What have I missed? Better than Spiridonas? Lucian 4 bleed Brutal +1, 11 Orun +11 Command +1 Conditioning +3 Total: 19. Well, I guess we could give him skill cards for skills he doesn't have to give him more Orun. That'll get him up to what, 33? Anything I missed? best - chris

[ quoted text not captured ] No Brutal Influence is an action, so u cant play GtU or Legal with it, so 19 would be the # with the equation purposed, but u could up the total by adding bleed retainers (+4), a laptop (+1), Heart of the City (+2), Pulse of the Canaille (+2) and Legendary Vampire (+2) to up it to 30 :)

[ quoted text not captured ] 28 different disciplines, of which Lucian has 6 already at SUP. 10 of them are Bloodlines Disciplines, which you have to have Sanguine Instruction to do. But the others are all Skilly cards (incl Abombwe). So, he could get up to 35 capacity (24 extra skill cards), so that's 35 Orun. 1+3+1+35+1+3 (and then adding Jugg's sugg's): +4+1+2+2+2 = 55 bleed. Mix in 1 Strange Day FTW! best - chris (Rock Cat blocks, Traps, IG, wash rinse repeat, Burning Wrath FT real Win).

[ quoted text not captured ] You could make him an Anarch for a bit, then play Stealing Years many times against other vamps with Orun on them. Then Mozambique Allure back to Laibon. But if we change this puzzle to be: Get the biggest bleed possible in a single action with infinite time, infinite pool (from the edge), and no other players using a legal deck, I think you'd need to go with Spiridonas and Frederick the Weak (for Waste Management Operation, since you'll likely need to discard a lot to get the cards in the right order.) > > 2 Abombwe > > 2 Celerity > > 2 Chimerstry > > 2 Dementation > > 2 Fortitude > > 2 Necromancy > > 2 Obtenebration > > 2 Protean > > 2 Quietus > > 2 Serpentis > > 2 Vicissitude And also: 1 Potence 1 Presence 2 Animalism 2 Obfuscate 2 Auspex So he ends up being a 39 cap without bloodlines disciplines > > 39 Orun That's 69 cards so far.

I would include: 5 Sanguine Instruction 5 Orun So you can get 5 more capacity In the Crypt, I would include: Spiridonas Fredrick the Weak Bloodlines vamps to Sanguine Instruct 5 times. So the total capacity is 44, which means there can be 45 counters on Despiral. +1 Brutal Influence +44 44 Orun +45 Despiral +2 Legendary Vampire +2 Heart of the City +2 Pulse of the Canaille +2 Robert Carter +3 Inveraray, Scotland +3 Conditioning +39 Spiridonas's special (44 cap - 2 cost of special - 1 Brutal Inf - 1Conditioning - 1 Robert Carter) = 143 Bleed After doing all of that, though, I'm wondering if it would be more efficient to simply include: 1 Heidelberg Castle, Germany 1 Despiral 1 Clan Impersonation 1 Inveraray, Scotland 86 Camarilla Vitae Slave and/or Discipline Master Cards Then, we get Spiridonas to be a 95-cap vampire, so Despiral reaches 96 counters. +96 Despiral +3 Inveraray, Scotland +93 Spiridonas's special (95 cap - 2 cost of special) = 192 bleed. So I guess that's a lot better. The crypt is Spiridonas with a Lasombra. Can anyone break 200 bleed in one action, using a legal deck with infinite time, pool, and no other players? Ira

A more enlightening question might be how much is the reasonable maximum, but the definition of reasonable is nebulous at best. Personally, I find that in practice, the "Lucian Bleeds for a Million" deck really bleeds for 12 (I thought it was 13, but I guess my math was off). Bring out Lucian, play Orun on him, then Static Virtue for 3 Orun and 3 Aye. Then you bleed with: Lucian: 1 + 3 Brutal: +1, +4 for Oruns Conditioning: 3 Total: 12 Command of the Beast isn't really worth +1 for the 1 card space taken up. My Lucian deck plays with some Elder Impersonation, Seduction, Approximation of Loyalty, and Force of Personality (to hose non-zombie allies). Also High Orun (hand size and reduce the cost of EI and Conditioning (and Approximation, if it's used to cancel bounce or wake), and High Aye and a little OBF for stealth (High Aye and High Orun are good because of the burn option so I can cycle to the Static Virtues). Lucian rarely gets more than 4 Oruns because he has to burn one every time he bleeds. I also use the !Sal who can look at your hand in combat, Prophecies of Gehenna, and Revelations to try and deal with bounce/AI. Everytime I build a bazooka bleed deck, I curse the fact that Bleeding the Vine can't cancel OOT masters. Just my two cents - don't let that stop the speculation on bleeds for 50+, of course. =)

I'm assuming you don't mean that the amount will become infinite after an infinite number of turns, but rather that there's some way to (infinitly) keep increasing Lucian's bleed after your library is depleted. But I just can't figure that way out, since the biggest increaser I can think of would be Clan Impersonation and Despirals. And that would be limited by 90 card library and the amount of blood the Despiral counters will cost eventually.

Chris Berger

[ quoted text not captured ] Okay, my bad. I read where someone mentioned Despiral/hunt/Despiral counter/hunt, etc... but forgot the X cost. Doh! Okay, so it's not infinite. It's huge, but not infinite. I'm not sure how to calculate the maximum, in that case. If you put like 10 Despirals on him, and got his capacity up to 30, that would take up 29 cards of your deck and each Despiral could have up to 31 counters on it, for 314 bleed. And it would take somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 turns because of all the hunting. Perfectionist could reduce that significantly, as would hunt bonuses. But that would take up space in the deck that could be used for more Despirals. 66 Despirals + 24 Skill cards = 2380 bleed if my math isn't messed up. And if I'm not way off, I think it takes 666 x 66 = 43956 turns with no outside help. Oops, forgot the Clan Impersonation, but the 666 x 66 symmetry is too good to pass up. Since we're assuming that the game goes on for 44000 turns, ignoring the requirements on Despiral doesn't seem too important, right? =) There may even be a way to increase the total beyond Despirals, but +35 bleed seems like a lot for one card... what would you replace it with? But are we trying to maximize the bleed total at the expense of every reasonable assumption? If not, there's got to be some "reasonableness" limit. I think the sample decks posted in this thread fall within a pretty good reasonableness limit, so I'm not complaining. I just figured I'd post my own thoughts on what's reasonable. More than +12 doesn't seem like it's really worth actually planning for in a real deck that's trying to win. For a fun deck that just wants to see what it can do, or a thought experiment, then yeah, the other estimates are perfectly fine. The 2380 estimate above is obviously ridiculous, and not just because I forgot to factor in the CI. =)

For reasonable amounts, I'd say 9 (4 (base) + 2 (GtU) + 3 (conditioning)) is the most reasonable, and by enough by far. But your 12 is probably around the "highest while still reasonable", even if that's still some too many cards than what I'd like in a chain.

Well, that's a real deck, and it does bleed for 12 reliably. It's a pain waiting for a Static Virtue if I don't draw one early enough, but otherwise, it's pretty solid. The problem is more that it runs out of steam after ousting a prey or two. Also, it can be shut down by enough bounce or an AI that comes up at the right time (i.e. drawn to replace after a Revelations, or if I just don't have a Revelations and still decide to risk it), or a fast enough predator, or good enough rush (Obedience helps, but there's not enough room for *enough* Obedience. Force of Personality helps also but loses to Grapple or enough Psyche).

henrik

[ quoted text not captured ] Neat. I guess the hardest part will be drawing the Clan Impersonation before clogging on Despirals.

Chris Berger

[ quoted text not captured ] The hardest part will be staying awake for the several weeks necessary to get up to 2420 bleed if you don't get ousted first. =) Very nice, though. And as a bonus, his untap definitely reduces the number of turns necessary - probably only about 25,000 turns! I think that if you avoid being ousted, you could do it in about 3 months of playing 24 hours a day. Unless your opponents are quick about their turns, in which case, at 1 minute/turn around the table, you could get it down to just over two weeks.

Chris Berger

[ quoted text not captured ] Oh I forgot, you'll need about $400 worth of counters for your Despirals. Unless you use percentile dice.

LSJ

Use a crypt of some random prince, a random Giovanni, and <infinite> Uriah Winters and a Tradition Upheld, Sargon Fragment, 2x Recruitment, and Charigger the Axe. Infinite bleed.

Chris Berger

[ quoted text not captured ] Even easier, Al-Muntaqim with infinite Caitiff. But I think originally it was, what's the max bleed for Lucian specifically (though he can always Clan Impersonate, Praxis Seize, and then do your whole crazy thing above). The Nakh deck is kind of a digression on how to max out bleed with Despiral. But I guess jumping through all the hoops isn't necessary if you can stack your crypt to the moon and back. Good luck shuffling. Or finding that one non- Caitiff with the Recruitment. =)

FVicentini

[ quoted text not captured ] Library: (90 cards) [ quoted text not captured ] Later, ~Rehlow you have to consider cutting some discipline cards for more despirals , this is a maximisation problem solvable with a differential equation bleed amount: despirals * capacity capacity= 10 + number of discipline cards Maximum despirals= 89 - discipline cards im not so found of doing the entire set of calculations, but start there

Chris Berger

[ quoted text not captured ] n^2 is always greater than (n-z) * (n+z). That is, the equation is maximized when capacity = # of despirals + 1. That's not possible with discipline cards, because Nakhthorheb already gets you the highest capacity with smallest number of disciplines. Though there might be another 9 or 10 cap out there with a superior in a discipline that doesn't have skill cards, which might get you a higher potential capacity. I'm not sure and haven't really checked.

I'm not sure and haven't really checked. You could use a Clan Impersonation and some Camarilla Vitae Slaves to make up the difference. CVS is an old standard for arbitrary capacity.

Qadir ul-Ghani's got +1 bleed and doesn't need Clan Impersonation. 9 cap with 3 superior and 2 inferior. So could possibly be a better pick than Nakhthorheb.

Chris Berger

[ quoted text not captured ] Qadir has a maximum capacity (without Camarilla Vitae Slaves) of 3 less than Nakhthorheb. He can have 4 more Despirals in the deck (1 less CI and 3 less skill cards). So he would have 63 * 38 + 2 = 2396 max bleed with Despirals. Less than Nakh's 2420. If Qadir uses CVS, he won't need a CI for that either, meaning he can play with 40 capacity increasers and 50 Despirals, giving him 50 * 50 + 2 = 2502 bleed. Although Nakh can use the CVS's too, making 2 CI's, 38 capacity increasers, and 50 Despirals, giving him 49 * 50 = 2450 bleed - a little lower, but twice as fast =). If we're going that route and # disciplines don't matter as much, Lucian can get 50 * 50 + 4 = 2504 bleed. Any 10-cap Lasombra could also do it by getting the CVS's first and only using 1 CI, getting 2501 plus any base bleed bonus they might have.

[ quoted text not captured ] Someone upthere chalenge for the best bleed with a legal deck. I was about to point to infinite hermana hambrienta mayor, many vessels to regain pool and walk of cain in a kind of deck that can win. And Happen: estrictly talking the aproach of infinite Uriah or infinite caitiff simply can´t work because, from a mathtematician point of view, your chances to get Al muntaquim if you put him ramdomly betwen infinite caitiff is always zero and the time to find him via recruitment is infinite. (it´s been said thar God plays with dice, but would he play Vtes? in the other hand, you can always draw a hermana hambrienta from a infinite pile of HH to add one to a gazillion bleed.

librarian

[ quoted text not captured ] Infinite Hermana menors, with 89 Blood Dolls, and 1 Walk of Caine, is that the deck you are talking about? And really, since we are positing infinite time, I guess you only need 59 Blood Dolls... best - chris

I just asked for the reason to play it before Command (of the Beast), instead of after. Since Vincent explicitly said to play it after Command, I figured that he had some reason that I couldn't see (or that he thought you had to play it before Command (of the Beast), in which case he would be wrong).

I thought you were theoretically trying to find the maximum bleed for Lucian, so I mentioned a +bleed card that had not yet been mentioned. If you're making a more playable, realistic deck, you'd probably want better bleed modifiers than Leverage. I also meant to say play before "Conditioning". Sorry for the confusion.
