If you stored investiture with that intent? And take two jars of dor to give yourself a nice head start So you're going the "fullestborn" route, I actually planned out how I would beat kandra tlr w/ infinite primers and infinite spikes • Cadmium grenades - return to sender with sand ribbon or any aether • Become speed - even a speedy Boi will have problems with getting through my tornado of sand, crystal, plants, lightning, etc. I can throw cadmium grenades, pushing on them with zephyr and/or sand • +atium - sure you can predict where the attacks will be, but that doesn't mean you can avoid them, you couldn't avoid a boulder soulcast around your head, I also have off brand electrum as a counter • Spike pull - I grow crystal to hold it, you also need to be close for that, if you try to go towards me by pulling, then you run into a tornado of doom again, plus I just make a crystal wall • Healing - larkin eats your metalminds while I attack • Aluminum shielded healing inside body/aluminum bones- at this point, I just try to run down your healing • Putting it all together and leeching me - we play the slow and painful Aon Tia game, I keep teleporting away, slowly wearing you down, trying to get you to a point where you run out of health or are completely vaporized and I can simply grab the metalminds out of your body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you misunderstood my post, it was about how my character could beat @Otakurogue's character, not how I could beat yours, I don't even have A-iron or Atium, or F-Iron.

Tamriel Wolfsbaine Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Okay. I won't use the whole 1000 points but on a scale of fun characters I would want to play or see. In an attempt to make a fun strong character in as few points as possible. Midnight aetherbound 24pt Kandra with aluminum truebody 5pt Medallion with F steel and F bendalloy. 24pt That is 53pts for a pretty solid base offering functional immortality that can only be further enhanced with breaths. Titrate your heightenings to whatever point value you want to end on. For a <500 pt build you could have 9th heightening with this as well. Go to Roshar. Awaken a blade and some light armor for yourself. Make lifeless larkin for leeching and a pack or more of lifeless whitespines as well. With the remaining points if you want to bump all the way to 1000 I would probably toss on lerasium and a bag of atium as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weaver of Lies he/him Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 That’s true. I think it works be necessary because dead shardplate seems to block investiture transfers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoid without wit he/him Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 this is really fun, so here's mine. my goals are to be unkillable, able to go anywhere, and then I'll work in as much damage as possible. to start, feruchemist and mistborn. (384)so I have gold compounding. now I can only die if I run out of gold. I also will use steel compounding for a ton of speed, and make bendalloy bubbles. I will also use chromium compounding because INFINITE FORTUNE. now for step 2. 3rd oath skybreaker(+200)(584) so I can go up high as I want and have a shardblade. 2nd oath elsecaller, so no sneaky hiding in Shadesmar. (+50)(634) and my race is sleepless, so I can fit through small places, and in case both my gold and radiant healings fail. nex-im fused(+20)(654) so I can't be easily trapped and for extra speed. raysium weapon(+300)(954) 5th heightening(+40)(994)and a Larkin because adorable(+5)(999) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also use chromium compounding because INFINITE FORTUNE. One small point I want to mention; technically you don't have infinite Feruchemical attributes, as your Allomantic strength determines how much Feruchemical charge you get per unit of metal burned- you could either choose to constantly have a smaller boost to your attributes via Compounding (just benefiting from burning Feruchemical stores) or store a bunch over a period of time and tap it at a much quicker rate over a shorter period of time. Still, very powerful. 12 hours ago, witless hoid said: and a Larkin because adorable(+5)(999) It's true, they are pretty cute as far as monster-bug-things go Edited May 17, 2023 by Trusk'our 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunsoulcastablestick Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) This was a very fun challenge, I basically gave myself anything I think is fun, (hence the 5 Larkin) but I think this would be a highly formidable combo Siah Aimian = 5 Elantrian = 200 Aviar(cognitive concealment) = 12 6th awakening = 70 Mistborn = 192 Feruchemist = 192 Jar of purified dor = 300 5 Larkin = 25 total = 996 Edited May 17, 2023 by theunsoulcastablestick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, here is a problem - 4 spikes is the limit after which you don't get any more power, and Shards can control you. With the knowledge from Nightwatcher you would likely be able to put more powers into a single spike, but still you would have to have less than 4 spikes in your minions. Any feruchemist with lots of connection stored can break into Hemalurgist with many spikes, Bondsmith can do the same, emotional Allomancy as well. Half of the people there are Fullborn Bondsmiths so good luck anyway Spoiler Dopetruffles And finally, whether a duralumin compounder could break into a kandra? Brandon Sanderson Um... yes, possible, yeah. WorldCon 76 (Aug. 18, 2018) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
