The **Useless** Research: the highest single strike damage!

Well, let's not wait for something, I'll list all the equip quickly:

Weapon: Ruthless Meowmeme (236 damage)

Armor:

• Shinobi Infiltrator Helmet (20%)

• Solar Flare Breast (22%)

• Hallowed Pants (7%)

Accessories (Expert - 6 slots)

• Menacing mod (24%)

• Warrior Emblem (15%)

• Avenger Emblem (12%)

• Mechanical Glove (12%)

• Celestial Shell (10%)

• Celestial Stone (10%)

• Destroyer Emblem (10%)

Buffs:

• Well Fed (5%)

• Werewolf (5%)

• Tipsy (10%)

• Wrath (10%)

• Fishron mount (15%)

• Feral Bite (20%)

• Nebula damage T3 (45%) (yup, it works)

Overall, we get 352% of damage (100 basic + 252 from modifiers) . But let's not forget the main trick - Striking Moment buff (that could be obtained from the special ability of Brand of the Inferno). It grants 5x (!) damage just for one strike, such a thing we need!

What we get is:

236 x 3.52 x 5=4153.6 (with no random spread, maximum is even bigger).

Please check this for any mistakes and/or possibilities of better setup, I could've easily mistaken in some places. Also would be cool if you checked this on practice and shared results!

Edit: Min-Max Damage is 0.85-1.15x of current weapon damage, and there always was crit that doubles the damage, so the real number is 4153 (rounded down) x 1.15 x 2=9550. Such a power, enough to one-shot almost every pre-HM boss.
