Get a team and join the melee zero time trials craze

If only I had half-decent Internet.

You can host. most of Melee zer0s here can adapt to lag

Anyone got a link on the melee zero damage formula? I keep getting this number (582,941K) in most of my executes and would like to see what zero skills I am missing.

I think I got it.
(base+shield) * (1+ambush) * (1+backstab) * (1+killing blow) * [ (1+weapon bonus) * (1 + deception + iron hand + counter strike + rising shot + be like water + followthrough + COM + BAR) + RELIC] * (1+execute) * (1+slag) * (1+crit) * (1+deathmark)

Level 72
(132,641+811,763)(1+.40)(1+.80)(1+0)(1+2)[(1+5.66+.15+0+0+0+0+0+.60+0)+0](1+1)(1+2)(1+0)*(1+.80) = 582,941,781 melee damage

I can’t find enough deception percentage discussion but i think I am getting only 566% deception damage bonus and not the full 650% (i think you can only get the full damage if the timer reads 0.00 secs).
5 secs - 230%
4 secs - 314%
3 secs - 398%
2 secs - 482%
1 sec - 566%
0 sec - 650%

I seem also not to get the best of Counter Striker, Rising Shot and Be Like Water in deception since they decay before I execute. For Like The Wind, as long as I can hold the movement button it procs but still unreliable.

I believe @Lammas said once that it doesn’t actually have to reach 0 but something like 0.7 seconds hits maximum. I know this doesn’t sound right, but maybe this page will get him and he can clarify if someone else doesn’t ( like Enderborn , who’s writing as I am )

Honestly this is already quite impressive burst damage. If you can also sneak some Rapier backstabs while waiting for your Decepti0n to come back you should take him out very very quickly.

I find that leaping into Execute (so you hit them while airborne) will ensure that Like The Wind procs. When Executing from the ground, it’s spotty.

The video is finally up :

It should be in 1080p60. I hope I’m not too rusty !

this, as long as you hold the movement while executing, boreshot and striker is doing that, they jump backwards and hold the back button then execute. i tried also moving forward and it procs LTW but sometimes I missed the target since I became too near to the enemy.

nat_zero_six · 2018-06-29T09:58:53.002Z

But i want to hit those insane numbers like this screenshot from striker

what am i missing? Or maybe this is a console thing.

nat_zero_six · 2018-06-29T16:25:34.648Z

Finally got a clean run.

Voracidous is even scarier.

I’m trying this out right now on the Peak, and I think it’s somehow helping. It might just be forcing me to focus on my Executes more effectively - I only have 3 points in LtW.

Regardless, I’m now one-shotting centurions, Scorch and the Black Queen. It’s pretty awesome.

On another note, I’m going to stop attempting to raid for a while. I’m clearly not on the same level as you guys and I keep kicking myself for it. I like the Peak and the arenas, so I’ll stick to that.
