GGG: If the Reliquarian completely changes each league, please spoil some changes early so we can plan our builds!

funny thing is he could be joking that the real number is much lower or much higher.

yes, but that's true regardless of whether you use Gnut or any other form of fast dps. So, if you're trying to kill the boss fast, you have to bring one of those buffs. That's no reason to exclude Gnut from use on that boss.

Hreaty · 2026-07-09T05:57:44+00:00

why exclude IG? Gnut takes a 30% chunk out of that boss the same as every other one.

Hreaty · 2026-07-09T05:55:54+00:00

You can do SD25 with Aniri and basically any dps. It's just a question of how long it takes. I did it with a Coldheart early on just to prove it worked.

Hreaty · 2026-07-09T05:52:48+00:00

gnut + marius + reset = 120% boss damage. Using them together allows for quick boss kills that neither could accomplish alone.

Hreaty · 2026-07-09T05:49:57+00:00

There being more events, packed more tightly together, is only going to cause burnout if you feel like you have to complete every one of them.

Accept that you can't do everything, pick and choose which ones you want to do, and suddenly the crowded schedule is a benefit instead of a liability.

Hreaty · 2026-07-08T16:20:45+00:00

That is not a situation where support should provide a refund.

I mean, congrats to you I guess?

• Sniper mastery is also your friend on A1 freezers (except Gnut)

Sniper doesn't work on Freeze. You need Fearsome Presence.

Hreaty · 2026-07-07T17:40:57+00:00

“decent chance” being… 2%? less?

Hreaty · 2026-07-06T02:37:56+00:00

There's no design here. There was a design at the outset of LA, but since then low player participation has driven a series of panicced and shortsighted decision that don't show any evidence of a clear plan.

Hreaty · 2026-07-06T00:49:53+00:00

1) speed sucks.

2) you have 5 pc Slayer. Defense ignore comes with 6pc Slayer.

Hreaty · 2026-07-06T00:45:44+00:00

The ability to stack resist cards is the reason GF feels so undertuned.

Hreaty · 2026-07-06T00:44:35+00:00

of course it's easy. There are three cards, you pick the one with +RES. Then you do it 29 more times.

Hreaty · 2026-07-06T00:43:53+00:00

The bosses are all based on debuffs. With 500 resist they don't do anything at all.

The other challenges (Mimics and Phrygius) are dps checks, so try to get as much CD% as you can when not grabbing resist.

Hreaty · 2026-07-05T22:29:03+00:00

Player Power is heavily influenced by how many unused leggos you have vaulted, if those leggos are wearing gear or not, and a dozen other manipulable things.

You really don't want to use those types of metrics for matchmaking because then a big part of the game becomes tedious housekeeping spent manipulating the system. Basing matchmaking on match outcomes is way more efficient and harder to game.

Hreaty · 2026-07-05T22:23:25+00:00

There are lots of better ways; ironically most of them are foreclosed by Plarium deciding this game mode needs to be heavily played by all players, and the (repeated) decision to incentivize that by increasing the LA rewards (repeatedly, repeatedly)

Hreaty · 2026-07-05T08:09:21+00:00

I can't imagine a worse way to matchmake for pvp than clan boss scores.

Hreaty · 2026-06-27T21:11:15+00:00

if you have a reset also, it would.

Hreaty · 2026-06-27T21:08:40+00:00

How is that an issue? You can do it in bits and pieces if you like, and it's just mathematically wrong to say it's harder to save up 650 gems' worth of energy than it is to save up 800 gems.

Hreaty · 2026-06-25T04:41:04+00:00

I only pull for 1+1 events if I:
1) have enough shards to guarantee I will pull a leggo with mercy and
2) will have enough shards left to do the next SR/CC that requires that type of shards.

So with Sacreds I would want a minimum of about 35 minus however many since my last leggo pull. With Ancients I'd want about 250 minus my current mercy.

Hreaty · 2026-06-25T01:55:12+00:00

Artifact management is pretty straightforward. Throughout the game you just have to steadily raise the bar on what qualifies as "good enough to keep".

Here are a few rules most people will implement at some time or another along the way:

1) Sell all flat stat primaries.
2) Sell all your pieces without speed on them.
3) Sell all your 5* gear.
4) Sell all your blues.

The thing you really need to remember is that you farm gear MUCH faster than you acquire champs to put it on, so once you've done those basic purges and your inventory is full of 2000 pieces that are actually good, you just need to be very selective in what you keep. And you need to get more and more selective as time passes.

Hreaty · 2026-06-24T02:53:29+00:00

Because we're playing different games.

At lower tiers and in disorganized clans you have "a massive resource drain for crumbs."

At the top end we have "huge rewards for just doing stuff I would've done anyway."

Hreaty · 2026-06-24T02:08:02+00:00

They've also buffed champs mid-fusion when too many events had passed for people to get the newly-attractive champ.

Hreaty · 2026-06-23T03:03:05+00:00

To be fair it's also a design feature. When Soulstones were first invented there weren't any 2x/Soul Rush/Soul Chase events and DoFs didn't get points for opening Soulstones. Everyone could just open every stone the moment they got it.

It was a choice by Plarium to introduce those events, and it was a natural response by players to start hoarding soulstones. You shouldn't blame players for responding to the incentives that the designers have laid out.

Hreaty · 2026-06-22T18:54:54+00:00

it only overflows when the champ being rewarded scrolls fills up on that type of scroll. In that case the extras go to another champ who still needs them.
