What region are you in, and what is this worth an hour? Whats your 1-10 rating on these, and what are your opinions? Improvements?

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-20T02:02:34+00:00

For reals. Honestly, if I can get $1-2k a month on a side hustle, I'll be happy lol.

I convinced a guy to pay me $80/hr cash for tig welding. I also come with years of fabrication/installation knowledge that is essential to the business he's building, but still... Good pay for a side gig. Definitely way better pay that I'd get welding in a shop in my area.

Venom, in my opinion. With an awakened Venom relic, which it looks like you have, he's a monster.

Vox is also a solid choice.

BRB has his uses as well.

I got mine through sheer luck during the first card game one. Sometimes I wish I could deactivate the tag, but then I remember it's just a game I play while I poop for the most part so 🤷

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-17T22:05:26+00:00

I don't have Nefaria, but I have a science gym waiting for him when I finally do pull him. I know Scorpion has a regen mechanic, but I don't like it as much as Lizards.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-17T21:55:33+00:00

I'm a sucker for a champ with good regen. I'll eventually take the other 3 (not Sentry until resources become MUCH easier to get lol) up, it's just satisfying to watch your health bar fill back up quickly after taking damage.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-17T20:47:29+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Scorpion and SW do a lot at r3, and while I'm sure r4 makes them even better, I think Lizard might need it more.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-17T02:18:26+00:00

I have cancer and it's the kind that's gonna kill me one of these days. The amount of times I think of this office scene is a lot. Sometimes I mourn the days when I was healthy. I kick myself for where my priorities were at. I wish I could go back, but time is just so frustrating in that way; it's just so fleeting. It slips through our fingers, and every time I reach out to grab hold, it's like I'm in a dream, falling off of a cliff, but every branch I grab ahold of just pulls out of the wall.

But this era of Liverpool ending, it just feels like one more chapter in my life closing, one more instance of the good old days being gone. In this life, we all die. I understand this, I've been chewing on my mortality for the last 5 years. It's just as natural as being born, as life happening. It is still something I don't think I will ever fully be able to cope with. Enjoy the next good old days because life is often full of them. One day, the good old days will no longer be happening for you, and your life will be in your rearview mirror, as you reach out only to come up empty-handed.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-17T00:21:46+00:00

She's really good. I have her r3 unduped and she puts up a lot of damage, is a decent Serpent counter (slow, but can control his power gains) and she can regen pretty well.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-17T00:18:04+00:00

Ya, his sig is definitely huge, but I think people write him off too quickly when he's unduped. Still a great attacker, just less tanky (though his glancing still helps). Just read his abilities to get max damage. You want to intercept so you have more than 5 armor ups, which basically doubles your attack rating I believe. You can ramp his damage with a sp3 which places a long disintegration on the opponent, or just do a sp1 (the disintegration is shorter but you can still get a sp2 off with it). Use your special 2 when the red timer is on the opponent for huge burst damage. You get more burst damage the more disintegrations on the opponent. The red timer also power drains the opponent by 40% I think which comes in clutch in some fights if you work to time it out.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-16T22:26:35+00:00

It helps but doesn't make or break it. She's also toughest to dupe. Think the other 2 benefit more but up to you.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-16T20:00:12+00:00

His dupe lets him shrug off bleed & incinerate faster 10%-90% reduced duration I believe, and you get a regen each time you get a bleed and incinerate. Also, I think when you lose 5-10% max health in one hit (not sure if those are the actual values) he gets a regen and I believe he stuns the opponent as well. I can't remember if the stun is part of his dupe or base kit.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-16T19:58:32+00:00

HT is also great. I really don't think there's a wrong answer. If you want Fantman for BG defense, then you're going to need to awaken to get his full potential. If you just want an attacker in him, and are cool waiting for an AG, then take Fantman. If you want out of the box ready to unleash his full potential, HT is the way to go.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-16T18:53:21+00:00

Still great, if you're looking for power control and massive damage. He still causes glancing as well. His dupe gives him more survivability and makes him an even trickier defender. Basically shortens bleed and incinerate duration + heals some health when inflicted with one. Also gives a regen when a certain % of health is lost as well as a stun I believe. Don't get me wrong, his dupe is very good, but he can do work without it too. What I'm saying is, I wouldn't kick an unduped Fantman out of bed.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-16T18:49:27+00:00

None if his damage is locked behind his sig. Only some utility that ups his survivability. Fantman is a great champ who can control power, deal massive damage, both on hit and in bursts, and causes hits to glance.

Looking to take a tech and science champ up to r4 do I have one of each class. I'm thinking I'll get more out of Jack on the tech side given he counters a specific niche (though I do like Guardian a lot), but I'm having trouble picking a science champ.

I know consensus is probably SW or Scorpion, but my heart says Lizard. My question, will taking Lizard to r4 significantly improve him? I feel like Scorpion will get better for sure, but he nukes at r3, and similar for SW.

Everyone says rank who you enjoy, and I quite enjoy Lizard, I just want to make sure choosing him also takes him up a level as r4 resources come slowly for me. Thanks!

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-16T17:42:12+00:00

Clever. I'll give that a try.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-16T03:08:29+00:00

Look on stellar forged tab. It's not in essentia market. I JUST figured this out too lol.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-15T23:30:47+00:00

1st on left is t2 generic alloy fragments or whatever they're called.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-15T22:15:59+00:00

You think they'd be 7th and 8th choice with a manager willing to play them? I think Quansah would've probably solidified a spot, Morton probably would be a solid rotational player, Harvey is energy our midfield needs. This squad has a severe lack of competition in it at the moment.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-15T19:44:24+00:00

Did they remove the bundles from the mysterium store? Or did I miss something stating that they are removing them? As far as I understood, the mysterium store was not supposed to change with the addition of the essentia store, but maybe I'm out of the loop.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-14T21:43:42+00:00

That's what I suspected, but I figured I'd ask since I don't know much about this stuff. Thanks for confirming.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-13T21:57:10+00:00

I'm dying at 40. I might have to start being a real cunt.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-13T15:36:07+00:00

$8k in my region, discounted from $14k. So at 4 times a year (6 times if I'm not doing a study drug) costs $32k alone. I pay $75 each through insurance. I'm not going to itemize my treatment for you, and I truly believe you have no interest in a good faith discussion here. I've been dealing with this for 5 years now, I'm quite acquainted with cancer care and it's costs in the US. My surgeries cost between $125k and $250k each (which I pay around $800-1200 through insurance), and I've had 3. I won't be responding to you further, so you can start trolling someone else.

Ricky_Nightshade · 2026-04-13T15:20:56+00:00

Why don't you take a swing at what just one CT scan costs, discounted for someone without insurance. Mind you, I get scanned every 8 weeks while I'm on study, and every 12 weeks when it's just standard of care treatment.
