Devil Wrote:I need to know how Battleship works:
- What happens to it when you "demount" from it, and resummon it (is that possible? Is it back 100% strength?)
- How much damage can a ship take before it's destroyed?
If you can demount and resummon all the time and if it would reset itself, then Battleship would be quite usefull for bosses indeed, and it would make a good rival for demolition.
Also keep in mind that Captains need a "Bishop / Dark Knight / Captain / X / X / X" party, because of their low HP, resulting is a DPM that is a lot lower then a 6 Viper party, because of only 4 (instead of 6) High DPM attackers...
Battleship is pretty much exactly the same as a mount.
-The only thing demounting does is protect your ship from damage (essential for bossing so it doesn't break down so easily, a good captain should be able to demount whenever he's about to take damage and remount to attack again) and allow you to use other skills (reactivating advanced homing for example). I'm PRETTY darn sure that if you remount, it still remembers the damage left until it breaks down. Meaning remounting won't reset the threshold to 0 again.
-That's the only thing i don't know. KMS captains max it after cannon though, so the difference between level 1 and 10 must be significant considering the few minutes of cooldown you gain if it breaks down. From what i've seen in videos though, the threshold is actually fairly big (i'm thinking anywhere from 50-75k? MAYBE 100k, but that's a major stretch)
Vipers would probably need DrKs and bishops anyway. Their HP is only roughly twice that of a shadowers (which is fair since shadowers have 50% damage from MG and it's REALLY hard to hit them in the first place anyway) and so they'd still need to use HB to survive. Bishops are self explanatory. Lol. Best party = DrK, bishop, shadower, viper, captain x2? Imagine smoke shell and spamming cannon. Epic.
Captains actually have more HP than BMs. (like 200-300 or so) I'm starting to think they might outdamage NLs and MAYBE BMs...Can you run the numbers for the three? :X (if that's not too much trouble :[)
Edit: Don't forget advanced homing? Lol.
Might wanna take out that last part too. "Rapid fire will be added once i know the bullets per minute"
