Seems like this confirms Galio and possibly Hecarim/Sera. We had Hec in a previous version and I remember him being one of the worst champs in the game mode.
And why does Norra get a Norra only relic? She doesn't even need the mana.

>>1415865
Maybe its a precedent. Like, everyone will get their "own" epic relic

Norra is surprisingly good in PoC. I expected her to be rough since her deck's super expensive but I've pretty much never bricked.
I also didn't expect her powers to be so consistently good, both her 1* (when you summon a created ally, grant it +1/+1) and 2* (game start and when you play a card with a base cost of 4+: plant a portal) looked mediocre but the 1* gets constant use (particularly with husks) and makes early portals more valuable, and the 2* makes sure you don't run out of portals and gives you a reason to use expensive cards.
Her only weakness I've seen so far is she takes a while to win because your units aren't particularly high value and the enemy usually has a lot of chump blockers, I'm sure that'll change a little once you get 3* (+3/+1 instead of +1/+1) or if I slap an overwhelm aura relic on her.

Trying some PoC and managed to beat Asol on my first attempt by highrolling into shared keywords on Neeko.

>>1420317
Oh yeah double attack is cracked
Surprising you managed to make it to when asol starts dropping
In that topic, its so fucked how they turned him into the champions champion
He should have been celestial summoning ffs

>>1420825
Oh this was turn 2 which is why the only bonus champ is Jarvan, I got the burst speed clone emperor's deck card with copy onto same targets and force a discard then Garen had the 1/1 poro item.

Woo 2 for 2 on Asol attempts. Triple start of round stun and on play strike with Janna and Ornn.

>fight before asol
>azir with copy
>turn 1, double azir
>turn 2, double landmark
>now every attack is a board full of sand soldiers
Well I'd been rolling like garbage the whole adventure anyway, 1 good power, useless support champ, and 2 good cards, so there's no way I was beating asol.

>>1420851
How come Asol got out then?
He ramps slower than that, unless they changed it with the patch (they changed a bunch of nodes, and most notably, thresh is not THAT much of a pushover now)
>>1421323
Double copy azir is an easy run killer

>>1422047
Oh wait yeah Asol was levelled so this was turn 3, he dropped three mana golems on turn 1 which let him get Asol turn 2 and then I blocked them so he'd waste all his mana playing asol instead of clearing my board so the open attack on 3 would win the game.

Just did Lissandra with Asol, what the fuck. How are you expected to reach Lissandra, let alone beat her, with other champs? I had a fucking Katarina on Asol and I still almost lost. Nigger was dropping 9/9's with tough every turn while limiting you to 3 cards per turn until he drops a 80/138 Watcher and puts you on a "hope you don't draw 3 times :^)" clock. You don't even get many chances to shop/buy powers/buy items for your champs. That's not even mentioning the 99 nexus health + tough.
Meanwhile every fight up to her is "Enemies have +1 mana, btw if they hit 10 mana you probably lose".

Getting into Path of Champions and whoever decided to shove in the retarded punishment for rerolling is a cunt. I don't want to be forced to play through Galio for 20 minutes with a shit power so I can restart with good ones just because I accidentally clicked play with the wrong character.

>>1423120
You can reroll after 2 wins, but most powers are usable so it's not worth it unless you roll really badly.
And it was done for a reason, people used to reroll until they got a really good power because it took no time.

>>1422142
from the champs i tried, easiest to hardest are asol, elder, yasuo, anne, and illaoi and the only run I'd say i was tryharding is illaoi. artrox probably as good as elder due to chunky unit and cost reduction, champs with cheap/free removal like yasuo and anne is really good, veigar probably would perform nicely as well.

Champ update when. I have nothing to spend fragments on.

WR just got Viego, Kalista and Maokai.
I wonder if we will receive the rest of the SI champions.

>>1432891
There are 3 SI champs left, Karthus, Vex and Yorick, I can't see them only dishing out SI champs even if the game's moved to PoC.

How do I play Pyke in PoC without losing my mind? I've got him up to 2 stars and it still feels like I need to get a godly set of powers and items to even stand a chance.

>>1434975
I feel that was about Yuumi. Two star and level 16 but half the time I get rolled over by enemies because mass Fated is useless when I have to constantly go wide instead of attaching so I don't get run over.

>>1434975
His nerf really hurt his PoC performance. But he's not that hard to play, though he does benefit a lot from his 3* and lurk requires you cut spells a lot of the time.

>>1435034
Yuumi's Pretty good, free chump blockers and she's the only champ that can use galeforce. You want that 2 mana unit to attach with, then things get easy.

Lee Sin
>Arguably a nerf, a cheap flow enabler is turned into an expensive flow user (albeit a better card in general, and if you have flow it's only +1 cost)

Nasus
>2* arguably got nerfed, arguably buffed
>deck was also arguably nerfed too

Nilah
>2* changed, it'll help prevent deck outs but if it stacks you're going to be drawing tons of cards every round start

Ornn
>Nice buff to his 1* and 3*

It's nice they're making some of the worse decks a little more viable. Saying that, I still have nothing to spend fragments on but now I can buy 2 3* champs because I have a cap of 200.

>>1436523
Oh and also
>no event pass
It's over.

>>1436523
Man bard's power is still neutered but I guess it helps quite literally being more than twice as strong
The revival buff was so necesary, for anything that wasn't a dumb/bullshit loss against a regular node, you might as well just concede
The loss won is really good, for those bullshit like how galio/asol/lissandra can get, you need something
The fragments makes me think we will get much more champs (about time). 200 cap and 5 daily is big. Or maybe 4 star champs finally

Bard had NO REASON to have a ballader. It sucked hard. Now? He can get a kill minion on play. Big change. Also the chimes
Evelynn, I suspect cause you stat max anyway and regen works better. Also for that you DONT want to kill your mooks in droves but rather just enoguh to level evelynn up

Nasus change is weird, it was flavorful but weak and now its just the common power. Weird.

Ornn finally got more space to play his shit. Landmark's n1 issue was always the already limited board space and they took that away.
>>1436524
They can't monetize what people actually play kek
Gotta add every fucking champ out there and make fragment buying much more attractive

>>1434975
Get lucky. Seriously. There's no helping it-
Naturally of course you get your saber to do at least "some" damage. The collector isn't bad either
But either way, he's gonna suck early

It's virtually impossible to avoid getting your face punched against this fucking bitch.

You will address him as AURELION SOL.

>>1442063
I struggled a bit with the weekly myself (fuck the hexcore foundry node in particular), but Darius isn't too bad imo - the end of turn damage from his power doesn't proc Blade in the Darkness from what I saw.

So what's going on with LoR? PotC focus until the internal restructuring is over?

>>1445810
>until
No. They never made a profit, literally ever, in some cases some monetization attempts actually cost more to make than made back let alone all the other costs. The PotC focus is an attempt to monetize a different aspect of the game that is very popular (according to internal data), it might be that it's the most profitable part of the game because there's a long grind and a way to skip that grind.
If there's an until then it's until Riot pulls the plug.

Rotation list is out, RIP basically everything and welcome back to Vi.

But this link's probably more useful.

From a quick glance, they put in Braum/Vlad (which was unplayable last I checked), Lulu aggro, Hecarim aggro, and potentially Fiora bullshittery.

They also killed Liss by leaving her in but removing all the other Thrall cards.

Jarro Lightfeather getting a card is all the game was really missing.

>>1454820
The mass layoffs happened without warning so of course they are gonna release all the cards that were close to completion.

>>1454820
They probably figure they're easy enough to translate into PvE.
Lux may be difficult because scaling's a problem, but she gives free +1/+1's and she's a cheap champ which is always good. Her 3* is kinda shit though, it makes sense since it benefits more from boost but impact isn't that great. I suppose we'll see.
Vex looks like she'd be fine, any damage is going to whittle away at strong units and any AoE is basically a slow board wipe. Might run into trouble when enemies start getting Spirit keywords though.
Lilia could be alright, sleep should always be useful and she's getting double spirit buffs (unlike Lux, though with a harder condition). It's a pity they gave her an 8 cost unit though. Unless it's given the "I cost 1, I'm a 1/1 poro" item (which I doubt, it's already 1/1) I can't see it being anything other than cutbait.

>>1455315
They might give it Grow to 8/8 or reduce cost by highest cost champ so she's big or 5 cost.

Is the buy deck button new? Haven't played constructed in forever.

Well after playing for 5 minutes fuck sleep. It doesn't need the heal on top of the infinite buff loop. Bastards decided to make Brash the worst keyword in the game in the same set that they added a card to let me steal low health enemies.

For those wondering, when I drew it the item was gone. I was half expecting it to crash the game so at least they handle it well.
Also, Boost only affects positive keywords for you and negative keywords for enemies, makes it way better.

take the targonpill. the lux player only has enough resources to stack impact on 1 or 2 little fuckers, usually, so if you keep those units permastunned/silenced they can't do anything.

Now that we are done with the contained format what do we think of the story sets?

>Retard Monster hunters like Nilah and Demacian dragonriders keep poking legends and either make friends (Morgana/Janna) or wake up an ancient evil and running away to let it be someone else's problem (Volibear, Mordekaiser, Elder Dragon)

They should have made an Orlon card, then they could've made a Spirit of Orlon card, then make a Dream/Nightmare Orlon card...
Why doesn't Orlon have a card, he's literally one of the founding fathers of Demacia? He should've got at least one or two when Poppy was added...

We already know what he looks like from the unused Wild Rift Lux Storyboard, why not actually show him in lore instead of being rarely mentioned? What's worse is at least Durand and Doran got mention in LoR, but Orlon never got mentioned at all in LoR...

It's obvious that Riot is evading him, because he's part of Poppy's lore and they are still seething about Poppy being the Hero of Demacia and not Lux or Garen or Jarvan, they're so mad at a Yordle having lore that outright canonly says she's Stronger than all of the Demacian Champs put together that they have to rely on this Smol Cootie Patootie Yordle to save them from total destruction that Riot lore writers just try to pussyfoot around from advancing Poppy's lore in Demacia that they just put her right dab in the middle of the Bandlewoods hanging out with a bunch of random dudes doing nothing lore relate besides maybe bringing back Blomgrun back into her lore and introducing an younger sibling..

>>1458892
*Even the Mageseeker game they tried to make Sylas the Hero of Demacia by having Morgana bestow that on him, but good thing that game isn't considered canon, because that was just a dick move in trying to remove Poppy from Demacian lore

What are the Mageseekers exactly? Did something happen in Demacian history that made them fearful of mages? Are Demacians magically inept so they hate mages?

>>1458983
Demacia founders were refugees from the rune wars which were caused by super powerful mages using super powerful magical artifacts to be silly
Their whole country is built upon escaping from magic that's why they have the mageseekers

Kind if happy Support came back. Wouldn't mind if they went back to the Foundations era of mechanics. An Ephemeral champ would be nice to have in PotC

Also, when the refugees aka Orlon and his band plus Poppy built the first settlement in what will be known as the Capital of Ancient Demacia called Zeffira, Kayle and Morgana had a huge fight that destroyed it that resulted in Kayle killing her Dad in the process which she left afterwards, and Morgana went into hiding to feeling ashamed and wanting to be forgotten.

This left an expression on the people that magical beings can't be trusted and thus the Mageseekers were commissioned.

https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Rune_Wars
Also, the reason why Ryze wants to seal away the Runes which he uses Demacia's petricite forest as a vault, he's trying to prevent another Rune War and to prevent people from being corrupted by it like what happened to Brand.

Note: Poppy probably met the Twin Sisters in the flesh and she most likely can end the Mageseeker vs Rebel Mages Civil War and bring back the Real Demacia Tradition as she was around when it was meant to be an ambitious new nation, where all were welcome, regardless of station or background, so long as they contributed to the good of the whole.

>>1459123
Really you just have to look at the shitshow that is Shurima to justify the Mageseekers.

The more I read about Demacia, Petricite, and he Mageseekers the more I like. I know Demacia in LoR is supposed to be about weenies and buffing them but a Mageseeker spell that counters either abilities or spells would be fun. The LoL mmo better have them as a faction or class I could join. There's also the fact there are literal shit logs of Petricite from imprisoned mages makes it funnier

Actually, now that I think about it, if they keep releasing new-old champs like Lux do you think there'll be region switching? Like if Jarro was a champ instead of a follower, EZ would be in both Demacia and P&Z.

>>1459266
It's odd that there are no mageseeker champions, they're all normalfag knights or some form of mage themselves.

Hey, you're on to something there, champs having alternate versions that are in a different region with new keywords/effects/abilities could be interesting for example Noxus Poppy will be a Bandle/Noxus champ with a different keyword/effects/abilities from her Bandle/Demacia version, because Noxus Poppy is supposed to be an alternate universe where she joined Noxus instead of Demacia.

Don't other cards games already do that? I think Senna count as she has a Demacia and a Shadow Isles versions of herself.

>>1459288
There's gotta be some. From the top of my head I snow variants (particularly Swain), tons have Hextech versions (would be stuck in P&Z though), and hell even if we're not restricting to skin lines you can always just go with their past adventures, most of them are pretty well traveled.
Again, assuming they keep adding champs.

It made no profit at all. There was not a single time in its history where it made money, in many cases it was multiple times in the red. It was so non-profitable that some attempts at monetizing actually cost more to make than it made back. If it didn't have riot backing it would've been shut down years ago.

I know it's not happening because of the team getting gutted but the entire fucking dragon archetype needs to be gutted for constructed to be decent.

The entire archetype is just slightly overtuned with a ton of cards that punch above their weight for their cost that get pushed to absurd levels by bullshit like Form Up, Single Combat, and Elder Dragon.

How is my favorite dead card game doing

>>1420154
wait they are killing the game?

>>1466723
Technically no, realistically yes.
They haven't been able to successfully monetize so they're trying a new approach and are moving their focus to PvE (Path of Champions) rather than PvP because it has more players and people who play for longer. But I doubt that's going to work, people aren't going to pay for that either and there's even less reason to buy skins/other shit.
To be clear, most cards and champions will be released for PvP but they won't be created with PvP in mind so some may not be (for obvious reasons), assuming they actually do create new cards/champs (they've said they plan to but you never know).

I like to think of power levels being relavent while playing potc. It gets silly when a 20/24 Mister Thrift takes down Baalkux but I blame Bard.

>event quest for a card back i already finished pops back up this morning
huh?

>>1467701
Yeah I had that happen to an emote quest earlier. I'm assuming it's just a bug.

Played them long enough to have a good idea now
>PoC
Lillia's really good, synergizes amazingly with relics and gets great use out of common powers (especially husks), only downside is the 8 cost you have to cut. She's hilarious if you can get 2 on board too, you can cycle two Lillia's for 1 mana a pop.
Lux2 is pretty decent, just slow tempo, needs a power that gives a free unit imo but can OTK with ease thanks to her 2 cost, best champ for the Greenglade Shadeleaf relic too (support: grant supported ally Elusive).
Vex is kinda shit, she's the only good card in her deck and she's really reliant on being allowed to play slow, and very reliant on rolling pings (either cards or the blade power). but gets great use out of any removal she does get (doubles all unit damage when leveled too), but to mitigate that only positive she has very bad interactions with cards that rely on counting damage dealt (e.g. Tidal Invocation).

Eclipse event I think was Nilah and Janna's release. I remember playing a lot of PoC for their quests when they were new, at least.
>it was revealed that the game has never made a profit
I remember this announcement, but was that "not profitable" or "not profitable enough"? I was always under the impression that LoR was in the black, just not as much as other LoL properties. I remember people were always saying that digital TCGs are usually profitable (assuming they have an audience I guess?) because they require less dev resources than other games.

>>1469286
>I remember this announcement, but was that "not profitable" or "not profitable enough"?
I think I was pretty clear.
TCGs are usually profitable because it's gambling for children (and manchildren), there is no gambling here because there are no packs and cards are easy as fuck to get.

And if we're talking Nilah/Janna, then basically nothing.

wow, seems like I actually didn't miss that much. Thanks for answering my questions so far. Should I care about purple relics if I fight Lissandra, or are decks that can S rank A-Sol enough?

Also, I might be part of whatever problem exists with LoR but PoC is fun and I have no idea why I stopped playing. If I wanted to try out PVP, is there anything I should know that I can't just look up on a meta website? I played a little and enjoyed it, but I have a tendency to overprepare for things so I just kept on hoarding shards.

>>1469355
>Should I care about purple relics if I fight Lissandra, or are decks that can S rank A-Sol enough?
Some champs get a lot of use out of specific purples. imo you should be getting purples whenever you can and upgrading champs that can use them well as opposed to trying to buff specific champs in the hopes they'll be slightly better.
Lissandra is a real bitch though, good luck. She makes Asol look like a 2* adventure.
>If I wanted to try out PVP, is there anything I should know
Not that I'm aware of.
As I said, we just got another rotation so maybe look that up first so you aren't preparing for a card that isn't in rotation.

i could be misremembering some of the relic setups, but nidalee's is definitely right since it's the only build she ever uses

>>1470335
Yours aren't too different from mine, but I haven't put much effort into picking out their relics in a while, I'm sure some are pretty bad.
>Leona
I swap Tempest Blade for Troll King's Crown, I found that I was able to buff units a ton but they were being chump blocked too often. Now of course, you stun them when you can but you can't always do that.
>Jhin (Chemtech Duplicator / Berserker's Buckle / Archangel's Staff)
Weird setup.
Mine's Riptide Battery / Lunden's Tempest / Everfrost. It can be difficult to trigger riptide but it buffs him a ton and puts 5+ skills towards his level up (and does 3*4 damage of course).
>Nidalee
Mine's Caulfield's Warhammer / Archangel's Staff / Lost Chapter, I find the mana from archangel's staff is huge, not big on warhammer but it does help. I'd probably swap it into Transmogulator if I had it.
>Yasuo
I swap Guardian Angel for Stalker's Blade. Not really needed either but it can help when he isn't leveled on summon. Voidborne Carapace would also be pretty good on him since he's a board wiper.

There's also Shaco, but Shaco and Fiddle would feel more like a puppet/inanimate-objects-animated expansion.
Urgot's a freak of nature, but I'm not sure I'd call him horror, same with Warwick.
And after going through all LoL champs, that's about all of them left. If I were to guess, of those Fiddle, Shaco and Warwick make the most sense but Fiddle and Shaco would probably both be Runeterra which is awkward.

i have a feeling i'm misremembering jhin's setup in particular and i might've just had nexus powers like the refill spell mana and +1/+1 on taking damage. berserker's buckle is an option i remember CONSIDERING at the very least, mostly because lissandra's iceshards will triplecast

We weren't active enough, every post was a bump and it still 404'd constantly. It makes most sense to be here.
As far as the game is concerned it isn't EoS but it certainly looks like it's heading that way. They're moving away from PvP and are supporting PvE more. The game has a serious cash flow problem and no one has any idea of how to fix it, it's not even that it didn't have enough players it's just too f2p and there's literally no reason to spend money even if you wanted to.

>>1472104
they will push one last time with Arcane S2 and then kill it for good. the expansion will be Warwick, Fiddlesticks, Amumu

The game is fun and it still throws enough free shit at you that you can build practically any deck by just maxing the chests two weeks in a row just don't get super dedicated to it since it's basically in maintenance mode.

Did they just add like 3 different currencies?
And how the fuck are you going to level everyone up?
Looking at Darius, to unlock everything after his 3* you need
>80 wild fragments
>280 champ fragments
>50 star crystals
>1000 gemstones
>1 nova crystal
Of course saying that, most of them are item upgrades on cards in the deck, the star and nova crystal seem to be the only ones that give star power-equivalent upgrades. No idea how you obtain them though.

>>1478188

jesus christ I just want to play 6 star Norra and I can't even paypig for it since she doesn't have the champion bundle with 280 champ shards

They either worded Viego wrong or it isn't working properly.
>When an ally with 4+ power dies, reduce the cost of all 4+ power allies in hand by 1
Had an Encroaching Mist (4/4) die at round end, my Camavoran Dragon and Kalista (with +1/0) stayed at their original costs, and then again with a 9/2 Kennen and 5/5 Encroaching Mist.
Is it once per game or >5 power allies in hand or what?

Speaking of Viego, his deck is god awful and his powers are slow. His items aren't bad though.

Nah it absolutely happened, I have no idea why. It works well with Hydravine/Viego himself, did the dragon to the right there have its cost reduced? It's possible it's >4 not >=4.

If I'm reading this right you need to do the monthly challenge for the new currencies.
>Star Vessels (star crystals (the orange meteor thing), nova shards (from 100 nova crystals (the long one)))
>Monthly Challenges, Events
>Gemstone Vessels (Gemstones (the circular one))
>Monthly Challenges, Emporium (1500 stardust)
Probably starts next month.
fug, I didn't like the asol grind. You only get one set of rewards per month so there's the very real chance they're drip fed.

Also, looking at the patch notes they buffed Vex's deck a ton.
>Vex’s 2-star power Psychological Warfare and Morellonomicon item now apply Gloom based on pre-mitigation damage values, bypassing Tough and Barrier.

I like it when that happens. I wonder when support champs will have their own 1-star power included when you pick them up.

Does Viego's PoC deck suck baseline, or do I just not remember how bad it is with no stars and levels? His early game seems like kind of nothing where you just have to take hits to keep dorks around for your sac synergies later, but giving up health at the start of every match is pretty rough in an endurance mode like PoC

You can guarantee items on them with the new constellations, iirc Vex has a star that gives all support champions the "play: Grant all enemies gloom" item.

>>1479332
It's much better with stars but it's still slow as balls, imo your goal should be getting 1 drops/pre-summoned units to use a kill spell on so you can start snowballing faster. I have no idea how he's going to deal with the fuckyou scalers like Irelia, Asol and Lis that can get out of control very quickly. He's a bit like Nasus desu, he needs time to scale but once he does he just wins.
It doesn't help that he's currently glitched and his hand reduction power only applies to 5+ power cards instead of 4+ power.

>lost to PoC Nautilus because he put Viego on the bottom of my deck 4 times

>>1480298
How? Viego isn't even necessarily your win condition, your ephemerals are.
You do have him 2*'d right?

>>1480322
>You do have him 2*'d right?
0* and also I spent like 10 rounds vs every opponent just getting chump blocked because I decided to try Corrupted Star Fragment instead of either the blue or green relic that give overwhelm.

>>1480331
I had enough shards to 2* him immediately and his first few quests gave me enough to 3* him, he's pretty smooth as long as you can get going (but 3* is pretty over leveled for anything before Galio desu). I wouldn't suggest the 2.5* adventures as a 0*, that sounds brutal.

>>1480336
I was just going through progressively higher runs to level him up. I think I would have made it with Troll King's Crown instead of Corrupted Star Fragment. I wasn't thinking that bots would be able to chump block Viego and the mist for dozens of turns on end.

>>1478390
So it seems like you get 10 star crystals (the orange ones) per chest (probably more for better chests), and they're region specific so you have a 1/11 chance of getting the region you want, considering how you need 50 per champion (assuming all champs take after Darius) that's 5 chests per and 55 chests if you're targeting a specific region.

>Have to go through mild shit to get to the manaflow on Viego's constellation
Thanks Riot

>>1480746
You're talking about manaflow2 right? You aren't getting it any time soon anyway, 40 fucking crystals.

>>1480748
Yeah, 3 mana gems ought be necesary for Liz I imagine
Still, what I find weird is that nodes don't have rewards for beating them with ALL regions. Only liz has 16 slots.

I like this portal modifier that lets you play Volibear on turn 1

Just beat Galio with Viego for his quest that gave me a fancy chest. I got 1 nova shard and 10 star crystals. You need 100 nova shards for a nova crystal.
Even if it's a non-consumable currency, which I don't think is the case, what the fuck. I hope I was just extremely unlucky.

>>1481195
it's apparently supposed to be a bug and you're supposed to get a whole nova crystal from the chest, not just a single shard

i never bother playing with 0* but at lvl 1 3* he's above average i think. definitely far from the worst.

He's a lot like Voli, if he gets started he'll stomp but minor bricks can mean he's waiting a few turns to do anything. He's surprisingly solid defensively too, especially once you make his 1 cost spell burst.

Recently started playing this should I just give up on ever getting that beat lissandra as Viego quest done? Progression seems pretty slow in this. So far I've gotten a win against the two stars with other champs.

>>1483984
If you can get him to 3* it should be possible, all he needs is a bit of luck and some good rolls. Keep in mind she can hard counter Viego with a "frostbite on summon" power rendering your boys useless. If you can get him to 2* it should be doable but hard. You still have a few more weeks to get the shards and shit you need so it should be fine.

Should I focus what I get on him? That chest probably gives a lot. This is what I have atm.

>>1483994
No reason not to, there are a few (I think) time sensitive Viego quests aside from the Lis one and you clearly need to unlock a bunch of stuff.
By the way, of the ones you've unlocked Jinx and Yasuo are really good (Yasuo is much better as you level him), Lux is meh, especially early, and Taliyah's pretty crap (though it looks like her 4* is going to bail her out a bit). Try to only unlock things with their champion fragments, but if you're 5-10 off then go ahead and use wild fragments if you want who cares, variety does make it more fun. If you wanted to target something other than Viego I'd suggest the original champs (if you can figure out which ones they are) because they have special story missions that give you rewards.

All have an extra 0.5* and 2* story adventure, in some cases they have unique relic rewards that aren't found elsewhere. They were supposed to get a 3rd one but budget issues.

Oh and try and get a variety of regions, some adventures need it.

is gnar bad or i play him wrong? it's been a while since i'm struggling against galio with lvl 13 champ (i use the plunder discount and exp relic for reference)

>>1483994
i don't think you can unlock liss advanture without beating asol (and others) with several champs, can you?
if the unlock system is still the same, you'll need 1 champ from each region at least, and to beat asol you'd want your champs to be at least 2*.
my advice is to just give up on the liss mission. save your wild fragment until your progress stuck (ie. you need champ from certain region to progress, some advanture is too hard). don't use wild fragment for 4*, all champs should be able to beat asol at 3* and your priority is to reach asol and have 24 3* champs ASAP for monthly challenges. in the meantime you can just ignore liss entirely

>>1484006
I got taliyah from the platinum chest from the zed/naut mission. I'll keep those in mind but I do want to build up Gwen and eventually Veigar cause they're my favorite champs.

>>1484018
Yeah it's 5 requirements beat in a 4 star adventure to get there. I kinda figured I was outta luck as a beginner but I wanted to make sure.

>>1484018
Yeah Gnar's pretty bad, the champ is somewhat expensive (4 cost) with little payoff and he's pretty reliant on activating and stacking impact, his only upside is the generated stun and the fact he can do 10 impact damage on a single unit if you're lucky. Easily bottom half of champs imo.

>Lis reqs
Forgot she might have some unlock requirements other than beating Asol once.

>>1484019
Gwen's pretty good.
Veigar is really good at 3*, pretty fun too (if your 2 drop isn't at the bottom of the deck).

Do vaults ever appear in the rewards for completing multiple requirements in adventures? What's the best way for me to upgrade my champ's stars?

>>1484035
The rewards are what you see.
Best way is to focus the ones you want to upgrade, do the daily run (probably want to do more if you just started), and do weekly runs. Try and do higher level runs too, they give more xp and xp also gives your account levels (on the map, click the number on the top left). That said, I've had a full list of 3* champs for ages so I'm not sure how difficult it is to start out now with >50 locked champs

I think I have a faint idea of who's coming on the next batch
>Fiddlesticks
Last expansion was dream-themed, now we're going with nightmares. A no-brainer for sure, specially after we saw that he's fucking with Lux
>Amumu

>>1484145
He's fun. Prize Fight gets foes down to 1 health. Popping a coin or an ally with Attune will finish them off.

>>1484145
As far as BW champs go he's pretty decent. Fun fact, if you get the "If I survive damage, grant me +1/+1" power and prize fight something with 1 health they'll grow +1/+1 with no damage taken.
His 3* gives a lot of utility so you'll be waiting a while to use him properly.

>>1484397
>>1484408
Hmm okay, I had 25 fragments of him before getting that chest so I think I'll get him to star.

>>1484468
You should focus on 2*ing and ignore anything that isn't 2* imo. Some people are ok with running 0* champs but it's pretty aids, especially later on, you desperately need to come online a turn faster. God help you if you try and <2* a Kaisa run, Irelia will rape you.

>>1484470
I learned that when I tried using no star Viego in the nautilus one and Sej just ran over me.

>>1484524
Irelia makes Sej look like a free win, she's considered one of the hardest nodes in the game mode because if you can't get rid of her when she drops (turn 2) or beat her beforehand she'll run right over you, if you know Irelia you know how often she attacks, she gets +1/+1 and a new keyword every attack and she seems to roll the perfect keyword every other time.

>>1484470
>Some people are ok with running 0* champs but it's pretty aids, especially later on, you desperately need to come online a turn faster
I tried Viego 0* into Nautilus a few days ago, and it's insane the difference swapping between Viego and anyone I have 2* or 3*. Really hammers home the difference between PVP and PoC. I still think I might have made it if I'd picked Troll King's Crown instead of Corrupted Star Shard, but in hindsight that run was probably high rolling.

>>1484529
That sounds really annoying, I'm still only on the 2.5 adventures so I haven't seen her in a run yet so I don't know how she works.

>>1484582
Irelia's mechanic is blade dance, which is summoning 1/1s doing a free attack then they're obliterated when they leave combat. Her powers boost them, her items make her some shit like a 5/4 quick attack that comes down on turn 2, and she and one other card will eventually start switching places with or joining the blades as they free attack.
