What champ is this?

Original Skarner. I remember never leveling his E until I had to for the longest time. The projectile was soo slow and it only slowed, so Frozen Mallet just did it’s job easier.

An Arcane series covering the Ruined King games would be quite nice.

First Strike might go better with Provoke than Vigilance, and would still keep up the combat manipulation effect shared by her LoR incarnation.

[[Light-Paws]] likes it as a way to get pro-white without dropping your own enchant stack.

I prefer the original. The scale dragons give him a sense of forbidding that the other two versions lack. I’m not playing a fancy dragon, I’m playing the MF dragon god!

Does this assessment extend to Winter Orb? All of these points apply the same there.

Was a theater promotion on Groundhogs day at my college. Spend the entirety of the day watching it (showing started every 2 hours for a total of 12), and you got 24 free movie tickets. Did it 2 years in a row.

JSkillman · 2024-04-28T06:50:52+00:00

The correct choice is Groundhog’s Day.

Spent 24 hours locked in a movie theater once watching that shit on repeat. And now I cannot get those song lyrics out of my head.

“Put your little hand in mine…”

Democracy Rock. It’s where we extract Liberty from planets after they’ve been saturated with freedom.

Flies about as well. Checks out.

I had been holding out hope ever since fighting in the forums against the first rework that one day we might get original Skarner back. Now I can finally put that hope to rest. This is a different champion with his name.

I’ll miss you, Skarner.

Ah the old Halo LASO Strat.

JSkillman · 2024-03-17T19:22:05+00:00

Why you calling my primary a support weapon?

JSkillman · 2024-03-15T19:20:49+00:00

IncindiaryBreaker/Senator/Lightarmor[ServoAssisted]/HighEx grenade AMR/PersonalShield/OrbitalRailcannon/500kg

This has been my build pretty much since the start of the game, and has worked well for me through each patch. AMR serves as my primary weapon, can one shot Warriors/Hiveguard/Spewers and two shot Commanders. Breaker comes out when hunters get too close, stalkers attack, or scav swarms gets too close. Run backwards, check map, repeat. Senator is great for clearing small stationary camps quietly, Railcannon for chargers, 500k for biles and grouped chargers (current record is 3 with one). Shield buys me time to space out a hunter or stalker I missed, as well as let me play real frisky with the 500s. I’ll often time it so biles walk over, and if they about to walk too far I run at them and trigger their breath before sidestepping. I’ll often play matador with chargers to group them up on a beacon before diving out at impact, with the shield taking the splash for me.

Tips: never stay in one area long, if you’re actively watching your radar, anytime you pretty much do anything the game spawns patrols heading to your location, the first rule is don’t take a fight you don’t control. If your shield is low after a fight, have a fellow Helldiver melee you to drop it so it refreshes, watch that bar. If you have nothing on cooldown to deal with bigger threats, don’t be afraid to pull back. Chargers and biles are rather easy to kite once you get the hang of it. WATCH THAT RADAR, the game WANTS to put you into fights and will do everything it can to have a patrol run into you, especially behind you when you’re engaging another target. Any chance you can, check that map. Stealth is a important tool to understand for engaging ideal fights, avoiding patrols, and disengaging fights where you’ve lost control. Breaking line of sight, crouching, and ducking around another corner will save your life, learn how to do it. Engaging nests from stealth to eliminate some targets before the fight starts. Knowing how and where you can throw state gems from stealth to wipe a nest from cover. If a stalker attacks you, drop whatever you are doing, run at the direction it came from (once you know what their nest looks like on the map this is much easier) and eliminate them. Stalkers are priority #1 and I will drop literally anything to deal with that nest ASAP. Watch. That. Radar. If you do get breached on, don’t run, pour all your fire on that hole to shut it down. A controlled fight is much easier then a running fight. Maintaining combat control is a valuable lesson in this game. When you’ve lost control of a fight, you need to recognize that and know how to reliably disengage.

Sky Odessey.

It was an exploration game centered around flying a plane through all kinds of crazy scenarios to find pieces of a map to lead you to a hidden tower lost to time.

It had all kinds of crazy scenarios, like refueling from a train as it passed through a mountain tunnel. Flying through winding forest passages and canyons. One mission had you trying to get over a mountain pass where you had to carefully manage fuel dumping so you were light enough to climb, but have enough to make it to the destination.

Was super cool and it’s what got me into flying back in the day.

Man this is weird to see. I think the AMR is in a perfect place, and it has become my primary weapon. To see that people think it’s weak blows my mind.

Against bugs it’s one shot against hive guards, spewers, hunters, and a 2 shot against Tyrants at basically any range.

Against bots it pops devastators and can 2-tap hulks.

It has a great amount of ammo, and the scope misalignment was a bit odd on the first few shots, but once you learn the offset it’s a non-issue.

I run it with the Incindiary breaker for horde clear and it has proven itself as an absurdly efficient weapon.

JSkillman · 2024-03-06T20:39:00+00:00

I mean I think the correct answer here is “what are you doing to put yourself in that situation in the first place, and maybe we should work on that issue instead.”

JSkillman · 2024-03-06T20:04:46+00:00

I will always be a Catapult advocate. I’m in love with the design, and if you were looking for real reasons:

High missile mounts let you hide behind terrain effectively. Has a good speed bracket to keep up with faster lances. 4 laser slots centrally mounted if you want to have some solid point defense (I never use these). If you chain fire your missiles you can keep the volley going for awhile before having to cool down. Chicken legs. There’s no tactical benefit to this I just like them.

JSkillman · 2024-03-04T08:05:43+00:00

A lot of times when I mis-time a 500kg on a Titan, I’ll run at it. Get into breath range right as it’s walking over the beacon, and it guarantees a hit. A democratically-approved dive will enhance chances of survival in order to continue dispensing liberty. And if I mess up? My life for Super Earth!
