How Does The Hiruko And Pascal Drone Work?

[acoustic kite]

Does anybody know exactly how the hiruko and pascal drone work in detail?

[neon quartz]

Which part are you confused about? Pascal just heals you and gives defense after you get below a certain percentage of hp and hiruko gives you defense and attack based on your dot stacks

I can give you a more in depth explanation if you’re a little more specific, or if you really want I can just explain the whole thing

[acoustic kite]

Yeah if you can explain the whole thing id really appreciate it. I have a general understanding of how it works but just a little confused about the actual numbers

[neon quartz]

Oh okay, pascal gives you a certain amount of healing based on the level of the drone every time you fall below a certain threshold in hp, as well as 10 defense points per threshold. It also gives you a permanent damage buff 7%, and a 4% damage buff every time you get either a kill or assist up to 5 times

Hiruko is a bit more confusing, it has the shotgun, and the second skill is a permanent max hp buff

The third skill gives you 30,000 extra max hp every time you use a module up to 8 times, so 240k hp, works very well with unstable conduit. It also applies 25 stacks of dot, which will be important for the last skill

The last skill gives the robot a damage boost of 1% for every stack of dot the robot has plus a 5% base boost. This means when you use the active module, you get the base 5% damage boost plus a 25% damage boost because you get 30 stacks of dot. If it wasn’t for that one effect of giving dot this drone would be only usable on like ochokochi

Hope this helps lol

So is the entire damage boost effect permanent once you get the damage stacks? And also, aside from the base damage boost, does it go up to 35% damage if you activate a module for a second to get the last 15 stacks? Sorry if I sound to confusing...

[neon quartz]

No, it lasts until the dot goes away which is 5s. There is no way to get the last 10 stacks, not 15, without being in ochokochi, which hiruko was designed for

[acoustic kite]

Oh okay I see what you mean. All this time I thought it was permanent. So I guess that drone and ocho really have the best synergy then. I did actually consider putting it on revenant tbh...

Oh wait, just realized my math was wrong....it was actually 10 not 15

[acoustic kite]

Also does ochokochi's ability produce dot stacks itself and convert incoming to dot, or is it just the second one?

[neon quartz]

just the second one

[acoustic kite]

ohh ok

[acoustic kite]

Sorry one more question.....How exactly do you even get the last 10 stacks if your using ochokochi?

[neon quartz]

take damage, lol you said it yourself that it converts damage into dot

[acoustic kite]

Oh yeah righ right

[acoustic kite]

Wait are there any google sheet stats for exactly how much dot stacks you receive from incoming damage?

[neon quartz]

the answer to that is don't worry about it you'll have enough stacks by taking damage

hoke doke 👍

Hiruko converts some of your HP into DOT stacks upon active module activation, then gives your robot 30k max hp for the entire battle. This HP bonus can stack up to 8 times, so you can gain additional 240k hp per robot. The last ability gives you a damage bonus for each stack of dot, which works well with the first ability since it turns your HP into dot. I think this damage bonus is 35%? And temporary, but I don’t know the duration

[neon quartz]

40%, there’s also a permanent 5% damage boost along with 35 stacks depending on dot. The duration also depends on the dot
