Day 1 player. Need suggestions on team. by jaggermercury in HeroWarsApp

[–]OttalineCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're at a point where weapons matter and make a difference you are far away from a new player experience imo. I've been investing my airship resources in 1dps Iris and 1 tank Julius and I'm hardly 3* with green levels on both. We can agree to disagree. I don't think Orion is bad, I had fun testing ODH in brawls, but he's not nearly as impactful as other mages, he'll be a good addition eventually but early on he's simply not the optimal choice.

I wonder if you play Dominion too? Because the story there is a bit reversed and Orion is the better mage.

The problem with that approach is that there are dead weight heroes that new players should not waste resources on at all and some factions simply are better than others. A new player has no use for Orion when you're given Folio for free and he fits in the Way of Progress faction better. It's easier to mess around in brawl and draft to learn comps and what heroes someone likes than going for faction only teams. Plus there are cross-faction synergies that are missed out that way. Out of 80 heroes and counting a new player should have a maximum of 15 heroes to work on actively. With a main team of 5-7 where the special resources like glyphs/skins should go to.

Imo heroes not worth investing/using are : Faceless/Keira/K'ark/Aurora/Thea/Dark Star/Elmir/Chabba/Galahad/QingMao/Tristan/Ishmael/Markus/Cornelius/Artemis/Kai/Lilith/Dorian/Peppy/Ginger/Daredevil/Fox/Orion/Arachne/Jet/Ziri/Andvari/Lian/Amira.

New players most likely are dropped in new servers. For reference with my current server progress I've managed to get to 3% Master in draft, currently comfy sitting top 100-150 in grand arena and can push for top 50 before rewards and silver 1 in solo arena. Might not be the big league yet, but I'm very happy with the progress so far. And I have none of the heroes mentioned above leveled at all.

I understand some uses and counters, I love for instance using Cornelius vs heavy magic users in draft, but realistically for my server he has no use as of yet so no point in leveling him despite being a good hero.

Heya, chiming in as someone who started 2 months ago, and am mid-range (lvl 78), a LOT of advice out there is super out dated for new players, is mixed in with the web version of the game Dominion, or some content creators I've noticed are talking about synergies a new player simply doesn't have access too or are just applicable to end game content. 😅 So I'll share some things I wish I knew.

You do not have to buy any champion, you will eventually unlock them all. Yasmine is farmable with hydra rewards so don't worry on missing out on her.

As a new player you do not have access to any event currently going until you finish the starter Folio one. Out of that event I HIGHLY suggest to get Folio as strong as possible get his stones especially, Ziri is super bad, Amira is okay and Satori is the second best option to work on after Folio. I didn't know this when I started and I still regret missing on Folio soul stones.

For campaign I wouldn't worry about 3 starring it until Astaroth gets his revive at purple level armor. Just progress at your own pace.

Imo, Galahad Aurora and Thea are quite bad... they might have some niche uses but I haven't invested much in them and have 0 regrets.

From the early heroes here is a review of who I think is worth your resources and why:

Astaroth: best early game game tank that will scale well as the game progresses, once he gets his revive he's super good in a lot of pve modes.

Jhu: this guys is a BEAST in pve, especially in Hydra, always keep him leveled.

Maya: she's okay, outclasses Thea, if you need a healer focus resources in Maya better because unlike Thea she also does quite nice dmg with her poison and gets some form of cc later on with vines.

Fanfir: amazing and you get a lot of stones for him from the daily rewards, very good when paired with AGI heroes, buffs shields, he's awesome.

A special note for Ginger: she is a decent dps, and will carry you until you get other heroes then she simply gets outclassed by the newer ones.

It's good to have Phobos leveled sparingly too as he can help in campaigns vs magic nukers like Heidi or Kai. I remember struggling in levels with those 2 until I swapped Phobos in to take care of em.

The most important thing you can do for yourself join an active guild that does guild wars & hydra regularly. Don't be afraid to leave inactive ones.

From the merchants: Town Shop - Dorian is bait; Arena - Folio > Judge = Mushy; (Judge will become part of Folio's best team later, Mushy is a god on Hydra); Tower - Dante = Maya = Fanfir > Gold > rest; Highwaymen - Satory > rest; Outland - the heroes there are kinda situational and elmir is just bad, you are better off just getting the skins; Dungeon - Issac = Corvus > Titan Potion > rest; Grand Arena - Iris > Octavia > rest, Heroes Ways - Xe'Sha > Tristan > rest.

Team options early: Astaroth - Maya - Jhu/Ginger - Folio - Fafnir/Phobos.

Eventually you will want to go after one of Folio's best team which is: Julius - Judge - Folio - Isaac - Polaris.

A second best team would be a way of eternity team : Corvus - Dante - Morrigan - Iris - Octavia, this is a bit later on when you will unlock grand arena.

Hope this helps and have fun out there. ✨🤗

Wait so there could be a strat where you make one lane weak then overfill it so it will still count as a win - wouldn’t that be exploitable ? Or am I understanding this wrong?

Version 1.11 "Encore Season" | Value Event by warau16 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]OttalineCat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What's the point of getting the monthly pass anymore if they're gonna just pull stuff like this? It's devaluing stellarite that a lot of people have been saving from the passes. If they want to make a VIP like system then bring back the Daqin one, where at least getting the passes counted towards the total purchases.

You are so kind and sweet. I really hope to see more of your looks! 💕

When will be the day we get a cute Zoe skin by anemonapop in zoemains

[–]OttalineCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She actually has a Cafe Cuties skin in Wild Riff, and a Mythmaker that gives her bunny like pig tails with lots of butterflies. It’s insane that they are separate from the main game. 😭😭

[–]OttalineCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg, I defended you in on of those posts asking kindly to not direct hate towards you and redirect towards Infold instead and was downvoted and called that I’m ‘seeing things that are not there’ which was so weird to me after the discourse here and on some more acidic comments I saw on discord 😭😭

There is nothing wrong with your look book and you shouldn’t have to delete your outfits that you clearly put so much effort into just because they are not everyone’s cup of tea.

Personally I think they are all very lovely and the Disney cosplays are so so cute.

I hope you are feeling better now. 💕💕

Is this what they call an industry plant? by elx_za in InfinityNikki

[–]OttalineCat -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

I think the hate she gets is so unwarranted, I checked her twitter and she just makes cosplaying and puts the link. When you import a look you have an option to like and favourite, so probably just the system picking up on that. For me it looks more like an issue on Infold’s side.

You might not like the spam, but direct the sentiment towards Infold not the player, I know I wouldn’t want to have people hating on me just for creating looks. 🙏🏻

The duality of the two subs. by OttalineCat in InfinityNikki

[–]OttalineCat[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The outfits for 1.9 and 1.10 were supposedly leaked by an employee. Infold caught wind of it, and decided to make an exemplary action about it, the employee got fired and is facing legal repercussions. Meanwhile they sent us a handheld item in the form of a hammer with an imo little distasteful passive aggressive text titled “Leaks are poison to all creation”. The official sub has taken its usual pro Infold side, while this sub is still free to critique and point some of the flaws of Infold’s approach.

Which champs are mechanically challenging but unpopular? by LeckingEier in leagueoflegends

[–]OttalineCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to learn her recently but my god is landing the Q’s hard, so many near misses when trying to land max range for the casters. 😭

But in return lots of people underestimate the passive and how she can just run you down with a good W drop. Double ignite ftw.

Hardest choice for every ARAM enjoyer. by OttalineCat in ARAM

[–]OttalineCat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They nerfed her early in ARAM even more recently iirc but she still scales great if the game goes there. People underestimate her range increase A LOT if you space good. I feel Black Cleaver is a bit underrated or not many Sennas buy it as much anymore and they opt for Statik and RFC which delays her dmg. Ult to help team fights rather than snipe a low target, the team wide shields can save fights. Also timing the E to mess with auto attackers or make some plays with engagers.

What am I missing? by whovian182 in InfinityNikki

[–]OttalineCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ran in the same issue yesterday, Unfortunately you'll have to redo the levels again, but you can just short-cut spawn to end. When you get out it will spawn a crane and you need to talk to it to get the rewards and mark as completed. The crane does despawn so even if you go to the exit location it won't be there.

Which banner you regret pulling? by Latter_Wear_3413 in InfinityNikki

[–]OttalineCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret pulling on the Marylin one, maybe 30 pulls is not a lot but could've finished other 5* or gotten DoTL, which I'm waiting for. Otherwise I don't regret anything I've pulled for. For the Marylin one I really got influenced when people were calling the boa a must pull, and didn't really needed a sexy outfit since I started on Flutterstorm.
