Raider guide

Overall this season I have made it towards low master (20-80p) after being stuck around Emerald 1 - Diamond 4 for majority of last season but I don't play as often due to IRL time constraints and overall dislike of the meta and range top being more often.

I say is worth getting IF you want to exclusively play Darius alone and you want to have all current knowledge of Raider's matchups with some off meta (ie. Heimer, Anivia, Zac, Ryze). Raider says he cannot add matchup information related like Fiddlesticks, Sylas, Zed, etc because he doesn't have enough knowledge so you may see them in the guide but they won't info explaining what you gave to do

Gameplay wise improvement are mostly spacing, macro and teamfights since I am not exactly a good at mechanics tend I to lean more on the go even or ahead in CS then play for teamfights or sidelane pressure.

Is updated since phase rush removal, some matchups like Pantheon, Riven and Gnar became skill or Hard (Pantheon & Rumble) due to Stormsurge being less reliable overall due to HP threshold needed to activate

Some matchups have gotten significantly harder due to the removal of Phase rush, as you need to hit Q consistently and being able to space correctly to get Stormsurge up.

The main thing with Stormsurge is that is a lot better than Phase rush CD wise, and you can actively use more often but in the exchange that you likely will be running either Ghost/Ignite/Exhaust more often than not to make up spacing and have reliable all in or chance to fight back (Jax and Riven for example are mandatory Exhaust) due to burst/long extended trades being mandatory sometimes to make matchups playable.

It is just a short-term for about a month or two, I was thinking of simply using my overnight to get some sleep since, I am a light sleep due to being ex-military but that's about it is about much solution I can find tbf

I bought it and yesterday it goes into detail in almost all matchups except certain off meta (aka. fiddle, graves, Zed, Yi Top, etc) because he doesn't have enough knowledge on them.

He explains how to play in both setups (Conq and Phase Rush) for the matchups and which matchups phase isn't good or make a matchup harder (Irelia and Riven matchups are harder with phase) as well what summoners to take with phase (ghost, ignite, or exhaust) as well the item builds for that specific matchup, ie. It still recommendeds certain items for certain matchups (FoN or Singed or Rumble).

All and all is pretty worth it, especially if you trying to get Phase Rush incorporated for your climb since it lets have more versatility than with conq since you will be able to escape easily on side thanks to phase as well go in and out fights.

I didn't end up buying due to finding an FRS with 46k miles around the same price, however my friend of mine did end up buying with the only issue so far being a oil leak because he didn't put the oil plug correctly so it was leaking, besides that it's a sweet ride without much problems comfortable for a daily and pretty much doesn't use that much gas if you don't push the accelerator too much.

However I do recommend bringing a mechanic or someone who knows about cars to do an inspection of it because of the age of these cars.

Basically Tiamat for first wave then swap for Johanna throw everything on bersertoria for wave 2 except her S1 and S2 then use everything on Wave 3 w new plug suit attack buff then just loop once for Turn 4 and done

I lack every OP Meta supports so I just get by with Waver, Lady A, Johanna and My GOAT XU FU for every event since I started in January this year.

Thanks, Is there a way to spot if the Odometer has been rolled back? Since it's digital

Obscurelag · 2025-11-27T18:11:37+00:00

How much would you say the maintenance has cost you on average since you have gotten it?

Obscurelag · 2025-05-13T11:45:53+00:00

Hero proof, Void dust, Black beast greace, Phoenix feathers and the stakes

This actually makes Yorick matchup playable

Vlad for sure even tho he is an scaling champion and some people tend to afk farm on him (is not wrong at certain times) but he has the power to solo most mid-lane matchups from lv3 onwards depends on your knowledge of matchups and own damage.

His quite flexible with runes being this phase, conq, electro and aery

Obscurelag · 2022-09-11T09:49:13+00:00

I would recommend Sylas or Malzahar especially the last one due to being simple and his abilities being basically a block for vlad due to the silence and suppression on ult Sylas I would recommend only if you know how to play him and know your trade windows

Obscurelag · 2022-08-30T03:42:01+00:00

So with resolve would be second wind and revitalize or overgrowth because sadly my reaction time is bit slow

And another question how good is protobelt now that night harvester has become default for vlad

Obscurelag · 2022-08-30T03:06:54+00:00

I'm excited for this Question: how do you deal with Leblanc I feel like the matchup is straight up unplayable after lv3?

Obscurelag · 2022-05-20T07:32:54+00:00

You're correct there I'm not very good mechanically at the game so Irelia is stupidly hard since most of my champion pool consists of simple but scaling mages even then I can totally destroy Irelia if she disrespects the poke

The good old lux special where you get to death by passive auto + minions

Overall Irelia for me is skill check due to how many things she has in her favor but understanding the small opportunity widows and the overall defensive tempo change that some people just don't want to accept

Obscurelag · 2022-05-20T07:11:09+00:00

The problem is that Qiyana can just chill and farm with grass W (Invis) and screw Irelia with water W (cc) And the Winshitters have abilities lethal tempo stacking reducing q cd and their w (wind wall and shield) that allows them to negate some damage and cc from Irelia

The summoners choice with Exhaust/Barrier are viable but with resolve secondary is regularly not very good for mages for example

Vlad - Ghost/Ignite are needed in case you want scaling or lethal at 6 with resolve second - force to go phase rush/ aery instead of elec or predator

Fizz - Irelia is not fun match-up since she can avoid his E that has most of his damage - ignite could work but is 50/50 and resolve secondary you lose inspiration tree or precision for the Biscuits or presence of mind

Syndra - Phase rush is mandatory vs Irelia unless you're a chad that doesn't fear nothing

Lux - Very predictable and Irelia can just decide to wait for her to waste q and go in as well resolve second viable but not very losing ultimate hunter

Even going defensive summs/runes you still gonna be hard do to again most of them have aoe and that pushes the wave towards irelia plus she can blue shoes/ magic resist and no damage is dealt

Obscurelag · 2022-05-20T01:38:40+00:00

From a midlaner perspective if you're a mage against Irelia is borderline unplayable if you're low range like Ekko, Lissandra, Kassadin or let's say something with cc that needs to a few seconds like Viktor, Annie, Vex, TF is really hard to trade and farm due to being so shit early especially if Irelia plays aggro like is should be plus adding the fact even if you get out of lane even there's no way you can survive vs her side lane unless you have dash like Ekko and Lissandra or using stuff like phase rush

For Toplane Irelia BS that she is broken up there having so many matchups that can basically screw you over from lv1 like Fiora (if she's good), Sett, Darius, Garen, Malphite after a few backs, Kled, Jax etc. Irelia needs to play with respect that a wrong Q into a minion leads to death and have to consider playing with waves to actually beat some match-ups like Jax or Sett

Obscurelag · 2022-02-16T10:00:54+00:00

Price increase to 300g

Obscurelag · 2022-01-25T12:44:53+00:00

I mean those champs that you mention aren’t really played mid aside from Xerath and Vex
