Holy crap, I types that big post without being ninja'd!

Also, don't stat something that isn't meant to be killed. That's why the Lady of Pain doesn't HAVE stats. And why the nexus obelisk in League is untargetable. Or why the actual gods of RotMG have no stats.
The difference is, everyone knows the Lady and other divine beings shouldn't be killed. People were already planning to assassinate Murder Night. (Also, MN isn't a god.)
And I said she isn't meant to be fought. Yes, that implies "she's not meant to be killed," but it makes it clear that concepts of boss balancing don't necessarily apply, anymore than concepts of character balancing apply to bosses.

Besides, this means that I know exactly what Murder Night is personally capable of. That's the important part.

I suppose wishing for her and anything helping her to be banished to the void forever with the nexus serpent is an option?
It would. Probably; I'm not sure how the nexus serpent works. Could it deal with lesser gods? Because if you don't take out the Spirit, you're just delaying its plans...

The shadow, whatever the hell it is, could then also be trapped in a painting to make doubly sure.
Does "not stupid enough to manifest near someone capable of doing that" answer your question?

GWG I have a question if she isn't meant to be fought, what good will any of our efforts do against her?

all the nexus serpent does is create a path, it can't force people through it

Thats actually a good question Kansa.

I agree with Alice:

What point is trying to defeat Murder Night, if she isn't meant to be fought. Instead of keeping us in the dark, Tell us Out of charcter what it is you want us to do. No spoilers, but what exactly is your plan?


The shadow, whatever the hell it is, could then also be trapped in a painting to make doubly sure.

Does "a being that can track any magical frequency of any entity" rebuke your question?

"There are many ways to kill a seven-headed monster."
Technology and economics and politics march on. Murder Night's army might not stay so powerful, relative to whoever it might be fighting. All those resources are meaningless if bounties become cheap and accessible elsewhere. Et cetera. You can pretty much defeat everything but the woman herself that way.

Doesn't matter if you can track it, if you can't get to it or if it moves faster than you can react.

And as to what you're intended to do...Twi's more or less on-target. Don't cut off the dragon's head, destroy its internal organs.

The dragon in my analogy is Murder Night's empire, not Murder Night herself. Starving it would be what? Torching its farms and cutting off imports?

Well, cutting off imports (or simply reducing its ability to make money on exports) is indeed a thing. :V

I want to make Kyle a crime boss for some reason.

Or maybe something like Bain from Payday.

I removed the Sanure/GreatWyrmGold bickering after the point where it degenerated.  Hopefully people can work this out without it slipping into name-calling again.
