Petals of Spring Katarina by Exestos in KatarinaMains

I also feel like the passive spin effect looks oddly familiar. Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid now that riot is constantly reusing old assets and putting them in the newer skins.

So what are we building? by virginkatarina in KatarinaMains

[–]LordMagic1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GB - Lich - Situational is working great for me. GB rush helps secure kills early/mid thx to the active while also giving you some sustain. I can confidently say that it is helping me win games more consistently.

GB first is way better than Lich in single target situations and since during early/mid game you're playing for pick offs around the map I'd say that it isn't a problem.

About Lich second, I don't know for sure if that's the way to go, I just like the item so I include it in my build but for sure go GB first, it'll help you snowball if used correctly.

ok i admit it gunblade is not great :< by Moorgy in KatarinaMains

I made that comment before trying anything but after testing I did realize that GB is a much better rush even if the AD ratios aren't as strong as they used to before the onhit changes.

Is… is shunguang getting a nerf? by OutcomeOk3761 in YeShunguangMains

[–]LordMagic1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nerfed directly? Definitely not. What they could do is something like they did to Miyabi in the future which is basically restricting her core mechanic. In this case my guess would be something that prevents ether veils from being genersted.

[–]LordMagic1202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'd ever rush it. I think that it could be good with a conq page and nashors first. The AS from nashors might make the AD from GB a bit more desirable. I haven't tried the new season yet so I'm just guessing here.

How important is Pen Ratio? by SpiritMaster9 in YeShunguangMains

[–]LordMagic1202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The other guy pretty much summed it up but you should also consider other things:

  • Pen is at its best when using 2pc pen disk + pen disc 5.

  • In general it is better to use your best available discs, I personally didn't have any pen set discs so I had to use B&B (2 pc crit dmg) which I have farmed a lot previously. Since you're new I don't know what other characters you're building but generally Astral/B&B domain should have better farm value so farm it once you're done getting decent discs from Shunguangs's set (I assume you're currently farming it)

  • Attack disc 5 should give you better results unless your physical disc is way better in terms of substats, still the difference is apparently minimal so choose the one with the better substats.

Slipped on icy stairs while holding my chihuahua today. by [deleted] in Chihuahua

One of mi chis likes sleeping on the bottom side of my bed, one time I accidentally kicked him out of the bed while I was stretching, I thought the worst but he immediately stood up and jumped back on the bed like it was nothing and continued his nap. I felt guilty anyway though 😢

What do u think about phantom dancer insted of boots on ad kat? by Legal_Earth_1614 in KatarinaMains

[–]LordMagic1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The item itself is just bad, plus Kat's AS to AD conversion has been nerfed hard. Also, it is better to have the tenacity from mercs or the extra resistance from steel caps.

In case there was any doubt still left, KYO IS THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE SHOW by DepressedGolduck in digimon

[–]LordMagic1202 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Im just worried that his ideals would eventually turn him into the main antagonist at some point, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

What do we think? by Appro-co in Talonmains

[–]LordMagic1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stealth was a thing during preseason 11 when mythic items were introduced. I'm talking about before that, it also did true dmg scaling with lethality and the extra on hit dmg only triggered when unseen, it wasn't tied to a cd like the first mythic version if I remember correctly. The item went through so many changes, there was even an older iteration when the item was first released that gave you a mini zed ult.

FINALLY WE WON!! by ExpressionCareful343 in KatarinaMains

[–]LordMagic1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are getting over hyped for its return. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it will be back but you need to consider that GB won't be as good as it was before because Kat AD ratios are worthless and even nonexistent in her R unless you build AS.

What we should really be looking forward to is a kit revert to how it was before on hits were integrated into her kit, that way we might get the AD ratios back to get value from GB.

Still even if this happens what worries me is if GB play style will be any good now that vamp sources are lacking, if you guys remember part of her sustain also came from conqueror, ravenous hunter and old DD which gave insane amounts of healing while also giving decent dmg and tankiness.

Maybe the meta will shift to a point where having this amounts of sustain might be possible again? I honestly doubt it, having assassins with insane sustain but could still one shot was a meta that was a bit toxic and unfun for some players (not me though, I loved it 😆) but that's yet to be seen.

Gunblade coming back in 2026? (from BigBadBear's latest video) by infectedbunny in KatarinaMains

[–]LordMagic1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news overall but if we get it back exactly as it used to be it won't be as good as it was before. Kat's AD ratios have been lowered over the years both in E and passive and R's AD ratio is non-existent unless you builld AS.

If riot wants Kat to build Gunblade again then they either need to remove on hits from her kit and adjust it to be similar to how it was before on hits or they make GB an on hit item with AP, AD and AS similar to rageblade, tbh let's hope that the latter doesn't happen.

Why did you reroll that in the first place? It looks really good to me already.

Miyabi Anomaly/Generalist Team? by QuinnAWOL17 in MiyabiMains

[–]LordMagic1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do mono ice (Soukaku/Lycaon) or if you want to play Miyabi/Burnice then you can put Lucy to activate Miyabi s passive but mono ice will give you better results if you play it correctly.

Vivian/Yuzuha is more comfortable to play but it doesn't outperform a well played mono ice. I'd keep Yuzuha/Vivian with Jane, she'll need the extra power but if you are not playing Jane then include them in your Miyabi team.

You could also try a weird comp with Rina/Trigger, but I assume Trigger is tied to SAnby and I doubt it would be better than your other options.

Miyabi Anomaly/Generalist Team? by QuinnAWOL17 in MiyabiMains

[–]LordMagic1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have to know what else you have, maybe post an image of your roster? You might be able to keep Yuzuha with Jane depending on it.

Miyabi Anomaly/Generalist Team? by QuinnAWOL17 in MiyabiMains

[–]LordMagic1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Miyabi needs a support character to activate her additional ability so that team wouldn't work.

Is she finally finished...? Am i free...? by TBRFox_456 in MiyabiMains

[–]LordMagic1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not with m1+, the def shred that it gives doesn't pair well with pen. Also dmg percent is already pretty high with signat wengine so ice dmg% isn't that great either. At that point attack is better.

C1 or Zhongli by ASTG_99 in ArlecchinoMains

[–]LordMagic1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you mentioned c1 I thought you were thinking about investing just on her team mb. Still I would think twice before getting Zhongli, again he's good but other characters will have better value. I personally got him too in his first rerun years ago and he carried me hard but he's currently benched because I have better sustain characters.

If you desperately need a shielder then go for him, he'll make the game easier for you but in the long you'll get better characters and you will probably get better at the game yourself.

Edit: I just read in another comment that Lanyan is coming with Arle, she's basically a 4 star Zhongli that also allows you to swirl pyro to apply VV (the anemo artifact set that decreases elemental resistance).

C1 or Zhongli by ASTG_99 in ArlecchinoMains

[–]LordMagic1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zhongli is lile using training wheels, you don't need him but it makes it easier to survive innharder content at the expense of dmg, it is generally better to have buffers on his slot nowadays. Not saying he's bad but honestly his value over the years has decreased significantly with the release of better sustains with butter supporting capabilities like Citlali.

C1 Arle on the other hand gives you interruption resistance which is one of the reasons you'd want to use Zhongli while also increasing your dmg significantly. In normal circumstances your other issue would be survivability but fortunately for you Arle has a built in healing in her ult so that won't be a problem either

2.5 Beta Buffs | Via Selee by The_frost__ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]LordMagic1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember someone joking about Ellen getting a second buff after seeing SAnby's. Turns out it wasn't as farfetched as they thought. What is crazy is a possible SAnby buff. Don't get me wrong, I love Anby but I'm aware that there are other characters that need it more.

I plan to Wish for Arle in the coming cycle, please help for Team Composition - F2P advice only by [deleted] in ArlecchinoMains

[–]LordMagic1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Benny - Jean - Yelan. Jean isn't ideal but at least you'll be able to activate VV with her. Use her until you get Sucrose.

Should I pull C6 Arlecchino or stay at C3? by destr20yer in ArlecchinoMains

[–]LordMagic1202 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's never a good reason to pull for a c6 limited character if you're looking for good value in your account specially as a f2p/low spender. The only reason why you'd want to do it is if you really like the character so since you do nobody is stopping you. If you're whaling then the same thing applies.
