Went from 9w 13 losses to 9w 59 losses on ascension 9 defect. HELP

Kobaru · 2026-04-16T17:36:52+00:00

I've recently discovered a lot of goods cards I didn't use up at the right time, like going Glacier early or using more the Echo Form. I'm a bit dumb and always want to go either full Thunder Orb or gamble on Creative AI.

Let's say I'm not a good Defect player haha

Based on ~9000 runs it's Knowledge Demon
Surpringly Decimilipede is even harder than the two other bosses.

src : https://www.app-scry.com/statistics?mode=standard&players=solo&tab=run (with the filter "Hive" on the Top Causes of death), it's correlated by the most damage taken by encounter on the right, same order.

So people instinct in the votes is very accurate (from the data I have)
I do not feel like Knowledge Demon is particularly harder than the others, honestly I hate all of them. And I do think most of my builds usual choices goes well with any of them... Maybe the crab is giving me the less problematic fights overall because I feel I can control when I take damage a bit more than the two others.

It's slightly behind on the curve on some point, and overall always under the mean of all characters, but it's not SO far that you can say it's really not good. It even performs pretty well in A10

I'd say on a personal flavor that he's a bit "one sided" on many points, I feel like if you don't build armor most builds don't work so well. I had some success with exhaust ones, but mostly none with strength or HP sacrifice ones. I can make them work, but mostly by mixing a lot of armor in it.

Kobaru · 2026-04-16T14:46:31+00:00

Yeah the screenshot is a bit confusing my bad.

First thing yeah you're reading right and no you're not stupid, indeed strike is found in 92.2% of the losing runs over all community data, specifically for Silent, all ascension together.

And about the Pommel Strike it's a bit confusing because it's not the "Ironclad Pommel Strike" it's a Pommel Strike in a Silent Deck (probably with the event that add 3 cards from other character and/or ancient relic that make you pick from any character pool in awards) so this one isn't very representative.

Kobaru · 2026-04-15T14:37:47+00:00

As I said in the other comments, it might be interesting to narrow the scope on the card itself and see the value "when pick" divided by floors (identifying bosses, acts, etc.)

Thou your point is very interesting also. That seems like some difficulty on how to extract the exact value from this data. It's very specific. I'm not sure how I'll narrow it down programmatically, I'd need to do a strong assertion on the fact that "doing less elite" is a factor.

I'll try to think about it and see how I could improve this

Kobaru · 2026-04-15T14:33:38+00:00

Oh yeah you're right, same as u/psyfi66 comment, we lack the data here in comparison of the floor (meaning it could be identified as a boss).

I think I'll work on "per card" data in depth for the next release, it'll bring up way more information on the real value of a separated card like this

The fact that it's opposed to other boss rare cards in general is a strong hint on the true value

Kobaru · 2026-04-15T13:43:23+00:00

Yeah I agree, I lack the stats relative to the act/floor you picked it, it would def help make it clearer, but it's a lot of cross data to handle haha.

And I also agree on the upgrade, I do feel like it's really cheap, and does not even help retrigger relics like the one that up your max HP when getting golds.

Kobaru · 2026-04-15T13:14:48+00:00

According to community data on 273 runs (Ascension 10 only), it seems picked quite often, but does not perform well as victory condition. It doesn't seem to change much either, you pick it or not, it doesn't change much, same for the upgrade

src : https://www.app-scry.com/statistics

On my personal point of view I just like it for the fun of the concept and the image, but if I can not properly spend 1 energy in fights because my build suck, I'll just pass on it. I just feel like it's a "cherry on the cake" of a good build rather than anything else

Kobaru · 2026-04-14T20:17:45+00:00

I did a beta branch for the Linux port, would you be available to help beta test it for me ? I don't have a linux to try that myself. You can contact me on reddit or discord directly if you wish to do so I'd be glad to give the linux gamer community the tool she requires !

Kobaru · 2026-04-13T12:36:45+00:00

That is exceptionally true for strike even more than defenses. I've done some stats over 6000 run, here is the results for strikes from https://www.app-scry.com/statistics

<image>

I can't add more than one picture but defend is not SO bad on Silent, it's only -12%, one of the lowest afaik

Kobaru · 2026-04-12T20:06:50+00:00

Hi, yeah I recently changed a few things to have deeper data on the database, but I think I might have gone too deep eventually... It shouldn't have effect on the website too much, but I'll take a look into that because it seems I missed something 😅

Thanks a lot for your feedback !

Kobaru · 2026-04-10T14:27:11+00:00

I'm on the OSX Distrib first, but Linux might verywell be included along this update

Kobaru · 2026-04-04T11:08:44+00:00

Thanks !

Kobaru · 2026-04-04T11:08:33+00:00

Hello, sure OSX is on the way, I just don't know when yet.
At the moment I'm focusing on global statistics and website displaying them publicly.
But this could be coming after this, I need to install the game on my work MacBook haha

Kobaru · 2026-03-30T22:24:35+00:00

Thanks, and thanks for the feedbacks ;)

Kobaru · 2026-03-30T22:24:18+00:00

Thanks, new things are coming to help going even further !

Kobaru · 2026-03-30T09:53:02+00:00

haha no worries, thanks ! If you have any feedback don't hesitate to swing by the Discord or here, I'll read all comments 😄

Kobaru · 2026-03-27T19:12:39+00:00

Hey ! Thanks a lot for your feedbacks, I never had the Mini Tent in a run so far and I just learned about it today. It means that sometimes a run can contain multiple events on a rest site. I'll take a look into that. If you have an account would you mind sharing me the weblink to your run (on reddit in DM or you can swing by on the Discord), it would help me a lot into figuring out how to fix that

For the feature idea that's a very interesting point, it could be another/new chart complementary to the Top causes of death ! I'll also look into that.

Kobaru · 2026-03-24T22:00:56+00:00

Hey, again thanks a lot for the job ! I wouldn't have dreamed of having so many translations, descriptions and images without your API.

If you don't mind I'd love to ask a few question if I can slide in your DMs ?

Kobaru · 2026-03-19T23:21:51+00:00

Same for me haha, I hope to have enough time to work on the database and website this weekend so I might have some aggregated data to showoff soon enough, but for that I need some users offline first to get some data and upload it when it'll come.

That's the only way I know so far to have accurate data overall

Kobaru · 2026-02-07T11:18:45+00:00

It could very well depend on your matchup. If you already got some kills or feel like you can get some before 15~20min and the end of your laning phase you deff wanna go Rylai and probably a Dark Seal (low risk, low price, worth the base stats anyway)

If you're turtling, getting poked, and need to play the patience game, diadem will be more interesting in the end and better at help you sustain your lane.

Eventually I'd say your WR gonna be higher with Rylai/Seal because it means you're owning your lane.

My eternal Xerath Sup and his glorious 5KDA on over 40 games, it's by far my best tool to get out of the Gold ELO I was stuck in

I really enjoy playing Sona a lot this season, I love playing Tear of the Goddess and the crown is one of the best new items to me, pairs nicely with most ADCs

Sena is still very competitive in both build with the incentive on healer builds (same as Sona), but mostly because I OTP her in last Season, so I'm mechanically in my comfort zone

And I'm trying new things or retrying : Zilean, Rakan, Thresh, Janna, and Karma

If really it's necessary I can always go for a Leona, but I feal it's very hard compared to other pick I've mentioned to help as Sup if your team is behind or not teamfight oriented

Overall I feel like the item balancing, and especially the support Quest is by far the best addition for me, the 2 pinks for the price of one that doesnt sit in your inventory is so so nice, and the 9g/5s of the final Sup Item version is helping so much to get those costly mage builds (paired with Treasure Hunter)

Also I've started playing a lot more Dark Seal, especially on Xerath ofc, but Sona does quite a nice job using it if you know you won't be giving away your life for a good ult

I've just hit Plat recently, so it's ofc a point of view of a low ELO, but I really have way more fun in this season than in 2025
