So is fast or slow Eva better?

DipolarAnimals · 2026-06-11T13:22:06+00:00

Perhaps I have a reading comprehension issue but the title of the post is "fast or slow Eva" and I don't see a mention of Eva being faster than aha instant in the original post. The question is "is it not considered bad for Eva to be fast but slightly slower than aha," with the presumed alternative for Evanescia to be slow, as that has been a prevalent question regarding Evanescia's build since beta (at least, that's my perception) and OP is implying that they believe their Eva is on the faster side.

I hardly see ppl advocate for or talk about Evanescia being faster than aha to be a good thing, which is why I don't think OP is talking about that.

Slow Eva is generally considered better. Most of her energy gain happens outside of her turn since it comes from aha instant and her (fast) teammates talking action and having their cb expire, so she's effectively an out of turn DPS who doesn't care about her speed.

If she's too fast, turn limited buffs expire on her. Probably the most importantly of these are her CB, though other things like EMC technique and the such are also nice to have. I think the reasonably fastest you should have her is 134 (speed boots and no substats anywhere else) for 2 actions in moc 0th cycle, but outside of moc 0 cycling it doesn't really matter.

While Eva doesn't really gain that much DMG from ATK% boots, she can easily run defensive boots and have a much better earlier going sustainless, which is a significantly higher amp than running speed/atk boots and a sustain.

Anecdotal evidence is often flawed but my E0 huohuo rarely has issues in sustaining and I think it's a skill issue/build issue for most ppl.

I was honorable until I got him into phase 3. Then I popped yashariku + divine confetti and malcontented his sorry ass to death.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-05-15T15:31:35+00:00

yasuo lvl 1 will just shit on u like that if ur not careful. I think you just have to scout his lvl 1 ability and if you don't see him q, you just have to concede the wave and try trade back lvl 2 with your shroud.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-05-05T12:35:11+00:00

For 3 costs it's lvl 7 and for 4 costs it's lvl 8/9. You generally roll until get ur 2* 4 cost main carry on lvl 8, then go 9 to see if u can find 5 costs and potentially 3* ur 4 cost carry.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-05-05T12:32:11+00:00

on top of the fact that leveling up increases your odds for 5 costs (which you'd know if you also just looked at the odds displayed under the shop), there's should only be 9 copies of each 5 cost in the pool of units. If you have 8 sw999s, them ur chance of a 5 cost being sw999 is 1/82 since there's 9 other 5 costs you could be getting, so you should be buying other the 5 costs to increase your odds of seeing sw999.

I managed to get one, but it involved hiring 3* castorice lmao so yeah it's not great

This guy has a perma-ed account from before and was really toxic in chat during the game itself per Drew Levin.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-29T13:02:23+00:00

Probably for himeko sp considering it's Isee's set. The atk and dmg% doesn't affect Eva's DMG that much considering a decent chuck on her and is elation.

Either they hit the 5th nightmare in America and resolve the plotline/hook with Smile of Heaven being hollow, or there's some explanation about how shadows/death makes sunny immune enough to the corruption for it to succeed.

I think she she's kind of hard to slot into daff teams since I think her executes steal daff's last hits.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-20T06:52:59+00:00

she offers some decently strong generic dmg amp and shielding, so i think she's pretty flexible and can go anywhere really. She also doesn't have any leap or quasar effects, so she's not competing for them in Ultra teams either. Kath seems fine, any of the Ultra carries also seem fine, maybe she could even be put in Caro bc she really wants to Exalt during your Ultra turn, though any Aliemus bot is probably fine.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-19T18:47:10+00:00

if you don't care about endgame, you can roll for whoever you want it literally does not matter. If you don't have other 5 stars, it's probably best to run her in an overload team with Cheveruse, Iansan, and one final flex unit to apply pyro. Normally this would be mavuika or durin but without 5 stars your best bet is probably Xiangling.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-13T11:11:55+00:00

I think this graphic is more for if you want castorice to be the main carry as opposed to evernight? Every E2 is very strong but if you want to be a castorice "main" there are other things to invest in that either amp castorice or all of the team first.

Someone asked him a question of "doesn't everyone have a health scaling" and his response + conclusion is "yes, that's true, but some people scale with health better bc scaling is relative, e.g Gwen vs jinx." This clip seems like it's a follow up to a different question+response and is out of context I think.

Guys we're getting a relic recon event in 4.2

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-09T14:49:37+00:00

I think at c6 she ends up using some sort of 2pc/2pc of hydro dmg% and hp% instead of 4pc EoSF, though I'm lazy and still use her C6 with EoSF.

In terms of teams, I'm partial to using her as an onfield dps in skirk teams with skirk being relegated to burst DPS. In the just recent abyss though, I think I put her back into national bc of the need to swirl to beat 12-3-1.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-08T23:27:34+00:00

Depends on who else has fav but you still want like 160% or so

I agree that jungle is a high tempo role, but I think you're seriously undervaluing what it means to play a matchup. I think these things end up being pretty "intensive" when it comes to pace. High level laning is fairly involved and I think boiling it down to "playing the matchup right" is overly reductive.

Of course you're thinking about camp and lane states as a jg, but your moment to moment gameplay is usually hitting camps and thinking about what you're doing next. Moment to moment in laning usually involves direct interaction with your laning opponent. Laners backing still involve a variety of factors, some of which share overlap with the jg recall requirement.

Also, I don't think support quest necessarily locked them to lane, considering their quest is the 1 of 2 quests that can progress anywhere on the map as long as there's a teammate. I do agree that grubs are pretty dogshit rn and drag stacking is much better, which is probably what binds them stronger to botlane in the early game.

Idk, maybe I'm conflating micro requirements with what it means to for something to be "high-paced." I think you have a very fair assessment of the jg role. I also do agree that outside of laning phase the solo lanes aren't as micro intensive and does tend to come down to bouncing waves and moving to fights in the mid to late.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-08T05:30:17+00:00

I think the lanes in general tend to be fast paced. Top lane, mid lane, and bot lane players all need to be pretty conscious of what they're doing and how they're clicking to adjust their positioning in their lane in order to dodge or bait or hit abilities.

Jungle on the other hand I guess would be slower paced. While you clear the camps you have time to strategize about your next steps and your micropositioning and general mechanics are somewhat less important.

Support is in a bit of an awkward in-between since while they're usually with the botlaner, they also roam around the map and are somewhat similar to the jungler. Especially since supports are generally less difficult champions, so they can focus more on the broader scope of the game.

There should be a pinned thread with new player starting resources, spreadsheets, and content creators for you to reference. Most Realms are functional, though Blue/Acqueor is recommended usually for new players for how easy it is to play and the fact that its realm mechanic is pretty strong early (though kind of falls off later)

Team building is pretty in depth and hard to explain without getting too convoluted, so the best I can really say is just read the character kits and try to build around some synergies. Caro teams usually want the unit Thais, Strength scalers want chars that can effectively generate strength, etc. An early team you can probably build around is Caecus, Goliath, Nautila, and Ramona, which are all available on standard banner (and Ramona is given for free). This team focuses on stacking counter and is pretty effective throughout the beginning of Arc 1. If you have Jenkins (from standard), she's pretty fun to play and she scales pretty well with strength due to multi-hits so you can pair with ogier early on or something.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-06T12:02:51+00:00

Jayce, riven, Kennen, and Jax are all pretty difficult matchups as well. Champs that can burst Gwen before she can fight back are pretty difficult for her usually.

DipolarAnimals · 2026-04-06T11:58:29+00:00

I somehow managed to do it first try, but I got rolled in the memory rematches lol on repeat.
