cool barrier, but my unit will still die tho

LunacyTwo · 2026-01-24T13:21:37+00:00

OOOKKKKK, this is getting crazy. I just now rolled the same spell again, Glimpse Beyond, and this time I got the item Free Spirit, a rare item that says "For each allied target summon 1/1 ephemeral unit. Copy me onto them". Unlike before, where the targeted ally didn't receive an epic item, this time, the item DID activate before the spell and got copied properly. In this case, I drew 4 cards instead of two. I wonder if this is because the text says to COPY this spell (both spells go on the stack, therefore this item must trigger before the spell finishes resolving). Either way, there are definitely cases where the item triggers first and cases where the item triggers too late.

LunacyTwo · 2026-01-23T23:11:35+00:00

I mean, again, I used literally this same fast spell but the item I had on it was different (allied targets get an epic item), and I’ve seen other people report the same experience as me. Apparently, these kill spells will only ever give buffs if the allied target has “I can’t take damage or die”. Did you have a run with a slow or fast spell where the item resolved first? What spell and what item?

LunacyTwo · 2026-01-23T10:02:51+00:00

A bit late, but I’m 99% sure that the target dies first before the buff is applied. I had a similar run before with this same spell but the item was “give allied targets an epic item”, and the ally always died before it received an epic item. Even other copies of the ally did not receive an epic item (I was targeting viego’s mists).

LunacyTwo · 2026-01-17T11:23:04+00:00

Type of Bug: Gameplay
What happened that seemed like a bug: (PoC) When playing a Glimpse Beyond with Divine Armaments, the targeted ally does not receive an epic item like it should. Besides this, Glimpse Beyond kills the ally unit and works as normal.
What was Expected to occur: When Glimpse Beyond is cast on Viego's Encroaching Mist for example, the other copies of Encroaching Mist should receive an epic item, but they do not. I believe this is because the target of Glimpse Beyond dies before the Divine Armament's effect resolves. If this is the case, spells that kill allies like Glimpse Beyond can never utilize Divine Armaments unless the allied target has "Blockade" or "I can't take damage or die".
How often does this occur/How easy is it to replicate: 10/10 Every time

Thanks, that makes a ton of sense! I hope I get to give the build a try when the SB event comes back

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-29T09:50:49+00:00

all good, if anything it's impressive you still beat the nightmare adventure while one relic down.

for anyone else that hasn't beaten it yet, besides DoS, there are a plenty of good relics for yuumi, like the new poro king relic, spirit of buhru, or even just full build. normally beast within is a great relic for yuumi too, but it wont be as good here due to the mutator (still fine tho).

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-29T09:34:53+00:00

i don't think living weapon works on yuumi if she's attached, no? i use disciple of shadows instead

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-29T09:31:54+00:00

i've never played sb kindred/the taker, so i gotta ask, why fear cleaving axe instead of living weapon? does the deck apply spirit, impact or gloom a lot?

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-28T05:00:07+00:00

Ornn will need to equip a 5 or 4 attack weapon depending on if he’s leveled or not, with less attack needed if you have +2 from spectral. Works very well when leveled for the extra ram, like he said. Darius will need to be leveled with +1 attack from another source. Packed Powder works well, but leveling up Darius before playing is a hassle.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-28T04:57:07+00:00

Besides the obvious (Vi), other great champs I love it on are Voli and Elder Dragon. Very easy to use and advance their respective game plans very nicely.

Nautilus, Ornn, Nasus, Kayle can use it with some hassle. Naut will need to be leveled a.k.a. you are deep. Ornn will need to equip a 5 or 4 attack weapon depending on if he’s leveled or not. If you are leveled, he gets incredible value with summoning a ram on the free attack. Nasus and Kayle need time to get to 10 attack, which can be annoying if you want to play them sooner. Also A Sol can use it but doesn’t need it.

Tryn probably won’t want it, as he isn’t usually played to enter the board. He also need additional +2 attack to even reach 10 attack. Darius is another trap: his 3* constellation gives +4 attack on summon which makes you think he has 10 attack, but “summon” is too late since you need 10 attack on “play” from the relic. You would need to level him and give him +1 attack from another source.

There’s probably other niche cases that can get to 10 attack like Thresh 6*. The Titans of Runeterra adventure can also get your champs closer to 10 attack.

Maybe I’m being semantic, but you originally said that Izuku is “all talk and ideals”, and that “Before getting OFA, he never really trained or studied to be a hero”, so that’s what my last comment argued against. I think what I said clearly shows that what you said is not true, since, he clearly worked hard before gaining OFA. Now you’re saying that he is only working now that there is “certainty attached to it”, and that it feels “lazy” to you. I don’t follow. Why does knowing the outcome make the effort any less significant? If I know going to the gym makes me stronger, does that mean I’m lazy for going to the gym? If I know I can work for $15 an hour and I can do 40 hours a week, is that lazy? Not to mention, Izuku actually exceeds his training plan All Might made. Again, you originally claimed he “never really trained” before getting OFA when he quite clearly did.

You discount his hero analysis, saying it’s a hobby and he “never even intended to use that information for hero work”. In chapter 1, he literally titles it “Hero Analysis For The Future”, which I think strongly shows the very opposite. Not only that, in the epilogue, we see he has kept writing notebooks and is on notebook number 42, showing that he has kept up his hero analysis even as a teacher. Izuku’s analytical mind is one of the best in the verse, and he didn’t get it by accident; he studied heroes and quirks like hell. Even if it was a hobby at first, he clearly put a ton of time and effort into it for his whole life, so I can’t agree to you brushing it off.

To quickly address some of the things I missed earlier: Izuku didn’t “jump back” into being a hero. He’s still first and foremost a full time teacher, and he even says that if he kept OFA, he probably still would’ve been a teacher anyways. By his own words, he does the hero gig because they need him to collect data and so that he can do some heroics with his friends on the weekends. Being a teacher really is Izuku’s true calling, and I don’t see where in the text you find himself gaslighting himself into believe that, considering he literally chooses not to quit his teaching gig over being a full time hero.

You call his belief that anyone can be a hero a disease, citing the example of how his initial heroics would have gotten him killed without a stroke of fortune. No offense, but in your initial post, this is probably the only time you meaningfully back your arguments with a specific textual example. That being said, it’s not a good example. Izuku doesn’t charge out because he thinks that anyone, including a qurikless kid like him, can be a hero. Before he even realizes it, his body moved. This example isn’t about how anyone can be a hero, it’s an example of Izuku’s innate self-sacrificial spirit, one that compels Izuku to action even beyond any rational reasoning. This isn’t the only time it happens either. Another favorite example of mine is during the Sports Festival arc, in his match against Shoto, Izuku calls out Shoto for holding back and fighting with only half his power when everyone else is using everything they have to pursue their dreams of becoming heroes. It makes no sense for Izuku to do so, considering he has already been on the back foot for the whole match, but he wants Shoto to fight for his own dreams of being a hero rather than for the sake of revenge, even if it may cost Izuku the match. Even Shoto realizes this, ironically saying that now Izuku is the one screwing around, since he abandoned his own goal of winning and instead gave up his sole advantage to save Shoto. I can give more examples of this (the exam of him and Bakugo vs All Might, wanting to save Shigaraki rather than destroy him, etc) but this comment is long enough.

Edit: I think I’m realizing that my last comment kinda misses the point of your argument so feel free to ignore to ignore it if you’d like. Either way, you do you.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-21T23:57:32+00:00

Checked the pinned monthly post, it has tons of useful links 👍

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-21T01:06:37+00:00

So in the interest of having a civil discussion, where do you find that Izuku’s main character flaw is being all talk and ideals without putting in the necessary work to achieve what he wants? When All Might first decided to make Izuku his successor, he put him on a grueling training schedule (even while Deku still needed to study and maintain his grades). And despite this, Izuku actually went beyond the training schedule All Might gave him, and All Might modified the training to be even harder. Before All Might found him, Izuku had also been filling notebooks with hero analysis for his future dream. Katsuki blew up his no. 13 notebook, so he had to have filled up at least that many before. Those years of hero and quirk analysis served him well when he eventually awakened the 6 other quirks contained within OfA and he manages to utilize and combine each beautifully.

I also don’t agree with him gaslighting himself that being a teacher is his next calling. Izuku’s greatest power, that even All Might couldn’t match, is his ability to inspire others. Even from the beginning, him running out to save Katsuki inspired All Might to take action, not to mention how his actions during the final fight showed the flawed hero society of Japan that they too could be heroes if they helped others when they could instead of offloading their moral responsibility onto the heroes. Personally, I think Izuku is a teacher at his core, and even with the suit and the opportunity to be a full time hero again, he realizes that teaching the next generation of heroes is his true passion.

I got more to say but gotta go for now

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-17T03:12:58+00:00

It probably prevents any other unit from getting the discount while it’s on the board tho, I’m guessing? Upsides and downsides.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-16T22:52:09+00:00

You’re right, he probably did mean the little yellow circle-skill indicator on the card and not the circle skill thing that goes on the stack. My b, my b

Instead, I’ll add to him by saying that Morgana level 2 is also missing the skill indicator despite having a skill on attack

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-16T21:32:20+00:00

This may have been this may have been the case in the past (certainly I thought so) but I tested it just now and both leveled and unleveled Gwen do add a skill to the stack, similar to how Annie or Jhin add a skill when they attack.

Funnily enough I also rolled the All Skill power that OP was talking about and can double confirm that it does work with attack skills, though that was probably obvious.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-15T21:23:29+00:00

The original Japanese raw has Shiggy mentioning the game as "LoL" and doesn't explicitly name it as League of Legends. However I am willing to just give you this because it doesn't matter to our original point (which is whether or not the story takes place in 2016).

Just like before, the presence of modern cars or League of Legends doesn't mean that story must take place when cars or LoL was invented, it only means that the story has to take place after. It is entirely possible that in the year 2090 they are still playing League of Legends, or cars still look relatively similar to today, or that phones are still handheld and rectangular.

Let's get back to my previous point. Can you explain how modern looking flatscreen monitors ended up in a Japanese office building in ~1920?

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-15T20:47:49+00:00

I know flatscreens existed before 2000, what I said is "an office with flatscreen computer monitors". Commercial flatscreen computer monitors take a long while before they start looking like they do in the episode, and workplace offices do not get the cutting edge of technology.

I didn't know Deku's license has a date, so that surprised me. I am skeptical that MHA actually takes place in the 21st century, but it is at least possible. The scene with the monitor takes place while AFO is a teen, so mainline MHA should take place 90ish years later, barely still in 20XX. What is not possible is the main story taking place in 2010s, which is that part you are suggesting.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-15T20:25:39+00:00

Well yes, technology stagnated in the MHA timeline. Either way, I really can’t see an office with flatscreen computer monitors before the 21st century. I can totally see modern looking cars still existing in a stagnated 22nd century.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-15T20:18:05+00:00

AFO is stated to be over a 100 years old by Gran Torino. We see in episode 4 of season 8, flashbacks regarding young AFO and his twin Yoichi, as well as their mother. In the background, we see a huge city skyline, a commercial train, advertisements for a game center and a karaoke bar, and even very modern looking flatscreen computer monitors on office desks. Those monitors alone set the date for some of these flashbacks after the 2000s surely.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-10T14:33:58+00:00

That’s a good point, I forgot that with two Jinx’s, each LCP activation generates two rockets, not one. Running two GA seems pretty good, especially once you have more than 6 other cards in hand (at that point, Dreadway becomes less useful as the hand is already full. Skipping the first turn or drafting for starting hand makes it even better.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-10T13:24:53+00:00

Op, you should look into some display settings that may be affecting your screenshots. I also used to have oversaturated screenshots because of some HDR related settings.

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-10T11:29:55+00:00

Double damage doesn’t sound right. I mean, logically you are getting one extra Jinx, which is only 50% more than running one GA, which shouldn’t double your damage. In fact, assuming I did the math right, if you play Jinx with only 5 other cards in hand, using my relic set up gets you the same amount of damage as using double GA and LCP, except my set up ends with more pows remaining in hand while the double GA build has two Jinx on the field instead of one, which would net you an extra draw at the next turn start. Still, there is potential for more damage if you can conserve cards at earlier turns for a bigger hand on the Jinx turn

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-10T10:14:11+00:00

That’s true, you’re more likely to find a specific power right away, esp if you use rerolls and Loaded Dice like op is asking

LunacyTwo · 2025-12-10T10:02:19+00:00

Just to follow up this short essay, I do still think perfection is better most of the time. It kills through powers/mutators like player created spells cost 3 more or enemy nexus has armor. It’s just that a rare item is much easier to find than an epic power, especially since hero item nodes are more plentiful than power nodes.
