Battle Royale

So, thinking about the Eochai vs Jack fight that takes place in Croatoa made me curious about a few things.

First, does either one of them ever win? I've stood on the hill and watched them for a bit once or twice, marveled at the scope of it, but always left without noticing if their healthbars were actually moving. Is it a constant stalemate? Do they actually put each other down?

Which led me to wonder what would happen if we had a Giant Monster fight club.

Who would win;

Jurassik VS Adamaster

Babbage VS Titan

Paladin VS Kraken

U'Kon VS Winter Lord

Deathsurge VS Scrappy

Also makes me think it would be cool to have GM's as gladiators. GM battle royales. If for no other reason than the cool factor.

Thoughts?

Someone who knows the mechanics of things better than me would have to tell you about those other fights, but I do know that the Jack and Eochai never finish their fight by "winning" without player help. Their GM-level regeneration outpaces their ability to damage each other.

This is why you can occasionally miss out on the badge if they've been wailing upon each other for a long time before you jump in to take them down; they'll have done so much damage to each other, without last effect, that their entire health bars represent less than 10% of the damage done to them since they spawned. Unless that has been changed.

There was a time before GM regen was buffed that they could kill each other. Jack usually won.

I could have sworn that there was a video several years ago that had GM vs GM fights. I've looked everywhere I can think of to find it but came up unsuccessful. Maybe my poor 'ole brain is getting confused again.

Thought it's not actually mentioned in the list, I seem to remember over on Protector back when we'd regularly get several Kronos Titans and Babbages to spawn on top of a number of controllers with confuse that Kronos would regularly win out.

Sorry, when I saw the topic I my overexposure to Japanese manga and movies got my synapses firing in this direction:

Honestly if there were a battle royale with all the GMs I think the Lord of Winter would almost certainly win since it goes completely invulnerable every quarter health loss and brings in buddies to sustain it.

The LoW would hold aggro from the opponent GM for at least a little while until the incoming WL did enough damage to attract its attention each time giving the enemy a rather sizable disadvantage.

Can you put GMs into AE to find out?


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Every time the winter event rolls around I think of how cool a Winterlord vs. Eochai fight on top of the Golden Giza would be. Just for the spectacle as there are Quartermasters on that building.


It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

I've never looked into it, but I think you can, yes. I seem to recall someone on those forums saying he used AE to stage a lot of such battles just to watch.
