Resistance crystals?

[R226329038]

Hmm.. Quick question, has anyone got a more or less approximative calculation of how the resistance gems work? (% damage reduced?)
The other day in team arena, I was with another knight. We have about the same BR and the same mdef. I had an Amazon Queen and he had an Iris.
I have no water res crystals (yeah.. I always go all awesome in synth things events XD). We faced a purple Iris, its delphic did a whooping 70k crit damage to me. Second time it did ~80k. The other knight took ~20k damage from the same delphs..on crit too..lol (we fought them twice). Sounds like a huge difference, for not so much res gems. Made me want to do maps daily XD

So.. Any guess? Any thoughts? Now i'm never gonna miss maps again nor go all awesome in synth res crystal things ><

If a hercules delphic is one shotting you then you are fighting a much stronger player actually, dont forget that a player having iris is much bulkier with her 3% increased defense( 3% is actually a LOT) , you just need to attack with the triton and as soon as the player selects the super, you select rain dance to heal every bit of damage off it.

would be interesting to see how players can tell when their next opponent will be using hercules/Ceberus/Eve/Athena/Medusa/Triton in CW and change the resist crystals accordingly...sooner or later they'll meet against someone who's gonna be able to out dmg their heals while being similar in stats but winning solely due to having the advantage in element...

You'll have significantly lower electric resist with iris/triton than you would have with any other sylph. Doesn't matter how much you crit heal for when hercules delphic one shots you.

I would have to disagree with you all im a 205k Crit knight with a maxed triton and i can pretty much one shot anyone and I have beaten some of the top players in CW with BR's as high as 250k so i would check your facts on how strong you think they are.

I think you meant you agreed with me?

Except the Iris user would need 4 lvl 5 electro res gems to get out of the red..about 4 lvl 6 electro res to get to about the same res gaia has against an Iris.

Who says they using gaia?

Having said that i agree with the rangelaeyes, using hades like that is totally satisfying!!

[rangelaeyes]

I honestly love fighting iris users with my hades. It's just so satisfying to cut any potential heal in half, or outright troll the poor noob and steal the heal. Or even quickly reverting to chaos rune the poor sap to troll the heal. However I do have my manners and I do thank whoever it is I'm fighting that heals me.

Once again its all about the RES crystals. I personally have none for water, so if they got loads ofc they will do loads of damage and i will do less against them. Its less about which has stronger attacks and more about RES. and will crystals. You wouldnt fight with iris and no stack RES crystals, so they are probably more powerful since the RES crystals came in.

Lol, if I, with my AQ took "a lot" of damage from an Iris..((one of?) the weakest sylph delph in the game) how much would an Iris user take against the most powerful sylph delph (being it's elemental weakness moreover) in the game? lol
Plus, Iris sucks in CW xD

Tell that to archers crit healing for 170k by rain dance and 120k by warm spring.

[kattuktk]

and if you're using an iris to fight you've already lost.

There were attacks in between lol, obviously with heal CD but with block an heal rune and gaia as main it didn't do lethal damage.

and nah it was @150% timer. Don't think that adds up to 4 mins but wasn't really paying attention... more focused on killing the damn leech!!!

150% as in extra 150%(total 250%) damage or extra 50%(total 150%) damage? if it's the former then of course no one can survive gaia/hercules delphic unless on special circumstances.
as for your case, it seems you only fought someone who only plays defensively. which is very bad on pvp since the damage is multiplied over time.

[Wraithraiser]

so, the fight took more than 4 minutes? and it's pretty stupid if the iris only heals while in sylph mode.
and your scenario didnt involve the knight attacking. remember i said a crit knight i was facing? yes, he deals a lot of damage too.
it's very annoying when he blocked my delphic for 90k damage then he simply heals next turn, then followed by his delphic shaved more than half of my hp.

I have. 160k vs 160k

Heal - gaia crit - heal - gaia crit - heal - gaia crit - back to player - sylph again - heal - gaia crit - heal - gaia crit he dead

2x same result

Results vary from player to player but in the long run in a majority of cases it won't help you against gaia/herc users. Hence it really is a gamble.
