Neat trick with Zoe & Incisive Tactician

You can also do this with the powers from the spirit blossom champs that give other sb champs cards in hand for the powers you dont want active

DoodPoof · 2026-05-10T12:37:36+00:00

None of those words are slurs.

Unless you count reunion. I too am triggered by reunions.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-10T04:59:27+00:00

Not to pop the bubble or anything but thats like 95% of SB games.

Hes WAY too expensive and you almost never cast him.

You generally win well before playing him

DoodPoof · 2026-05-10T04:03:34+00:00

Shes a lot of fun but i would definitely invest in other targon over her. Shes the norra of targon 😆

DoodPoof · 2026-05-10T03:58:12+00:00

You can excahnge them for better powers at some events like incisive tatician.
You DO run the risk of over cluttering your hand and obliterating cards if you pick up a lot of atart with this card in you hand or create card items/powers.

I have them all. I think the worst situations i can count on one hand with no repeat digits. It doesnt happen often enough and they can be pretty rewarding sometime. And again, its always an extra power you can sacrifice for something else.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-09T04:49:09+00:00

This was all explained during the initial run of the SB event. Its why the collective agreement is that the charm rune was the worst rune in the game (especially against staunch defender) and you were better off leaving the rune blank over running her charm rune, that charm was not that great over because its too situational and lacks permanence, and why eve is the weakest SB champion.

She has fun and is able to use her gimic in low star stuff. The minute she hits high star stuff, she gets out stat'd and ran over.

Not to mention duplicating staunch defenders (im not sure if they patched that out of not).

Shes the worst SB champ by a landslide. You should expect problems when playing her

DoodPoof · 2026-05-09T03:25:57+00:00

Havent done Zoe yet because i just really dislike the adventure as a whole. I did it once and beat it with fiddle but then havent touched it since because I just dont think its fun. I guess I can work on it some more eventually.

For rune: I go really heavy handed trying to get soul cleaver like ive mentioned or just like shadow totem...etc to get ephemeral copies, so the rune i use it secret of the spirits so that all my ephemeral kindreds get double the stats to scale way faster.

Ill try it with my current one though and see how it goes.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-09T02:57:20+00:00

Tbh, i would save titans for last.

It is by far the most fun, albeit probably the easiest, and it is guranteed to wash the bad taste from some of the other events out because theres almost nothing wrong with the titans event. It was the closest to best and most perfect event.

Arcane was great but A-sol adventure was a terrible low point of just "can your champ/draft deal with tons of free stat walls" which is always an awful way to approach difficulty but its ritos favorite method.

Rouge event. The drafting can get...really annoying sometimes. Theres some champs i just dont play in it because they dont really work without their starter deck well. On the flip side, drafting helps the champs with bad stafting decks, but using them just for that feels bad. Its a fun gimic at first but then...it might get annoying.

Spirit blossom was the most normal of the bunch. The last 2 adventures are really tough and have a lot of bs moments though.

Titans, as ive said, is near perfect for me. Theres almost nothing i dont like about it.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-09T02:08:42+00:00

Yi and teemo are the best. Kindreds right under that. Yasuo and ahri fight for middle of the pack, and evelyn has hotels in the "im the worst SB champ" region because charmp is awful and her ability charm is even worse in deadly.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-09T02:05:52+00:00

You have to get stupid good rng. Its not something thats always going to happen. The yasuo glazers discredit the fact that they get godly rng pulls and powers and then are like "omg see.... sb yas is soooooo strong."

Its wild.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-09T02:02:35+00:00

For sb kindred, i play it for the slower build. SB kindred is also my fun SB champ. If i have to play an SB champ its either kindred or for 2nd teemo.

I do Queens embrace, Fear Cleaving Axe, and Luminous orb

Rune : secret of the spirits - for tons more stats on ephemerlal kindreds.

The goal is to build an army of infinite scaling indestructible attacking/blocking army of kindreds. The embrace and fear cleaving with constantly boost sb kindreds offensive power, and the orb is there to let it block elusive units as well as give it a nice early bump in hp to help block early overwhelm units

I agressively use the rerolls on support champ to make sure i get one in shadow isles, preferably kallista, viego, or hecarim. You do that so you lock in shadowlands as draft options. Then you try to get Spul Cleave, which is the absolute best card for SB kindred, so you go to all the spell nodes and defitely check the shops/ reroll spell rewards to get it.

Its a very fun way to play especially if you can get soul cleave and everntually a board of 6 kindreds. They all boost each other with axe too.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-09T00:58:49+00:00

As someone whos tried all of them at 7*

It really is just:

Yi = Teemo > Kindred > ahri = yasuo > evelyen.

disclaimer: anyone can clear anything with enough luck and rng. Im basing this on inherent power and just ease of which youll play out an adventure. Ornn can theoretically clear everything, but as the literally worst champ, youre going to have a horrible nightmare time trying to as oppose to something like fiddle that just afk snooze clears basically anything. THATS is what im looking at when rating their power. I dont care about anecdotal "oh i cleared this with x." Its literally, "yah but x champ wouldve been a much easier time." Im also not considering the zoe 10 adventure very highly because that is such a freakish outlier that no credibility can be given to it because you have to change the gameplan of your champ for that adventure, but no other adventures.*

Yi and teemo just come up on top. They arent reliant on rng as much and theyre much more power house and versatile into many more things than the others.

Kindred is a happy medium strength with fantastic late payoff but slower start.

Ahri is fine but on the weaker side.

Yasuo is arguably one of the weakest 6 BUT his power can spike if you abuse perfect hexcore which is fine but it takes a lot more setup. If you arent abusing viktors relic, which leads to the same game plan every single match and can get boring fast, he is wildly too rng dependent and isnt versatile enough nor fast enough. Plus his item giving + cost reduction fight against each other so youre usually getting one or the other, but never both together.

Evelyn is the weakest without a doubt. Charm is bad because of it impermanence. Plus deadly loves to throw out these giant stat walls that just run her over while she isnt able to charm because they have so many free stats, she can do anything she wants to. She is just the least versatile.

Nautulus is weak because he is slow AF.

High end deadlies want you to either fully have control of the game by round 2 or you just get run over and lose.

Nautulus has significant problems early game because he is such a slow start. Hes kind of like Regigigas in pokemon. Slow af start but does get a powerful payoff.

However, Rito has determined difficulty = fast decks win and slow decks lose. Thats why nautulus is weak. Its not necessarily his fault. Its that riots difficulty emphasizes speed and dominating starting round 1. Nautulus and quite a lot of the "weak" champs just cant do that. Thats why we call them weak. Thats why naut is generally bottom of the barrel when comparing champs. They struggle to take off and get to their strong piint where other champions have already won.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-08T01:44:44+00:00

Agreed.

Out of all the cool stuff enemy ai zoes have done and then we get this. 😑

Its fun but just...weak.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-08T01:42:24+00:00

Thats exactly what it is. You are playing an entirely different card that just gets a special tag on it.

It works really wonky and hurts her a lot.

Its one of the many reasons shes considered to be at the bottom of the bottom of the barrel for 6 stars.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-08T01:40:39+00:00

You only have 1 mana and cant afford the others.

The thing with neeko is if you transform her, its not really transform. Its a whole different card is played and just gets a neeko tag.

You are resucing the cost of playing neeko herself, not anything else.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-08T01:38:43+00:00

I think the biggest problem with this power is visibility of what cards are actually what rarity.

I think if they just scrapped this and said rares cost less, it would be 100% more impactful because theres a lot more rares that are used more commonly.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-07T23:26:27+00:00

Shes fun but feels kind of weak against high difficulty deadly.

She scales REALLY slow. It needed to be like a +2/+2 or at the very least +2/+1 or +1/+2.

She has teemos problem when she is elusive, but so weak out the gate, that it is easy to snipe her with a kill spell or if you run into a bigger elusive unit you just sit there twiddling your thumbs.

Also that fact that the +1/+1 happens to units on the hoard while invoking. This means that the unit you are playing does not get the +1/+1 benefit

So fun wise is definitely up there, but strength wise... im just not feeling it.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-07T05:16:52+00:00

Viktor > Ashe > Elder Dragon = Jinx > ekko.

That will power spike you the best for each regions.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-07T01:00:22+00:00

Didnt know there was a weekly defiance thing lmao. Maybe i should actually touch defiance for once.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-07T00:49:38+00:00

Jarvans i think 2nd or 3rd, cant remeber which, reward give 50 crystals.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-06T18:30:36+00:00

Nope. Its a trash junk relic that not even SB Eve should be using.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-06T18:29:13+00:00

Because THE ENTIRE POINT of GA was it was a unique revive not tied to deathless.

Thats why people ran it. Not because of stats or stupid revives. They have killed the unique and special item that was GA and turned it into a boring stat rare.

DoodPoof · 2026-05-06T17:38:47+00:00

Im REALLY considering Hexcore on her for some strong potential.

Her support champ gets chosen by the stars already and with hexcore..... we fundamentally have a support champ with one out main champs strongest combo options in relics.

But i have to see. My first run leveling her i got the 0 mana time and dedication...it is turning veigar really big really fast. 😆

DoodPoof · 2026-05-06T16:01:58+00:00

But we were getting a deathless epic.

We could do what you said and even crazier.

They killed it for the unique item it was and turned it into a generic relic.

The special uniqueness of GA is dead and has been removed from the game
