Title: What is the meaning of the Drake MVP card?
Post by: xKyriex on Feb 20, 2010, 02:29 AM
I could not find a clear place for this so I suppose I will post this here until moved if need be. :3

I was hunting GR at the sunken ship and decided to randomly kill Drake. Lo' an' behold I got his mvp card instead and not the GR one (twisted fate it is </3).

"Nullify reduction in damage inflicted on enemies resulting from enemy's size"

I do not know if I'll make use of this card, but being my first mvp card I'm bit anxious. xD;

Please and thank you. <3

Basically, different weapons do a % based on what kind of weapon they are.

This is the table of size modifiers and penalties:

http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=misc_table_size

For instance: Daggers do 100% damage versus small monsters, 75% versus medium, and 50% versus large.

Basically it's the type of logic that you wouldn't bring a sword to a gun fight.

Likewise: a little shiv is not going to be able to kill Detale for instance. A 2h-Sword or a pike or spear would be better (in real life and in the RO size modifiers).

Using a Drake card restores the penalty versus those monsters, so your favorite dagger can do the full 100% versus large monsters.

Kind of a s*** MVP card if you ask me =\

How would this work against demi-humans? If I can get the right cards I might use both my good bows and separate the emp breaking cards and demi-human cards.

drake card only nullifys reduction of damage on enemy size < damage adding % cards are better

sorry if i'm bursting your bubble, but Drake MVP card is a useless card, when I first got one before it felt good and i thought "OMG I GOT COOL UBER HACKS MVP CARD!" I tried it on and saw my damage did crap compared to like say using Thanatos card or Incantation Samurai MVP cards or even Turtle General cards instead, I won't recommend it for using versus monsters or pvp, other cards can do a whole lot better, Congrats tho on getting an MVP card

It's useful in Renewal, but the Renewal in itself is useless

It's basically perma weapon perfection in card form.

It's supposed to make you think about why it was made.

It has a better use on low rates, but it's still not that great. Even on iRO, it's the worst MVP card. On anything higher, it's a worthless piece of (bleep). -_- The only thing I can really think of is if you wanted to use a claw or book in PvP on a low rate, but maces are so much easier to come by. It only affects the weapon attack, not your base attack. If I ever get a Drake card, I'm tossing it on the ground. I don't care what rates I'm playing. Drake is pretty much useless.

I'm actually sort of a pack rat, and with the high storage on the server I play I like to take advantage of that and save any card I get. So even if it is a useless card for me, still keeping it. <3

Thanks for the info guys. :3
