I also took a few shots of all of the regen debuffs stacking up. It gives a nice breakdown of the blasts and the debuffs. Thought folks might be interested to see it in action.



This one was the last one of 5 I took as I was dying (yes, despite my provocative attire, Hami showed me no mercy). You can see the values adding up when you look from the first to last.

Yeah, I went there. And only Myrmydon knows what I'm talking about (again).

How's this for a simple strategy for tankers:

You have 6 teams of 8 and one team of 2. The team of 2 are the two Hammy taunters. They are responsible for having enough regen, hitpoints, inspirations, and any other tricks to survive Hammy for the three waves.

The other six teams are each responsible for a yellow, a green, and a blue mito, in that order. With all six yellows taking damage at once, the greens' heals should be divided and fairly easily overcome.

The greens will be tougher. Stone, Ice, and Super Strength have holds in their secondaries, but none of the others do. The epics can give you char, block of ice, and fossilize. Tech tankers get the little taser dart hold. You can get a temp power tear gas from day jobs or a safeguard missions; Golden rings from the winter events; and genetic restabilizer from a story arc. HVAS and Recluse Victory mini Heavies also have hold attacks.

If memory serves, green mitos have 50 mag protection. If all eight tankers have two holds and Vanguard accolade you might have enough mag to overcome the mito's resistance. But I doubt that all six teams will have that many holds.

Hmmm . . . so much for the three mitos to a team plan. I guess you could have the teams take out their yellow and blue and then all join together to take down the greens one by one.

Alternatively, you could keep the basic strategy: have a team of yellow taunters, a team of Hammy taunters, a team of yellow damage, and aggregate all the tankers with holds into the green team.

If the two taunt groups were all on one team, they could also jump in and taunt Hammy if necessary, once their yellow was down. So one taunt team of eight and one yellow damage team of eight leaves 34 tanks to take down the greens. That should definately be enough unless as long as those tanks have at least one hold.

But I didn't blow up because this was the first phone my son got to pick out for himself and I didn't want to ruin it for him.

Let me know if I need to switch gears to the lower tank for leveling and I will. I have not touched the second build on either toon yet so I can make a secondary build from scratch.

Let me know if I can help, what we need for the builds and point me at what to hit.

This sounds like fun.

We've been using 1 Tank on Hami for quite a while so the people responding will be referencing that method. When we used the rotating Tank team, many did not have capped HP.

Have no problem respec'ing into an Earth's Embrace / Rooted build with high recharge, but I don't have a ton of influence - I can liquidate a few hundred million in short order, but if this is going to hit post-GR / market merger, I can transfer a few billion from villain side as needed, just let me know.

P.S. Stop being civil, its less fun
