[quote=Axnslicer]You can just buy a respawn pass, then Empress becomes basically a joke. You can die as many times as you want. But yeah, without a respawn pass I wouldn't try Empress unless I either had a bishop or enough range to solo in under 15 minutes.

Dude, like half the people on Basil have 2M+ buffed range. Xenons don't even need unique potential on their armors to get this. They can reach 1.5 M with only good weapon potentials and rare/epic armor potentials.[/quote]
I think you uh... overestimate basil too much lol

[quote=fanglikescake]alight so if resapwn passes, does the same range still apply?[/quote]

Err, you can go lower, but like Aeraxis said, there is a pretty hard limit. If you can't do enough damage within the timer you won't succeed, regardless of how many lives you have. There's also the issue of Shinsoo, who both heals and shields Empress from damage. Basically, if you can't wipe out Shinsoo quickly enough, you'll never actually be able to deal damage.

I bring up the respawn pass merely as a counter to his argument about the control required for Empress, but he's also correct when he says the price of a respawn pass basically wipes out any profit. So at that point you're basically bossing for the sake of bossing.

Even with a respawn pass, there's a certain limit of character control required in order to succeed.

You may not be able to lose the fight by dying, but you [b]can[/b] still lose the fight by timing out, and dying constantly will only deplete the amount of time you have to complete the run.

I would not attempt to solo with anything less than a 1m range clean, 200% boss and 80% pdr. And even then,you'd [i]need[/i] god-tier control to succeed.

I quit the game 3 months ago, but I highly doubt that empress prices have rose enough that using NX on Emp runs is worth it again- so yeah, didn't factor in respawn passes.

[quote=iEvanMaster]At [i]least[/i] 1.5m+ clean range. 200-300% boss and 80% pdr. Range should be as high as possible, obviously but this is the minimum, I feel.

That should net you around 15-25m primary lines on snipe with crits.

Tbh, Empress is more about surviving than damage since you only have one life, unlike CRA/Magnus/Gollux.

One wrong move/mis-pot and it's over. Her genesis is especially annoying, when it fills up the screen, you have to make sure you're at full hp and tank it- don't get in between two genesis's either because the game will treat it as both connecting and since each does 90% of you HP as damage, two will instantly KO you.

If it's not a full map gene, make sure not to get hit by them at all since those are 1hko.

It's much harder than it sounds honestly, with the 30second potion cooldown in the map. I wish you luck.[/quote]
