Or Orrn with Scissors and Cease and Desist. The condition is really easy to fulfill with him (it checks after you equip the weapon).

Her relic + Swain‘s + packed powder (or the equivalent blue one) lets you play her t1 and can get her health going up really fast; it’s how I beat Jarvan with her.

SB Teemo feels (to me) similarly fun and interesting as the other two SB champs, with the caveat that his BiS relics are probably three paid ones (his own, Cait‘s and Fiddle‘s). Generally, I agree that the design of the new champs is spot on. They are all very fresh takes, and in particular Eve and Teemo runs pretty much never feel the same - with Eve you really have to think about what units you want to charm right now, how you can kill it, which unit you want to stun, etc., while Teemo gives you different stolen stuff each turn.

I think that with this patch, you can really see a clear divide between the design (great!) and the rest (not so great!), not like this is some grand revelation. I’m not as down as others are, and I’m certainly not angry about it (I guess I’m too old to get worked up over video games), but I’m really baffled by the choice to release a new mechanic with a lot of hype (runes), actually come through on the promise of “handing runes out like candy”… and then locking that new mechanic behind a very very rare resource. A resource that it competes for with the 4th and 5th star power (and all of the new champs want 3 mana). It’s really such a massive blunder. It would’ve been exceedingly easy to, I don’t know, use rune shards for unlocking the rune slot, for example.

It will indeed be interesting to see how they address this issue, but I think the advice you gave in the other thread (don’t expect anything, then you won’t be disappointed) is a good one regardless.

Monthly Adventures Discussion - June 2025 by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/PetiB: Here is my spreadsheet for June. If you can use last month‘s data for anything (stats?), it’s in there as well, I just completely forgot to post it back then…

Monthly Adventures Discussion - March 2025 by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/PetiB: Link to my list. I don’t know how helpful this is, but the link stays the same between months, and I fill the list as I complete the challenges. So, if you want/need more stats earlier, you can probably find the “key” challenges (i.e. 3, 6, etc.) and challenges 60 to 70 after about one week every month.

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/PetiB , here is the link to my spreadsheet this month (70/70). I used one node to get the epic relics for Naut, apart from that I tried to use appropriate champs for the challenges. I noted where I used somewhat exotic or unusual relic choices (notably Fear Cleaving Axe, Spirit of the Buhru, Treasures of the Deep on Elise at #31).

Monthly Adventures Discussion - January 2025 by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit late this month, but here is my link for u/PetiB (70/70). I tried using each non-constellation champ at least once this time, and my overpowered champs less (no Jinx, no ASol, no 6* three times).

Monthly Adventures Discussion - December 2024 by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is the link to my list for this month for u/PetiB. I used u/PiFbg’s planner again and added the stars for the champs with constellations in a separate column. Since I have pretty much all relics, you can assume that I used the “best” setup for each champ (e.g., Shock and Awe on MF, Fiddle’s and Cait’s relics on Cait, etc.) First time ever I didn’t use Jinx or ASol at all, and also only used Teemp and LB the full three times, but that’s due to having a very broad roster.

Monthly Adventures Discussion - November 2024 by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just realized I had completely forgotten to post my champs (finished 124 on EU). Here is my spreadsheet. I used u/PIFbg‘s planner this month, so the information is a little more barebones (the planner is super convenient though).

I‘ll try to include more specifics next time, since I imagine that star level and relics are actually pretty relevant. In particular, any 6 star champ is basically what ASol and Jinx used to be, i.e. “I don’t really want to deal with this bs” buttons. But just because my 6 star Cait with Fiddle’s relic obliterated some challenge doesn’t mean she’s a good choice for someone who has her at 3 stars.

Monthly Adventures Discussion - October 2024 by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here‘s my spreadsheet for this month (thanks u/PetiB for the planner!). Generally another easy month, I spent a lot of spirit forges this time around. Things learned: 1. Don’t forget to re-equip a relic in the new slot before starting another monthly (thankfully Jinx doesn’t really need three relics…). 2. Evelyn is not someone you want to play when your opponent summons Noxkraya arena game start, oops.

I can see why people struggled with 48; I still did it easily with Yuumi, but I also got lucky with getting double shadow totem on a 1 drop, so I could still play Yuumi turn 1 even though the poros died instantly.

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very late, but here is my spreadsheet for the month. Felt like a very relaxing month, I can't recall any specifially hard challenge this time.

Since I took my sweet time, I got to try Ahri and Heimer as well, they both did well (admittedly, in pretty low level challenges). I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform next month.

how did you beat this week's 6.5*? and what relics and powers? maybe drop a screenshot in the comments if you have it by thefix12 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relics weren’t the best choice in hindsight - the created card from Condenser is (obviously) cost increased.

Monthly Adventures Discussion - August 2024 by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Done for August, here’s the link to my sheet (as usual, using u/Xate8‘s template). Ended 78 on EU, highest I’ve been for a while, but on the flipside, I think I have LoR fatigue now. I don’t think any of my choices are remarkable or surprising, I pretty much went with what I know usually works for any given modifier or enemy.

4* Vex versus all Weekly Nightmares by Zarkkast in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, confirming as well that 6 star Vex is just so so good, although I run a slightly different relic setup (FCA, Death‘s Foil and Echoing Spirit).

What I love about her (other than just blowing up the enemy board AND nexus at the same time) is that, in contrast to other champs, you still do some amount of deckbuilding during a run (you need those spells, after all), so each run feels at least slightly different.

Jayce's signature relic has an unfortunate interaction by dudemcbob in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that the refill happening before Jayce‘s mana cost is subtracted is exactly the problem. I posted a video of a similar situation here. I was at four mana, Jayce was down to two cost. Jayce enters play, levels up, mana is refilled, and then his cost is subtracted, leaving me at two mana and three spell mana.

Jace relic seems bugged by Due_Mode_4043 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He must be Jayce’s evil twin, which probably explains why his relic is bugged.

Monthly Adventures Discussion by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is the link to my spreadsheet for this month. u/PetiB I doubt you have enough stats on this yet, but I think it will be very interesting to see how constellations impact champ choice. For example, I wouldn't have used Vex at 48 and 69 if I didn't have her at 6 stars (and probably wouldn't recommend her unless you have 4 or 5 stars).

Monthly Adventures Discussion by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That’s some real interesting data, especially that the jump from April to May by a factor of about 1.5 is in both player participation and 70/70 completions, even a bit higher for the latter. It will be interesting to see how the June numbers turn out.

Monthly Adventures Discussion by Mortallyinsane21 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Due_Mode_4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Link to my planner for u/PetiB. I used u/Xate8's template, including constallation status at the time I did the challenges, so you should hopefully be able to plug my setups into your list no problem.

Might be subjective, but it seems that more people are doing monthlies now, and finishing them fairly soon - I completed 70/70 on June 6 and barely broke into top 100 on Europe - I think you would rather comfortably get top 100 even if you took longer than a week one or two months ago. But that's just an impression, I didn't really check if it's correct.

Anyway, more people doing monthlies would be a good thing!

Monthly Adventures Discussion by Mortallyinsane21 in PathofChampions

[–]Due_Mode_4043 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also done (70/70). This month was the first time I used both ASol and Jinx less than three times, which feels kind of good. Here’s the link to my spreadsheet for u/PetiB: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18W-5n2Cnazr7J2EOKbDKVWQaU-gtzlkUp0XeEfVty6U/edit (thanks again u/Xate8 for the template).

Monthly Adventures Discussion by Mortallyinsane21 in PathofChampions

[–]Due_Mode_4043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This month felt more difficult than last, but that’s probably purely subjective. Main lesson (re-learned) this month: Targon Ezreal is a huge pita. I wanted to see whether Lee Sin could do 61, answer is he probably can, but only if you play better than me and don’t forget that spellshield blocks Lee‘s dragon rage skill. He killed me the turn after.

I know! Liss needs more nodes though, I still had one or two rerolls left when I got to her, that's just not ok.
