Increvable... The only excellent ability which would be almost useless for Kitty, squelette de plomb would be better for her. Lol she really is a special kitty.

I wish for a lot of things but only martial arts can allow me to win at least once against every brute in the game.

Yeah, I think that in the end game for any brute, it might be more useful to have immortal + squelette plomb
than to have increvable and anything else. I hope kitty gets it! Heavy Kitty.

Martial arts is really the single most important skill, I think. You can build a brute around any number of great skills but no matter what else they have, they've got to have martial arts for those inevitable times when you're out of weapons and your opponent has armor.

Kitty is a girl. How dare you talk about her weight? :oops: *geezzz*

She has just practiced jumping recently XD

Martial arts is the most important skill in the game.
If Kitty had it on the way, I don't have to think about past choices anymore.

Not to mention all these bloody fights where your brute decides to leave his/her weapons where they are... Rolling Eyes

Couteau vs. 3 Endurance. Took the endurance. Sad

Never updated this -- got Couteau vs. 3 Agilite and took the agility. That did the trick for him, because he won the second tourney after taking that agility boost. So he won his tourney at exactly the same level he was when he won Hemogrobil, level 25. So after all that whining and grousing, the sai-path really worked out about the same as the whip-path.

The sai is a good weapon for PunchDrunk, but not terribly different from the whip in many ways. The real story is the stats difference. In the whip path, he ended up with Endurance 152, Force 7, Agilite 48, Rapidite 7. In the sai path, it was Endurance 170, Force 10, Agilite 30, Rapidite 12. Total stat points not including endurance were 10 higher in the whip path. But what does that mean?

Basically, the agility in the first path did the work of the endurance and force in the second. While agility increased his shuriken damage a lot, force increased his other damage a lot -- particularly sword and martial arts. Having less agility didn't seem to get him killed much more, because of the cushion of endurance, but it sure did make him less accurate. More endurance made him better able to withstand bombs, piledrivers and such, but he took many more hits from pets. On the other hand, he got rid of those pets quicker by doing more damage when he hit them. Last time, anyone who could immobilize him or attack with lots of accuracy killed him. This time, anyone with more agility killed him.

So, at the moment I am stalling my entry into Biceps in order to level up to 26 and see what's there. If it's some sort of holy grail like increvable or implacable, naturally I'll keep this path. But more than likely it's a weapon/stat choice. Thing is, PunchDrunk gets good benefits from any stat boost -- least from rapidite, but still. But agility boosts are much more beneficial than others -- not only are they bigger because of feline, but they magnify his untouchable, his accuracy, and his combos. Force is the next best, but there's only one of those in this path. Endurance is next best, but there's three of those in this path, two in the other.

Unless there's something really terrific at level 26, I'll take the whip next time and diverge again at level 23, taking tornade de coups in hopes of getting more combos. That will help with pets and anyone without contre, a slight offensive boost.

j/k

Like I said, I'll only keep this path if there's something truly fantastic waiting at level 26. There's only a few things that would do it -- increvable, implacable, herc strength or vitality, maybe sang-chaud, maybe maitre d'armes...

Subject: Re: PunchDrunk Tue 12 Oct 2010, 18:05

well, i dont think ull get any of those, but gl!

Thanks -- neither do I, but there's a chance, and I might as well find out because I've only got two more paths to explore before it's final! It's worth another day to find out.

Subject: Re: PunchDrunk Tue 12 Oct 2010, 19:25

explore again?

* * * * * * * * * * Posts : 1123 Join date : 2009-10-23

Like I pointed out at the start, I had a choice at level 23 to take agility or tornado, and I took agility. Next time, I'm taking tornado. At that point I'll have 39 agility, so it'll still be hyper agility path -- might be even more agility behind tornado! Or increvable, implacable, herc strength! Must find out, and if it's sucky I can go back to the Hemo path one more time before I have to choose the path for BL.

Subject: Re: PunchDrunk Tue 12 Oct 2010, 19:31

oh, the tornado, its a pretty tough choice, both are good
yes, taking tornado would be good

Yeah, my thinking before was that I'm already getting a lot of combos just from the agility; my thinking now is that it's probably a bigger boost and a lot more rare than an agility bump.

Update, PunchDrunk is plugging along and is stuck where he can barely ever win a fight. Today he lost 6 and won 2, his worst showing in this entire rank. All his opponents have accurate weapons to hit him, disarming skills to remove his weapons, and either armor or contre or both, meaning he can't hurt them without weapons and the more he tries, the quicker he dies.

Limping along toward level 16 where I will get arts martiaux and may be able to once again take on armored brutes like Zinette and Kitty who are now killing me with ease; getting peau at 17 will be another incremental step, but my opponents are just too tough. Even brutes several levels below me, like vakol and el-martopikor, beat me all the time. Sigh.

Well, you will feel strange when you'll have MA back and you will come back to a kickass process.
For the moment, I reckonize Punchy is not in the best shape. You were my first victory today.

You can't boast from an infamous luck lika Abra when I'm stuck kicking the air with my club while he plays with stars... 20 matchs for Kitty today after 18 yesterday. But, unlike Punchy, I don't know yet why I'll have in the future. The choice lvl 18 and upper are all new.

Boy, you're not kidding! Before I got the MA level, I got one win and 3 losses. Just enough to cross the line. Then I got 9 wins and 1 loss (to Kitty, btw). Martial Arts makes all the difference. I beat tough brutes too like djanfi, basically anyone with armor can now be beaten with ease, while I couldn't touch them before. My only trouble now is contre brutes, and thunder, who is now so strong she can kill me with her piledriver right from the start of the match. affraid

FORCE HERCULENNE!!!!!!!

OMG I didn't even think this was remotely possible. I got Force Herculenne at level 24, which is possibly the best single thing that could happen to PunchDrunk.

- Force jumps from 7 all the way to 15, more than double, and a +3 will get me up to 19.
- Whip damage up to 24: http://labrute.muxxu.com/fight/107690085?chk=dcd7
- Punching damage up to 28, epee damage can get well above 50
- Shuriken damage up to 15, same I had with 48 agility

He's still not unbeatable by any stretch, Kitty beat him today and so did Forza (so far), but this confirms for me that this is the path for him. In the long run, this is one of the best skills in the game, especially with MA.

It's not a hard decision at all, herc+felin > felin, anyday

Now what would you prefer next since you can have 3 stat boosts (excluding immo and meditation)
Vitality or bolt of lightning? I'd take vitality since hp seems to be key in muxxu

Subject: Re: PunchDrunk Mon 15 Nov 2010, 16:00
