How many hits to kill a boar with a militia sword?

[Cygnus]

I have a Q10 militia sword and around 10 MC

[TeckXKnight]

Assuming your UAC is 1, so to be frank you will never break the boar's defenses and it will promptly murder you. Towards the low end, with 70 UAC you can deal with a boar if you're extremely quick, have good agility, and understand the combat system. With MC I believe the number is closer to 150 to handle a boar but I very well could be mistaken.

[Kathdys]

A shield lets you use MC instead of UC to keep your defense bar up, right? That ought to help. Chop (the basic axe attack) requires initiative points, which I haven't really figured out yet. From what the wiki says, if I'm reading the formula right, even a Q10 stone axe does almost triple the damage of a punch, although you can't attack with it as often and it might make keeping your defenses up harder.

Shield has a higher defensive weight than Dodge, and I don't think it would take almost three times longer for each axe attack than it does for each punch, so just going by the numbers, it seems someone with an axe and shield and melee combat should do marginally better than someone without them who has the same level of unarmed combat instead, assuming they have the same attributes and both use the same basic techniques. I haven't tested it, though. I've been using Unarmed Combat just because nettle clothing gives a bonus to it.

Anyway, boars are REALLY STRONG. Only bears are worse. The difference is boars will tear you apart in moments, while bears will slam you to the ground instantly, as soon as they're able to make an attack. Try foxes first.

[Arcanist]

He can just stand in water and use opp knocks to get it's defence down.

What is your strength? with 10 strength, boar has 0 def you will hit 125 * sqrt(10/10)
So 125 per hit.
Boars have 40 * level hp
I forget what level boars are, but I think it's 7?

If it is, then 7 * 40 is 280hp

So you will need 3 hits to kill the boar, if the boar is at 0 defence.

[Ninijutsu]

Only bears are worse.

And deer. And trolls.

Bears take quite some moments to ramp up their first hit, boars hit instantly.

Cygnus, if you don't understand twitch hunting, you should get like 70 mc before going after boars. Spam float like a butterfly as soon as the fight starts and get 5 advantage before trying to strike at it.

Are you willing to give a live seminar in twitch hunting?

Aggro an animal from a boat, parked close to shallow water but not touching land. When it walks to the edge of land, it will stand there for several seconds. Periodically, it will make another attempt to find a path to you, during which it will "twitch" in your direction for a split second, and then stop again for several seconds. While it is stopped, and not attempting to path, you can (if at the shore) get out of your boat, use an ability on it, and then retreat back to your boat without fear of retaliation. Rinse and repeat, using one ability on it after each twitch, and you can kill it with very low stats.

More specifically, the abilities you will use are Call Down the Thunder (until you have 26 IP), opportunity knocks (4 times), and Valorous Strike. If your valorous strikes are hitting for way too little damage (like 50), you might want to gain an extra 15 IP to spend on 5 Invocation of Skuld's for 5 advantage (and then use Sting instead, so you don't reset advantage(or just regain the advantage after each valorous strike if you STILL aren't hitting hard enough, as valorous strike uses more weight)).

Also, feel free to fan the flames twice before calling down thunder to speed up the process.
