June Downtime Contest

[GM-Ayu]

Finally got a night to play but sad that heRO is down for maintenance so you can't grind away anymore? Do not worry, heRO still got something for you.


Starting from now until 23:59 of June 22nd server time, you can join this offline contest! Answer the question and PM me in forum or discord to submit your answer for a chance to win some fabulous prizes!


Question is:
Using any available gears, skills, consumables, buffs, and cards (including custom cards released TODAY) in heRO, what is the highest theoretical LUK stat possible for a single player with no buffs from another player/character?


Submit your theoretical character's class, stats, gears (including cards), consumables used and theoretical situation involved along with the final sum of your build's LUK stat. Also list your character name and your prizes of choice if you win the contest.


Remember that as this is a theoretical build, you can assume that you have access to every and all items available in heRO server that a regular player can theoretically get via grinding, including god items and mvp cards.


First place winner can win a Old Card Album[0] and choice of 1 gear obtainable in Splendide Field, Manuk Field, Scaraba Hole or Dicastes Field. Remember that a card is not a gear.



Offline Contest's FAQ:

Q: What if multiple people submitted the same optimal build?
A: Then first to submit counts as the first place winner.

Q: What if no one found the optimal build?
A: Contest rewards the one with the highest final LUK out of all submission, regardless if it is the true optimal build in heRO.

Q: Can I submit multiple answers?
A: Yes you can. You can submit multiple answers as a way for you to change your answer, in case you thought of a better build after your first submission. Just remember that time of submission counts if your build is perfectly identical to someone else's.

Q: Do I have to fill in my own character name...?
A: Hey if you want to submit an answer, then fill in someone else's character name so that this other person gets the rewards instead, sure by all means. Prizes will always go to the character name listed in your answer submission.

Q: When will the winner be revealed?
A: June 28th, when GM-Ayu is back from her business trip that will cut her off from internet access until the 28th.

PS: regarding the second point in the FAQ: shouldnt it be "the closer to the correct number will be the winner" instead of "then the higher luk number you say you'll win"? because then one can just write 999 LUK lol?

Late to post the response due to work, but we do have a winner!


Minntre is the winner with 223 LUK on the theoretical sinx build! Both the winning entry and the runner up entry opted for sinx, and although the runner up entry has a creative gloria trigger with puppy hat to pull off a massive situational 30 LUK, it was not enough to overcome forgetting about the double brisingamen as an option.

Interesting to note: every single entry has a different hat except for the 2 with tiranya posted publicly, though almost every other slots are the same if the entry has the same class.

Please contact me with your choice of reward, and it'll be delivered to you (eventually).


Thank you for everyone who participated in this quick forum event!
