it's insane. no doubt in my mind i could have gone 5000 depth + with new update
You'll be stopped by game performance long before that XD. I've reached the 600s and ultimately gave up due to lagg.
I am curious about 5k tho. I think enemy growth is exponential, so unless you found a way to scale exponentially, they'll catch up by then. My linear 8 million damage and 500k HP per floor growth should've started being outmatched by floor 1000 or so. And sure, those two values are getting multiplied again for total damage. But still not exponential.
there's the moth that makes a random follower who isn't faith's beloved attack when fb attacks so have adaptive duelist as your only follower who isn't faith's beloved. Also have the moth that makes faith's beloved gain attack whenever a follower does. I did this with 3 or 4 dogs that need to be made faith's beloved that all have the summon a copy aspect (so 9 or 12 dogs. cant remember) And each of those dogs attacks twice or even 3 times meaning the duelist is also and all the dogs are copying that attack. You need the moth to allow faith's beloved to have 4 aspects. And you can even make make moths become faith's beloved so I kept stacking additional aspects on those like the one that deals dmg equal to half the attack to a random enemy. the exponential dmg is so massive on first turn, I really can't imagine what depth I wouldn't kill it in one go.
True.
I have been trying to grind that combo a bit after you told me, but so far always fell short, not getting to hunt-proof it in time. That saidI found you can use the Dragoon and infuse it with Duelist + Growing Aspect + Adaptive Aspect, and it'll actually scale to the moon. I believe the upper cap you can hit is 25 Hounds, each with 4 attacks, so 101 attacks total.
So every battle you get 2 HP, which then get swapped (and doubled) 101 times. So after just the first attack cycle you should have 5e30 damage gained per battle. On top, you can infuse Crow onto your Dragoon to deal random damage equal to his attack, plus once per Hound using the Moth of Materializing and you can hit pretty much the same amount.
I am somewhat disappointed by the fact we'd only overflow a float after about 67 million floors. Unfortunately also while I don't quite know the growth formula, at a 1% growth per floor we'd still only last about 16'000 floors. Exponential growth man. Works for the enemies, too.
Anyway, I think I've also found the closest thing to an actual infinite. Again use the Dragoon. You'll have to use an Artificer so it can have 5 aspects. Then infuse it with Duelist and Adaptive Aspect again. This time also infuse it with a Paladin, so it only takes 1 damage, and then have it be Fate's Beloved itself. For the final 2 aspects, give it 2 more attacks. The key to finishing the puzzle is infusing a super Moth of Weaving. It does grant the buff to the Dragoon itself. Let's assume our weavers buff for 10, then with 3 attacks and the amount doubled that's +60/+60. Even with the Black Knight ?, the HP gained will be halved to 30, and since enemies won't hit for that much, you'll just regain it.
Unfortunately even then, you'll eventually be unable to beat Black Knight or False Sun. With 2 enemy choices out of 10, you'll automatically lose one in 45 hunts, so even going infinite won't even stall for another 2000 floors.
Edit: I've finally nailed the comp, and unfortunately some things changed/weren't as aspected, so the maximum is unfortunately only 18 Hounds with 4 attacks each for 73 attacks total. Still bonkers though. That said, there might also be a way to get 24 Hounds with 4 attacks each, but that requires even more bullshit to pull off.
