Okay, many have tried to crack the Destroyer drop, but most agree it seems hitting at the end of EB increases chances of it dropping for you - any other theories/conclusions?
It's not just that. My clan concluded awhile back (first clan to discover this) that if you hit the REGENERATE part of the phase 4 smoldering rock. It greatly increases the chances of getting the drop. It's not a guarantee drop but greatly increases it. We tested this about 25 times and out of that 21 or so worked. I got the EB drop item my first time I tried this, and many others did.
Items time started entered finished have no effect. If your clan has a couple item sitters and they win. It's automatically that items = perm item. Or because a couple of people enter late and win = entering late = perm item. Sorry but that is all speculation I received an item from destroyer using no items and only attacks and ass. Another got a perm item they spammed item phase. Another got one using xtals. It's completely random and there is no sure fire way to get the items.
