For Maelstrom using the Wizard’s energize is a good way to stun and build up your rage chili. I like using the Mage’s Shock Shield instead since that does about 3,000 damage each round and you still have a chance to get the bonus of the Nightmare damage from the stun as well if you are using Princess with Nightmare.
The stun crew is not nearly as strong if you don’t have both Grand Slam and Nightmare because you don’t have the 2 round stun. Just using Ligthning bird, Samurai and Bard with complete sets you stun 53.3% of the time for 1 or more rounds, 39.3% for 2 rounds. If the enemy is stunned for 2 rounds, then you don’t need a successful strike the next round, but have a 39.3% chance for a successful 2 round stun to give you another free round where you don’t need a successful strike. When using the chili on chuck you will stun 72.0% of the time for 1 or more rounds and 53.7% for 2 rounds. You can often build up your rage chili when the opponent is stunned so you don’t need to use many veggie cakes. If you want to really change the odds to your favor, just restart the battle until you get a successful 2 round stun where you didn’t need to use the chili. I have a mastery level 8 Bard with an old Nightmare set and mine does 1120 damage in Nightmare.
