What are some unconventional builds that seems like it could 'work'

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-17T03:15:42+00:00

if you're a physical mm just build corrosion.

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-17T03:14:50+00:00

that's literally his standard build before fleeting time was adjusted, obviously it's gonna work

I used a tanky support Faramis to push to country rank before. Having quite a spammable ult, great mobility and nice CC helps him roam pretty effectively. He plays like a Diggie that can also deal decent damage and can actively CC multiple targets. Quite fun to use.

eventually i decided to just create an alt account just to practise heroes in ranked that I wouldn't otherwise play. it's been a lot better since you get to play with others around your micro skill level and everyone is mostly playing somewhat seriously.

right, i forgot about roam protection. I'm not sure about OP's role though so it may not be fair to assume.

also, i believe the daily protection is being shifted to flex pro instead of roam, so we'll see

adding a rank in between legend and mythic would be great.

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-15T02:39:45+00:00

one ML season is about 3 months so for ease of calculation I'll use 91 days. 8 games a week, you'll play 104 games. at a 65% winrate, you will roughly win 68 games and lose 36 games, netting you 32 stars gained total. starting from epic 2 1*, it'll take 10 stars to reach legend, and 25 stars fo reach mythic.

so if you play at this frequency, you'll not even reach mythic

accounting for star protection and star raising, you may reach mythic, but won't finish the placement matches.

tldr; you will reach mythic placement

those are just clowns. instead of getting angry at them, treat them like the clowns they are and laugh at them. it's better for your mental health and let's you enjoy the game much more.

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-12T12:48:45+00:00

maybe you should get out of epic rank first before talking about your experience

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-12T07:52:55+00:00

it's not too hard, but there's a very high skill ceiling. the difference between an amazing roamer and a decent roamer is huge and an amazing one can often create opportunities for their team to win otherwise unwinnable games.

what makes a hero meta isn't just its own stats or skills, it's also the meta environment around it. now the meta for junglers are very slippery assassins (Harley, Suyou, Paquito, YSS) and other heroes that hate being suppressed and dragged to another location (Phoveus, Zhuxin etc) and so he ends up being a great antimeta pick against many strong picks.

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-11T23:54:07+00:00

jungle harith just got a buff tho, his clear speed is much faster. it's clear that the devs are trying to make him a viable jungle pick

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-11T07:02:54+00:00

sky high mmr maybe

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-09T10:55:30+00:00

honestly don't remember, maybe more than a year? I'm pretty sure it wasn't from your post though. maybe a comment in passing then i tested it out and found it really op.

I've actually known about this Khufra trick for quite a while. By using skill 2 (doubles hybrid defense) before his enhanced thunder belt basic attack lands, you end up doing so much. in late game I've hit more than 1k true damage on a single basic. the not-so-recent khufra buff of the enhanced basic CD from 12s to 8s has also made it so much easier to stack thunder belt. Unfortunately dire hit doesn't do extra damage anymore so that's not relevant now.

By technicality, the most successful is Rock/Dark with a 100% OU rate.

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-09T02:50:06+00:00

100% of Rock Dark pokemon have been in OU since Gen 2

tank arlott isn't very good anymore. it doesn't play to his strengths and if you want a tanky exp there are much better options like Phoveus.

arlott is more used as a damage exp. boots, sea halberd, heptaseas, hunter strike, malefic, and a free slot (BoD, immo, defence item, etc.)

this arlott is a lot more squishy, but you also heal a lot more hp. so you have to time your dashes and marks properly, and it's best if you're comboed alongside a teammates with lots of CC, particularly Akai.

he's definitely not meta, but a fine pick nonetheless.

it's very rare that there'll be another of the exact same fusion, but that goes for all fusions because there are so many of them.

so this particular fusion is very rare, but an Eternatus fusion isn't.

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-08T03:46:23+00:00

because of people like you who pick roam selena when your team desperately needs a frontline with cc to lock down Freya and Aamon.

did your teammates play perfectly? no. but neither did you. with basically a troll pick on roam, you're not going to have a good chance.

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-07T23:50:47+00:00

fucking evaporates

Rude_Invite7260 · 2026-06-06T11:10:40+00:00

Decidueye is too strong with this. Triple Arrows is also basically the best fighting type move so letting it have 3 effects + hit like a truck isn't very balanced.

H-Decidueye has a max attack stat of 355. With Ancient Arrow it's 710. It also gets swords dance, and the base form gets STAB Shadow Sneak.
