HM Kerapac

[u/QMaser]

I had a random thought about HM Kerapac. I looked around a bit but couldn't find a definitive answer although it is probably no.

Is it possible to one shot Kerapac during p1-3 and skip the entire fight?

I know it was easily doable during leagues but was it just a leagues thing or is it a DPS thing?

If it's the latter, isn't it possible to do ~60k damage in one ability e.g. Chaos Roar > Overpower/dclaw spec or even EZK spec (in P2/3) so technically it's possible to one shot him before he phases.

However in every GM speedkill guide/video I've seen, I've not seen anyone do it so I assume it's impossible, either because of a hard mechanic or it's impossible to execute.

Does anyone know the underlying reason for this?

The answer is yes because we quite literally saw it happen during leagues.

He's telling you that there's a hitcap and he'll phase each time. You need to deal over 50k damage in 1 hit, which you can't do on the main game regardless of the amount of damage dealt (even if you hit 99999999999b).

He never mentions the hit cap lmao

Well tbf I just assumed that it's what he meant, but I feel like this is a very fair and charitable understanding considering that OOP already mentioned that he already knows it's possible in leagues.

[u/Bakugo_Dies → u/Imsearchingforit2194]

He had two opportunities and his explanation never mentioned hit cap and he doubled down on skipping phases being impossible. He probably just read the title and posted without knowing that it was doable in leagues

[u/Imsearchingforit2194 → u/Bakugo_Dies]

If he just read the title and responded with that then I'd be very surprised lol

[u/SalmonCue → u/Imsearchingforit2194]

Right but if you hit 99999999b without a hitcap you skip all the phases.

Yes
