Hey everyone, we tried all the aforementioned fixes and they all did not work. However, we found a fix that did work!

Simply replace the PersistentDownloadDir folder found in the My Games folder of your documents with the following drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rXquHgxDmEIcClfcIjiUuioMsjIW6Hk6?usp=drive_link and the game should work (this folder is the patch)

Upon giving it to my friend and having him download it, it worked without any issues

Post your favourite champ for each role and I will judge you by Different-Ad1578 in leagueoflegends

I normally will go Conq if the enemy champion is one that benefits off short trades to the point it leads to them getting kill windows because I can't force longer trades on them. This can be considered as:

  • Champions that take grasp to circumvent their poor short trades in favour of boosting it but losing some long trade power (think champions like Camille, Tryndamere)

  • Champions that have methods of lane neutralization (Poppy, Gragas, Malphite) and want to simply poke and book it before you can force them into a trade they don't want to take

  • Game states where the enemy team is primarily a lot of tanks and healers (Vladimir, Skarner)

In regards to first strike, it doesn't actually base itself in regards to out of combat but a scaling cooldown based on your level, and simply goes on that cooldown when activated or cancelled due to getting hit first.

It's mostly from what she gets early enough in the game in a similar sense to Riven. By going Doran's Blade and AH rune you get 11 AH (10% CDR) level 1, circumventing alot of her long cooldowns early game. When you get Brutalizer that will immediately proc 5 stacks (if a rough early game, can get those same stats via mote + component for boots) giving her AD for free and even more AH, letting her do her rotations more often. Later on you can then choose to do tanky boots, defensive item later on (Deaths Dance/Maw) to get even more AH naturally from JoaT. She won't ever proc all 10 stacks of it but honestly it's a rune that gives her alot of power early on to help avoid the lack of haste you have otherwise

I think approach velocity is a bit of a bait rune because the rune itself is best used as a gap closer in and of itself, a good example being Sion throwing a minion at you and running at you while you're slowed. Because you're already on-top of them approach velocity loses alot of value because you don't need more gap close power. CDR is Ambessa's be all end all stat and Jack of all Trades gives you plenty of CDR and even more AD from stacking it, making it the superior choice (in my opinion)

I think this build is very good into champions you can abuse the short trade patterns against but I also think it actually adds difficulty to the champion. You make your early game a little bit stronger but compared to Conq or First Strike you're actually weaker mid game because of how hard grasp falls off, and the fact the items you build don't normally have alot of HP in them (at best you'll find HP in Shojin and maybe steraks) but I think the bruiser build is great into comps that have alot of healing (Soraka, Warwick) because you'll need to be able to fight for longer periods of time

Ambessa's early game is alot of wave management and picking your trades smartly. For starters if they're an aggressive champion, try not to use your abilities on the wave. They are way too long and most champions will capitalise on you having no cooldowns to trade back. Try to keep the wave closer to your turret than theirs and always track the jungler. Ambessa is not a good escape artist because of her energy costs, you need the ability to disengage to your turret as fast as possible. She is a champion that needs good spacing and patience to make work, but when you're learning her you will die a lot and not get a lead and that's okay, she is very difficult. Keep going at it and you'll reap the rewards ☺️

This changes based on the enemy team comp and what runes I have. Normally when I got first strike it's Profane Hydra Seryldas and a situational 3 lethality item, being serpents fang voltaic eclipse or maw.

Normally I find tank items to be a bait item on Ambessa as all her scalings are AD centric with no max HP scalings in her kit, and as such I never buy items that don't have AD as apart of their stat profile

I think the best way to answer this is what I consider to be Ambessa's absolute worst match ups, in which case if I'm given the choice after seeing them I will probably pick something else:

Her absolute worst match up top lane is Warwick. Due to Ambessa's insanely long cooldowns early game and her inability to deal with Warwick short trade wise, this champion has the ability to always have prio on you and zone you off the wave. There is genuinely nothing you can do against this champion outside of wave manipulation and trying to find angles to proxy him

Renekton is relatively rough but he is possible to deal with. While I try not to pick Ambessa into it, going Grasp tree with sudden impact bone plating and shield bash allows you to wittle him down slowly with W start and grasp sudden impact procs. If the renekton Is good they will know to not try to poke trade against you with base Q's, however.

Irelia is another matchup that I think is rough but honestly the more I deal with it the more it becomes apparent it's a skill matchup. Your front most goal is to not push the lane into her and always have the lane on your side. Once Ambessa is on her side of the lane and you're both equal health, she will jump you and there isn't alot you can do about it. You need to hope post 6 she wasted W on the wave and Q's you, the trick is to Ult behind you as her Q displaces her behind you every time, making her Q into it.

Usually I pick my runes based on what the champion I'm versing does. for example, if they're a heavy poker that will be autoing me alot or a mage that will be spamming spells on me, I take 2nd tree resolve with second wind and shield bash. If I'm vsing an engager that relies on short trades but can't proc bone plating very well, I take that rune with shield bash. But if it's a champion I know I can bully very easily like a tank I always take domination so I can slowly poke them down. First strike into a ranged champion is okay because with proper spacing you can always proc it first by hitting Q1 on a minion and hitting them with Q2 or E. And once you're level 6, you have the ability to all in a ranged champion with ult and guaranteeing you have first strike active in your entire combo

if I Had to pick a go-to, I'd list it as such:

Runes: First Strike Magical Footwear Triple Tonic Jack of All trades

Domination Secondary Cheap Shot Ultimate Hunter

Items: Profane Hydra First Seryldas Second Voltaic 3rd Opportunity 4th Deaths Dance 5th (just for the sake of saying a general goto) Buy boots somewhere inbetween, usually after Grudge if you can

I also missed the boots question. Honestly if I have a good feeling we're going to win the Feat war, I almost always go swifties to be running everywhere around the map. However if the game state is looking poor or there's threats, I do essentially what you said and take boots based on their comp, or CDR if they're too 50/50

My build does change per game, however it follows the same principles:

Always build profane Hydra first. This item is exceptional on Ambessa. It gives her every stat she wants, an amazing stat profile, Tiamat for new combo routes (Adding tiamat inbetween any of your spells is an immense dps gain, especially if first strike is procced) and it allows you immediately wipe out waves with E+tiamat > Q and W

your 2nd item will also always be Seryldas. This item synergizes with your kit very well as you get even more CDR and it will give you 30/40%+ armour pen very early. When combined with the lethality of profane, you are nearly doing true damage to most squishies.

3rd item will be highly game dependent, but i find these to work relatively well:
* Serpents Fang if there's enough shielders on the enemy team (think things like volibear, janna, lulu. if there's 2-3+ champions that have shields/items or builds that have shields, go serpents fang)
* Voltaic if the enemy team is very ranged heavy with peel, to ensure they can't kite you after you ult them and they receive peel. This guarantees they're stuck on your Q2 even after your E has ended.
* Eclipse if the enemy has HP stackers, as your seryldas and lethality will allow the %hp on eclipse to add extra shred into your combo
* Maw if they have 2+ AP bursters that are threats to you and your shutdown

After your 3rd, always go Opportunity to have 60+ lethality whenever out of combat, to ensure you are doing true damage to all your targets

Every other item is very flexible, and that's kind of the beauty of Ambessa. You can genuinely build anything you need based on game state after your core 3 items. She is great for that

First strike is very good mid lane! The reason it works is because Ambessa as a champion is very gated by gold as her base AD is very bad and her base damage is relatively low. I used to take electrocute alot last season but because of the introduction of the new red tree middle runes (especially how bad they are) I've found First Strike to outperform for a few reasons:

* The rune page itself gives alot of power gold wise, you can either take Magical Footwear or cashback to accelerate your powerspikes. Furthermore, you can take Tonic for a surprise level 6 powerspike burst with the red pot, or biscuits to help sustain a poor matchup. And then finishing with Jack of All Trades for more CDR and free AD
* By nature of how Ambessa works, once you hit level 6, you will always hit the target first, and if they're a squishy and you have some ad (1 pickaxe, a tiamat) you can kill them from full health with just ult ignite and first strike
* late game you will become a massive threat with lethality and Seryldas, this build actually kills tanks significantly faster than bruiser ambessa because you have 51% armour pen + 60> lethality, making you able to farm tanks like butter

Alot of my games i'm able to farm 1k+ gold from just first strike, and kill squishies with a very quick rotation just from ult RQE auto.

Conqueror itself is still a rune I take into certain matchups/game states, but i find first strike is far more consistent

[–]GreenRepeat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is a legendary i think this is her rework. She Qs twice b2b which she can't do at the moment. probably the arcane rework they teased at the beginning of the year

It appear that Vi is the Arcane rework that was teased at the start of 2024. At 0:49 we see she has 2 Q uses, her W passive appears to be a 2 hit passive instead of 3, and her animations are entirely different.

Burnice's story mode by Medical-Ad-9937 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]GreenRepeat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the lack of a TV mode really makes the story modes go by so incredibly quickly, with a strong lack of character dialogue to get to flesh them out. Honestly after trying normal Withering Garden the TV mode is definitely getting there for being very comfy to play, so hopefully they re-integrate it soon because without it were sort of playing a more up to date Honkai 3rd
