For this achievement, you’ll have to unleash an attack that does 9999 damage.
This will require some forethought into multiple areas:
- Player and Monstie level
- Type effectiveness (of both your active weapon and your Monstie)
- Rite of Chanelling genes for passive buffs (elemental attack XL, etc.), genes for moves that buff your Monstie and/or debuff the enemy
- The active buffs and debuffs on your party and the enemy
- The timing of your attack (if you topple a Monster but don't Synchro Rush, for example)
- The level of your Kinship skill (1, 2, or preferably 3)
Once you’ve unleashed a 9999-damage attack, you’ll have your achievement!
Like many of these achievements, you can check your progress in your Ranger Records by pausing the game, navigating to “Ranger Files” (one tab to the right), and then selecting the Ranger Records dossier (the red one on the right). The
Hard-Hitter medal is the eighth and final medal on the second row. The medal will show you your current highest damage in a single attack.
