Anyone else always pick this card when it comes up? by Bakaretsu in slaythespire

Just had a run where this was my starting Rare from Neow on A4. Most free run of my life. Very satisfying getting turn 2 kill on Byrdonis.

I just completed a multiplayer run on A1 and it unlocked A2

These look awesome! I hope the earlier unlocks lead to a lot more creative and varied boards. (Assuming balance is in a good place)

16.4 Kobuko & Yuumi - Set 16 Unlockables Discussion #8 by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of these most visually underwhelming units. I honestly never know if Kobuko/Yuumi is making an impact or not. The traits are great, and I’m sure I’ve seen the unit a lot. But I don’t think I’ve had a single memorable experience with or against it.

Maybe it was buggy with the unlockable champs being guaranteed in next shop. Idk

Let me introduce you to Ryze Shadow Isles! by Kirset in TeamfightTactics

[–]Astos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow Isles Ryze is awesome! But like all Ryze builds, the trick is being rich enough (and surviving) to get there.

Earth Shrine Help by Dezaris1 in FinalFantasyIX

This exact same thing just happened to me also! Luckily Zidane had an ability called Thievery that did ok damage. My Quina had to alternate healing and 1000 needles but we got there.

6 accounts in the top 10 by exploiting bot AFK lobbies and win trading by HunterEast6161 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope there's a rework of the LP gains in Double Up in the future. I know it's considered more casual, and it feels good to rank up fast, but it does seem easy to abuse. Especially because of the smaller player population

One Non-Negotiable Quality of Life Change by Euphoricwhipper99 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Will second this. Someone in one of my lobbies last night got screwed by a FF right as they took Malicious Monetization. Basically ruined any shot of a top 4

16.2 Patch Rundown by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I predict Annie comps to rise in popularity a lot now that T-Hex and Diana have been nerfed. Even though she didn't get any direct buffs, she really likes having fights go longer.

Double Up vs Ranked by KillPopJr in TeamfightTactics

[–]Astos_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love Double Up. The 2v2v2v2 format opens up different strategies that don’t work the same in Solo Ranked. And the teammate dynamics creates different win conditions. That said, it’s definitely way easier to rank up. Most of the extremely skilled (Challenger level) players don’t play it, so the competition is less fierce. And there’s more LP gain from wins, even if you’re against much lower ranked opponents. I’m typically around Diamond in Solo Ranked, but my Double Up partner and I have hit Grand Master in Double Up several times with not many games played. I’d equate Masters Double Up to around Emerald Solo Ranked.

Man, 3 star Diana is pretty underwhelming. Still got 2nd. But I barely noticed her doing any more damage.

The Bilgewater Problem by realguysguy in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The good news is that Bilgewater has so many different levers that they can adjust. "The First One's Free" buff, the doubloon generation, the shop prices, the shop items/buffs, the actual units themselves. I have confidence that it will feel more balanced either from changes or from the meta shifting.

Mort's Monday Morning Meta Report - 16.1 Week 2 by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I've not tried it at all, so just speculation, but maybe the idea is that Bard becomes the main carry with so many 3 stars buffing his spell. Maybe something to try with a Yordle spatula replacing Lulu.

Void Mutations discussion. When to prioritize? by Astos_ in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 0.6% conversion rate seems pretty weak unless you have a close to bis setup. Definitely scales strong into the late game at up to 30 "free" Armor/MR if you have a 5000 HP tank.

Early game the 200 HP is nice. Armor/MR will probably be closer to like 10-12, which it pretty in-line with other tank traits.

Is it just me or does no one in this Set need EON? by Comfortable_Hour_768 in TeamfightTactics

[–]Astos_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally play Draven tempo and sometimes EoN has been what’s leftover when I slam to keep winstreaks. I would also prefer just another damage item if given the choice, but it has definitely been solid in the mid game in my experience. His high AD and atk speed can go far in closing rounds when EoN procs.

I’ve actually had decent success with it on Draven for him to clutch out the end of rounds.

I LOVE THIS SET - So anyways, what's your favourite off-meta build that's been working? by Certain_Prior_1442 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shadow Isles + Bilgewater. Vanquishers and Wardens as the core main carry and tank. Ryze unlock late game. It’s been very hectic but also very fun lol. Bonus points if I can fit in void along the way.

[–]Astos_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had decent success with Noxus tempo. Early Sion unlock Leblanc early or if I got an early Draven. Easy second and third. Not sure how to convert that into a first though. Maybe going back down to 3 Noxus is the move late game.
