Alright, exaggeration on my part. Two colossi. While scrolled, the unpiloted one was attacking once every 8 seconds.

Once every 8 seconds, with you going at every 4, *with* a girdle for the extra damage, and with a ground crew (you did have a ground crew, I'm told!) focusing negatively... you really shouldn't even be losing the first Colossus.

It's still not like it's a major feat or anything. But boy, watching the Belgym Eld go tumbling down, and a little Alianna flying out from inside, flailing all the way down in a rain of marble and metal... happy.gif

(Basically, I'm as welcome to my "minor victories" as you are to yours. I guess I could also count "Doing so well that you refused to even try a third colossus" as a victory, too!)

Focus negative = less defense, not so much less damage.

Otherwise, I don't really call 40,000 power a minor victory, but if that makes you happy, sure. content.gif

passive aggressive comment here smile.gif

Otherwise, I don't think domoths has much to do with constructs myself.

The colossi/construct system has a lot of bugs though, which kind of sucks.

Less defense means it's dying faster, which means it sure is doing less damage. The longer it lives, the more damage it can dish out.

And yes, it does make me happy. They are essentially the same thing, after all-- killing an unmanned construct is as difficult as destroying a few Colossi with a manned Construct. Just one is far over-valued in Lusternia's system, for some reason. Hooray!

Colossi likely could use a buff to 5000 health with the additional damage taken "feature" removed as they are too frail in this state. The power loss is fine for the most part since it's not terrible to successfully defend a construct, even against superior forces (since it's not possible to be attacked while inside a construct barring bugs). That being said, there was definitely some more that you could have done in this fight, Alianna, and Xavius actually gave a bit of insight into it.
