DCUO: Dark Multiverse Card Notes

Image
The Arrow Rule: Each card has an attack side, denoted with arrows along the edges of the cards. Play a card adjacent to one of Batman Who Laughs' cards. If your card attacks a side with no arrows, then your card will defeat his. Superman = UP Wonder Woman = DOWN Batman = RIGHT Hawkgirl = UP, DOWN Nightwing = UP, RIGHT Robin = LEFT, DOWN The Hierarchy Rule: The cards have a  power order, like a hand of cards. When arrows from two cards meet, the strongest card will win. The order of strength is as follows: Superman Wonder Woman Batman Hawkgirl Nightwing Robin IMPORTANT:  The Arrow Rule supersedes the Hierarchy Rule! You will need to pick 3 cards to defeat The Batman Who Laugh's 4 cards in each hand. Because of this, it means at least 1 of the two-direction cards (Hawkgirl, Nightwing, Robin) will be used each time. Associated Feats Aced It [Any Version]: Complete are hands without failing (* event only has 1 hand). Murder of Robins [Normal...

DCUO: Combat Rating Math

Image
Many of us have become dependent on the Odyssey Combat Rating Calculator , which was the most complete one on the Internet, featuring detailed gear breakdown, attuning as well as being able to pull your character's current breakdown from the census. But recently their account on Enjin expired and renewal doesn't seem to be on the way. There is an alternative  by DCUO Bloguide , which does almost the same thing...but it is missing the gear attuning calculations. The main point of this article is that no player created application has guaranteed uptime as people come and go all the time. So I wanted to breakdown how CR works and how you can come up with the right numbers in the case that all of these web apps expire. Combat Rating Breakdown Each gear piece has a percent modifier that gets applied to its item level. They are as follows: Weapon = 12% Head = 11% Neck = 6% Back = 8% Chest = 12% Legs = 12% Ring 1 = 6% Trinket = 6% [Note: this takes the highest trink...

DCUO: Bronze Metal Chroma

Image
Out of the Metal Chromas that were introduced with the Dark Knights Time Capsules, the Bronze seems to be the least in demand. It at least shares the lower tier in the broker (USPC/PS) with Purple & Green. It is still however pretty great looking. With it being the cheapest at the moment (9/2/2019, 18:50), it turns out most of my recent posts feature it. So I wanted to aggregate everything in one place. Converting a Champion Bronze Material Style to Bronze Metal Chroma Bronze Dragonarmor on Longfist Serpent Guard Conversion [left] Serpent Guard Armor on Teal'c (inspired by Stargate SG-1 ) This example was a straightforward conversion of a non-material style into a metal chroma. The Cybernetic base armor (chest & legs) just worked without having to adjust the styles out. The new chroma material by far outshines the metallic armor colored the traditional way. Testing it Outside of the Green/Bronze Palette Bronze Dragonarmor Fire Test on Alyssa C...

DCUO: Precautions for Weapon Pass

Image
There will be an effort to balance weapons so there's less difference between the various types as well as bring them up-to-par with might/powers. Full details can be found here: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/dcuo/index.php?threads/development-update-weapons-and-artifacts.303564/ One of the major changes will be the the Venom Wrist Dispenser (VWD). Players who have a Venom Wrist Dispenser at or above rank 80 will automatically have their artifact boosted to a higher rank. If your Venom Wrist Dispenser is between rank 80 and 100, it will be boosted to rank 120. If your Venom Wrist Dispenser is between rank 101 and 140, it will be boosted to rank 160. If your Venom Wrist Dispenser is between rank 141 and 160, it will be boosted to rank 200 (maximum rank). You will want your VWD to be above 80 if you're using it. If partially leveled, ideal points would be 81, 101 & 141 as you will gain the most from the free boost when this update goes live. DO NOT leve...
