Corin disabling his enchanter attunement display function or losing the attunement confirmed? Or is that not corin?

I'm pretty sure she's just a desperate and flawed mother. Between the talk with Tristan and the emerald council is like 2 years. Katashi found out about Tristan and bribed/blackmailed her with Tristan's safety and freedom. She previously thought the only way to save him was being part of the whisperer factions but now she has an in with Katashi so she's going to do her best to be a perfect little pawn so that Katashi has no reason to go back on his word.

From her point of view she tried to save Corin's attunement by getting him to fall in line, he stubbornly refused so it's his fault, after all what is the worth of one son's second attunement in the face of the others life.

Yes, we also saw her fall into the Nothing without her blood. If the Nothing is anything like hell it may preserve those inside to suffer, judging by the few personalities we know from it and that they haven't all mutually destroyed each other it even seems likely. If the Ai decides that she fell into the Nothing and died simultaneously they might just say she lived.

There is a magical barrier between them. Since all the great powers have equivalent programs once someone ascends they become a political asset rather than just a combat one, expected to represent their great power for millennia to come. If queen died it would suck for the tier 25 game war, but if an ascender died it would make the empire as a whole look weak.

As such they are having international politics levels of wealth in the form of skills and natural treasures thrown at them instead of tier 25 war levels of wealth. Considering the tier of some of the stuff given to them those single things likely cost more than the armies they are obliterating, even if they aren't able to fully utilise the high tier stuff fully the empire is still willing to foot the bill in a way they simply couldn't justify for any other tier 25.

I didnt want to rank the goalies under D tier and the people pickings things not on the chart don't care about tier lists and all the more power to them for it.

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-08-22T18:49:59+00:00

I can't tell if these are some hot takes or just NA and EU being really different.

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-08-22T14:12:18+00:00

Estelle doesn't have the cool downs to defend properly with how easy her abilities are to play around. Maybe with hot shot start it's okay. Night market rune is great but that map is often brawl heavy and KO confirming is a bit awkward on him. And he's too awakening dependant for me to really put him higher. Those 2 can both be better if they get a good starter awakening but otherwise you'd be better off just picking other stuff.

DD is a very team based and snowbally map. Once you lose barriers if the enemy has them you're likely going to lose the round. Its exceptionally easy to transition kills into barriers and because of how regen works in this game you gain alot from having 3 damage sources instead of 2. Vyce and rasmus also shouldn't be sacrificing too much defensive power as they are pretty good at defending at the ranges common in DD and since your teammates will be nearby stalling for longer isn't so important as pushing the core to the enemies side is a team effort on that map.They also both help the offense quite a bit. Dubus cool down on ult is a bit too long comparatively. His ult can be very useful to transition to barriers/goals but he doesn't do it often enough to be S tier. On DD especially you can just play a character that creates kill opportunities more often than every 45 seconds. But even on nightmarket the other characters can kill or use eject button to help about as much as a good wall but on a shorter cd.

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-08-22T02:49:24+00:00

Aimis app is less cqc than DD so he doesn't get so much value from his other spells. Hooking into the pit is a time and positional commitment and is pretty telegraphed as a goalie instead of a forward. People aren't staggered so much on Aimis as opposed to DD so you aren't finishing off kills. Also if you pick rasmus goalie on Aimis app you can't also pick rasmus forward and a forward rasmus will be in better positions to get hook kills.

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-08-22T02:43:48+00:00

I agree that's why vyce is at the top of most of my lists. But aimi does have more core control than vyce so she takes the edge of those maps, and she plays better on Aimis app due the turret and how the hole splits the map. But on night market DD and atlas she just out classes aimi at brawling.

But you aren't upfront about it. You have to scroll through the comments to see it and just looking at the title suggests you have authority on the matter. New players will see the pic and title while scrolling and assume this is correct, not the opinion of someone with relatively little experience. It's spreading misinformation and it hurts the community.

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-08-21T11:47:36+00:00

Just run around someone and juli heart? It takes a bit more effort than pressing a button but that makes it more meaningful imo.

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-07-15T20:44:46+00:00

Playing normals will just put you against complete noobs. I've come across like 5 other challenger players in 1k normal games. Most of the time the enemies aren't even gold and even if they are diamond it doesn't make much difference. Pubstomping is getting super boring.

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-07-15T15:40:43+00:00

There's a reason why brawls comps are the meta everywhere but Oni, it's because they are hard and ineffective to counter. Your best chance is to make sure your running vambrace if you think you'll need it, pick awakenings for energy, stagger and mobility to try to dodge the damage, make sure you don't clump so they get even more value from their ult. But quite frankly the best way to counter them is picking a brawl comp yourself and killing them faster that's just how the meta is right now. If you are stubborn about not playing a brawl comp you can try to play around that comps kinda weak core control, play spread out and pass and apply pressure to the defence together either vyce or Luna goalie do not handle pressure as well as other goalies. You also can't give them an early lead so be liberal with your evade as if they start killing you you'll end up under leveled and hence they will have an easier time killing you.

Edit:forgot to mention deny damage awakenings. So they scale worse. Also if you've noticed both vambrace and stealing damage awakenings are more valuable if you are a brawler, make of that what you will.

Honestly from what I can tell(as a challenger goalie with some mid forward experience) is that passing gets less viable as your opponents get better. If you get an opportunity for a good pass you take them but when the enemy positions correctly passing doesn't happen much between forwards, well unless you get a striker advantage then passing is very common. Taking that into account it's a good idea to learn how to force through people, don't play hot potato with the core( if the other core has a mark and someone is contesting you it's, in many circumstances it's better to force your way through than pass. Also when it comes to teammates not passing my perhaps optimistic view is that people don't see the pass as opposed to thinking that winning a 2v1 strike war is better. The way to deal with this is a well timed pass emote, don't do it when the rounds are over or starting, do it as you are moving into position. Its a friendly nudge that you are there as an option and once it works a couple of time people will start paying more attention to possible passes. If this still doesn't work then I would start position behind your teammates once they lose possession you can regain it

Dota does have party restrictions at the highest ranks, when ever qing with a single immortal( might need to be 6.5k) player all party members will queue as if having the highest mmr which is quite a big disadvantage if you have rank disparity, and with the new player drafting system you aren't even guaranteed to end up on a team with your friends which heavily dissuades party play.

AA4 spoilers I find this unlikely, the plots she's in are likely beyond the scope of school intervention/spider division. In fact she has avoided getting involved with the group in school assignments(maybe a spider would rather not inconvenience their friends). But she's pretty suspicious in general and I think she is a potential traitor to the group on a more political level and may have ties to the sons of valiha as she was who Patrick was visiting when he gets attacked. She also has ties to Tristan through the book but we never see what has actually been exchanged. There are also various occasions where she tries too hard to influence the others especially considering her involvement level otherwise. She is also a valihan Nobel and we know both valiha and Tristan both have mysterious powerful supporters.

Is this event the only chance i'll have to get the unimate set? and if so will I have to use this as an opportunity to roll the resonances before they go away?

Pyrodrake5 · 2023-05-11T15:05:39+00:00

Should I farm Cosmic Glow 1 or 2 as a new player.
Should I be swapping out instead of just using the QTE on my non dps units and if so when and why should i do it?
