CoX doesn't appreciate creative problem solving

Was doing some street sweeping in Croatoa working on badges (I'm a 4 year vet, but typically only play red side), and noticed Jack of Irons fighting Eochoi. Purely to see if I could, I started debuffing Eochoi and using my Incarnate abilities to help Jack of Irons, adding in my sonics as best I can (though they really didn't do much). It took a while, but in the end Eochoi fell, but I got no badge for my creativity.

Amusingly, I did get the Reward Merits though.

Even more amusing, once Eochoi was down, Jack of Irons one shot killed me. Guess he didn't appreciate my help

Thankfully, later I found a team to take both down and get the badges, but I totally think I deserved it from my first "solo" (with lots of help from JoI) victory

Badge credit is awarded based on the percentage of damage dealt to the target that's awarding the badge.

If Jack and Eo were fighting for an hour, going back and forth, they would each have dealt a tremendous amount of damage to each other. Because of GM regen, you wouldn't notice it.

Congrats on the solo kill though It feels mighty good to take down a giant monster by yourself!

Oh, I know why I didn't get the badge, but I really think that my constant debuffs of Eochoi is why Jack was able to do the damage in the first place I'm often a support character, and in this case, I just supported Jack! That totally should count

I am mostly being facetious. The badge would have been nice, but the satisfaction of "sort of" soloing a GM was well worth it
