The Story So Far...
They had been friends once, the two greatest warriors of their generation. Taught by the same master, rivals but to each other's betterment. Then the clans had gone to war. They each had killed the other's friends and family. And now they would finally come face to face in battle. Now they would find out who was truly best. Now the rivalry would be resolved...

I ashed his havnis on my turn, impermed his reino hart, sinister longyuaned both his tear scream and his mudora, and chixaod his bug knight guy that board wipes, he goes into Zeus, wipes my board, and off of his single copy of perlerino gets THIS. HE DIDNT EVEN HIT A GODDAMN ISHIZU MILLER HE JUST SHIT OUT SCHEIREN INTO KIT INTO MERRLI AND GOT THIS. i hate this fucking deck so much and I hate how so many people are like "just hit the ishizu cards, they're the problem" ignoring the fact that these cards are so fucking bloated with effects that off of one card my opponent can go into infinite spell and trap negates, a special summon negate and a continuous trap imperm. This deck deserves to have kit banned and every main deck monster at 1, and i wish itd get hit more after that. Dragon rulers got turned into a LITERALLY unplayble archetype for LESS then this. This is fucking ridiculous and I can't wait for Kashtira to come out and fucking ruin this deck, since clearly ko$ is never going to hit them with anything more then a slap on the wrist in master duel

Looking to max dps. How does my build look?

Prelude
CM Punk returns for the launch of Collision as expected and from the start of Collision to the beginning of this booking he does not interact with MJF or the elite at all. He doesn't even go on dynamite. Instead, he rekindles his feud with Samoa Joe and is still unable to defeat The Samoan Submission Machine.
Wednesday November 8th Dynamite
On the previous week's dynamite it is hyped that Tony Khan has an absolutely massive statement to make. He announces that there will be a one time only Pay Per View to take place on December 31st called AEW: Endgame. He talks about how MJF is holding the AEW World Championship hostage with his contract running down. He announces a tournament to take place culminating on the winter is coming episode of Dynamite where the winner will challenge MJF at endgame. The segment comes to an end as the bracket is flashed on the screen.
​
Bracket
Saturday November 11th Collision
To kick off the tournament we see a close match between Samoa Joe and Malakai Black. Most of the match is striking based between the two. However in the end it is Joe that is able to nail a massive muscle buster on Black to put him away.
Wednesday November 15th Dynamite
It is on dynamite that we see an absolute WAR between Miro and Keith Lee. The two bring out the best in each other and after 12 minutes of pure brutality Lee is unable to life Miro up for the spirit bomb and the Game Over seals his fate.
Saturday November 18th Collision
In an absolutely massive episode of Collision we see two first round matchups on the same show. The first is Bryan Danielson vs Eddie Kingston. Throughout the match we see Danielson consistently fighting from behind which should get him more of a face reaction as he is being built back up. In a callback to their classic in 2021 we see Danielson once again have Kingston stuck in a triangle choke only for Kingston to pick him up and slam him to the mat. This however is not enough as Danielson eventually comes out on top with 2 running knees in succession to get the three count.
Later in the night we see CM Punk take on Andrade el Idolo. In a surprisingly one sided match Punk is able to neutralize the offense of Andrade and he gets the win with a GTS.
Wednesday November 22nd Dynamite
The first tournament matchup of the night is between Roderick Strong and Adam Page. In a reverse of their first matchup a decade prior, Page is the favorite while Strong is the one who is trying to make a run up the card. This time however, Page will not be denied and he is able to dispatch Strong with a Buckshot lariat to advance.
The second matchup of the night is in the main event and it is another chapter of the Moxley/Omega saga(their first matchup since the cage match months ago). This time Omega is the one that comes out on top after he nails Moxley with a One Winged Angel.
Saturday November 25th Collision
Adam Cole and Pac main event the show and the two go all out. At the end of the match Pac misses the Black Arrow and Cole capitalizes with a german and he finally finishes the match with the Panama Sunrise.
Wednesday November 29th Dynamite
Here we see a match between Claudio Castagnoli and Darby Allin. A hungry Darby comes out with something to prove in an attempt to get even with MJF. Despite controlling most of the contest he still falls short to the brutal offense that is displayed by Claudio.
Updated Bracket
Saturday December 2nd Collision
To kick off the second round we see a match between Danielson and Miro. This match closes the show and gets 30 minutes. To start the match, Miro unleashes his mighty power, violently shoving Bryan down multiple times, electrifying the crowd with each forceful blow. But Bryan refuses to back down, retaliating with lightning-fast strikes of his own. But when it seems like a comeback is possible, Miro launches a devastating knee strike that sends Bryan hurtling out of the ring.
Showing his resilience, Bryan recovers and launches a barrage of thunderous kicks to Miro's body. Miro charges forward, but Bryan expertly counters with a waistlock. However, Miro's sheer strength propels him out of the hold, executing a bone-crushing running shoulder tackle. Bryan refuses to be defeated, sprinting off the ropes and delivering a jaw-dropping clothesline followed by a breathtaking dropkick that sends Miro sprawling out of the ring. Bryan's determination pushes him to the edge as he prepares for a daring suicide dive, but Miro snatches him out of midair. With incredible force, Miro executes a release belly-to-belly suplex on the unforgiving floor. The crowd is in awe as Miro ruthlessly hurls Bryan into the solid steel steps. Miro follows up with not one, but two thunderous suplexes, sending shockwaves through the arena.
Miro seizes control, applying a dominating chinlock for what seems like an eternity. With the turnbuckle as his weapon, Miro mercilessly whips Bryan into it, shaking the entire ring. However, Bryan refuses to be defeated, summoning his last reserves of strength to deliver consecutive running dropkicks. Yet, Miro proves his resilience, responding with a brutal Samoan Drop, leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats. Miro showboats to the crowd which gives Bryan an opening. Unleashing a flurry of ferocious kicks to Miro's chest, Bryan momentarily gains the upper hand. But Miro, unbowed, catches him in his grip, only for Bryan to ingeniously counter into a lightning-fast kneebar submission. Miro teeters on the edge of defeat, almost succumbing to Bryan's relentless assault. But Miro is able to summon his inner strength, powering out of the submission and delivering a gutwrench suplex. As the crowd erupts, Miro follows up with a jaw-dropping release German Suplex.
In a breathtaking display of athleticism, Bryan counters a second Miro suplex attempt, landing gracefully on his feet and he delivers a roundhouse kick to Miro's head. Bryan relentlessly pummels Miro with a barrage of knee strikes to the head, stomping with unyielding fury. The crowd is on its feet, chanting in sheer admiration as Bryan attempts his signature running knee strike, only to be caught mid-air by Miro, who executes a bone-rattling Powerbomb. Miro, overcome with emotion, points skyward, seemingly communing with his divine power. His fervor reaches its peak as he locks in the fearsome Game Over submission. Bryan, however, refuses to surrender, summoning every ounce of fight in his body to crawl towards the bottom rope. Undeterred, Miro savagely stomps on Bryan's back, determined to enforce his dominance. Once again, he applies the Game Over submission, but Bryan summons his remaining strength, rolling over and trapping Miro in the LeBell Lock, targeting his left arm and head. Miro fights back with a furious onslaught of punches. Bryan refuses to relent, transitioning seamlessly into the same triangle that gave Eddie Kingston problems, delivering thunderous elbows to Miro's head. The intensity reaches a fever pitch, but Miro resorts to desperate measures, using eye-gouging tactics to break free. Undeterred, Bryan retaliates with punishing kicks to Miro's body, but the Bulgarian Brute absorbs the blows and counters with a ruthless kick to Bryan's ribs. The two warriors ascend the turnbuckle, and in a breathtaking display of agility, Bryan executes a heart-stopping DDT off the top rope
As the crowd erupts in a frenzy of anticipation, Bryan seizes the moment, poised to deliver the final blow. With a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins, he unleashes a running knee with unmatched precision, colliding with Miro's skull. The impact is thunderous, and the Bulgarian Brute crumples to the canvas. The referee dives into action, sliding into position to administer the three-count. The entire arena holds its breath as the referee's hand strikes the mat once... twice... and with a deafening roar, the final count echoes throughout the arena.
Danielson is overjoyed with his victory and he cuts a promo after the match which redeems him in the eyes of the fans.

Final Bracket
Epilogue
You could go either way with who wins at endgame. I would probably lean towards it going to Omega but there could be a great story with the whole MJF contract business.

I am currently still frustrated at making an Armored Caster work in K2 in a way that isn't just strictly outclassed by going naked. To blow off some steam, let's play a bit of K1 where Armored Casters are much more competitive.
Caster Setup
Combat/Sustain Setup
This build is trying to fulfill a bunch of conditions in order of importance:

• 40 Force DC
  • 100% beats Young Rancor with Insanity
• 40 Defense
  • Cap avoid against common enemies on the LS route
• 36 Attack
  • Caps hit against Final Boss with Master Critical Strike
  • 33 Attack outside of the Final Boss is enough to cap against the turrets
• 1 buff is assumed to be online all the time
  • Extended Speed allowed
  • 2 buffs against bosses allowed if necessary
• Immunity Mind-Affecting required

Disclaimer: This build isn't the most practical build in the game. The primary goal is to hit a bunch of benchmarks, and in order to do so I play a 8 CON Scoundrel. This character has the worst possible Fortitude save in the game for a protagonist, in a game that frequently checks it. They also have the worst possible Vitality, so expect to get one-rounded by crits in the early game. That said, I try to come online at the beginning of Dantooine instead of after the third map like most of the gish builds do.

Why Heavy Armor?

Having access to Heavy Armor allows you to equip the Cassus Fett's Battle Armor right after leaving the Jedi Enclave. Defense-wise, it is almost as strong as the Heavy Exoskeleton, but available much earlier. It certainly is the strongest on a Scoundrel, who is 4 Defense ahead of a Soldier, but most Scoundrels don't even consider Heavy Armor. Novelty value.
The other item it enables is the Sith Mask. It comes with Immunity: Mind-Affecting and FP regeneration, as well as Weapon Focus, which we don't pick up in this build.

Intermission: Dantooine

Mid-game Setup
As said, one of the perks of this build is Cassus Fett's Battle Armor. At 37 Defense we cap Defense against pretty much anything but boss encounters, most notably Sherruk and the Albino Kath Hound. At 10 DEX it also provides 1 more Defense than the Heavy Exoskeleton at the cost of 2 STR (and 3 CON), so that is what we use for most of the playthrough.
If you take all the Persuade money options on Taris as a Scoundrel, you will end up with around 10k to 11k credits. If you intend to buy the armor as early as possible, I recommend to sell some items on the Taris Upper City shops. They pay you 40% for the item value, which is slightly less than 65% of the Yavin shop post-Dantooine, but more than the default 25% otherwise.
