If damage to just one hero I think CK, Arc Warden and old Techies.

If damage to any number of units then Echo Slam with Brood, bunch of creeps and Heroes with Illus.

ever seen PA with 5k damage dealt in 1 hit?

Muerta with 15-20 %spell amp from Shard. (Which is realistic for a game)

Uses ult.

Goes into Silver Edge.

Has a rapier.

Right clicks you.

Both attacks proc a Critical Strike.

You most likely die.

And if you don’t die, she has super high attack speed.

You will die from the next attack launched 0,3 seconds after.

That attack can proc her passive as well, since she has 70% chance for it.

Now you are surely dead.

Technically no. As Legion Commander, you can stack up damage perpetually without limit so that would be the highest damage crit.

Practically, the worst right click burst I’ve had to deal with is Phantom Assassin, Sven, Muerta, and Chaos Knight in that order

nyx can do about 10k i believe

This really should have been: "does ck doe the highest possible damage within a 1 second window with a standard build. (No rapiers, no Daedalus stacking) because no he doesn’t. But he probably does if you’re following a guide. PA with rapiers or even Slardar with crit throwing someone to -10 armor and bashing them

Bristleback

Does PA not do more damage per hit than any hero in the game?

well as a support when I play techies landing a Eul + 3 mines + ethereal blade + blast pretty much wipes off everybody if they don’t have bkb

In real games probably yes. In 1% games may be PA or Lina 🥵

Close but not quite.
