have you grind for your monthly rewards bros?
Save your sanity, do it over the course of the month.
How's that monthly thing work? I never bothered before because I thought it was just a leaderboard and I didn't want to plan/track all the shit you get locked out of, but it seems like the rewards are good?
>>1507386There are 70 "adventures", each with a different set of powers and going up to 6.5*.Each run has 1-2 fights (both champs are shown before starting) and only like 3-5 upgrade, doesn't give power upgrades at the start or after a miniboss and you can't necessarily cut before a boss. On the upside, you'll always be full health because the miniboss heals you after a win.Each champ can only be used 3 times, a failed attempt counts as a use but you can just retry it with no penalty (other than score which is irrelevant).You get a reward every 5 wins, wins have to be roughly in order, and it's the only way to get Asol shards.I think that covers about everything.
>>1507396Thanks. I didn't notice until like a week or two ago that Asol came from the monthly thing, and before that I only knew that it had multiple stages, the champ lockout, and the score leaderboard.
Ok hear me out>Lillia>2x Dreadway Chase Gun>1x Luden's Tempest>every time she's summoned she does 8 damage to nexus
>>1507833too slow, even for asol it's like what? 6 turns?
Hope they make Sion and Nautilus as main decks in PotC. I like Madness and Deep got me through ranked a good couple of times.
If you're wondering how many spells Targon EZ has in his deck, the answer is a lot. I cast Entrapment on a the targon double stun spell and put 12 puffcaps in the deck.
This game will NOT stop giving me Samira shards from vaults, I hate it. Despite never using a single wild fragment on her I've got 70 of her fragments and everything in her constellation filled out that isn't gated by the new currencies.
>>1511871I hope they've thought ahead enough to start converting them into stardust once they reach the new "cap" where you can't physically use more.I'm sure they haven't though, I wouldn't be surprised if you can 6* and fully unlock a champ and still get shards for it.
>>1512526It would be very basic to future-proof shard caps, although that doesn't mean that they actually have future proofed it.
update soon
>>1513843A PoC champ and EoS notice.We aren't getting any new champs are we.
>>1513849>we aren't getting any new champs are weno, probably not any time soon if at all
I hate that you can't bank shards for 3 star champs. Stop dusting these fuckin leblanc shards.
here's the pyke reworki honestly didn't mind his old powers that much, i was at least able to do asol without much hassle
>>1515054>1* is worse>2* the only reason it isn't worse is the original 2* was dog shit>3* is whatever>4* is worse than the old 3* and kills any benefit from rolling that powerSo it's unplayable until 4* and isn't "better" until 6*? What the fuck is this trash?
>It's another episode where Viego just spams Dawning shadow and gets infinite kill spellsWhy
>>1515054Nah his old power was shit cause he would just generate garbageHere Its basically worse until you have lie in wait, after that he's goodAlso there's a big problem to pyke himself being such a fucking pathetic unit in its base stats
>>1515074Because minibosses are cancer.>Azir>Trynd to an extent (though his power being rollable for full adventures is the only problem with him desu)>Irelia>Zoe>Viego
>>1515079Honestly they are fine but viego has this posibility of going fucking retardedIt's the first time It actually happens to me to the point of having to trying again, and its all just 1 fucking card
>>1515089Zoe and Irelia win with "1" card too.Irelia's really bad but Zoe is hell, you know what's coming and you can't do anything about it unless you have direct removal.
>>1515095Irelia is just a matter of early game stabilization. If you can stop her from attacking early you win right thereZoe is just zoe being the problem, and she usually doesn't get overwhelm ever so any elusive chump blocker will do the workAzir is a rush down to survive the emperor's divideTrynd is funny, actually. But that's prob because we got much more options to deal with his bullshit now
>>1515056there's no way we were getting anything other than lie in wait for 4* and the devs don't like flat stat bonuses since they feel it's not strong enough for higher difficulties (which is why kai'sa got a buffed version of her 2* instead of manaflow for her 5*) so turning pyke's 1/3 into "lurk scales harder" is understandable thought process to mei agree it sucks ass until 4* though but from that point on i imagine it'll be better than what we've gotpersonally hoping star of discovery and star of legends slap mariner's ruse on 4+ cost followers and support champions respectively>>1515078pyke should be freed from the pvp nerfs, making him a 5 cost was unjustified
>>1515113>but from that point on i imagine it'll be better than what we've gotNah I'd say it's worse. You can't pick any 4+ cost units because they're going to get in the way of lurk. They'll have to add ANOTHER side-buff like you said to cover those units, if they have a separate one for followers and champs then that's 80~ shards just to make the 4* pyke equal to the old 3* pyke, meanwhile other champs get nothing but straight upgrades from them.
>>1515074>play a champ that wants to sit on the field>shadow isles node has kill spells 4 turns in a row>this happens for multiple shadow isles nodes in the runI still won that run but I was very mad about it
>>1515118>just to make the 4* pyke equal to the old 3*NTA but 3* is basically lurk twice and it's pretty big especially when game usually decided on the first 3 turns. but yeah, he need to be at least 4*>You can't pick any 4+ cost units because they're going to get in the way of lurkthen don't? it's not like you're picking small unit when playing elder either
>>1515169>then don't?You often don't have a choice in the matter. Half the time you picked shit units because the other option was spells which brick your lurk, now both will brick your lurk.
The real problem is that lurk is gimmicky and clearly not funcitonal for PoCLike, if Naut was released, all you have to do is make deep units gain more stats and its the same as always, since that deck was built with pure unga gainsBut lurk is always a gamble that doesn't reward properly for PoC. You are still bricking your deck by picking things over 3 cost that aren't lurking, and you are still bricking your deck by picking spells without lurk (99% of them) before 6*Also yeah >>1515113>pyke should be freed from the pvp nerfs, making him a 5 cost was unjustifiedPyke can get crazy and end games immediately on his own though, so he just needs a cost reduction and call it
https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-5-7-notes/
>>1515856So basically Pyke needs his special equiment to be any goodAnd I guess you could meme it by making Pyke super powerful in other decks
>>1515857>And I guess you could meme it by making Pyke super powerful in other decksI don't think a 4 cost strike for 1 is particularly useful in other decks.>Both are available in each Champion’s Celebration Bundles but not golden reliquaries.Love it.
>>1515863>I don't think a 4 cost strike for 1 is particularly useful in other decks.Oh I mean by actually grabbing pyke or pulling some lee sin shit on him >Love it.Gotta make money somehow lolGuess maybe EOS truly is adverted
I don't get why Jayce doesn't get something useful like Sorcery as a power.
>>1515879I remember Jayce being pretty shit in the previous version, his early game was horrible, maybe that's what they were trying to "fix".Sorcery is fucking strong too, might be too much of a buff for 4*.
>they changed the enemy star count from physical stars to a star + numberThey're absolutely going to have power creep aren't they.
>>151596210* adventures lets fucking goWe already saw the super CBT weekly missions with a 6.5* ASol
>>1515980I remember last months monthlies having some 6+* shenanigans.Have they said what the rewards will be?
>>1515984no, not yethere's my guess:>silver star vessel>gold vault>minor gemstone vessel
>>1515856just in time for pyke update
AHAHAHAHAHLOLLMAOOH MY FUCKthese niggas is TRIPPING
>>1516206 (me)...huh. i was actually right with these guesses, even if the order is wrong (swap the gold vault and minor gemstone)
>>1515118>They'll have to add ANOTHER side-buff like you said to cover those units, if they have a separate one for followers and champs then that's 80~ shards just to make the 4* pyke equal to the old 3* pyke,Called it. Other champs get straight upgrades, he gets "as good as it used to be".
>>1516802>7500holy fuck
>>1516802Wait, they removed the ability to buy items with stardust.
>>1516834Oh nevermind I'm blind, it's just under the gold thing now.
>>1516834they added the option to buy gold vaults and stardust with the currency used to craft cards for pvp, but the old options are still there anon
Holy shit pyke is saved
>>1516868>break his legs>offer him the chance to buy a new pair of legsYeah, saved.
>>1516891Just like league
>>1516812i'm retarded, it's not right to left like old weekliescorrect order is>gold vault>silver star vessel>minor gemstone vesselthey really want to push the idea of 20 region-locked gemstones out of a minimum 150 cost being a valuable rewardanyways, here's some new legendary powers
Why'd they have to slap Patrol Wardens in Jayce's deck? It doesn't even get good items, it gets challenger. Why not Unstable Voltician or something like that? Sure it costs a little more but it fits with the deck better and it's not like a 2 mana 4/3 (or, let's be honest, a 3 mana 4/3) is particularly strong. His 2* means you want to hold them in hand longer too, that completely kills the -1 mana buff and would let you play Voltician the turn after a mana 3 with 3 spell mana 6 cost spell.
>>1516966Prob just to have a cheap unit. And you are right, Unstable Volitician was the OG on 6+ mana spell unit
>Try updated Pyke>First swing of first game I miss Lurk because of Monster Harpoon>Not 4 star so no lurk on followers I add to my deckWell fuck this.
>>1516981post-rework pyke's shittier until 4* unless rng gives you get lie in wait or you get rek'sai as a supporting champ to skew the minion pool further towards lurkthat being said, the bone skewer and harpoon in your starting deck fucking you over is nothing new
So I've done Teemo, Garen and Lulu with Jayce and I can't help but notice that pretty much no powers work well with him.There are some like spell mana refill and doubling up on slow spells, but it's far less than other champs. You can't even take a power that reduces the cost of drawn cards/spells because your spells have to cost 6+ or your champ and 2 of your powers are dead weight.
>try the new weeklies>it's all deadly + staunch defender shit again like swain's campaigni'm really hoping this doesn't become the new standard
>>1517137The 3rd gets 1.5x value for their 200 chimes too (which, assuming 40 cards, is +8/+8 worth of stats every turn).
>>1517137What are some other interesting modifiers that would make things really hard without just being +10/+10 on turn 1?
>>1517279>really hardDoes it have to be "really hard"? Half the champs can't even do Lissandra/Swain without a ton of failed attempts, does it have to be harder?
tried pyke with 4* and full constellation (except 5* and 6*) and he's still miserable holy shit
>>1507067this game still alive lmao?
>>1517378Do you come back every month just to repeat the same thing?
>finishing up monthly challenges>#67 Azir drops Azir + Dunekeeper, next turn Dunekeeper, Dunekeeper, Azir spell>levels Azir on his first actual attack
>>1517868Azir only becomes a massive problem in case you can't stabilize/duplicate/get killed anyway on emperor's divideNow irelia in the monthlies? That was funny. Good thing ASol is there
Did Swim deserve it?
>>1518558It's a Freljord node so your choices are Voli, Ornn or Ashe (or dodging a 1 mana advantage), only Voli is good there and he doesn't stabilize in the first 2 turns.I still won but those first two turns were fucking retarded.
Have any of you unlocked any 6* powers yet? If so, which champions?I'm currently saving up wild fragments for Vex's (just got her 4* today) afterwards I'm thinking about working on Kai'sa's constellation.
>>1518684I could, I have a few nova crystals but the problem is spending them means you can't unlock the 6* of another. Do you put it on a good champ, making them amazing, or do you put it on a bad champ, leaving a bad champ with a bit of a buff?Not even close to the 5* on any champ though.
>>1518684NoI just focus on getting the good ones to 4* so I can do the most bullshit monthly challenges
>try the second hard weekly>first node>turn 2, full board of 6/3s >I bricked no spells in swain, with the spell mana powerDo they think this is fun?
>>1518745You are just meant to ASol that shit until you get 6* everywhere
>>1518745I don't like the Deadly + Staunch Defender + Opponent 5 Starting Mana shit either, it's not very fun to me even if I was able to do it first try (4* Vex and some really beneficial RNG on my starting rewards)I agree with >>1518754, just ASol the newer weeklies if you've already got him at 4*, the 6.5* adventure in particular is absolutely miserable if you try to do it normally.
>>1518759Yeah, I just figured Swain would be alright since he'd be perfectly fine with their poros. It's just the first fight is horrendous for a starting match, it reminds me of the rock hopper kaisa node ramped up to 11.After the first few fights I had no trouble at all, I got some really good item rolls (1 mana Swain when plundered, lots of draw, +4 to Deaths Hand damage, and a -cost per draw TF which was actually really useful). Though I must say I'm not a fan of the Anivia node. I really wish that stayed in Lissandra.
I just read the 6.5* again, I thought the puffcap bit was game start, it's fucking round start. Jesus christ.
>>1518684yes, jinx (5 stars without manaflow). gotta say having 1 busted champ to blast through everything when you want a fast game is pretty good. if you're new make sure you have enough champs for monthlies first though
>>1519097I'm at 50/70, I've been taking my time with the monthlies but I'm pretty confident I can do the remaining 15-20. I don't care that much about the gemstone vessel but it's just the last 5 fights after getting the platinum vault.
>>1519393Bad thinking; you should be focusing on the later ones since those are hard and need you to use the best you gotAfter that, you can do whatever Of course it all depends on how new you are.
Doing this 6.5* with asol, it's the most cancerous bullshit I've ever seen. No one thought this was fun while they were designing it. If they're going to force this shit into the weekly rewards then they're going to see a huge player drop off.
>rotation adds zilean and ziggs>no xerathok, guess I'm still not playing this game then.
>>1519494if asol doesn't work for you, 3* nidalee with crownguard inheritance/tempest blade/lost chapter worked for me>drop nidalee t1 as bush, transform her with ambush (1/4 towards level up)>drop all-terrain trooper t2 as bush (2/4), wait until the opponent's attacking>transform the all-terrain trooper with ambush (3/4 on transform, 4/4 from the copy)>you get a rally and the opponent's full board is stunned>get your free attack in, then just be smart about timing nidalee's stun+rally on the following turn>repeat every fight until the adventure's overavoid the encounter that recalls your shit whenever the opponent summons, the strategy's very vulnerable to removal
Damn I almost forgot you can win anything with a Katarina in ASol deckThese nigthmares need it
>>1519607pic for evidence>>1519612that works too
>>1519607It eventually worked out but the marai songstress node filtered me hard, nearly 30/30 elusives on turn 2 is not ok.There are probably only 5 or so decks that can reasonably do that node, even including fully 6*'d champs.
Mono-Noxus Samira is fun. I got real lucky with the second mid boss. Karma + Duplicate but I drew 3 of the reputation strike spells along with the reputation duplicate.
>>1520073When the fuck did I pick up a bilge card
>>1520078you've got a warning shot in your hand, could that be it? it's not like bilge is that bad for samira when it's where plunder's originally from anyway
Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him.Imagine getting perfect manaflow and still getting hit a shit ton with the caps. Its why you must rush the fuck out of the early nodes, specially the very first.
>>1520090No, Warning Shot came from Dreadway Chase, which didn't effect the mono-Noxus symbol. It was Father Fury I picked up.
>driest content drought yet>people are begging on their knees for new champions>latest content is PoC nodes but the AI gets 50 million advantages and the player gets 100 billion disadvantagesBravo riot
>>1520687>people are begging on their knees for new championsNew champions to PoC are new champions. We knew we wouldn't get new new champs for a while.
>>1521023Yeah the only gamemode that matters still doesn't have a lot of championsSpeaking of the CBT missions6.5* lissandra now has perfected manaflow. Also caged match seems silly, really. You ain't rushing through one that fast unless you pull Katarina in ASol
>>1521050Oh yeah I forgot those updated.>deadly is just something they all getGay. I was hoping it'd be a different epic power.>4.5*Looks easy enough.>5.5*>hugifyGAY.>Lissandra with 50% more stats, faster mana growth, and literally can't die until round 5What retard designed this?
>>1507067Just finished them up today, felt like there was a lot of (Targon) Ezreal and Katarina challenges this month but that might just be confirmation bias on my end.
>>1521062There definitely were a lot more than normal, and it felt like every 5th past the halfway mark had the +2/+2 on strike power.
Holy fuck a red node from the start? What the fuck?!
Ok, this is epic.
>>1521357Outskilled.
>bullshit weeklies where you can only win by running asol and praying that you roll katarinahmmm yes content
>>1522866You can also win them by having bullshit epic relics that require high rolling gold reliquaries.
>>1522866you don't really need katarina for the 4.5 and 5.5 and i imagine she doesn't actually help much for the 6.5 because the enemy nexus can't die for 5 rounds
>Irelia at 5.5
>don't have the easy Asol epic relic>this 6.5Realistically how many people are actually going to bother with it after taking a single look at it?
Oh boy, a gold reliquary in the emporium>master yi'sAnd it's trash.
>>1523237i've only ever used three (powder, spellweaver's & stone) out of my nine epic relics, and two of those are on one specific champ each
>>1523265I've used a few.>Disciple of ShadowsGreat on Viego, Nasus and Morde, and any high cost champ that must drop quickly and you don't care if you kill your own units to do so.>Oath of the GuardiansTop tier relic, I've got it on Ekko, Elise, Nilah, and Thresh.>Packed PowderOnly have it on MF and Swain, but it's good.>Spirit of the Bhru/The Beast WithinBeast is a direct upgrade to the overwhelm aura relic so I've just gotta get around to slapping that on champs, and Buhru's probably useful on Illaoi and maybe 1-2 others but I never use her.>Portal Pals/Found FortuneTotal memes but fun on Janna/ED.
>>1523265Oh, and what champ do you have Stone on? I was thinking about it a while back but I couldn't think of any champ that would really use it well. Formidable is a huge downgrade on most things.
>>1523291don't have disciple, oath, or beast, though i would absolutely be using beast on a lot of champs if i had itpowder is great and is typically what i bother unlocking epic slots to usebuhru i have, but i haven't bothered unlocking the epic slot on the champs it's good on (poro king being the first one that comes to mind)portal/fortune are memes, like you said
>>1523295kai'sa, because getting ANY keywords out helps you hit the 2* +2/+2 on your unitsi'd be using beast within instead if i had it
>>1523304Disciple was offered in the emporium when Morde was released, it's almost like they said "He's too expensive, he's going to be practically useless".Oath was my first one, I thought it was shit desu.
>>1523295kayn, he have high health and his power give you pseudo-regen anyway. +1 health also help your unit to stay alive for +2/+2 buff.I'm not sure it's the best one but it does well enough as my main build
>5.5* weekly>irelia summon 10/20 elusive on turn one that can attack multiple times per turn>tresh summon ledros that does 100% damage your nexusthis run feels even more bullshit than the 6.5*
>>1524979That's the final boss of the nightmares btwAside from >>1521357 I had no big problems with anything else
>>1524979>5.5 feels more bullshit than the 6.5i wasn't going to do the 6.5 this week so thanks for convincing me to, i got 100 gemstones from the reward on the one region that already gave me a 50
anyone else not getting the reward from the last new mission.it's pretty annoying because it has happened twice to me now (it happened during jayce's quest too)
>>1525031you got the rewards, the game just didn't give you any indicator of what they were. it's like when they first introduced the bronze vaults on dailies - the vault was automatically opened and the resulting champion fragments and/or stardust were just shoved silently into your inventory
Just straight up fucking remove blade dance from the game
Can I just not use wild shards on certain champs now? Is there an option to convert them anywhere?
>>1525166you can't use wild fragments on asol, but that's always been the case
>>1524979I was lucky enough to stomp that adventure, I think I must've rolled the silence spell for half of them so their 10/20s were useless.Also, has anyone else noticed that you get the attack token a lot in these nightmare weeklies? Maybe I'm misremembering it but I don't think they've got the attack token a single time at the start of the game.>>1525029The 6.5 is "alright" so long as you can handle the board, you just need to control it for a few turns and (obviously) need to be able to do a lot with little mana.That is unless you get high rolled by the Howling Abyss and they drop an ED like what happened to the other anon.
>>1525227>has anyone else noticed you get the attack token a lotyeah and i'm pretty sure it's intentional too, since the core of the new weeklies is just a rehash of swain's 5* adventure with some extra modifiers replacing the game start: triple citybreaker
>take Nasus to Asol>get to him no problem>first game he just stalls out by blocking my nasus every time making me do negligible amounts of damage until he rolls an obliterate>second round he rolls an obliterate early then gets me stuck between a perfect lethal (thanks to his 6, 7 and 8 mana champs all having overwhelm) or a survive for 1 round -> rally into lethal because summoning nasus again will kill his sionSometimes they just force you to lose.
>>1525302Just wait till you take on nightmares and Lissandra/Swain.
>>1525493I have.I'm trying to clear the board with everyone, which with the addition of Liss/Swain seems unlikely.
>take viego to lissandra>get the undying item on encroaching mistsSuffice to say, Pissandra did not survive this
I'm not sure I'll ever actually use this one, ah well.
>>1525670Only places I could see it being useful is on Nasus, Lee Sin or Master Yi if you don't take the overwhelm aura.
>>1525675The best champion I could think of for it was Ornn (doesn't have any of the keywords granted, can reliably trigger both fated/augment and hit 10 power pretty fast, tanky enough to actually use the regen instead of dying), but he's also a 7 cost that's not as easy to cheat out as the other expensive champs.
>>1525685Ornn has overwhelm if you give him corrupted star.Fated/Augment might buff him a little.Regen is kinda pointless if you're doubling your stats every attack.Challenger is ok I guess, but he doesn't really need it and he'll sometimes get it from equipment anyway (your 5 cost equipment has it).
>>1525670i use it on samira and viego, challenger and overwhelm is pretty useful especially on harder run when 15/15 on turn 5 isn't the biggest thing in the board
>>1525091Ionia has to keep their iconic cancer brand mkay>>1525670That one is Varus core, at least
>Raiding party on swainHoly shi->Raiding party is on swain constellation as wellHOLY SHIT
Guardians Orb is pretty good on Lillia.I could've put more in but I think 128 on Tahm is plenty.
>when you summon an ally, increase the cost of all copies everywhere by 2Oh no no no no Asol Katarina bros...
>>1527660Simple.Created Katarina.>>1527103Can lillia wake up herself immediately?
>>1527660katarina has never been necessary>>1527667iirc you need to get a second lillia out
>>1527660Timelines bros our time has come.
HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND SOMETHING>Ichor makes the enemy take twice the damage since it counts as a spell on their side, which means is boosted by deadlyHoly kek
What the fuck.
>>1528701It's your fault for leaving Zoe on the board for that long.
>>1528705That was the second Zoe and she only survived the dragon single combat thanks to buff spells. Wasn't expecting looping +13/+13 off a single gem.
>>1528709That's just bad luck
Worth?
>>1530343i'd save it for a hypothetical caitlyn or viktor myself (i'd be surprised if we didn't get one of them to go with arcane s2), but of the pnz champs you can choose from now i'd say she's the best pick to spend it on
If Demacia is whiteNoxus is redFrejlord is greenIonia is blueShadow Isles is blackWhat does that make PnZ, Shurima, Bandle City, and Mt.Targon
>>1530439i've only played a tiny bit of mtg and it was a long time ago, so if someone wants to call me a retard and correct me then go ahead>pnz: red/blue>shurima: black/green(? less sure about this one)>targon: green/whiteno clue on bandle, it's a particularly weird region to try comparing to mtg based off the little i remember
>>1530343It might be, it means you can use something other than asol for the harder nightmare missions.
>>1530343yeah, she's good if you want fast game and i imagine her 3* will have a hard time clearing big boards in 5* adventures
This 5.5* is peak bullshit.>just run through fucking huge overwhelms and elusives every turn bro>btw anivia's the miniboss, enjoy facing that at a 7 mana disadvantageYou literally can't use anything other than asol or a 6* jinx/swain/yasuo (which basically no one has and no one will have for months), I'm trying with viego who's really good and they're fucking forcing me to asol. Weeklies were fun because there was variety with a reward, there's no variety here.
>>1530722I had no problems doing Swain with her at 4* (even if the 4 Regen from champion levelling decided not to work for whatever reason) but Lissandra's tricky if only because of that one power that can show up on any fight.
>>1530750Weeklies can be fun but>Irelia nodesAlways make me roll my eyes. Should be more like a regular adventure, with 3 champ nodes and at least 1 power in all of that
>>1531067It's just the way everything's scaled, it's ridiculous, it really shows their limited game design ability when the only way they can think of to create a "hard" adventure is "free units + baseStats*1.5*2".
>stay away from the game for a bit>come back>99% of your decks are "unavailable" because Riot cannot balance the game and just gave up trying>if you want to play a deck you like you need to queue for eternal and get anally raped by Azirelia and elusive spam>PoC, the only fun gamemode, is now a faggy grindfestHuh, I wonder why the game is flopping
>>1530722Is she solid for power clearing 6.5?Like is she consistently fast as fuck?
>>1531646Jinx is arguably the second best champ in the mode but she has problems with beefy boards, the 6* might fix that.If you really want to you can drop her the second action of every game by the way (assuming you draw her), slap a plunder relic on her, cast your always-drawn spell (with the free spell mana from her tree), that'll ping nexus and she's now 2 cost.

>>1531722My asol's level 30, I run Guardian's Trinket because basically any champ is amazing on him. I rolled a Seraphine with double attack, which would be one of the best possible rolls if I actually drew an asol at any point (very cheap, gives a created card, doubles created card casts, etc).
>>1531726yeah i wouldn't run guardian's trinket personally, as much as it synergizes with his gameplanas you experienced, not drawing asol is a death sentence (he's your win condition) so i avoid drafting extra champs whenever possiblehell, i even run chameleon's necklace for the extra copies + random item
>>1531737>not drawing asol is a death sentence (he's your win condition)He's only your win condition when the opponents board is filled with oversized units, normally champs and double units alone are enough (with the possible exception of the first game). Half the time I win long before he drops.
>>1531646well, she usually is but broken blade counter her so i juat asol instead
just bring pyke into liss adventures for fun and it's surprising seeing how trivial she has become
>daily quest is attack with 11+ Elusive Bilgewater unitsThat's awfully specific.

>>1533556They're really on a skeleton crew eh.Can't wait to hear that the changes didn't generate any income, they just saved costs by firing 90% of the staff.
LETS FUCKING GOABOUT FUCKING TIME I GOT IT
>>1534871hold up>if my supported ally is a followerwait when the fuck was this nerfed?what the fuckWHAT THE FUCK
>>1534876I think it's always been like that.If you're the Viego anon from a while back then I don't think it matters anyway, you'll be using it for the +2 boost and only on the ephemerals.
>>1534961it didn't have the 'follower' stipulation before, meaning you used to be able to duplicate champions which made this completely broken on Leblanc and Nidalee as they end up filling the board with attackers on turn 1-2
>>1534871i've had it for a month and never used it>>1534966even unnerfed i wouldn't put it on nidale myself, i like the crownguard inheritance + tempest blade setup on her too much and lost chapter is really convenient for letting you summon her turn 1
>>1535053I've got Archangel's Staff and Transmogulator (and Lost Chapter of course). Spell mana's too useful in her deck and transmog means you +5 a unit in a single turn, +7 if you have scout on someone. Sure you don't get to pick but at that point you don't really need to. Crownguard's probably better but I find she levels up too quickly when she drops which wastes it or you have to do a shit attack anyway.
Fun fact, Swain spells with Pyromantic Wake applies your 3*'s bonus damage.
>5.5* CBT adventure>Everthing clerable with Asol>Except that trundle just fucking won on round 2 first timeI mean I didn't stall for healing to 40 , was only at 34 but what the fuckAnd here I thought I would hold back a little for fun before the 4* upgrade
>>1531105I don't get why they don't just spam random epic nodes for everyone instead of deadly>>1531462Blade dance was a mistake and everyone knows it.Prob the single worst mechanic the game ever introduced.>>1534129I wonder if the button on the LoL client did anything at allI must say tho, what the fuck was the rest of the staff even doing when "fully crewed" ?
>>1536606>I wonder if the button on the LoL client did anything at allDoubt it, they were already moving away from PvP so it would've stemmed the bleeding a little at most. Too little too late.
>>1536612I mean it was the same with TFT.No one gave a fuck about it until they forced everyone to download it alongside league every time.
>>1536614TFT is slightly different since it's in-client, the LoR button opens up a new program. I doubt they need many more assets anyway, they're (mostly) existing champ skins + some mini characters.I think the fact the game was clearly dying when they added it meant people just wouldn't care. If it was at the start then it might've seen a large player bump. No one wants to get invested in a dying game.

>>1537225Its a good thing those effects ignore all spellshields
>>1507067I haven't played this game in months. Apparently they're going all in on the single player now? How are they making money if nobody is buying memecoins to make decks for ranked now?
>>1537361No one was buying memecoins to make decks for ranked before, they're hoping PvE whales show up because there's a decent amount of skip-the-grind payments you can make now.
>>1537371>they're hoping PvE whales show up because there's a decent amount of skip-the-grind payments you can make now.is it working?
>>1537386Dunno, they haven't said anything about it that I'm aware of.What I do know is it was either this or they shut down. For reference, they said>it wasn't profitable at any point in its history>in some cases costs were multiple times what they made in income>there were some money-generators (e.g. guardians/boards) that didn't even pay for their own creationThey've definitely incentivized buying more than they did so I'd assume there are buyers. Plus there's stuff you can't grind for now (champ-specific epic relics aren't in gold reliquaries iirc), and stuff that's going to take forever to grind for (months if you're lucky, years if you're lucky with gemstones) that you can buy immediately. Combine that with the fact they cut a lot of staff and they might be in the green now, maybe.
>>1537395>>it wasn't profitable at any point in its historyJesus. I don't get how you can fuck up a card game gacha especially if you already have the established IP. All the other games pull in millions annually, I don't see what these guys were doing differently.
>>1537522They were way, WAY too generous. Imo, essence being used to craft cards directly was very nice of them but never once did I ever have the incentive to buy more cards via coin.
>>1537522Way too generousAnd also, they don't have a cult tier fanbase that will play whateverThe only ones that do that are ranked bitches in LoL and those will ONLY play ranked in LoL
>>1537545>>1537552This makes me feel like the fighting game is going to be doomed because they're gonna pivot hard in the other direction and charge you for EVERYTHING
>>1537560I mean, its fightan. Dead in 6 months.
>>1537522There was no real card game gatcha, you could pretty much always pick what you wanted.They tried to go the super f2p with skins route and failed.>>1537560What I saw of the fighting game didn't interest me at all, I can't stand the stutter fighting SF popularized where everything pauses for half a second after every hit in an attempt to emphasize impact.
>>1537016looks like left is a new champion to runeterra, right looks like Ornn
>make some insane hand control deck on an asol run>lots of spells with the "opponent discards a random card" item and the "copy slow spells" power>my turn, asol has 2 cards in hand and an asol on board>celestial spells are slow so I should be fine>play a slow spell to discard his 2 cards>he generated the literal only card that could bring him out of this, living legends>I eventually restore the sun disk (Nasus's power) and drop level 3 Nasus and Renekton>he still almost stopped me by generating Horned Swarmcaller (I'm guessing from Inviolus Vox) and targeting those twoJesus.
>>1537932twitter are saying vi but i guess ornn makes more sense since pvz just got jayce but wish they make him do more than just big stats
>>1537806>There was no real card game gatcha, you could pretty much always pick what you wanted.A rookie mistake. I guess once they realized they fucked up card acquisition they couldn't go back to a traditional gacha system otherwise people would shit their pants and immediately dump the game.
Looks like the new 6.5* was created specifically to counter Asol.>Warm Reception>Game Start: The Foe summons the two different Strongest units from their deck.>Misbegotten Creation>The player's created cards cost 3 more.I have no idea what you could even take for this. Obviously Asol's off the table unless you want to play without his cost reduction but Warm Reception is so fucking aggro I don't think my other "good" decks could handle it.
>>1538382I'm pretty sure what happens is either the created cards still cost 0 because of Asols power happens after the 6.5* relic or it costs 3 with the effect happening after the reductions.
>>1538504My point was champ cost reductions are going to be impossible because you can't play created cards without going severely negative.
>>1538518just pray for a rerelease of starforger gauntlets

>>1539497for 6 stars champs? spicy toast gaming has made one quite a while agohttps://youtu.be/pTRhuBIN_zA?si=5IANBlwvWA-cupc1can't say i agree but it is what it is
>>1538526HOLY FUCKWE ARE SO BACK
>>1539458Jeeze, another P&Z. My guesses were based on filling out the regions a little more evenly. To make things funnier Janna's now the only P&Z without a 4-6*.Currently (main regions, so no multi-regions)>6 Bandle>7 Bilge>3 Freljord>5 Ionia>5 Noxus>5 (now 6) P&Z>4 Shurima>6 SI>4 Targon>10 RuneterraFreljord, Shurima and Targon are lagging behind.As for Cait>2* feels weak, maybe it'll stack up with shadow totems/poros>1* and 3* feel necessary, particularly for Lissandra and the huge boards you have to deal with>4* looks good>6* I have no idea what Ace in the Hole is>deck looks pretty mediocre, flashbomb peddler with 2 spells? a 2 mana draw 1 plant 2? 8 mana "pick a player to draw 3"? Items will fix some I guessI still think she's going to really struggle with big boards so I don't think she's going to be very good, hell, I think she might even be hard to level against 4*+ adventures, if you attack you're just going to lose your units. But one of the things going for her is the AI does tend to have a lot of draw.
>>1539775Oh, patch notes has it.Looks decent, I'm assuming crit is just 1.5x/2x damage. It's a little odd they'd create a new keyword for a card that isn't main-deckable, so I'm assuming the first PoC exclusive champ will be based around it.It's a little slow for a 6* but it looks like it'd be good since it's constant generation.
>take tahm to the 4.5* because it's perfect for him>despite rolling like shit the whole way through, no trouble at all until darius>darius starts with a 9/11 darius with challenger and stuns+rallies 3 turns in a row with Darius's spellThis is why I take asol.
Are flashbombs effected by luden's echo?
>>1539845Yep, Everything is fine, and then the champion nodes are ultra 7* tier and everything else is a meme.
>>1539890No, they aren't a skill or spell.
>win 5+ star adventure with caitlmao, pay up goy
>Cait's constellation gets shadow totem on House Whump, Tear of the Goddess on Advanced Intel>Her leveling gives them Coralcrush Gauntlets (brash) and poro snaxThat feels intentional.

I'm not sure they tested cait at all.>attack with a full board>6 instances of the flashbomb being planted, each taking about half a second>each flashbomb hits the upper end of the volume settingsIt gets annoying very fast.
>NOOOOOOO YOU CANNOT USE ASOL TO CLEAR 6.5* STOP IT!!!!!Yeah fuck you, and the mvps were Ultimate power, and mimic
>>1540578I missed it the first time, I don't care if it costs money. Better than waiting and praying for it to drop and then when it finally does its nerfed for some god damned reason like my experience with spectral scissors.also who are you quoting.

>cait lv2 damage aren't even tripledmake sense i guess but she's even worse than i thought holy shit
>>1540793It isn't buffed by +damage relics either because it isn't a skill.But yeah she feels pretty weak. the deck's completely reliant on her to anything unless you have the "deal 4 to nexus if a unit dies out of combat" power. You can't even attack with the other units half the time because they're total shit and will die instantly and only give you a flashbomb in return.She's also severely lacking forced draw, they lose their board then half the time they rebuild and you're back to step 1. That 3 cost "both players draw 2" spell would be amazing over the unplayable 5 cost.
Ah yes, turn 2 of the second encounter.>free henchman and scavenger>gives henchman elusive>copies it with shady character>drops a poro just to rub it in>despite rolling Trafarian Might I can't get rid of any of them because they keep summoning chump units to suicide

What Bandlewood champ did you guys use on Targon? I thought a Veigar with chemtech duplicator would be enough but the amount of health generated by Asol's champs is too much
>>1541881>on targonon asol's world adventure? i used vex, same for lissandra's as well
>>1541881>Asol's champsthat's why you target the nexus, silly
>>1541881Teemo or Norra. Teemo's completely bricked if they drop an elusive though, and Norra can take time so they could beat you with overwhelm.
>pop blossom doesn't work with multiple subtypesi want my crystal back
>>1542522>He actually spent it on NeekoOH NO NO NO NO NO
>>1542522Wait it's once per attack, not stacking per unit?>>1542529Problem is the only other Runeterra option is Aatrox and it's only boosting his "I win" card. I was considering popping it on Neeko too.
>>1542548Well I actually got two crytals so I don't really care, but would rather drop it for another darkin champ>and it's only boosting his "I win" card.Isn't that what neeko power is about as well?
>>1542570Neeko's is damage to nexus and board every time you attack, like Anivia but scaling, it's value every attack. Aatrox's is "You just turned your board into huge units, btw double their stats", I suppose it isn't technically an "I win" and would help against anything 5*+ but you get the point.I just checked the text and if it's only doing 1 damage with a board of subtyped allies then that's a bug.
>>1542593no, it's up to 7 damages per attack but i was hoping the damage count the subtype (ie. the dog with dragon item counts as 2 damages)
>>1542902Oh, no, it says per unit with a subtype.
So caitlyn best gameplay option is just do teemo gaming? Not even teemo benefits hard enough of his own powers.
ahahahaAsol's power "Celestial cards cost 0" hard counters Broken Blade and I assume any other cost increasing enemy powersand I thought It would be a problem
poggers
>>1544086It's Lissandra's power.
>>1544116what are you talking abiut
>>1544125Broken Blade, it's Lissandra's power. We knew Asol countered it when she came out.
>round start; The foe summons a 999/999 follower with "Attack: Win instantly">the player units cost 10 more and have -50/-50>the player's deck is reduced to 2>the player only starts with 1 card and only gets mana gems at round 20>if you win this you get a tiny brap of this faggy new PoC currencywoooooooooow amazing new content riot thank you!
>>1544334Old Teemo could do it.
>>1544334Asol low diffs
If they only add that niggress from Arcane in the next update and nothing more I'll legit uninstall. That will just confirm the studio is running on 0 budget and will EoS soon
>>1546394>yet another P&Z (4th in a row)They don't have the balls.Besides she'd need new mechanics, there are already tons that could take up existing mechanics.
is pvp dead in this game?
>>1546889I would assume so, basically no one talks about it here and the last one that did was complaining about the utter state of it.
I like the LoR exclusive champs. Breathes a lot life into the world.
>>1546914shamei actually like the mechanics, alternating rounds, declaring blockers, different spell speeds, casting in combat, it's not as dumbed down as hearthstone and its direct clones.is there a pvp ccg everyone switched to or the genre itself died? i've been out of the loop for a few years.
>>1546975Not that I'm aware of, they just moved onto different games. There probably are still some who play LoR but Grapplr for instance plays TFT or LoL now.
>>1546674She's Noxus
BOY I AM SURE FUCKING GLAD FAGGIOT GAMES WASTED SLOTS ON RANDOM LITERAL WHOS INSTEAD OF ADDING ALREADY EXISTING CHAMPS TO THE GAMEYEAH I DEFINITELY WANTED BIG CHUNGUS PORO KING AND LE I CANNOT BE STOPPED HECKING DARK SOULS DRAGON IN THE GAME
>>1547147You're talking about Renata right? I haven't watched arcane.
>>1547149No, Ambessa Medarda
>>1547150Doesn't seem very champ-worthy imo. I wouldn't put it past them but champs tend to have a design that makes them stand out. Plus they're burning cash, unless the latest cash grabs have been wildly successful I would think they'd be looking at fan favourites to draw people in. Assuming league skins correlates with popularity (also age):>Lux (have 2)>MF (have)>EZ>Ahri (had)>Riven>Akali (would be new)>Vayne (have)>Cait (have)So I'd expect Ahri again, maybe Riven or Akali. Not likely to be EZ since (as I said) we've had like 3 P&Z in a row.
How the actual fuck are you suppose to beat Lissandra with Caitlyn without her 6 star??? Her units are so fucking weak with zero scaling while the enemies have a gorillion HP and summon 10+/10+ followers. Even if flashbombs cleared the entire board you barely chip at their HP with like 12 attack work of followers then next turn the flood the board again with giant followers or board wipe you or both at the same time.
>>1547685Yes, Caitlyn is a really shitty champion (yes even with her 6*) good job noticing that. It's extremely ironic that everybody thought she was going to be the most broken champ to ever come to POC while shitting on the Vi rework. Vi is unironically One Punch Man now.
>>1547685Her relic looks more important imo.We have a few weeks so I'm waiting for the 5.5* weekly to be doable, other than that I'd go Swain instead, I don't think she has much of a chance against Lissandra, what can she do if the watcher drops? Drop 60 flash bombs on it?>>1547688Cait looked mediocre and I could tell her 5* quest would be rough from the first game. Vi is still crap, just less than she used to be.
>>1547685just roll for double enfeebling + free atack item with death foil bro lolalso her relic is almost mandatory>>1547688>everybody thought she was going to be the most broken champ to ever come to POCno one said that, only she'll be fun (AKA unique) albeit mediocre
>>1547772>also her relic is almost mandatoryDon't you just love how pretty much mandatory relics are stuck behind a paywall now?
>>1547802pay up goym
tft just straight up ripped us off bros...
>>1547842What did they do?
>>1546929Jack is so kino it really highlights how bad the champ design has been for 5+ yearsThey can do it, they just won't.
>>1547886Maybe they're afraid of power creep.
>>1547895He's clearly talking about general design of LoL champs. For reference, in the last 5 years>Aurora>Smolder>Hwei>Briar>Naafiri>Milio>K'Sante>Nilah>Bel'Veth>Renata>Zeri>Vex>Akshan>Gwen>Viego>Rell>Seraphine>Samira>Yone>Lillia>Sett>Aphelios>SennaYeah there are a lot of shit designs there. Not just visually but gameplay designs either, just look at Showmaker talking about K'Sante, shit's retarded.
>>1547901I'm still waiting on another female furry champ like Kindred.
>>1547903Nigger they just released a bunny girl.
>>1547904Nah mang, that's just a ginger viera from ffxii
>>1547685Okay, you want an actual suggestion on how to beat lissandra with cait without her 6 star?If you can spare the 10 dollars, her relic is borderline mandatory.Caitlyn's relic build should be her relic, Echoing Spirit, and Stalker's Blade. Basically, we are turning Cait into a suicide bomber. You summon Cait, stalkers blade hits a thing, her strike ability plants bombs but more importantly, deals burn damage equal to the amount of traps that get triggered, then you ram her into the enemy, she dies and gets her strike ability off a second time, which lets you play another Cait to do it all over again.Yes it's slow, but not like you were gonna kill them any faster with your 2 attack followers. If you don't have Echoing Spirit or her own relic, then use a second Stalker's Blade and Grand General's Counterplan for Echoing Spirits substitute so you can at least make more Caitlyns with the fleeting Cait spell while she's on the field. THEN after all that, Enfeebling is practically mandatory so try to reset the run over and over to get that as your first power. Deathless, Scout, and Free attack are the best champion items to get on CaitIdeally your support champion is someone who can draw you cards, or help you stall or stabilize. If you can find the Remitter, cross your fingers that he offers the power that makes everything have 1 hp.Check to see if Liss has I am Inevitable and restart if she does. This is not a guaranteed win and the run will no doubt take over an hour, but it's the most reliable way to beat Liss with such a shitty champion.
>>1547906Viera are bunny girls.
>>1547908Bunny girls yes, but not "bunny" girls. Give me something like pic related. That'll fix their current champ design.
>>1547903>>1547910lmao kindred flopped for a reason and why her weeb skin is the most popular look for her
>>1547879The Yuumi and Norra design in TFT are from LoR
Aurelion Sol really is easy mode but I don't care. Starforged Gauntlets are easily the best for him.
>>1548639Spellweaver's probably better since it guarantees you get created cards.
>>1548639Spellweaver is much better what are you talking about?Aside from Sh*resies bricking your turn.
Thanks.
>>1548719Thats unironically really good though for decks that don't want to play their champion (Darius, Taliyah), or champs who are already busted and win you the game even with zero relics like Asol or Voli
>>1548808Except there's always better relics. I can only remember 1-2 champs that don't get much out of relics, but I can't even remember what champs they are.
I used to love LoR ffs.They want me to focus into the PvE content when it always was shit....They made the game to be a pvp card battler....they made a world championship and tried to push it....the PvE was a secondary thing....why switch to PvE?Why I'm going to spent money into a shittier Slay the Spire when I can play StS....Why I'm going to spent money into customization to play against an IA....Bravo Rioooot
>>1549848>why switch to PvE?Because PvP made them literally no money at any point in the history of the game. We've been over this.>Why I'm going to spent money into customizationI doubt you would, the incentive is clearly to pay to not grind.

>>1549920You have to be a fucking retard if you pay for not grinding on LoR....Get Slay the Spire, it gives a better exp and it's more challenging I don't understand why somebody should get a board skin or anything else....It's like buying skins on league and only play Coop vs IA....If the PvE was at least good I could understand it but we known the IA is pure shit....at least league had some good events like odyssey
>>1550631>>1550078500 people to make a transgender card....That's why they lose a lot of moneyGet woke get broke

>>1550902Man I played it when it first come out and it was boring as fuck....you only need 2 runs to figure the AI pattern and that's it>They aren't brokeYeah that's why they stopped the LoR support right? Money right?Only the noobs went to play PoC because they suck at pvp....If PoC it's so freaking good why the pro's left for TFT?But yeah I'm bitching because I had a great time playing pvpBut yeah enjoy a shitty PvE mode in a dying game.I'm going to play Slay the Spire in my free time.
>>1551071>Man I played it when it first come out and it was boring as fuckGood for you, no one cares. It had more play time than PvP did back when they were still focused on PvP. It actually has a monetization angle too, fucking no one bought skins/guardians/boards.>Yeah that's why they stopped the LoR support right? Money right?Why would you continue to fund a failed product? Are you retarded? In the very next sentence you talk about how the pros left to a different riot game. Riot is clearly doing quite well financially and they're still as woke as ever. When are they going broke?>I'm going to play Slay the Spire in my free time.Ok, bye.
>>1551086>It had more play time than PvPBecause noobs don't know how to play on pvpThey get angry because people spam the same shitty decks and riot never implemented a ban system. Same reason why LoL as a ban system SO PEOPLE BAN OP CHAMPS.>fucking no one bought skins/guardians/boards.And who is going to pay for less grind in a shitty PvE game? Are you retarded?

>>1551762I think Aphelios is mute, the voice is his sister.
>>1551780He's not mute, just that the funny liquid kills his voice for tulpa powers
>>1551780so they just copied sona's gimmick?tbf the last time i played league was at pykes release i think i have no idea what the new guys' lore is
If faggiot is going to come up with the most bullship poc modifiers possible they could at least unnerf teemo
>>1554878No way they buff teemo outside a 4-6*.
I abandoned this game when I couldn't get it to run on GNU/Linux.
>>1555186Why come here to say you never started playing?
>>1555186I use Ubuntu(ook ook)Open Lutris, search for "Add games" on the app, once there search Legends of Runeterra and pick first choice out of three. Install game and when the install and updating on the client itself is done just close the app from system monitor aka task manager which finishes the install. Now you have a working LoR.I have to install a fresh version every time there is an update(once a month)which takes like a couple of minutes.

new champs already?

>Ahri>HymendiggerThe relics better be good
https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-5-9-notes/>Battlepass is backInteresting
>>1564397>anti-tempo and "I rely entirely on my 5 cost champ"We've already had Ahri and I remember her being pretty bad, and Heimer is probably going to be horrible. From the looks of things she hasn't changed at all and Heimer is even worse than previously though since he's reliant on 6+ cost spells to get upgrades. He unironically looks Kindred tier at this point unless the upgrades are nuts.Ahri's relic is probably better on a 6* Yasuo.Heimer's relic isn't even a Heimer relic lmao.At least they added 3 new* adventures.Also another P&Z.
>tech allies in hand and in playIt's not even applied to tech allies you draw or create later lmao what the fuck.
>>1564602Wait never mind, it's a "have" not "grant", so it should be applied once they hit the hand/field.
>Battle pass upEOS adverted, PvE gods keep eating good
>>1564411Oh yeah alive gameIn other news, fuuuuuck 6.5* nodesI will keep Asol-ing
>>1564872Can't wait for the god awful final quests.>EOS advertedThey've released 1 new card since the dream expansion.
>>1564894>Can't wait for the god awful final quests.Kinda reminds me of the quest we got to level up 5 champs in one gameYou can always cheese it>SpoilerThe real content is PoC sweetie, any new champs added to PoC are new champs released.
>>1564898>Kinda reminds me of the quest we got to level up 5 champs in one gameAsol, just keep adding champs to his deck along a run and you'll get it eventually. If you're really struggling just put 3 of those "adventure start: add a random champion to your deck" relics on.
>>1564901Oh no I didn't struggle, that's why I said>You can always cheese itTook longer than usual to get a lot of champs offered but I did it first try
>>1540793her relic is mandatory to her gameplay unfortunately
>>1564959>don't have the relic>kill their units with normal attacks>they can't rebuild>5-10 flashbombs next turn Every time.
>>1564962in lower star difficulties sure it's manageable, but when you get to 4 stars and up it gets so ridiculous her 6 star power can barely save you, and every flashbomb miss that gets put back in the enemy deck helps a long way in letting you spam Ace in the holes.
>>1564970Jokes on you I don't have her 6*'d either. I'm probably going to be doing her 5*+ quest this week, not looking forward to it even with her 4* and lots of the nodes unlocked.
>>1564978praying to rngesus for your success anonI suggest you do a Lissandra run, save a reroll or two and go topside for the Ethereal Emitter encounter and reroll until you get the power that sets all units HP to 1that's what I did
I might buy that battlepass. Never bought anything in this game so far.>>1564588Heimer will use Bandle resources so thats no problem.
>>1564990I figure swain would be easier, sure he's more aggro but you'd have an easier time dealing with his units, Lis has some real bullshit nodes.
>>1565031depending on the price of the pass, It might be better value to buy the champion bundle with their relic instead, especially if the relic is great on multiple champions
>>1564588>Also another P&Z.But of course. Or have you people forgotten about Arcane S2?
>>1565151confirmed 1k coins
>>1565154that's not badforgot how much the relic bundles cost, already bought all of them and IIRC they're around 980? up to personal choice then if that is the case, I will lean towards the relic bundles though because you can't get them from reliquaries (for now) and some of them are leaving the shop.

>>1566325PvE gods saved this gameNow give me Ezreal and I'll consider giving them money
Any first impressions on Heimer and Ahri? From what I've seen, Ahri looks turbobusted
The only consolation is it isn't an and.>>1566365Haven't played her since old-PoC but there's no way she's even the best in her region, Yasuo looks way better.I'm looking at her deck and items and I'm seeing a whole lot of "I'm completely useless and only gain some sort of advantage as fodder for recalls". Sure she might be good at 6* but so are a lot of champions, 6* is supposed to be good due to the high investment.Shit, Ahri herself isn't even usable until mana 3 (2 damage to face aside), you drop her on turn 1 and you have no mana left to even play a dancing droplet. Then you have shit like The Maker which looks like an awesome reusable combo, until you realize 5 power is fucking nothing in PoC so you're often going to be spending 2-3 mana with no effect (in the harder matches, especially nightmare weeklies).As for Heimer, half of his constellation is dedicated to giving everything Tech (similar to Pyke with lurker) which isn't a good sign. His deck seems alright, albeit very centered around 3 and 6 mana turrets, and he looks like he's going to be a worse Jayce but it's hard to say for sure until I know what those upgrades are. At the very least his 6* looks like it'd be extremely strong if the upgrades are good enough to make him playable.
>>1566365There's a clip of a 2* lvl 16 ahri doing over 2000 damage on turn 4 so yea ahri is pretty fucking busted
>>1566427Ahri is completely different now and she's way way more aggro compared to her 1.0 PoC version. I will agree that her bonus stars are trash, but her main star powers are really really good and she scales up hard and fast. Yasuo probably is better, but honestly investing in his constellation is pretty useless cause he's already so strong at 3 or 4 stars like Morgana so may as well put the resources into Ahri or Lillia more. Heimer I also agree with he's basically keyword soup like Jayce but I think they're roughly the same in power level imo. That said I would still prefer putting bandle city resources into Vex since she actually needs it and becomes busted with high star level plus bonus stars
>>1566450Her old powers weren't bad imo.https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/The_Path_of_Champions_1.0_(Legends_of_Runeterra)/Reputation#AhriRecalling every turn was pretty good. This version doesn't ruin her tempo as badly and buffs her units a bit. Sure she can technically grow nearly infinitely but how much mana and time are you going to put into that? Plenty of champs can do that and lots can do it better, I really can't see her being better than Lillia let alone Yasuo.Maybe I'll be proven wrong idk, she just seems so slow because her entire play style is around going negative in tempo in the "win by mana 5" game mode.
>>1566427Heimer's a little better than I thought, his 6+ mana spent on spells is cumulative like Lux rather than at once like Jayce like I thought (always gets me). The fact he gets 1 spell mana back every time he summons (not plays) a unit is also really useful.As for his upgrades, his 1* upgrades so far (Teemo adventure) have been +1/0 and a keyword (impact, fearsome and brash), +3/+0, +0/+3, or +2/+2 with no keyword, and one time got +1/+1 with two keywords. He gets "improved" upgrades at 3* but I'm assuming that's only going to increase the stat buff or give more keywords or maybe give an item.I'm still not expecting him to be very good but at least he isn't Kindred.
>>1566524Every improved (3*) upgrade from a Garen run, no keywords might be repeats>x2 spirit>+0/+1 challenger>+0/+3 sharpsight>+0/+2 fearsome>+0/+3 (no keyword)>+2/+0 hallowed>+2/+0 (no keyword)>2x spirit>+1/+1 evolve>+1/+0 quick attack>+1/+0 impact>+2/+2 deep, fury, fated (I only spent 4 mana so it didn't give me multiple activations, might be a high roll or because the keywords are weak)>+1/+0 overwhelm+0/+3 (no keyword, can't be a repeat)>2x spirit>+3/+0 (no keyword)>+1/+1 evolve>+1/+1 (no keyword)>+1/+0 impact>+2/+2 tough, hallowed (activated twice with 1 card)>+0/+3 (no keyword)They aren't all that great unless you high roll but it's essentially an everywhere buff to most of the cards you're dropping so they aren't bad, I would assume a fully upgraded 6* Heimer would feel real nice starting with 3 of them, but for an unupgraded Heimer it's kinda meh, you're spending 6 mana for 1 buff and need techs, I was only able to get a bunch of upgrades on a bunch of techs because Garen's shit, even getting to 5 mana for Heimer would be difficult in some matches.
>>1566573Two more, >lifesteal>+0/+3 formidableI bet the formidable one's going to cause someone to lose a run.
>>1566578>most of herm's tech are X/1slol yeah, definitely
>>1566578>formidableRIOT
>>1566881It's not even just the starting stats, formidable just makes it hard to play. Sure your 14/10 might survive the attack or block but now he's a 14/4 and is practically useless.
>>1566325its gonna be Arcane themed so Warwick, Singed, Ambessa, Urgot. >>1566365Ahri Teemo is fun. CQEACAIEBAAQEAQFAEBQECIBAQBA6AIFAICACBQCAUBACAQBG4CAKCUYAGSADNAB34AQEAIBAIMACBICA4AA

Now that's a good upgrade.
>>1567542OH MY SCIENCE
>>1567910*OH MY SCIENCE!!! II
>>1567542How does this card work though, is it on play?
>>1567922That card activates when it's summoned or if it's already on the field.
>>1567928Intersting. But then again, I doubt you will get to use ephemeral dupes that often with a full board
Who are the strongest champs without constellations so far?Nid, Yi, who else?
>>1568522I dunno about Yi, sure he can otk pretty easily thanks to recycling his champ spell but he's super vulnerable to removal and he needs tons of mana.But aside from who you mentionedAsol (obviously).Diana, she's like Yi except with better units, it isn't GG when she isn't drawn.Jhin, his free spell is amazing.Teemo, though he's obviously much weaker than he used to be.Maybe also Annie, because face damage is always good, but she'd struggle with big units.I'd also include Eve/Illaoi but they're a little too inconsistent.
>>1568532Yi is obscene dude, he needs some mana cost reduction on spells and wins turn 1 every time thanks to his champ spell drawing itselfOh yeah diana is good and more reliable
>>1568522Leblanc is still pretty bustedGaren and Elder Drag can handle the Asol challenge but I've never tried them on the higher difficulties
5*s are cancer incarnate, they're genuinely unfun from start to finish even on the most broken champs. I really wish they'd stop making quests to defeat them with new champs.>Swain's individual nodes are much harder, forced to deal with 3 2/8's and some other big unit immediately>Liss has hard nodes but Liss herself is the most bullshit node in the game, you start 3 mana behind, she has nothing but huge units, levels on turn 2, has 99 nexus health (with tough), has some of the best board-wide removal in the game AND has a 120/180 or whatever it is watcher, btw you don't get powers at checkpoints so you're entirely reliant on items and the rare smooth soloistIf anything's going to make me quit this game it's forcing me to fight Liss every month.
>>1569461you can cheese Liss on almost any champ by doing this>>1564990you just need to survive the encounters on the way
>prototype porobot isn't techffs
>>1569469Thanks for the suggestion, still took a revive because Liss naturally drew 4 ice shards and wiped my board each time.
Based based basedThe game got into a loop of error since this guy shouldn't have been damaged, but got stunned anyway
>>1570267It's probably treated the same way as 1 damage on tough, that'll count as damage.
>>1570288I know, but I thought we were over setting the rules right after the disintegrate debacle?
>>1570296Wasn't that the outcome of the disintegrate debacle though?
>>1570303Well the resolution was No HP lost = Doesn't countI suposse it would fuck over endurance talents when you have barrier and tough but at least it would be consistent
>>1570309I suppose scargrounds countered with a "fuck you stop fucking with my deck" because units with tough absolutely can get bonuses when hit with a 1 damage spell/unit.
>legion veteran is a fag, his description talks about his husband healing himJesus how many hidden poofs are there?
>>1571909Slowpoke momentDoesn't matter btw, china got riot on a leash after all.
There's a science upgrade that gives (instead of grants) your techs every keyword.
>>1574057One of them gives you vulnerable wtfAlso, looks like more cage match bullshit for 6.5*, and 5.5* has real interesting modifiers.
Ok so I think I get how to play Heimer now.>Get Sorcery (VERY IMPORTANT)>Get a duplicate for slow spells>Get a duplicate on Epic Scraptraption>Get memory game if you can>Put a katamari song of your choice, ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WXsGDSRT3k>Win
>>1576763He's pretty slow but he's oddly manageable compared to other slow decks. Like Jayce (the obvious comparison) is completely reliant on rolling lifesteal from time to time because of the amount of mana he has to save/use for spells but Heimer can still put blockers on the board without shitting up next turns mana. His spells are a lot more flexible too, just wish he started with that 0+ cost turret spell.But I haven't beaten Asol on him yet and I rolled super hard for Kaisa, I saw like 4 legendaries in a single run.I'm surprised how good they made a theoretically bad PoC champ without going full retard and forcing it.
>>1576777Well they went hard on the SCIENCE! upgrades so there's a lot of dedication there...ignoring formidable, of course.
>do the 6.5*>brick super hard before mid boss>howling abyss mid boss gets Darius (36/24) with "play: free attack" on my turn>it's like turn 3, can't kill them because of cage match>can't remove Darius and they have a challenger (Sett) for my only high health unit so I loseSo fun.

>>1583580I took Norra and opened with the "Game start: Summon 2 Armed Gearheads" power so every game started with 3 (sometimes 4) 6/5 scout Dravens.
Careful with the 5.5*, Irelia is the midboss, she starts with 4 standard mana and 1 spell mana because Irelia is summoned so she can blade dance a bunch immediately. >first attempt, 10/20 is Coastal Defenders>bad hand but drop a unit>Defiant Dance recalls it and blade dances (with Coastal Defenders growing)>it's already over, redo>second attempt, 10/20 is fucking Zinneia>they drop 2 Ribbon Dancers>I have less nexus health than they do after turn 1>I only win because I managed to level Veigo turn 1 and steal Zinneia
>>1583706Irelia and blade dance unironically ruined LoR
Holy shiiiiiiitShout out to my nigga Maokai winning me the challenge, this node is diabolical
>>1584195>set player units to 1/1>round start deal 1>takes asol for some reasonLooks like an easy node. A little bit of effort sure but it doesn't look all that hard if you take a champ that scales.
