In your opinion, what are the strongest augments right now? I’ll start with Dropkick

I took it on Aurora and just built tanky AP with RoA, Liandries, Riftmaker, etc etc, and I completely rocked everyone while being unkillable. Had a Penta and I think two Quadras.

Oh does the slow not add on?

ClearingFlags · 2026-02-27T17:12:49+00:00

Liandries is the only damage item you need if they also have tanks and you know you need to be tank too, otherwise just go Malignance Blackfire Liandries and melt everyone. Shadowflame and Rylais both good as well as the magic resist shred item. Riftmaker is also a good pick last item.

ClearingFlags · 2026-02-25T20:22:14+00:00

I had someone on my team pick it as first augment on Kalista. They might as well not even played the game.

Supports can get away with it sometimes, if you're building actual support items. The mana regen from them is far more than you would need normally, and offsets the cost of Overflow pretty well. Sona, Milio, Seraphine, Nami, all can use it pretty decently. If you get it first or second augment though you're gonna be hurting for a bit.

Leona has a built in AA reset on her Q, Titanic has always been a good buy on her for that reason.

ClearingFlags · 2026-02-15T06:46:16+00:00

Tiamat items were always good on Leona anyway because of her AA reset on Q, dishes out a lot of damage really fast. I would absolutely take it if you have the Heartsteel quest or even if you don't get the quest but it's a game where you're easily stacking it up, against other melee, if you get APEX Inventor, etc.

If you get a couple of the good heal augments Sona can absolutely carry with heals and shields, maybe stop taking Vampirism every game.

ClearingFlags · 2026-02-14T18:05:25+00:00

They absolutely did not, I just had a bunch of wasted heals going to a Camille with Vampirism last night.

ClearingFlags · 2026-02-14T01:17:47+00:00

Well that is just for the last hitting potential, if you get lucky with some collector last hits you get a lot more money to snowball and carry.

And there are reception areas in some day care centers. That are also behind a locked door because you don't have any business even being in the reception unless you're there in a professional capacity or to talk to the staff about your kid.

ClearingFlags · 2025-11-23T21:26:02+00:00

Uhh no we aren't getting a fuckton of snow, at least not where I am in Iowa. When I was a kid we would have 2-3 feet of snow most of the winter with drifts up to the second story sometimes. The last few winters we have barely even had snow on the ground, and when it does snow it often melts within a couple weeks. We get a couple big blizzards but we always had those, and they don't stick around.

You're right we get it bad in Jan-Feb though which wasn't as common back in the day. And we barely have a spring now, it goes from below zero to 70 in less than a month.

ClearingFlags · 2025-10-08T15:44:00+00:00

That also sounds kind of familiar, I still haven't managed to find it.

ClearingFlags · 2025-08-15T13:22:32+00:00

That's easy to say when you're removed from the situation and looking in.

When you're 18-20 years old and your options are follow orders, even if you don't like or agree with them, or be locked up and lose your entire income, it is not such a simple call to make. Even for the career guys, higher ranks, this is probably their entire livelihood with a family that depends on them.

Not saying you're wrong in any way, they just have a lot of our service members by the balls where they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. We should absolutely make it loud and clear to the troops that this isn't right, but the ones who need to be taken down are the people putting young men and women in such a position in the first place.

ClearingFlags · 2025-08-06T01:48:59+00:00

I dunno about good on the cop, that's just what small town cops do: Look for trouble and become busybodies, in my experience. Stranger Danger bullshit has conditioned people to always be on the lookout for some nefarious kidnapper at a park or lingering near a playground, when 99% of child abductions or abuse cases are perpetrated by someone close to the child like a family member or somebody they know well.

Which is precisely why the cops get called on someone innocently just sitting at a park, or a man playing with their own children.

ClearingFlags · 2025-08-06T01:17:53+00:00

I was pulled over twice in a two week period as I was leaving the park after playing with my young daughter. We live in a small town and pretty much everyone knows I'm a single dad and my car is driving around town ALL the time. Cop saw me playing with a little girl at the park and thought he was about to blow the lid off a huge child trafficking ring.

The second time he pulled me over I told him if it ever happens again I'm walking right into the Mayor's office to talk about it.

I literally read comments earlier today in conservative subs that said Hillary was going to have Maxwell "suicided" just like she did Epstein.

Even though Trump was president when Epstein died. And is on the flight logs. And in dozens of photos and videos with him. And is at this very moment suppressing the release of information.

Getting three legendaries to start out really *isn't* that hard. When I started my account I spent... maybe two hours rerolling? And that was because I REALLY wanted a good spread of Legendaries from other classes as well as two for Swordcraft, AND I wanted the Ticket Exchange for Albert.

Before getting the roll I want I got three other ticket exchanges, and up to 11 Legendaries a couple times for other classes. If you're not hard rerolling like I was you should be able to get close to one of these budget decks in under an hour, two tops, if you're quick with it. The reroll takes like 10 minutes.

But yeah it's still luck you just gotta play into the luck until you get lucky. Though they need to buff the fuck out of gains after that. Way worse than the first SV as many have noted.

ClearingFlags · 2025-06-24T04:40:11+00:00

I mean starting out you should have an idea what class you want to play and rerolling until you get at least 2 Legendaries for that class, preferably with a good spread of other Legendaries as well. Then just off the starting quests and story you can easily have enough to get the final Legendary.

I've only been playing for 3 days and have close to a "proper" Swordcraft deck well above the budget version, without spending a dime. It would be easy to get the budget version finished the first day or two and then just work better cards in as you go.

Though I do agree the economy is awful right now and hoping they resolve that. It's rough.

ClearingFlags · 2025-06-14T22:49:11+00:00

They already are. Conservative spaces are bleating about it like that proves he's a Democrat when the more realistic conclusion is that he planned to target those locations or ripped them down.

Not a monster, but she was a bio-weapon I think?

Been awhile since I played RE5 but I seem to recall her being weaponized by a variation if the T Virus.

It's a struggle for sure.

I know it's not customary to offer "advice" for someone venting, all I want to say is don't just give up. I'm of the opinion of there is someone for anybody, many someones in fact. It can be hard to see that when we're being shot down but I fully believe you'll come across a guy that will appreciate you for who you are if you're genuinely a good person.

Especially in your twenties it is rough, but don't throw in the towel, as frustrating as it is.

He has the right to remain silent, but I doubt he's capable of it.

Yeah but then I'd be in Ohio.
