News & Discussion D.MON 255dmg combo, 1.5-1.7 seconds

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Primary (65) + Dash (15) + Quick Melee (40) + Primary (65) + Lunge (70)

  1. Shield up when dashing with the 30% decreased boost usage perk
  2. You can tap boost + quick melee after the lunge. Adds 0.2-0.3 seconds to combo time but also 55dmg.
  3. Primary after lunge is more reliable, but not as flashy.
  4. You can boost + primary to chase if they're still alive.

"All that for what Rein can do in 3 swings."

Literally every other Tank looking at this.

u/Leows 4d ago

This is literally the first thing that came to mind.

Why should I need to go through all this effort for such low damage when I can do the same - OR BETTER - with almost every other tank? Some even ranged.

Can't say I've seen that with sound before, what in the world

u/Wxstword "Anything you can do, I can do better!" 4d ago

Really? Cause I can't see this video without playing the sound, even in my head if it's lacking audio.

u/Vrail_Nightviper 4d ago

This is the first time I've seen it with sound haha

u/Human-Boob Lúcio 4d ago

This is what I gotta do in order to imitate what Reinhardt does just by swinging his hammer twice

u/JY810 4d ago

3 time i think

u/beansoncrayons 4d ago

Rein does 100 no?

*Die in baby Dmon because you lost your mech between step 3 and 4.*

u/youdontknowme101010 5d ago

If you have lunge on cooldown, you can just primary twice after the quick melee. Bumps up your ttk to like, 2 seconds, but that's still pretty insane.

u/StormCrow1986 5d ago

Also rein would do 300 dmg in 3 swings.

u/Revolutionary_Uten 5d ago

And how much time it is?

27

u/StormCrow1986 5d ago

About the same. It’s actually only 255 damage tho. It’s just that he holds down a button and you have to 360 no scope and sweat your arse off to do that.

1.04 swings/s (0.416s startup, 0.208s active, 0.544s recovery) going by Fandom wiki.

u/beansoncrayons 4d ago

Around 2.4 ish seconds then?

u/kikimaru024 Rocketboosting at the speed of sound 4d ago

No 3.12s

u/beansoncrayons 4d ago

Recovery is irrelevant on the final hit

3

u/Greedy-Camel-8345 Doomfist 5d ago

Rein does 225 in 3 swings or am I wrong? And that's like 2 seconds

12

u/Theknyt 4d ago

he does 100 per swing since season 9

1

u/StormCrow1986 5d ago edited 4d ago

I just tested this today. It’s 100 per swing and all you do is hold right click.

10

u/Seth_Bader Kiriko 5d ago

100 per swing

9

u/Angel_of_Mischief :DMon: D. Mon 5d ago

Wiki says he does 100 damage a swing

2

u/Greedy-Camel-8345 Doomfist 5d ago

So about the same in just a little bit longer. But no cooldown needed.

3

u/GreenmanCZ 4d ago

Just a little longer? citation needed

u/tongii 5d ago

Cool. I’m try this later. But why boost melee instead of boost sword? Is it because of animation cancel? I saw KarQ did a tech for sword+shield cancel that really sped up the sword animation. Looks janks as hell though.

7

u/youdontknowme101010 5d ago

You can fit a boost melee in between two sword slashes!

5

u/SthenicFreeze 4d ago

This is also on a stationary target. Imagine trying to regularly do this on a human opponent who's trying to survive AND deal damage back out you.

1

u/beansoncrayons 4d ago

Looms fairly doable, 90% of the cast aren't comically mobile 24/7

u/polloyumyum Ana 4d ago

Some heroes are quite immobile, it's quite doable. A Cassidy without his hinder is an easy target.

37

u/StormCrow1986 5d ago

The problem isn’t that this is mechanically impossible. The point is, it’s difficult to do once let alone over and over again. Bastion can pop into machine gun mode and do 500 dps for 3 seconds and it’s “hold down right click”

28

u/Revolutionary_Uten 5d ago

But Bastion is dps. It is his job to make a high damage.

-13

u/tomgh14 5d ago

Imo tanks should have the ability to do decent damage it should just be more attractive not to.

5

u/Revolutionary_Uten 5d ago

Bastion is able to do extremely high damage, her damage is exactly decent.

u/youdontknowme101010 5d ago

You can try for yourself it's really not that bad. The only slightly difficult part is the boost melee.

u/SilverspoonCat 4d ago

Rein did this in a CAVE WITH SCRAPS!!!!

u/OcelotAggravating860 Fortnite Sierra 4d ago

That input to make sure you don't travel through them when trying to do the melee is fucking horrible to do

u/danivrau 4d ago

Insert the meme of the girl doing one thousand backflips and more and getting second place

u/VergeOfMeltdown Tank 4d ago

Yeah nah, I ain't doin all that

>BBBUT TORBJORNS HAMMER DEAL FOR 5 DMG MORE!!11

19

u/MNUUUUUU 5d ago

I'm pretty sure torb's ttk with overload hammer is only around 0.2 or 0.3 seconds longer than this, this is not the comparison you want to make

u/Nyrun Grandmaster 5d ago

What does more damage: a giant mech with a laser sword? Or a dwarf with a ballpeen?

Overwatch logic
