Madana

*****​

Description:
Though of medium size, the Madana appears to be a scavenger.

Wandering freely while foraging, it is quick and can do a surprising amount of damage to it's environment and creatures.

It seems to have a substance in its saliva that eats away at flesh, making it more of a threat than the chance of a mere nasty bite.

Animal

Hi,

any infos what kind of dam they do? Tried Goblin/5A and plain Shogun, they hit quite hard on both ...

Have fun!

 

I'd like to offer a personal thank you to Jenny for compiling and posting all this info/threads on the Arkadia creatures, now including the mission info. It is very appreciated and helpful, and thanks to all who gather this info to be included for those of us who need it to make choices in hunting. Your links to the wiki as well is very helpful, I'm not personally a big fan of grind missions, but decided to go out and do a few of the starter ones at least, and the wiki link provided here helped me go knock out the starter mission on these little pussycats (who seem to have been paying fairly nicely today as well ). Thanks again Jenny for this thoughtful effort for the community.

 

Great Bump..For Jenny..Thank You Jenny!

Damage test

With Goblin+6a a Stalker did 51.5 damage.
6a didn't decay, so not Burn or Penetration.
Goblin decayed 0.583 which is 9 absorbed, so looks like Acid and no Impact.

With Kobold+6b a Stalker did 90.4 damage.
6b didn't decay, so no Electric and this also confirms no Impact.
Kobold decayed 0.360 which is minimum decay, so less than 6 damage absorbed which suggests Cut, no Cold.

With unplated Gremlin a Stalker did 55.6 damage.
Decayed 2.806 which is 32 absorbed, so given what we have above, this must be Acid, Cut and Stab.

In unplated Goblin a Young did 9.4 damage
Decay was 0.456 which is 7.3 absorbed from 16.7 total.
Confirmed max damage from Entropedia is 32, so we can scale this up to 14 Acid from 32 total (43.75%).

I tried for a while with unplated Gremlin to see if I could isolate the Stab and Cut but I couldn’t get anything other than 1.0 from a Young so that didn’t work. Need to think of some other way to do this.

I'll put a guess of 40% Acid, 30% Cut, 30% Stab into Entropedia for the moment.

 

Maybe try adjusted pixie. Given you know acid you should get useful results for damage between 16 and 23.

Yes that might work, it was what I was trying to do with the Gremlin but the protection is too high. I don't have a set of Adj Pixie though so perhaps you could give this a try.

 

Sure. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

I did a couple of tests with adjusted pixie vs youngs.

1. 8.2 dam, 14.7 prot - given 14/32 for acid, the best fit is 9/9/14 but its not as good a fit as I would like. for a hit of 22.9, predicted dam/prot is 8.5/14.4

2. 7.2 dam, 14 prot - really good fit for 9/9/14. for a hit of 21.2, predicted dam/prot = 7.24/13.96 which is pretty close.

 

Excellent, good work

 

My skills (weapon hit at least 35, evade 17) are easily high enough for madana, but I'm not sure I have the equipment. Is unplated Adjusted Pixie going to cut the mustard here, for small ones, and if not will 2A be enough to make the difference? I really can't afford better armour.

 

When I saw they were puking green, I tried them with my trusted Goblin. I remember using it against Snablesnots back on Calypso.
I thought it could be of use... it helped a bit but..... not enough to protect from the other damage type the beast inflicts.... poor me

.LeZ.

 

On an average hit from a young you'll take a little over 9 damage in adj pixie, while a max dam hit will let 16 points through. So the question is how many shots will it take you to kill it and will it be able to kill you in that time?

Not sure about 2a as I dont have any but have you tried the armour advisor in entropedia? http://www.entropedia.info/Chart.aspx?toolid=2

 

So, the reward for completing stage 5 is 11.70 ped TT of bioregen or 1st aid or support weapon systems + 100 agility token

I took 1st aid
