Single stack (Red dragons), impossible mage

[travelingoz]

Just been playing with Gremilion a little seeing what single stacks are good. (Mage-impossible)

Had Scaly set and Twinkling Boots equipped, also 5% resist Crystal artifact. My black dragons were still taking 95+ minimum damage from his AOE Magic attack.
So i added in the Chaos Crown (50% magic res.) and tried again. The Magic attack was still doing 95+ minium damage????
I thought with Chaos Crown the damage would be halved?
So it seems these items do not stack with the BD's 80% Magic resistance.......

Well, his attack is very powerful and the max resistance is capped at 95%. You probably had close to 95 already. 80% base +7% medal + 5% crystal ball is 92%. I guess the 3% didn't made much difference...

He clearly already had full magic resistance, because 3% makes a whole LOT of difference at that point!

Zilgadis inflicts 2700-3500 magic damage with its mass attack. 5% of that damage is 135 minimum. It is reduced/increased by atk/def ratio between zilgadis' stats and the unit he's attacking. In essence, even a black dragon will have tough time resisting a lot of mass attacks.

I agree that with those high damage values 3% is a lot (about 80 damage by my calculations), but still, it's all about the base damage of the attack and the fact that it varies between 2700 and 3500.

I thought i saw that 5% dress somewheres b4. I might give that a try, however i'll have to lose the Magessy Dress...

Well, there is a 95% resistance cap, so I am not certain it will help much... I think you have hit it already.

Ah, what I had meant was that going from 92% resistance to 95% resistance should cut your damage by 37%, a very noticeable amount. But yeah, if may be that the first time he got hit by the low end of his range, and the second time by the high end.
