So extra testing should be unnecessary with that, we can establish that indeed a monster bound in a P8 game will have 4.5x the HP when you bring it to other games, locking in the base HP multiplier, and presumably also the base damage.
That also means the rapid reroll method for getting a cursed TZ monster will only have 22% of the HP of a P8 monster. So you NEED to get it in a P8 game


Sounds like the holy grail bound demon is pretty hard to get to. Have you researched whether heralds are worth binding if they roll on the right monster type?

  • S Tier: Spear Rogue (TZ > Matron > Reg)
  • A Tier: Urdar > Minion of Destruction > Vile Mother
  • B Tier: Goatman > Hephasto > Smith > Axe Rogue > Hell Buzzard
  • C Tier: Council > Balrog / Overseer / Putrid Defiler / Tainted > Flayer
  • F Tier: Fallen/Fetish Shaman > Siren > Fetish / Archer Rogue > Demon Imp > Succubi
  • Platinum SSS Hidden Tier: Pain Worm / Vile Child upgraded to unique via monster shrine so it has cursed


Rankings are only for true pokemon trainers not 1 pointer echoing strike builds that just need aura.
When you've got high blood oath the HP/damage difference on Hephasto and a Goatman is mostly irrelevant, they are both unkillable and 95% dps comes from the skill, but A5 tundra goats run 50% faster
If you just need a lowbie aura bot then the base HP really does matter and you can go grind river of flame every time you die, you take that long walk of shame
Rogues with shields have blocking but that makes them worse because they have an animation that interrupts them, better to just take damage.
Any monster that uses an ability that does nothing or has a defensive AI is wasting time not attacking. At least Vile Mothers bring a permanent set of meat shields with them, unlike Shamans
All ranged attacks are totally worthless.

well heralds would be the best in slot by a mile if it was possible
heralds cannot be bound... normally. You can stand there and cast bind on a 1% hp herald 1000 times and it won't work, I've tried
but someone has a picture of it being done, somehow. Some unknown glitch makes it possible and we don't know how


That said I just managed to get a P8 cursed TZ pub game where urdars spawned in pit of acheron and got my conviction 91% dr 55% all resist 450% hp 144% damage chonky boy
Now i'm playing hardcore mode because this guy will never be replaced

Two very important information has been released by llamasc.

Source: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N76YZ0ayqX4zauRGX2KvagL6D3PlXLSzq-oGmJoU4HI/edit?usp=drivesdk


Demon gets resummoned every time you join the game (it’s not being snapshotted)

Demon keeps p8 life stats


Check the linked google sheet drafted by mrllamasc’s team (i got the link from his youtube post). I accidentally set it restricted access but now should be able to open through the link.

They tested that only p8 life persists but damage and ar stats.

Also tested demon gets resummoned with your bind demon level everytime you join the game so no need to max lvl bind demon when you capture it

Yeah we tested the latter part earlier, but still need to have level 20+ bind since it locks in affixes
The base damage, if it is or isn't getting locked in at binding for P1 vs P8, would be an unnoticeably insignificant portion of damage anyway. IE the difference between (127+1718) and (182+1718)
not worth testing for anyway

First of all incredible ball knowledge here, been reading this since it started. Yesterday i got the chunky boi from a P8 game using the explained technique here, just in a pub game checking for urdars and popping a worldstone shard. Tbh it's best if you join a baalrun and just keep on checking for the cursed affix, took me about 15 tries to find TZ+Cursed.
Almost fluffed it tho, they wouldn't give me holy freeze (my merc runs infinity so i dont need conv).

Tbh it sounds worse than it actually was.

As a blood boil build, i can say it's definitely worth it.

Have you tried doing ubers yet with your build or is that not in the cards?
