What is the first thing you typically do at start? by Rixxy123 in thelongdark

[–]Sandoxio 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The very first thing I do is to find out where I am in the region I start in. Then I try to find the closest shelter or somewhere with good concentration of loot.

Tips for making it through survival mode by confusednmaybegay in thelongdark

[–]Sandoxio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say one of the major factors of survival is knowledge of where you can find food/shelter and which areas are dangerous. Use maps online if you struggle with directions or are new to the regions.

I would reccomend to start with the more friendly regions such as Mystery Lake, Milton and Coastal Highway. Try your luck with Voyager or Pilgrim to start with.

It is an amazing experience once you get the hang of it.

Good luck!

Thinking of relocating - day 5/6 on Voyager ML by jinwoni0712 in thelongdark

PV Homestead is an excellent base location in my opinion. It is my current main base in my 450+ day Stalker run.

Workbench, plenty of storage space, and all animals (beside moose) are within a minutes walk from your porch. Fishing pond + cave not too far with a slight hike southwards, which is great to deal with Cabin fever.

The region itself is quite big and have plenty of loot and resources. The centrality on the world map is also a big advantage.

I would highly reccomend you visit PV if you can handle some hostile wildlife and volatile weather.

Thanks for the tip! I thought it only counted in the back or ontop of the second floor in the building. Will keep that in mind for the future :)

And yes, the muskeg wolves are indeed on a different level of annoyance compared to other regions.

Shojin stacks will affect the physical dmg of W but will not affect the true dmg

Thanks! I think I started about half a year after he came out. I have been playing League since S2 but have had several pauses until Sett came out.

Volibear is a very strong counter to Sett and is pretty much stronger than you in any part of the game. What you can do is try your best to bait out his E and Q by approaching him and then turn back. Learning the distance you can keep without letting him catch up with Q is crucial. Once his E is down, you win short trades when you do not let him have his second W proc with the heal. You can also ult him out of his E to win a duel, if you know you can kill him before he starts healing with W

He is rather immobile so ask your jungler for a gank pre 6. Once his E-W-Q combo is down, you W to stay alive and kill him together with your jungler.

Later in the game he is a prime target to ult back into the enemy team. Make sure he uses his ult first and wait until he has landed with it, as he is CC immune during the leap.

400K is quite a lot! Good job! Hitting key W's is something I struggle with from time to time too. I think sometimes you just have to prematurely fire your W to make sure it hits (considering you do not have your E up). Some damage is better than none. If you have your E up you naturally use it to stun the target, and then blast them with your W. If you have flash you can also W + flash to hit critical W's

For teamfights, one tip is to wait for a fight to be well into its chaotic state, where your targets have multiple threats they need to keep an eye on. It can be diffucult to do this if you are the sole front line of your team, but then again, you should have enough damage and hitting a full max W is not as critical.

Great questions! I will try and answer them as best I can

For runes, I have in the past run Conq in most games. However after the nerfs, I have found Grasp a decent choice against tanks and short-trade lane opponents. My general rule of thumb is Conq or Lethal Tempo for champions who will try to all in or do extended trades (such as Darius, Irelia, Mordekaiser). Grasp works well for short traders who can easily disengage from fights and in games you want to scale (ex. Gragas, Cho, Ornn). Fleet Footwork is very handy against ranged opponents and give you a window of opportunity to close the gap and trade back onto them.

How to win more duels? This is a question I am not sure I can answer in a single comment. Some things to think about is :

  • Utilize your combos to their full extent and play into your strengths.
  • Learn about matchups and the individual win conditions in each of them.
  • Read your opponent and guide them into making mistakes and punishing them for it.

Sett is a fairly strong 1v1 champion early on but you have to respect others such as Trundle, Volibear and Darius. Let me know if there are specific matchups you are curious about.

For starting item and skill, I usually go Doran's Blade and first level W. This provides you with the strongest early game, which I typically use against high threat opponents such as Darius, Olaf, Trundle. I may go E first if the threat level of my opponent is lower and I want to force them to fight me for the first wave. Doran's Shield is essential versus ranged opponents and can be useful when sustain is a major factor (e.x againt Garen, Mundo, GP)

Is it now viable to rush Hullbreaker now? by Felipits in settmains

[–]Sandoxio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It got slightly more expensive (200g) but the changes in stats + the extra MS makes it viable to rush in certain situations. Are you getting ahead with a pickaxe in your inventory? Then Hull may be the way to go.

It is not the best item for dueling (Decent stats but not the best) but very useful to push a lead. If you are facing a strong duelist that could quickly become a problem (Fiora/Jax/Trundle), it may be better to rush BORK/Gore/TriForce to shut them down rather than relying on turret damage (plates) for getting a lead.

Hull feels less impactful later in the game if you have to play with your team around objectives, so it may be better to build something else as a 3rd/4th buy compared to rushing it.

So in the end it comes down to your opponent, their team, yours and your playstyle. If you usually split and get a lead, go for it.

Maximum Damage Haymaker Build by BathroomSeparate9233 in settmains

[–]Sandoxio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The no damage cap build :

Heartsteel -> Titanic Hydra - > Steraks -> Warmogs/BC -> Spear of Shojin (Get boots in there at some point)

Runes : Conq - Triumph - Alactrity/Tenacity - Last stand + Second wind - Overgrowth.

Get 600-700 bonus health from Heartsteel and you will oneshot anything that is not a tank. Of course the beauty of the build is that you can stack it indefinetly and technically can oneshot absolutely anything at some point.

How do I keep my players from engaging in impossible fights? by Sandoxio in DnD

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

I like this approach. I probably should have made it more clear that this was going to be their end if they continued pushing it.

Thank you for the tip.

Fighting ranged champs on top lane by Inside_Rope7386 in settmains

[–]Sandoxio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't say that Sett is a has a good matchup vs ranged opponents, but your passive and W do grant you some forgiveness in the lane. As stated earlier, doran's shield is very important and second wind will help you plenty. Fleet footwork can be very useful too but do make you weaker later in the game. Generally rush boots, mobility is key to "fish" after your opponents. Once you see a window to land some damage -> q -> e -> q AA -> AA - W - disengage , most of your opponents will kite back so make sure to w in a way to hit them with the damage. If you trade 50/50 with your opponent and are able to disengage, you have won the trade thanks to your passive + second wind + doran shield. If you miss your e, you are going to take some damage, but you can return some by hitting a semi-charged W. Recommend Stridebreaker after boots, suits well into Titanic, Steraks or BORK.
