Guys i've seen a lot of people getting banned because they used 4-5x attack on the Apoc, you can tell when someone is modding their damage..
Do this:
Start the battle in 1-2x, if you need a little more damage, temporarily move it up to 5x-9x for a moment or two, and bring it back down to 1x
If you are at 2,500k power and out DPSing 3.800k power.. It'll be obvious that you were modding.
