Exactly when do people start being able to one shot chargers (and other very easy to kill npc's)
Even when I buff to 60k+ npc attack (I was drannik for a bit) I find myself short.

Is it limited by their damage cap and thus rank? if so, what level does it become possible?

Curious, as i suspect gaining the ability to do this will make getting exp efficiently a hell of a lot easier.

Thanks

(current rank 897, if it helps)

I don't remember but it was over 1k but my attack was much less than 60k. I can do it at 30k irregularly, 35k was regularly, 40k was often.

You can quasi-figure it out yourself. Since you are level 897, its hull/shields would need to be 2,243 (2.5 your level) for you to even have a chance.

While I admit that their hull/shield go up as you level, it isn't as often as you'd think. Do the math based on what you see now and determine when the earliest you will be able to one shot it.

Thats basically the info i was after

They currently have 2400 health, and yup, they inevitably have less than 200 health left after a hit. (180 on the one i just test-hit at 45k attack)

Thanks for the help.

Basically, 960 is the first time you might 1 shot them (assuming their stats don't go up between now and then).

For comparison purposes, at level 1157, they have 2800 health (def up to 4117).

I think they do go up by then; I recall being happy about being close to one shotting them at one point, and then they got more health before that. I could be mis-remembering, but don't get your hopes too high.

Weird...I was one-hitting chargers and runners frequently for quite some time now, without buffing to 60k att. I don't understand why you are having issues

He's a lower level, so they have a lower damage cap.

Mylarai Extractor is the only other thing I regularly one shot.

Runners are 900+

chargers are 960-977 then back to 2 until 1040+

extractors are 936+

Others become available but they are 2k+
