Damage reflect doesn't affect Chains of Hell. I dunno why Nexon made it that way but it's useful.

When you see the purple thingy, it's the start of that animation. Anytime you see 1's you stop right away.

Does DR not affect CoH or something? Also, what is the sign that it will do DR?

[quote=LeeJoon]How do you know when it's going to cast DR? I've seen a purple sword thing on top of the head but it didn't kill me or even drain my HP but when I killed everything except the last head and it had like 1cm of hp left, I died and the purple sword popped up again..[/quote]

Since you got a really high damage range, what I would suggest is try to use Chains of Hell in the very end to time this. I know it's a little less DPS but just use it until it has DR. Keep using it on DR then once it's over, use buffs + Asura since it cannot cast another one for a while. Afterwards, keep using Phantom Blow for another 30 seconds and switch back to using CoH.

@LeeJoon: The very top left head inside full body fight. The damage reflect will hit like 5k per attack so Asura is very dangerous to use on it. That's why I generally use CoH and avoid Asura until the damage reflect is over because damage reflect has a cooldown more than 20 seconds.

[quote=Gallade96][b]google[/b] says channel 11.
I also [b]googled[/b] that horntail Chaos HT has 1.495b hp x 10 (including preliminary heads). ~15b HP total 15b/ 150minutes = 100m dmg per minute Divide that by 60sec = around 1.6m dmg per second of constant damage.

I love you. Marry me and have my babies.

@nightdrks Perfect. Just the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks!
@puretppc Thanks! It really gave me a better idea of what to expect.

Btw, which parts of HT does damage reflect and how can you tell before he does it? Is it too risky to use asura?

[quote=LeeJoon]What range is ideal to solo chaos horntail? Also, what channel does chaos horntail spawn in?[/quote]
I did it with a [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/show/screen/225300/0/Chaos_horntail_solo_dual_blade.html]56k clean range[/url]

Is it that hard?[/quote]

good job on taking the above posters heavily implied sarcasm and putting it into a post.

takes me like 22mins with
120k range 60% boss 12% total dmg

Ok, first of all, I didn't ask how much HP it had. I asked what the ideal range was. Second of all, I only added the channel part because the post would've been too short if I didn't. So to @Gallade96 and his servant that just copied him @Tenka you just made yourselves look like idiots.
@FreeWii4Mii Thanks for that heads up.

@Gallade96 don't forget that heads use super defense up and damage reflect
