Mercenaries: Stuck with Edwin Task 10

Bug Report
1

I recieved Task 10 of Edwin, Defias Kingpin-Dance of Death(Deal 200 Combo damage), but it was stuck at 172.
So I abandoned it and recieved again twice, but progress was stuck at 0 in both times.

You need to deal the damage with Edwin himself. No other merc can contribute.

I’m pretty sure that I don’t use Edwin’s combo ability in first try(172 dmg), so it’s quite confusing to me, but it seems you’re right. Only Edwin can make it proceed(for now, at least).

Thank you for help!

I used Scabbs’ combo for the first 120 damage, and then it suddenly stopped working. I had to change equipment on Edwin for him to even have combo damage again.

I am unsure what you mean. Edwin doesn’t have Combo on any of his attacks. I tried him a party that did fire combo damage thinking that would activate it but nothing. Would you mind explaining how to activate the combo part of the task, please?

i guess they changed the skills of him in time. The goal is now to make dmg with his sec. skill “Assisted Strike” and of course it has to be with activated combo (btw. dont equip the sec. item which gaves him always the combo effect cause it will than not count as combo dmg.)

I found that it still works with the second item… however an allied Merc has to act before as if combo was being triggered

Just dropping in to say this issue is still not fixed. As far as I can tell it calculates damage done by Edwin via the second ability if combo is triggered. If the second item is equipped then you still need another allied mercenary to attack prior to Edwin in order for the damage to count.

I can 100% can confirm as of 10/01/22

I worked this two ways;

A) You can use any damaging ability followed by ASSISTED STRIKE

or

B) You can use a stat buff ability i.e Yu’Lon JADEFLAME BUFFET and the ASSITED STRIKE

I was also using the ROUND OF DRINKS equipment not sure if its needed.

Have at it!

wow, are you saying that we still need a work around despite the bug being reported in November 2021? Wow.

Edit: re-read, so now it does count combo damage correctly? Or only comboing with certain kinds of abilities?

I know I’m late to the game, but found a quick way to complete: Equip the FIRST SLOT item to make your other pirates FASTER, then use Assisted Strike (Middle Skill) - when he hits AFTER another of your mercs has struck, then it counts. I had Eudora and his daughter in tow.
