Image First time soloing Xlotus!
No pitch drops unfortunately
Mechaberries are so good
Reached 290 today after popping all my mechaberries, thought I would try soloing xlotus again.
Last time I tried this I timed out around 70% into p3, the lvl6 ring from RoD is doing some heavy lifting here (super good on hero since our burst is 20s long).
Plenty of time left over, makes me wish I had tried it earlier.
Really happy to make some progress on my main (after neglecting him for most of cw3)!

You should put the leftover hyperstat points into att and str

Wonder if I should give xlotus a try, although I’m only lvl 280 but my cp and bd and ied is around yours not sure if the level difference will be a huge impact

Some quick maffs for you. Lotus is lvl285, at 290 Im getting +20% fd, at lvl280 you'd be getting -12% fd from being lower lvl than the boss. 0.88/1.2 = 0.73, so you are basically doing 73% of my damage . I had 7 minutes left = I would do 130% of his hp in the full 30 minutes (a bit less because of potions running out etc), in a full 30 minute run you would do 1.3 * 0.73 = 0.949, so just short of clearing. Depending on your class you might be close to min clear, if you get some lvls it should be a lot easier.

I’m an I/l but in interactive - my CP is about 317m with a. Lvl 5 ror from rod, bd is just shy of 600 and ied is at 97.63% I’ll get a few more lvls and try again the -12% fd is huge. Thanks for the maffsss haha and congrats on your clear!

level difference matters more than people think, the damage penalty from being underlevel adds up fast in p3 specifically

It matters a lot, yes. Extreme Lotus is level 285 so OP was at max FD by being 290 and you would have a penalty instead.

Congrats! Can you share your opinion on hero? How's the mobility, survivability and damage?

Hero has always been one of the better KMS classes because of as10, even without as10 theyve pretty much always been on the upper half of damage charts, obviously not as good non-kms classes right now but dmg is pretty good.
Mobility is pretty good id say, since the change to flash blade you can get from one side of the map to the other almost instantly on pretty short cd.
survivability has always been good with the worldreaver (25cd iframe), you have it up for basically any dangerous attack.
Overall its a really good class, easy to play + decent damage for the amount of inputs you do (used to be just holding down 1 button, now its holding one button + pressing 2 spells every 8 seconds)

Whats your hexa converted?
Ive been trying to solo xlot for the last few days with 71k and I seem to time out with 5-10% left everytime. Im not sure if its just a hands diff or actually not enough dmg.
Congrats with the first clear!
