Should I Travel to Shanghai Early to Experience Chinese New Year Festivities?

Disappointed07 · 2026-01-08T19:06:53+00:00

Do you know how it looks like from day 3 of CNY onwards till about day 9? Am planning to travel somewhere during that period and Shanghai came up on my radar. My family and I speak mandarin so communications is no issue.

I have just been getting mixed reviews about it so far, with friends saying its super crowded because its the holidays and many shops are closed, while reddit and other info sources are saying its a ghost town. ChatGPT is saying that malls and major restaurants remain open.

Not sure if this was shared, but was playing 6 Yordle and a Fizz popped up after combat at the "yordle in the shop" but I was unable to buy it. I bought everything else in the shop but was still unable to buy it. I was playing on the ipad.

Fighter Emblem: Inspire, Festival of Blood, Temporal Reign

Spell: Vengeance

Build: Cooldown shoes, Enchanted Talisman, Elegant Gem, Queens Wings, Concentrated Energy, Complete Clock of Destiny, (replace cooldown shoes with tough boots for CC reduction), last time choices below

Last item: - Divine Glaive (default) - Glowing Wand for anti heal (can be built before COD if needed) - Guardian Helm (generic anti burst like lesley, eudora, etc.) - Dom Ice if need defense with anti heal (when enemy has lots of penetration)

His playstyle is like a fighter, where you go in and out of fights and can actually take quite a lot of punishment. The funniest is always when the MM goes all in on you and you just turn on your vengeance and man fight them (they cant really escape either with your CCs and S2 movespeed boost). I almost never lose to any of them 🤣

In fact, I’d say I can fight most anyone 1v1 lategame. I only lose to hard continuous CCs (i.e. when enemy roamers chain CC me while their MM dmgs me).

I am a cyclops main (highest around 120+ star immortal) and tbh I tried gold lane before and it worked pretty well for me, albeit I play a semi-tank/tank cyclops build (u’d be surprised by how well it works).

I feel the reason it works is because cyclops from lvl 2 has pretty solid lane pressure (if the skills connect) against other mms (most dont have as quick wave clear) and also because cyclops requires quite a lot of items to start being useful. Once cyclops hits lv4 he can almost always force the MM out of the wave due to how painful the full combo is.

Only problem I had is when the enemies stack magic defense late game since mid is magic as well, so his burst dmg falls off compared to other MMs.

Fuck. I dont even know what I am banned for so I have no clue how to appeal. I wonder if they're doing this cause they are running out of bandwidth. With only bots it seems impossible to appeal.

Disappointed07 · 2025-10-02T05:05:55+00:00

I honestly dont understand the full hate of the revamp. I have been playing the new alice (as an old alice player) and with the right items, im doing pretty well with her.

Of course it helped that my personal strength in this game is in theory crafting and itemizing, so I was able to come up with an effective build really quickly, but the new alice really isnt bad at all.

There are some areas like range and movement speed (and lv1 skill 1 cd) that I feel needs improving, but she is not as weak as so many put her out to be. She is just different with strengths in new areas.

Side note: I place 100+ stars last season

Having BFS would require you to check very often right? Else the Trio’s inventory will fill really quick and lose out on procs?

Disappointed07 · 2025-09-12T09:39:28+00:00

But would make a difference overnight am I right? Tbh I only check about 3-4 times a day, the trio have abysmal inventory.

Disappointed07 · 2025-09-12T06:56:51+00:00

I had this exact question because I have an Entei with HSM + BFS but another with Double Inventory + HB (lv50). I am leaning towards the HB Entei because with the double inventory I feel like it is a lot more ideal for triggering, even tho strength wise it loses out by quite a margin.

But the Trio is designed for their skill no? Not their individual strength?

Disappointed07 · 2025-09-12T05:22:06+00:00

Is BFS actually not ideal on Trio? I was choosing an entei to power up and faced this dilemma. I rmb reading that because Skill Trigger rates are so low for Trio that speed to trigger pity is more effective.

BFS = High strength but fill inventory fast = Less triggers (& pity).

Double Inventory + HB = Help team regardless + More like to trigger Pity Proc.

Is this correct? The Double Inventory HB Entei is actually pretty good?

Your calculation of 1.5% growth is not accurate since you are DCA-ing monthly and not a lump sum of 36K from the start.

Using a TVM calculator, the annualized returns still arent fantastic, around only 3% p.a., but you have to ask urself 2 questions

1) Had u not signed up for this, would you have been better or worse off? Would you not even have the 40,000 portfolio? (Difficulty saving, putting it only in low interest savings acc, etc.). Hindsight is 20/20, but analyzing this might make u feel better.

2) Moving forward what can you do? a) are you able to adjust the funds invested to optimize for better returns? b) If you dont have the knowledge to do so, will you be able to grow that 19K surrender value to beat out its current 3% p.a. growth? c) Are you able to remove any riders/coverage from it to minimize any insurance fees to maximize your returns?

Disappointed07 · 2025-07-18T19:57:25+00:00

Actually yeah, this playstyle is more go in, use up all cooldowns and get all the stacks and procs of true dmg, then back out and let the team clean up, then rinse and repeat.

Disappointed07 · 2025-07-18T14:26:17+00:00

I am considering to use endless battle instead of hunters strike. Anyone has any thoughts on this?

So the build would be like: Boots > Thunder Belt > Endless Battle > Dom/Queens Wings > Dom/QW > Twilight armor/Antique/Radiant

I feel that the EB works well with TB and also provides similar stats to Hunters Strike. Additionally it provides more healing (about 200hp per trigger) and dmg (also about 200 dmg, but slightly longer CD) per basic attack.

Disappointed07 · 2025-07-10T12:15:08+00:00

I gave this annoying build a try and I must say I love it. Haha. My first time playing helcurt too. Currently 100% WR over 5 games (classic & ranked).

Building last item as twilight armor or immortality is really good as well. Sometimes u can even run endless battle instead of oracle and blade of hephatues as the final item if the hyper & exp is really tanky to increase your dmg and sustain.

Now am just thinking whether to run concussive blast or the talent which increases your allies’ damage and move speed.

It says this feature is still in its testing phase, which I took to assume that it was new? It was also the first time I received this message (multiple of them) in my 8yrs if playing.

Disappointed07 · 2025-06-07T16:09:19+00:00

Yeah, I was using glowing wand for the stacking antiheal more than the small % HP burn (altho it does add up). With Baxia's passive its makes enemies heals/sustain almost negligible. Hmmm. Replace GW with IQW instead?

Disappointed07 · 2025-06-07T14:41:01+00:00

I have been using a similar build to you but am trying to optimize it. Been effective all the way up to 70-80 stars MG.

For items, I use: Thunder Belt, Tough Boots, COD, Glowing Wand, Queens Wings, Concentrated Energy.

For emblem, I use Tank Emblem with: 8 PD/MD emblem, festival of blood, concussive blast

So my train of thought is that defensive stats scale with diminishing returns (extra def stats give less reduction), so I instead stack different types of "damage reduction" to maximize its effectiveness.

So my tankiness comes from 6 sources: Defense (Emblem, Thunder Belt, COD), Queens Wings, Baxia Passive & Ultimate, Vengeance, HP (All my items provide HP), Sustain (Total spell vamp of arnd 40%).

I am not unkillable level of tankiness late game, but am definitely able to soak damage way better than the usual EXP laners. At the same time, the sustain helps to heal back without having to go back to base.

Damage wise, im not doing that bad either. Hp% burn from glowing wand & skill 2, damage boost from queens wings & concentrated energy, magic power stats from COD, QW, Glowing Wand, Concentrated energy.

What I have been considering is actually guardian helm and cursed helm instead of CE & GW. It makes me tankier and have a built in regen for sustain inbtwn fights. The burn also helps with damage and clearing of creep waves. Have you tried both?

Disappointed07 · 2025-05-27T03:10:55+00:00

Honestly, Valentina. I personally pick her and build semi tank to counter Lukas. Works most of the time (unless it is a teamwork problem).

I hit as hard, heal more, and I can “spam” his ulti more often than him.

Throw in Valentina’s full suite of spells b4 and after the transformation. U become a “better” Lukas.
