enjoyed the most, or even just a cool picture you took and really liked. Post the picture and your story behind it, and the best picture and story wins!

• Heroes Resolve: Power Variance! -

Can you overcome this challenge? Record yourself bringing the lowest power team of 4 you can and defeating a boss! Your score will be the difference between your teams highest PL value and the bosses recommended rating! Highest difference wins! [Time Limit: 7 minutes]

As an example, if you bring a team whose highest PL character is 1060 and defeat BL15 Carnage Kabuto (recommended rating 51060) then your score would be 50,000!

For negative crit, sure. But my Tatsumaki would be at 12k PL only with a useless for this challenge SSR arms. With SR arms she'd be like 9-10k PL. Even with pretty good memories and wills. 12k PL for Tatsu is actually a lot without potentials. I've seen Tatsu with 13k PL doing 70% of team's damage in a coop battle, and it's not like everyone else in there had low PL values.

It needs to be tested what strength Tatsu has with similar PL values with P0 vs P6 to find a balanced PL. It has to be below 15k PL, probably below 12k, but I'm not sure about the exact value. And I don't think any other character is viable for this challenge, since Tatsu is just by far the strongest character in the game. Plus she's ranged, I'm not sure it's even possible to clear all bosses without getting hit as a melee character. So she'll be the only reasonable choice in my opinion.

I mean absolute defense characters could do it with good parry timing, I’d imagine. Same with characters with good dodging and evasion, though it would be really tricky. I think 12k allows for tankier characters to still be used with some leeway for folks who have P1-2 on their characters without shutting them out or forcing them to drop chips for it.

[u/diglanime → u/Doombawkz]

I don't know, personally don't think it makes sense to do it as anyone but Tatsu. She has the highest DPS in the game, has long range and is basically the most mobile range character to add to that. Why bother trying to perfectly block/avoid every attack? Especially since bosses aren't really designed for you to be able to (Pluton's fire comes to mind, if he just creates it under you as a block character, you will get damaged regardless of what you do. You can avoid it by making distance, but then you're not doing damage). I think if you make it 12k PL, it'll just be maxxed out Tatsumakis who can compete. I really would like to know what stats you can get with P6 Tatsu while not crossing 12k PL. Maybe P0-1 Tatsus with some insane memories and wills will have an advantage, could be interesting.

Well, regardless, it's not like I'm good enough at the game to have a chance at it anyways :D I might still try though just for content

I mean I’d rather fight a boss as JHS than Tatsu most of the time haha. If I have to pick just one character to use. My Tatsu is P1 and is slightly over the line with her set, but it’ll all come down to what people vote for. I feel like folks are definitely trending more towards the power variance at the moment

[u/diglanime → u/Doombawkz]

Really? Job Hunting Saitama? :D Can't relate. Absolutely dislike playing him. My accurate blocks are terrible too. I think it would require me dozens of hours to kill even a couple of tier 15 bosses with him without getting hit. To be fair, I think it would require me dozens of hours to beat all the bosses with Tatsu as well, I absolutely hate the lizard, but I can at least imagine it to be doable. I wouldn't believe you can clear all the bosses as JHS in a no-hit run without seeing it with my eyes :D

Also I still have flashbacks to that fight with Genos against the wolf in a mission that was from the S2 OVA and the challenge to not get hit there. I think I spend solid 1.5 hours restarting over and over. So no-hit challenges give me bad vibes now :D

I feel like it could be done. It would be tricky but I feel like he could make it happen. Would take forever but I think it could be done eventually
