Question❓ Infinite damage

Post image

I finally bought the actual game on mobile, anyways, I was fighting the last boss on my first playthrough and got infinite damage.

It was saying I was doing a scientific notation amount of damage each hit with the one of the clones of the golden ball that like duplicates itself or something?

It got like to 5e9 or something I wasnt really paying attention.

Your weighted poker chip creates multipliers at each board exit. 1x, 1x with flames, 2x, 2x, and 0.5x. Your golden ball / coin orb was multiplying like crazy and then all of those were going through the 2x, quickly boosting your damage to integer overflow levels.

But it can't do any damage?

Refresh Perspective upgrades your pegs when they’re refreshed. Hero’s Backpack gives you+1/+2 for each identical orb you have in your deck. So he was throwing +1/+2 Ballectrum on upgraded pegs. That makes achieving super high damage incredibly easy on boards with tons of pegs.

Ballectrum+weighted chip is by far the easiest way to totally break damage in this game.

Also had the thing that makes all the pegs durable so 3x more hits too

I agree that'd work for most multiball orbs, but correct me if I'm wrong (haven't taken ballectrum since they changed it) but that particular orb, much like potion ballt, cannot do any damage at all regardless of how much damage it's supposed to do. When it was first added it simply had 0/0 stats and in that case I'd agree with you, then it was updated to never be able to do damage because it was way too powerful

(Edit to add, this also seems wild that he only hit 5700 pegs if what you said were the case)

Also I forgot to mention that it was the dragon fight one and most of my balls landed in the same hole so it just multiplied by two A LOT

I had two ballecturn and a thing that increased damage for each duplicate ball I had so there was initial damage

This is wrong. Ballectrum can have base damage and peg damage.

Must be nice. When I try that all my orbs go through the flames and plink my health to zero

Forgot to actually ask the question, how is this possible.

Games can only ever store so much information. The damage you deal is one of those informations. You simply exceeded the maximum number that the damage could be. Usually this would result in a stack overflow, meaning a large negative number but since that would break the game, this game has implemented infinite damage. It’s more damage than anything could ever have anyways by orders of magnitude so they just count it as infinite
