Maybe 3 octos out at once could rack up some damage, but the summoning animation is long (and you can do it on the boat), so you're open during that time.It can. If I were to have max Octo (500 attack), it could do from 9163 to 12872. Octo attacks nearly double as fast as other summons, every 1530ms to be exact. In that time, Octo can attack 26 times. Do you see where this is going? Octo is really freaking strong.

(not 100% sure on this) but dont you also need to dismount your ship to cast which would take the time u could do 2-3 cannons at least which is liek a MINNIMUM of 300K even if i were to deal min damages for 3 cannon attacks in a row.. so it is a little lost on me, now that being said.. it migth be worth while to cast it during Rapid fire spells(when ship breaks) and migth be worth while to cast when it does uber super Def up (somewhere near the end of it) so u can get a little kick of damage.. but overall i dont really see the point in using summons that dont last long at allLevel 1 Octo isn't really all that good: it does about a third of the damage of max Octo over its (shorter) duration. But.... seriously... how could you not know when you can cast Octo? You can cast it on your boat and it's not any slower to cast than when you're off you're boat. Octo will always be there to boost your damage, especially when your boat is broken.
