Theoretical highest damage in one hit?

Just one hit, for spells hitting multiple times only the highest damage hit counts

I don't care about feasibility, this is purely for fun, go crazy with crits, powder specials, frame perfect inputs, amount of players, elemental weaknesses, etc.

Someone made a build doing 44m damage in a single quake on discord so that's what inspired this dumb question lmao

 

44 mil damage? What build was that?

 

At least 7

 

around 7 pennies

 

it would be pretty high

 

From what I know, it would be impossible to calculate if we care about elemental weaknesses because there’s really no limit to how weak something can be - we could consider the mob with the most weakness to an element in the whole game, but I have no idea what that is, so for now I will assume no elemental stats on the enemy we’re hitting.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the archetype most suited for tons of damage in one hit is the shadestepper, specifically with the Backstab ability, combined with Surprise Strike (with Ambush), Marked (with More Marks and Better Marked), and Satsujin, which can total up to 1419% of DPS (if I’m doing my math right). Now someone with more knowledge than me can find the dagger with the highest DPS in the game, but we’re forgetting one thing:

Crafted Items.
If you do them right, you can get a dagger specialized for tons of damage, even more than existing items, but as for the best way to do that I have no clue, so someone who’s an expert in this area can take it from here.

EDIT: I did do my math wrong, I forgot to factor the actual backstab part of Backstab, and I added Ambush's damage rather than multiplying, so max Backstab damage is actually 3251% of DPS. And of course, we need some kind of spell damage build around our dagger, as well as keeping in mind other classes can buff us in several ways (i.e. Paladin's Radiance or Acolyte's Vengeful Spirit)

 

heavy melee or spell wind prison shade stepper also 44million is impossible

almost 1 mill a hit with all the things maxed and all abilitys active with powder special

 

I hope you have a lot of friends!
Assuming you have warrior with ragnarokkr, a lightbender for radiance and fortitude, a vengeful spirit shaman, and have 3 archers (easiest powder application) use their powder specials (curse then courage then wind prison), assuming you have max marks and are in vanish with 1% hp, you can do a grand total of…
8.47 mil damage on 1 quake. (6.43 mil on backstab, 2.69mil on melee)
The build:

Plus we can consider stuff like potions
Maybe even raid buffs?

 

clearly more than 12 mL

 

This one is very close to the one I saw on discord, the one will multiple people using powder specials and stuff before the actual quake hit

 

TLDR: 80 879 311 (80.8 million) damage
Note: Since elemental defence numbers of mobs are not listed anywhere, I have to assume no elemental weaknesses.

So the basic idea of dealing maximum damage in a single hit is stacking as many % buffs together as possible. Ss other people have said, this is best done by a shadestepper assassin, using backstab.

From assassin we can have 6*12% marks, a 120% boost from surprise strike and a 150% boost from satsujin.
The external buffs we use are radiance, ragnarokkr, vengeful spirit and fortitude. We also use the powder specials curse, courage and air prison, and have a maxed out killstreak, and 1% health with 3 rage armor pieces.

We use an almost full crafted build with a cataclysm since it has the highest base dps of any dagger. We use bete noir for the dex we need for cataclysm, and we can still use chestplate powders for the killstreak boost by hotswapping to bete for the combo. Obviously, all point are in strength were possible, and dex otherwise.

The following is the outcome: https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/build...QQ1u2C+G00001g00001001Z61B1B050505050ez-NkkL7

We can get crits for up to 20 581 851+20 071 565=40 653 416. Thats 40 million damage, and we dont even use consumables yet.

We also use the following consumables (note: you would have to make you you consume in the right order to getal the best bonuses):

Food:
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#1AYAY8Y8Y8Y8Y9f91 (122% spell damage)
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#1AYAY7o7o7o7o9f91 (192 raw spell damage)
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#1AYAY4E4E4E4E9f91 (66% thunder damage)
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#1AYAY5k5k5k5k9f91 (104% earth damage, 36 strength)

Potions:
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#19Y9Y6g6g6g6g9j91 (632 raw spell damage)
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#19Y9Y8C8C8C8C9j91 (164% spell damage)
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#19Y9YA1A1A1A19j91 (172% thunder damage, 148% earth damage)

Scroll:
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#19Y9Y787878789o91 (116% spell damage, 122 raw spell damage)
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/crafter/#19Y9Y9r9r9r9r9o91 (140% thunder and earth damage)

Buyable Potions:
+20 strength
+20 dexterity
+24% spell damage

All this for a total boost of:
56 strength (enough to max out at 150)
20 dexterity (also enough to max out)
426% spell damage
946 raw spell damage
378% thunder damage
392% earth damage

If we put this into wynnbuilder we can find the maximum single hit damage is:
40 743 996 earth damage + 40 135 315 thunder damage for a total of

80 879 311

damage in a single hit. Yep 80.8 million. I may even be missing some buffs or an aproach but the true value, if it isn't this, is definitely bigger.

It would be very hard to pull of, because all the consumable buffs need to be applied in the right order, and only last 10 seconds. then all the player based buffs including powder specials need to be used, the shortest of which lasting only 4 seconds. then you would need to get a 150% killstreak bonus (since only one piece thats the 17th kill). then you would have to take of that chestplate, put on bete noir and get down to 1 hp. All of this without moving more than 360 total blocks or getting hit, since that would break your 1 durability crafted gear. But it is theoretically possible to do all that, so 80.8 million damage it is. Also because of violent vortex you would deal about 56.5 million damae to every other enemy within 10 blocks, so if you do manage to pull it off, at least you destroy everything around you.

Anyway I spent way too long doing this, so I hope you are happy with the number.

 

but what if you did this to a hunted mode player who was wearing scarlet veil(all w6) and phantasmagoria(all w6) on a shaman class, the sheer amount of negative elemental and regular defenses along with shaman having the lowest base defense of any class would probably do even more damage

this doesn't even account for the shaman target taking various consumables to debuff their defenses further

too lazy to actually put the numbers in but I'm just saying it could be way higher

 

Nobody cares about that, the REAL question is this:

theoretical highest damage in one hit using Dodegar's Ultimate Weapon

 

Yall are forgetting Armour Breaker smh.

 

TLDR: Shadestepper is overpowered and can do 80+ million damage.
We should all go play assassin now :3
also, I found this in a loot chest, maybe we can use this?

 

Sir I don't think that's normal

 

Highest theoretical dmg in one blow:

 

integer limit

so the highest theoretical damage would be 12,884,901,882 (12.8 billion damage)?
integer limit for each element + neutral
also, if u had integer limit x3/3s poison and timed it perfectly, could you do integer limit x7 damage...

 

O n l y o n e h i t
Poison is a separate hit from your spells/melee
Also we don't know if it's mathematically possible to do that much damage because this isn't hypixel skyblock
