Relic Cheaters: A funny story (+AITAH?)
It's gaping jaw, I go ironeye, they pick duchess and executor. I usually check relics early into the game, duchess: magic+4/+2 and improved crystalian on all relics+other buffs, executor triple status+ phys+4 and atk up when facing poison/frost enemy (isn't even legit)
I reached 9999 before and deranked to depth 3 for the fun of it, this was a depth 4 game. When I saw those relics I was debating quitting out and calling it a day even with a penalty, but I decide to stick around, and perhaps, PERHAPS solo the boss when they both go down instead of reviving
Fast forward through duchess 5-shotting bosses yet both players going down often, it turns out to be ED gaping jaw. I watch not to draw aggro at the beginning, executor dies from the first hit, duchess deletes 1/10th of the healthbar with one cast before, well, dying. Now I wasn't planning to solo the boss this early into the fight, I pick up the executor, and he dies to the next hit, with plenty of time to dodge.
F it, we soloing. This is why I still play this game, the fun of it. I use my ult as an instant poison proc and fight for a couple of minutes till the boss is down to 30%. I slip up and get one-shotted by the double munch combo (true boss combo so dmg negation at full hp couldnt save me), and to my surprise executor had a wending grace!
Well I would think he wouldn't be happy with me and ignore me, but he ends up ignoring the duchess right next to him at one bar and sprinting for me! he uses his ult once he gets to me and the initial roar leaves me at a sliver of the revive bar
But the executor ult at the wrong time is a suicide button depth 4/5. He dies before he can put in another hit. I burst out laughing, then I wanted to cry from my own skill issue, then I felt bad for them. AITAH?
