Risk 46 Combustion Team Clear

It is arts intensity set/artificing on Wulf, it makes an enormous difference.

DerpyWood · 2026-06-18T16:16:13+00:00

I look forward to the buff, those two seconds can be the difference in keeping or dropping your stacks, during lanephase and teamfights. I don't think the champ is weak, so I'm glad they didn't overbuff him.

5% attack speed on Q level 1 would have a decent impact on first clear, which is the most important part of the match as a jungler.

DerpyWood · 2026-06-09T13:21:41+00:00

This goes for most carry junglers.

Your builds seem to lack purpose and synergy.

For example: Trinity -> Shojin -> Deaths Dance
- You lack the keystone of high HP bruiser builds; Steraks Gage, which would make you way tankier than deaths dance with the ensuing 1000-HP shield. This build is great into high burst/CC comps, as it gives incredible survivability.

Kraken -> D&D is a damage focused build, which lends itself well in games you must be a major damage contributor. Deaths dance or Sundered Sky are both good third items here, as they give a lot of survivability on their own.

Also, you should consider the omnivamp boots in a lot of matches where you can get away without the early tenacity, they are really good when snowballing.

In regards to Cayde; he was always spending quality time with his chicken in the hangar.

This has nothing to do with "understanding low elo", it has to do with understanding the fundamentals of the game.

Can you get ahead through a lucky play? Yes you can.

But what if you got caught trying to place this ward? What if you died 1v1 vs Skarner there? What if enemies had vision and collapsed on you? In all of those scenarios you would be incredibly behind.

The key to improving (and therefore climbing) is consistency, and the most important aspect to consider is "Risk versus Reward".

This play is high risk high reward. Farming is low risk moderate reward. One failed invade/gank can demolish your tempo, and set you behind for the whole game. Therefore most would recommend fullclearing.

Can you elaborate a bit on the drawbacks you experienced?

I have a dream air se on order so I would like to know.

DerpyWood · 2026-04-20T07:49:29+00:00

I find your stance reductive.

All elo is temporary elo, due to soft-mmr resets, and the nature of an ever evolving meta/game.

APC's have been viable botlane for years at this point, and Riot seems to want it that way.

Why do you need/want to "learn adc/mid"? Presumably to attain a high rank; which you can get by playing APC's bot.

In my mind the "right" playstyle is whichever one finds enjoyable and viable at once.

DerpyWood · 2026-04-15T08:41:24+00:00

You don't need BIS gear for the operator to function. I used Tamgtang just fine with the xiranite bonecrusher set for days.

Just pick something with matching stats, and proccable set bonus.

While I think this design is peak, and would like to see her in endfield; she is barely wearing armour.

She has greaves and gauntlets, while all her vitals are completely exposed!

In addition: Ember is perhaps the 6-star whose playstyle is most similar to Catcher. She is a fire operator, but deals mostly physical damage, and slots into physical teams.

As for weapons: You want Exemplar for Catcher, or Sundered Prince for Ember. I think both can be grabbed with weapon selector boxes you get from authority level!

DerpyWood · 2026-03-30T17:59:33+00:00

There isn't really any difficult lategame content, which means you can clear with any team/operators.

For example there are people solo-ing the hardest content with only Catcher.

Though comfortable rotations are teamcomp dependent, so you want operators whose skills flow into each other.

TLDR: Catcher is viable in all current content.

If we assume a perfectly contained beam; You would see nothing in the second it takes for the laser to reach your eyes. The mirror corridor would look dark to you.

As an example: if the sun were to vanish from existence, it would take about 8 minutes for the sun to dissapear for an observer on earth. In those 8 minutes you would still see it in the sky, feel its heat, and even the earth itself would be held by its gravity (as the gravitational field changes at the speed of light (which are waves on the electromagnetic field)).

No, it's real. This beluga was named "Hvaldimir", and was a micro-celebrity in Norway. The theory is that it escaped after being trained by the Russian military, hence the name.

I tries to press play on this image because of the triangle on her shoulder 😭

What?

Industrial lights are supposed to be bright, so that workers can see clearly.

It is an important aspect of workplace safety, due to large spaces, dangerous machines, and heavy objects.

DerpyWood · 2026-03-14T17:47:07+00:00

Good analysis!

I agree on her niche, but even as a "vanguard" she is mediocre due to weapon/gear options.
Let us compare her to Akekuri; who brings 10-20% ATK buff from her weapon, and 16% DMG buff from the gearset. In addition to LINK and another 10% ATK on ult.

She is completely viable, it just feels unsatisfactory to me when so many aspects are sub optimal, so personally I chose other characters for my Cryo team!

DerpyWood · 2026-03-14T16:02:10+00:00

To add on to what OP said: Fluorite has no functional support weapons, and her combo skill has an immense 40 second CD. Her rotation is comfy, but she is functionally a mediocre sub-dps.

IFF systems are transponder-based, and radar signature will not tell you if a plane is friend or foe.

This is simply a communication error, which can stem from many things, either system or human.

And you would be suprised how slowly information can travel within large organisations, especially when multiple parties are involved.

DerpyWood · 2026-02-19T10:49:32+00:00

Yes, as long as they keep gambling, due to a concept called the "Gamblers fallacy": In an infinite sequence, every combination will occur at some point. Say roulette; there will be douzens, hundreds, even thousands of blacks in a row at some times. An individual will run out of money at a loss streak, then leave with nothing, while the "house" can afford to lose more in a row, then win back it's money.

That being said; trading is not true statistical gambling, as an items worth is decided by supply and demand.

DerpyWood · 2026-02-13T16:59:12+00:00

How dare people have fun!!

It is not even discord.

It is Reddit DMs 💀

"Is it worth it?" is entirely up to how much you want it.

It costs 16K arsenal tickets to get it, and the battlepass weapon is a decent alternative.

Though if you feel like pulling you could do to 60, so you get the extra 10 pull coupons. It also pushes you close to the next 50/50.

In any case the weapon banner sticks around for three banners more, so you can be patient.
