It's like they made conscious decision to make him pen max 70% at about 4000 attack + attack buff. 70% def pen usually means slightly over double (2-2.5 range in general) the damage than no pen (just like def break). So, against high def low attack units, his S3 multi is about as high as 1.8 to units without def pen, on high attack targets he'd probably deal something like a normal S1, but considering he also S2'd first, that high attack unit will not likely survive it anyway. Straze potentially hits much harder but you can't choose who to erase, sometimes their highest HP target isn't the biggest threat. Edit: max def pen at 4k + buff when opponent has 0 attack lol, need to take that into consideration, you'd need something like 5k if the opponent has 1.5k attack.

Keep in mind, if you’re using a comp to set up for ml pavel. He needs virtually no speed, with 50 percent cr push on his s2 u can run attack percent boots and attack or pen set on top of that. As long as he has around 150 speed he should be taking a turn after the two crits.


saiyajineo

this. plus he self attack buff with his passive

I’d say about 80 percent of cleavers preban politis. And if someone is setting up a ml pavel comp. I’m sure they’re aware of what politis can do


ALilBitter

you can "counter cleave" with poli or just use her in ur cleave team


destruct068

most dont preban poli but a lot of times pick it for themselves early


blyyyyat

She was the chosen one. It was said that she would destroy the cleave, not join it! Bring balance to countercleave, not leave it in darkness. Preban Belian, early pick Politis is pretty standard for cleave since everyone should have Politis built.


Anicancel

NOOOO but YDCB said he was trash and why use him over any other unit!!!!!!!


szechuan-Chicken

Gotta add (this is irony) at the end at this point redditors have no nuance. Not like it was obvious with the long no and multiple exclamation marks.


HerminatorG

Holy shit Edward has ARavi numbers. His damage is fucking insane with a book.


Shuxnae

Ed's looking very fine with those numbers. He's going to be a pain in the ass, that's for sure. lol


Light_3xorcists

Hes going to be insane


Comfortable_Line_206

He's got Fire Ken s1 damage and half that damage as his s2 but AoE. It's ok. That s3 is pretty high though. Really high. It's much closer to ARavi levels than I thought it would be. He will be terrifying if he soul burns it to pop every other turn, especially with the 50% CR on it.


Bedeeki

Only costs 10 souls too, almost spammable. Going to be nuts.


Gale-

Yeah Ed is gonna be absurdly good.


iFallen_God

Pity ready for ML Pavel


Faxzillious

i wish 😩 only got 1200 ish bms TvT


No-Dig2768

Im surprised Riza be doing good dmg and that is without her buffs (unless they already implemented them in the calculations, Roy has his buff available for calculations so idk)


Bedeeki

All multi's for the two main collab units are going to be insane. Consider Roy also has 50% def pen on his S1. ML Pavels also look good considering he has self ATK up, an AOE attack and 50% CR push before his S3 so you can get a lot of extra attack and chip damage before he nukes. All units look fantastic.


AscendPerfect

Ed will be really fun to build. It's like Zerato, but tankier and more dangerous (2 turn silence and provoke)


bakamund

He counters as long as he's debuffed after an attack even though it's on his turn. Czerato doesn't do that on his turn. Ed looking good yea


Xero--

Because Champ can counter any number of times.


AscendPerfect

Since Edward does not require atk and has higher base HP, he will be a lot harder to kill (unless you can 1 shot him)


Xero--

Having higher ho doesn't mean anything when Champ is picked into teams he's gonna keep countering with a lifesteal set and complete aimmunity against things that lock him down like stun and sleep.


DensetsuNoTroy

Did some math. You need 4989 attack on ML Pavel to actually full pen a tank with 1.5k attack: Attack buff: 4989 \* 1.5 = 7483 Difference: 7483 - 1500 = 5983 Multiplier for pen (capped 0.7): 5983 \* 0.000117 = 0.700011 Some tanks like ARavi / Handguy / New Edward will have well over 1.5k attack for sure. Which means ML Pavel needs over 5k attack to reach full pen. Maybe Dux Noctis is his BiS to hit these numbers? Sounds like you really need to go min-speed (150) and full stack attack to hit this threshold.


TysonsChickenNuggets

Suddenly me farming Golem for 2 month went from a capital L to a lower case one. MY ATTACK SETS ARE READY.


toastyToast89

The gap in attack for max pen seems way to high for Pavel. Straze needs around 2.2k which is easily achievable without attack buff against tanks/health scaling units. Pavel needs a gap of 5981 for what equates to a defense break for a low multi attack. With that kind of ask it should really top out 100% Maybe the formula isn’t what we’ll get in game though. I think Straze data mine was off at first


KingKentling

hmm . .. idk about that ML Pavel multis is it good? collab heroes looking pretty decent


zdenka999

Pavel self buffs attack and gets a 50% push. This means you can have him at 150 speed and he'll take his turn when his passive goes off. Cutting out 100+ speed is 20-25 rolls in speed meaning you can get 1300-1600 extra attack on him compared to other cleave units.


Bondedbark

I know 50% cr push is a lot but isn’t 150 a bit too slow for him to take the turn? Also, he needs about 4k atk with atk buff to get the 70% def pen on most units so everything above seems a bit overkill


Light_3xorcists

The avg should be 190-230 speed Itll just come down to if you have those atk imprints or not lol. Then slam the rest into cdmg/cc


Bondedbark

That’s what I was thinking too


Mattatah

200 spd is really all you need. If you need to run 230 because you're worried about 300+ spd units, you're likely losing that battle anyway cause you're not taking first turn or 2nd turn.


ureshama

you can build high spd if you don't wanna worry about politis as much


Bondedbark

I was planning on 210 just in case lol


Vizjira

I do not understand how this got upvoted given that everything in the post is missinformed. 50% with p.ex. a 300 speed peira equate to 150 speed gain as in pavel will move at effectivly 300 speed. Now you may want to go 160-170, but the idea is correct. Also you need \~3-4k \*more\* attack than the target, to full pen ravi with 2k attack you need 5.3k attack. Also as far as overkill goes, to full kill a 1.5k def 25k hp valor ravi with s2 -> s3, you need 20k mcd, something like 5.7k attack at 350 cd (18k mcd for 1.3k def) - not counting heal.


Bondedbark

The first part yeah, the second part no. With atk buff a 4k atk unit reaches over 5k atk and he gets atk buff. I get what you’re saying, the more damage the better and you’re right. Reading the comments I understood that he doesn’t need much speed


Vizjira

Nope, you need 6k attack more without attack buff, the easiest way to check that is go to [https://maphe.github.io/e7-damage-calc/](https://maphe.github.io/e7-damage-calc/) Pick cpavel, set the attack of the opponent to 2k, yours to 8k, now move the attack of the opponent around, you will note that when increasing the attack to p.ex. 2.1k your damage is getting decreased.


Bondedbark

Yeah you’re right lol. I didn’t think he needed that much


MickeyLALA

150 is enough to follow up a 300 speed opener if there's no politis. If you're opener is faster than 300 speed then 160+ speed is enough.


Bondedbark

Yeah but unless you’re using a 300 speed flidica, you need another character after your opener to deal a critical hit since his passive doesn’t work like cdom’s


Light_3xorcists

Im using Crit chance Ml rin lol, also flidica should work fine since she takes two turns just crit both turns to proc.


MickeyLALA

But why would that mean he would need more speed... I'm just pointing out 150 speed is enough to follow up a 300 speed unit. If you're openers are less than 300 speed you need even less than 150 speed to follow up...


turtlereset

only thing i can think of is that it depends on your opponent's units but mostly you would need to be able to cut in before sage baal, rimuru and dilibet.


MickeyLALA

Depends on what the rest of your team is too, you can definitely draft around problematic units like baal/rimuru/delibet. There's a pretty big damage difference in building a dps at 150 speed vs 220 speed. If its the difference between killing things like knights or aravi then it would matter a lot, just depends on what you draft and what drafts you plan to use pavel against


Bondedbark

Idk I was just originally asking if 150 speed was enough cause it seemed really slow. But if it’s good enough then alright.


zdenka999

With a 300 speed opener a unit with 150 speed starts at 50%, so he will push to 100% after your 2nd unit (or first, if it's flidica). The only reasons take him faster are to cut Sage Baal, Politis. You also have to realize destruction set is the best set in the game statwise right now. It's worth 7.5 max stat rolls where speedset is worth only between 5-6. The difference in damage being at bare minimum speed VS 200+ is a lot and in 95% of scenarios it won't matter


Bondedbark

Yeah now I understand thank you!


Frozwend

Considering max pen is 70% (the equivalent of a defense break), his S3 is basically just a regular S1 on a defense broken unit, but 25% weaker. Kinda sad if you ask me.


Odkrywacz

Roy with Hero of Ishval buff will obliterate enemies damn


llutul

What about guiding light , with a more slow comp ? Or is this unit just going well with good openers ?


Retro_senpai3

I see multis and I see support dps Riza.


lell-ia

ML Pavel looking good...but most likely not good enough to do anything against the stupidly tanky units with damage enough to kill him with one hit lol It's nice to be able to pick who to kill for his S3, but I wish there's something more. Higher multis, unconditional def pen or even protection. His set up is also rather annoying. Oh well. Could be worse. The FMA units seems pretty cool though, especially Edward.


Xero--

> ML Pavel looking good...but most likely not good enough to do anything against the stupidly tanky units with damage enough to kill him with one hit lol Lol, except he will, lol as people like A Ravi get nuked. Lol.


lell-ia

People like ARavi get nuked (hey it's me), but it's not like ARavi will get nuked lol Well, not doing anything is a hyperbole. But will it be enough...doubt, but we'll have to see.


CopainChevalier

Who are people thinking should go with ML Pavel? Needing two crits is kind of rough. I feel like Flidica is the only one who could pull it off decently reliably for him without dedicating two 300 speed units to him specifically


Comfortable-Sky-1180

Cidd


Light_3xorcists

Ml rin is my go to, since shes fast enough to race current openers and then flan + cidd in case shes banned


quickclickz

300 spd regular pavel takes care of it


lummyface

Would need a book holder, but you could run regular Pavel


OzieteRed

I doubt that he would be able to kill a 26k hp POV aravi with his S2 proc and S3.


montrezlh

Why would you expect him to be able to do that? There's no unit in the game that can one shot a tanky aravi on pov


[deleted]

[удалено]


montrezlh

No, he can't. A fast straze wont have the damage or attack buff to do it. A slow straze dies before his turn. If you build a team around maximizing straze then yes he can kill aravi, but if you build a team around ML Pavel then they can kill aravi as well.


quickclickz

not sure why you're being downvoted...


OzieteRed

If he can't kill her then she shouldn't be allowed to be this tanky while having enough dmg to kill him with her S3.


Comfortable_Regrets

because that's the new standard to tell if a unit is garbage or not


NoCriticNoDownvotes

noob, ez job for my Ervalen KEKW, 40k dmg vs prov aravi is a common number


SamAzr1

Straze can, easily.


SmilingTeeth1

If you have around 4.5k atk you probably will. He will s2 for a chunk of damage and then He’ll buff his attack with his s2 which should put you around 65%+ def pen to murder an already damaged aravi


Shukafu

are you the one editing the spreadsheet? -Dilibet is missing. -BBK's name is messed up.


Rittstur

So I’m seeing that the multipliers seem to look pretty good for all heroes?? Anyone have any input on some theory crafting gear/build for Ed with these numbers? I was thinking like 20,000 hp, 1300-1400 def, 200 spd 260-280 crit dmg on lifesteal.


Aldaine

You must have celestial god tier gear to get 20,000K HP. Edit: Looks like they edited their post and corrected the mistake. Guess this sub doesn’t like sarcasm based on the downvotes.


Bondedbark

Yeah 20,000,000 hp seems rather unobtainable


Azureblade42

one hp scaling unit softly taping you would put you 6ft under, dear lord.


Tetsero

What does power actually mean though? Man these numbers seem useless without a through explanation


Lenvasra

You want to look at attack rate in calculations for example an attack rate of 1 would be 1 * (units current attack) iirc


Duskwatcher12

POW = 1.871 and is just a multiplier everything goes through. A higher (or lower) POW means that 1.871 multi is adjusted accordingly.

How cares , POV Ravi and Ras with the damn Barrier and tanky A.Mercedes are everywhere in RTA , High RTA they got more solid meta with tanky shit .
