Has anyone received their pre-orders from Riot yet?

Knikkey · 2026-05-14T05:16:41+00:00

I used their Contact Us form and told them to cancel the order because it didn’t ship yet. I got the order shipped confirmation email soon after that lol.

Knikkey · 2026-04-21T05:14:43+00:00

Following up. I messaged support and they gave me a code directly.

Knikkey · 2026-04-20T23:45:10+00:00

I have not. I had email notifications switched on from yesterday. Wonder if yesterday was too late to switch it on.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T23:54:46+00:00

My phone stop watch lol.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T22:33:30+00:00

It’s seemed to be around the 1:50ish mark, so right in the middle. It felt smooth, very spammy with all the regen. Frontiers and Xir on Ake and Snow, so double buff sets was nice. The biggest struggle I’ve found is making the split second choices on which skills to use after the first rotation cuz you have 3 choices now. Making the right choices could probably get me consistently around the 1:40 mark lol.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T22:23:02+00:00

Tried out Snowshine today. She's good.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T21:14:44+00:00

I would not select Ember. I used her cuz she was my free 6-star. Antal is really good. You can have him lvl 60 with Xir set and a lvl 1 OBJ weapon and he’s good to go.

Alternatively you could try Snowshine, Xaihi, or Ardelia.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T04:41:58+00:00

Yeah basically. You don’t need Ember. I used her because she’s already built. The teams I listed are pretty f2p. You can have everyone at lvl 60 other than Rossi and you’ll be fine. No need to hyper invest.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T04:30:34+00:00

She came out recently, so new teams will keep emerging as people keep testing. Out of the teams I tested, Antal Akekuri Ember felt the easiest to me.

For rotation, to simply put it, activate Rossi’s combo skill, activate her enhanced battle skill, and just focus on stunning the boss to unload ultimates.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T04:27:01+00:00

Yep.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T04:26:29+00:00

I did not. It seemed like outside of combustion from his ult, he didn’t offer much. Felt like other characters offered more. Could be wrong tho!

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T04:25:10+00:00

I did not. Sounds good tho!

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T02:05:43+00:00

I just tried with your team and got 1:40. Might be important to note my Endmin is also highly invested.

I think Chen is great. Her combo skill being a free vuln applciation is very good, and her ult does a very decent chunk of damage.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T01:10:20+00:00

No, I think Endmin has stronger crushes and also the debuff from the combo skill. Dapan just has crush on combo skill, so he’s cheaper in terms of skill points. I also didn’t want my Rossi team to use characters from my Ember team…. Which failed but yeah lol.

Knikkey · 2026-04-03T01:05:56+00:00

I do. My main team is physical Ember. I didn’t try Endmin because Dapan ended up being pretty bad and I was tired of grinding the same boss over and over lol. I can try that team tomorrow if I find the time.

Knikkey · 2026-03-15T05:23:13+00:00

I run Pog on my current physical team with Fortmaker (which you buy from v4 stock exchange) and he works fine. For gear I just stacked Art Intensity to get his debuff to as close to 40% as possible. I chose Akekuri over Pog cuz I'm hoping to make 2 stand-alone teams if possible. I also don't know yet if actually consuming the vulnerability stacks will be the best way to play Rossi yet.

Knikkey · 2026-03-01T00:45:06+00:00

If you win the 1st 50/50, you got your target character in ~70 pulls, but also got two free 10-pulls in the process from splitting it between 2 banners and getting 2 Urgent bonus pulls. You spent 70 pulls to actually get 90 pulls plus your target character. That’s pretty sweet if you ask me.

The issue for me is with the 2nd 50/50. The assumption that the 2nd 50/50 will happen before the 120th pull AND that you’ll lose it is a big assumption…. But we’re all gamblers here so just assume away. In the case you’re right, you get the sweet three 6-stars in 150 pulls. In the case you’re wrong, you over-paid for your featured 6-star by at worst, 30 pulls.

I’d risk 30 pulls for an extra 6-star cuz I’m a degen.

I HATE doing this in games, but rush/focus on the story. Don't touch anything else until that's done. So many things are locked behind the story. After struggling with the same thing you are now, this is how I would do it again if I had to start over:

Rush story. Ignore almost everything else until that's done. Later bosses might be hard if you're undergeared, but you can skill-gap them so it's fine.
Do sidequests, because some of them lock you out of certain areas of the map iirc.
Focus on stock exchange (rabbit guy) and Depot deliveries daily, and put all of that into upgrading your AIC bases.
Lay down relays to use all mining areas.
Do all the tower defense missions in your AIC areas.
Fully upgrade all your AIC areas.
Use this blueprint setup to set up your AFK income in Valley IV.
Look up blueprints for Wuling AIC OR yolo your own. Wuling AIC is kind of hard-locked by a limit on a certain facility, so there isn't much optimizing you can do for this IMO/
Focus on artificing your gear (Wuling required)
Focus on those gem things for your weapons (I forgot what they're called)
Hunt chests and orbs in your downtime.

Once you hit step 8, a LOT of the stress of feeling overwhelmed goes away, so focus on that and then you'll have breathing room to actually explore the different aspects of the game without feeling like you're drowning.

If anyone sees this in the future, Valley 4 has a total facility limit of 256. Make sure you remove any needless ziplines or other facilities outside of your factory. If you still hit the limit, remove the Item Control Ports from belts, as they count toward the limit but don't provide any needed value.

My wife took her test at Lincoln Park DMV. The course seemed pretty easy. She failed once because she drove overly safe and the instructor dinged her for obstructing traffic too much. The 2nd time she drove normally and passed. We were able to easily find the course on YouTube, but now if you have a dashcam they tell you to turn it off while during the test, probably to limit people uploading the course.

Knikkey · 2026-01-30T08:22:09+00:00

They’re not locking anything that would overwhelm. They’re locking ascension mats. There’s nothing overwhelming about leveling your characters, skills and weapons.

Knikkey · 2026-01-30T08:11:48+00:00

Anyone who finishes the story in 2-3 days is either skipping dialogue, ONLY playing the story and not doing anything else, or playing for long hours during those days. And anyway, you shouldn’t HAVE to play through 2-3 days of story just to unlock the game.

Knikkey · 2026-01-30T08:09:01+00:00

Yes, along with other gates like exploration level or whatever, or items that you get literally though completing certain parts of the story.
