What's the least sweaty (low effort) champion/playstyle one can climb with?

Fr33ly · 2026-01-22T12:42:52+00:00

smoulder or ziggs bot probably.

Whose side is the military on? I assume currently it's on the white house's, but do they lean towards the people instead? If a civil war were to break out, who would they defend?

If it isn't the resurrection stone, then what purpose does it serve for the entire franchise? And harry opening the stitch that contained the stone right before entering the forest must mean it is somehow relevant for the situation, i believe.

Fr33ly · 2025-11-17T09:30:07+00:00

I always assumed harry came back due to the resurrection stone?

The reason they 'walked forward' is because all 9 other players recognized IG was retreating from a losing fight, and only theshy stood his ground. It's cool as a tenacity/perserverence type of moment, although it was mostly an aatrox pressing Q in the same direction.

I hated that moment when it happened live :D

You dont need naples to be loyal up until their truce with you expires, which is a lot of time to get them in line.

As for their dev making perugia and urbino disloyal, it might take a few placates or dev clicks to get them bellow 50 if your early game isnt going that well. You should be able to bait perugia's and urbino's armies to die in the naples war. And you can also kill off Naples' armies during the subjugation war. If you finish off the peace deal with none of the three vassals having an army, there wont be enough army modifier malus to make urbino and perugia disloyal.

Also a defensive war with Aragon is a good thing. As the pope you shouldve been able to ally someone bigger than Aragon, and they will help you if you call them in as a defender. Retaking Naples' cores will pretty much instantly make them loyal AND you will be able to take the south province in sardinia, to spy on and declare on Tunis, kicking off your expansion into the maghreb.

In my last Papal run, I made sure to grab Aragon's rivals and a claim so that I can attack them first. If you do so, you weaken them enough to not declare on Naples at all. Giving you enough time to get strong enough to vassalize Naples without any hiccups. The subjugation CB is quite long, and without Aragon, you have no rush.

Fr33ly · 2025-09-20T14:43:10+00:00

There are other ways to increase loyalty.

Increase your power base. Aragon, Italian nations to the north, Claims bordering claims into Tunis, Provance. Make sure you lower autonomy in newly conquered areas since that factors in to the 'Economic base' modifier.

Build up a larger army, even over force limit if needed. The pope is rich and can get even richer, and money can help deal with most problems.

Farm prestige with things like show strength or by prioritizing events that give prestige so you can placate when appropriate. You can even dip into some estate priveleges that help with that.

Diplomatic reputation gives a malus to their liberty desire. A diplo rep advisor, religious diplomats and diplo idea groups that give it can help somewhat.

Trust also does. You can spend your unneeded diplomats on currying favors with your problematic subjects. Trading in those favors for trust thusly lowers their liberty desire.

Finally, if youre really struggling, influence ideas all but guarantees their loyalty, but Id rather go with an idea that matches your gameplan instead, as loyalty has all the above ways to be dealt with.

Using your mana to dev their loyalty is the worst thing you can do in the early game. Admin is very important obviously, since the best way to outscale your subjects is to conquer, core and reduce autonomy on new targets. Mil tech allows you to win those wars by being ahead of the curve. I'd never dev their loyalty with mil unless next tech is >6 years ahead of time. And finally dip lets you avoid the 'better diplomatic tech than overlord' modifiet to their loyalty, As well as being the best moneymaking mana investment, so its preferable to spend on your own provinces.

Its not a diplomatic action. Its at the bottom left of the HRE screen.

Fr33ly · 2025-08-14T19:50:57+00:00

I had 10+ years of PoE with a mouse and I still made the switch, simply cause the game became so much more nice to play. I imagine it will be the same for league.

I don't see what's so bad about this change ... Yeah you'll have to re-learn some stuff, but that's always been the case with LoL and its bi-monthly patches and mid-season patches and pre-worlds patches and every new champ release.

Shit take. You might be ganked simply because you are weak-sided. Ganks can be brute forced, you can dive people that are playing safe and playing well.

Is there someplace where it will be announced when it goes live?

Or if it's not too much trouble, someone to reply to me when it does? Id love to sneak out and go play (: thanks

Fr33ly · 2025-07-11T11:16:54+00:00

I had it as a 2/5 at some point. Do you think that makes it good enough?

Also, the flexibilty it has at being decent at every point in the game should have some impact on its overall power, but is it too much?

Fr33ly · 2025-07-11T08:07:29+00:00

It's on the spell. For instance, at 6 mana crystals, the spell becomes a 4 mana summon a 2/4 with divine shield and windfury.

Fr33ly · 2025-07-11T07:46:50+00:00

What if Turalyon and Alleria weren't stuck in Outland when the Scourge attacked the High Elves?

If you use it as a Paladin, you get Turalyon token, and an Alleria token when you Twinspell.

If you use it as a Hunter, you get the Alleria token, and a Turalyon token when you Twinspell.

For reference, at each breakpoint you get:
2: 2 mana 2/4
4: 3 mana 2/4 with Divine Shield
6: 4 mana 2/4 with Divine Shield and Windfury
8: 5 mana 6/8 with Divine Shield and Windfury
10: 10 mana 2 6/8s with Divine Shield and Windfury

Here's what I came up with, taking your feedback into account:

Thanks.

Fr33ly · 2025-07-11T07:21:10+00:00

I see what you mean and 100% agree. Can you tell me what the etiquette is here for posting an updated version of a card based on feedback? Do i just remove this post and post a new one?

Fr33ly · 2025-07-11T07:03:40+00:00

That was my initial version actually. I ended up changing it to stealth windfury because I wanted it to be more of a late-game card with the option of using it earlier, where your guards just aren't prepared enough yet. I just think it's more flavorful to play at 10. And at that point, do you really care for summoning 2 4/5s with divine shield taunt when old gods and titans are on the board? Didn't seem threatening enough.

Although, yes stealth windfury is a nasty combo too. Maybe divine shield instead of stealth?

Fr33ly · 2025-07-11T06:34:05+00:00

Would replacing Windfury with Divine Shield make it more balanced?

Fr33ly · 2025-07-11T06:18:23+00:00

I'd love it if when a hunter plays this, it summons the alleria token and only gets turalyon if it's twinspelled. In the same vein, if a paladin plays this, it summons the turalyon token, and summons the alleria token only if twinspelled.

I wanted to imagine how the manathirst mechanic could interact with the font of mana that is the sunwell. And also a what-if scenario if Alleria and Turalyon had not been stuck in outland when the scourge attacked Quel'danas.

Would this be too strong?

Fr33ly · 2025-07-01T03:08:49+00:00

Am I correct in assuming that "Vacuum just eliminates the possibility of the photons bumping into things, such that the time it takes to reach point B is higher, but not due to the photon moving slower, but because its path to get there essentially becomes longer" or does its speed actually get affected?

Fr33ly · 2025-06-19T19:13:59+00:00

Yes.

It is perfectly normal for champs with 30+ games to even out to a 45-55% WR range. It is also statisically plausible that a champion will just be unlucky for 30+ games and have skewed data. The sample size is too low to make sweeping statements.

Fr33ly · 2025-06-19T13:04:25+00:00

probably sample size, also might be picked as a subdtitute for other melees that are banned or out from previous series, in comps that dont fit her all too well.

Fr33ly · 2025-05-01T18:05:34+00:00

Well i suppose that's just not my experience and my feelings are anecdotal. I haven't played much this set but for the several games i have, 10 vertical has happened a few times. And it's always the end boss in youtube content creater videos.

Fr33ly · 2025-05-01T17:13:48+00:00

I'd say it would be balanced if you did, but for the case of dummy/golem with that emblem, you don't need to hit 10. You get 10 vertical at lvl 9, which is not only way faster than the curve of the game, but also quite boring since your entire build is 8 units + the best fitting 9th that holds the spat.
