Not mine, but during an eden trial with some friends, the fireblaster manage to dinged off about 2400 points of damage on a single inferno.

i believe the winner would be that peacebringer a long time ago, that was able to put his slots in 2 attacks when respec'd. He 2 shotted Hami and got the Bug Hunter Badge.

Many Millions, actually. I think Local Man has a screenie of the highest single damage point ever recorded. It was so high the game had to use scientific notation to display it correctly.

The closest City of would ever come to the ridiculous, over the top numbers you can achieve in Nippon Ichi games.

We need this screeny.

If I remember correctly the most damage ever done in 1 shot is when one of the houses in Steel Canyon actually burns down.


Do multiple Trip Mines count?

Cause if they do I was able to take out a Ballista in one shot.

Without glitches, yeah. They rip through anything.

This, and Crystal Titan's special attack. How lovely it is to do around 2,600 damage PLUS a second 1,300 damage (these are wild estimates, by the way) to ignore the one-shot code.

[Kill Monsters] also shows damage in scientific notation. I think it's some kind of Giant Monster despawning power.

The in-game name of that power is [Backdraft], as I recall.

This was awesome. I never tried it myself, but all the screenshots were just massively lol-worthy.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I think the highest non-glitch damage has to go to Inferno. When slotted and with Aim and Build Up, that puppy can burn a heckuva lot of hp.

But some of these sound win too

Everyone is talking about damage done to a single target, but if you add up all the damage done to all targets from a single AoE attack then you'll get some very big numbers. Okay, maybe not scientific notation big, but remember the seas of orange numbers floating up from the old dumpster diving days before the aggro limits and AoE target limits?

Ah, but did you solo it?

N.B. This post may be less funny than it ought to be, given that boasting about soloing things is more a 2008 thing.

I'll bet a damage-capped Inferno would do some pretty intense damage to a level 1 Hellion with his resist floored.

Maybe not as much as the "glitched" damages, but probably the highest legit damage, if you're counting one-shots not over time/multiple hits like Blizzard would be.

As a blaster? you're kidding.

Got the tank to aggro it, the Defender to buff me, the troller to lock it down and it still took me 3 hits! One of my most memorable fights tho. Srsly

I need to go home before I can upload the image from the screenshot I took, but with the bugged Touch of Lady Grey: Chance for Negative Energy Damage, I had a character one-shot Jurassik, doing, IIRC, "4.06311 e+011" points of damage.

I'm pretty sure, excluding bugs, the best case scenario is a damage-capped corruptor with a PBAoE nuke against a res-floored level 1 that is already injured.
That ought to be roughly:

~41.71 (corruptor base damage at 50) x 6 (DS for all three nuke hits) x 5 (buff cap) x 6 (level difference) x 4 (floored res) x 2 (scourge) = 60062.4

Inferno's extra DoT would push it a lot higher if it all hit, but of course nothing would survive to see it.

I don't know, cause if your going to be at damage cap,have the enemies resist in the negatives and lvl 50 vs lvl 1 I think the Double Assassins could probably match that.

Of course the Stalker can't set that up them self, but that's not relevant to the discussion is it?
