Donatello is BROKEN!!!

Testing the commonly thought idea that the Last Ride plate doesn't work with Donatello took me in a wild direction.
EDIT: THIS MOVESET HAS BEEN ELIMINATED AS OF 11/10/2024. SCOPELY REPLACED THE PURPLE TRAP MOVE

Brotha, multiply trainers work on this also. I put NinjaSeth and Trik Rock and Tech Rock on him to see what would happen and got multiply of 9. Thanks for the info, had him 4sg and a 6sg fuse and let him just sit there because I didn't think he was any good. Yeah, he's maxed out now!

From a viability perspective, either trip yellow or focusing on multiply damage with this moveset is the way to go. Not sure if really bring this weird gem defense trap setup to feuds.
Tell me how it goes though!

[@MrHandsomeRob1977]

the swipe with the gem defense being negative gem damage in effect hurts the card in the in. SB Miz, Striker Randy I think are both that do the same thing.

[@ivanalejandrogonzalezsanch877]

Some characters can do that lol
The best example is Randy Orton Striker
I love how he can kill 6sg at 5sg with using the ultra defensive build (reduce opponent 100% gem damage twice in a turn) to increase the Kickout damage and make it impossible to kick out

[@SlimNumbers]

So it has to be something about triggering gem defense moves/traps twice in a turn

Damn bro. You gotta step up your coin game there😂

[@SlimNumbers]

I like to live on the edge

[@adamlabbad5375]

That’s been happening for a while. I’ve done it with SB miz. If you use his purple reduce gem damage move. Try it. It’ll be the same if you use the move, get a 5 match and use it again

[@SlimNumbers]

So then it's clearly not the amount of gem defense. Just tried it, you're right.
Must then have something to do with how the game calculates gem defense when it's triggered more than once per turn
