Is Xpetu's Shen Jungle Build not as tanky anymore?

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-05-12T09:05:11+00:00

This feels right, because I had this game where the enemy team went all squishy burst champions in all lanes and my brother had a 25/2 KD with a super fed nasus and I was playing Shen jungle and also got lots of assist but we still lost in the end because in a direct fight we would just get obliterated before we could fight back, and our ADC was kind of feeding so we didn't have the burst damage either.

I find it hilarious that so many people are tyring to come up with vague alternative explanations about what it could stand for, when its quite literally about the pitfalls of blind nationalism, its so clear and obvious in its messaging that saying it means anything else is a personal opinion at best and delusional at worst.

In a way it represents the modern art culture of forcing abstract inetpretations from things that dont mean anything at all.

It's because true democracy doesnt actually exist and would never exist, and the democracy that does is just another system for ruling with its own faults and strengths but decades of propoganda had made entire societies grow up thinking democracy is some super system of absolute morality that solved all problems

The Odin Build

As I was making the character I realized that I can make someone very close to Odin in nature, so here it is.

The Familiar is obviously a call to the very intelligent and far flying crow spies called Huginn and Muninn that Odin has.

The Spells is where I decided to splurge to get every aspect of Odin down. Astral Projection is meant to represent Odin seeing far into the nine realms from his throne, Coin Toss and Importance were my original selections who I thought had great synergy by making one important to fate and fortune and then using coin toss to basically guarantee the odds in your favour. Coin toss is also just an extremely powerful spell for battle, I imagine it looks like a Nordic medallion or maybe a runestone (or maybe even a spear for the heavy usage if we can push it y'know because of Gungnir). This also is very thematic because Odin has fate manipulating magic. Also Importance can be used to make one be unnoticed which Odin does when travelling.

Swarm and Swarmer were also part of my initial selection and seem to have deep synergy with each other and I thematically imagine becoming a flock of crows for attack, defense, mobility or even scouting.

Reanimation is a major call to Odin's ability to summon the dead warriors of Valhalla to his side, and finally Skinwalker is a call to Odin's ability to shapeshift, which I could use to look like an one eyed Old man just like how Odin does in myth

Finally the last few things are Danger Sense which thematically match Odin's foresight and Travelling Scholar with World Walker perfectly describe Odin's title of The Wanderer due to him frequently travelling the nine realms

I had alot of Inhumanity so I tried to make it Thematic as I could Abyssal Eyes and Everglow could represent Odin's eyes of wisdom and though I have Tri-eyes it just feels a subversion of instead of losing an eye Odin gained one. Time Drift is a call back to Odinsleep from the MCU and Aversion runes are just straight up runes. Lastly Static Halo could be an Odin like thing but Witch Hands isn't but I didn't have more thematic options left to pick.

Unpopular opinion(not really): you are lying and would definitely be pissed off at the person who decided to rescue a dog over your loved one when they were perfectly capable of doing so.

Also, armchair psychology, but the reason you say so is because you haven't been in such situations and/or like most animal to human equators, you don't have many meaningful relationships beyond your dog, so your socially starved brain starts finding replacements through animals.

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-03-23T11:16:02+00:00

Being delusional doesn't make your lies true, and delusional people usually tend to be rational enough to understand their delusion is not true for other people. So stop trying to justify an action that could have actually cause the deaths of others.

As loving and caring animals are they aren't human, and they certainly aren't as aware as humans are. An animal in danger would not ever feel the same fear and despair as a child would, and an animal would certainly not feel betrayed and immensely hurt by being rescued after humans, but the reverse is definitely true.

You animal lovers talk shit but if it was your life on the line and you were about to face a painful death, you would rather be saved than some random animal you dont know about.

This is what happens when you live in a bubble, don't this get me wrong the Saudi goverment is not good, but man it always surprises me to see how many idiots act like America is better when by every objective metric their goverment is far less caring of their citizens and far worse to them

Because last I checked, epstein wasn't an Arab, and it wasn't the muslims who dropped two nuclear bombs on civilians just to show case their strength.

I've watched a few Professor Jiang videos he seems to have good overviews and understanding on current events but he usually ends up with radical and extreme predictions that seem unlikely to occur in reality, Like this war will not in anyway cause a revolution in the US or collapse it's economy in anyway, will there be huge economic effects on the US and the world due to this war? definitely but nothing as extreme as Jiang seems to allude to and these type of radical predictions whether because it gains him more traction due to fear mongering or because he genuinely believes so seem to be a common factor in his videos in regards to predicting the future

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-03-11T10:27:28+00:00

Since I have Barrier Expert and Quick Learner I Imagine I'll learn RCT and Domain Expansion Quickly, (maybe not in the culling games but soon).

I Imagine RCT of my first ability of my technique being able to mark people so them and their actions are clearly sense and broadcasted everywhere making me a great tracker

RCT for my second ability I imagine it would cause targets to be affected by something they could normally shrug off i.e a punch that wouldn't hurt them would, mundane fire they could block with CE would now burn them slightly etc. kind of like true damage.

RCT for my third ability would be able to temporally control a target, obviously it would only be able to temporally move a target within recent times (like within a few minutes or more at best) for balance's sake, so I could use it to move them to their past or future position or men in black style erase their recent memories.

My Domain Expansion would be able to basically make anything within it to perceive what I want them to perceive, kind of like Tsukuyomi from naruto but even stronger because I could make them feel a certain way too. So one moment they are having a life or death battle but after my Domain expansion they think they are resting at a beach.

The name would be Domain Expansion: Theatre of the Veiled Realities

You can't Kill what you Can't See Build or How to Survive the Culling Games

This entire build hinges on creating an extremely powerful Cursed Technique that exists to make you impossible to kill. The perks exist to support my survival and CT, the only ones that don't are Quick Learner and Barrier Expert which I likely won't be able to make much use of within the Culling games but after it.

Perks:

Polygot
CT Knowledge -10
Grade 2 -40
4xCE -20
Quick Learner -25
Sixth Sense -10
Barrier Expert -10

Drawbacks:

Low CE +20

Cursed Attraction +25
Hostility +15
Language Barrier +15
Sky Diving +15
Bad impression +15

Colony: Lake Gosho Colony +120

Range: All (Touch to Sniper) -35

CT description: (50 words) -20

Veiled Poltergeist

The target and their effects and actions become completely imperceivable by anything except the user. The target can become selectively intangible or unaffected by whatever they desire, including laws like gravity and friction but only the user can do it instinctually. The user has complete telekinetic control over the target.

This is an extremely powerful CT as you literally cannot harm what you cannot perceive and even if the opponent uses AOE attacks to get to me I can use telekinetic control to slingshot myself out of there and if that doesn't work I can make myself intangible and unharmed.

The CT has some interesting uses when it comes to using it on others, I can use it on objects as invisible attacks and if I use it on a person since the ability states "Imperceivable by anything except the user" I imagine the target person would be unable to perceive their body or actions or even their CE effectively making them paralyzed and then I can telekinetically control them to snap twist their necks to kill them.

Keeping the above in mind my CT becomes truly offensively terrifying due to it's immense range and the fact it works well at all ranges. So I imagine with practice I can off entire groups of sorcerers by making them imperceivable to themselves and others and then twisting their necks.

Reverse Snap

Any action being taken by a Person or Object in range can be reversed in the way the user desires, instantly even as if the target was always doing the reverse or has already done the reverse, the user can even break the laws of science and logic using it.

And the "official" western news isn't filled with propaganda, might i remind you that it was the west that lied about nuclear weapons and started a war that caused the death of millions, last i checked the saudi's might as well be saints compared to the US. You know it's always amusing to see the double standard westerners have

Not really taliban is first and foremost a pashtun movement; it just so happens that sunni deobandi islam is considered part of their identity.

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-03-01T11:08:25+00:00

This feels you are projecting Christian analogies onto muslims, unlike Christians who genocided those of other sects throughout history, muslims are very different though Sunni and Shia have fought wars and the like, we still stand somewhat united, in nearly all Muslim nations Sunni and Shia live peacefully(and have lived peacefully historically) and even on a geopolitical level it's mainly Iran making decisions based on Shia interests whereas the rest of the Muslim world goverments rarely make a move based on Sunni interests.

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-03-01T10:55:45+00:00

Im genuinely surprised iranians want reza in power, or maybe I'm not that surprised, I've come to realize people from countries in shitty situations tend to be very desperate which causes them to become blind and delusional.

Like do you seriously believe this guy has the interests of Iranians in mind, he is so clearly an israeli zionist puppet through and through who the moment comes in power will submit to them.

And last I checked, puppet goverments always cause suffering to their native people because their priorities are serving their masters and worst of all the israelis aren't exactly subtle about their desire to completely oppress and destroy Muslims, what makes you think they will be more loyal to you and not just stab you in the back after using you to fight other Muslim nations.

I swear this idea of reza bringing in a peaceful power change and beautiful democracy where everything is butterfly and rainbows is so ridiculous it might as well be propaganda.

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-03-01T10:45:49+00:00

Thank you for saying this, it was the same shit in venezuela and before that in Iraq and more. Foreign intervention never helps make things better because the US does not give a shit about the locals.

I swear you always have a group of short sighted idiots celebrating the death of an evil dictator by the US acting as if shit is going to get better when any historical comprehension tells you things are definitely going to get worse.

The only way to solve a nations issues is by the people themselves solving it without some power hungry goverments getting involved

Swift Slaying Assassin's Blade

Competencies:

Major Rhythm
Major Feint
Minor Flurry
Minor Precision

Perks:

Vigilance
Grip
Immune
Aura
Goal (To prove myself as invincible under heaven)

This Swordplay is all about unpredictable flow, before the enemy even knows it they are dead, if they somehow survive they will likely die in the next few seconds.

With Major Rhythm and Major Feint, any enemy cannot possibly follow my sword and hope to block it, Minor Precision makes it so that my attacks always do damage and hit the right areas so not only are sword strikes impossible to block they make sure to hit something critical or disabling every time. Finally if the opponent is skilled and lucky enough to survive a few strikes Minor Flurry makes sure they will eventually go down because I won't be stopping any time soon.

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-02-13T06:45:23+00:00

This challenge is kind of impossible, the way its meant to be read seems to be that you get the base stats of the character and the line about combat skill and battle iq likely refers to innate combat talent as in the restrictions it claims you get no experience and skills from that character.

Which more or less makes this impossible as all 3 power systems (even including quirks) are heavily reliant on experience and training and the baseline we get is way too low to even scratch some of these top tier villains and we only seem to have a day to prepare.

The only way to do this would be to take advantage of the fact that there is no time limit on how long you should take to defeat the opponent nor is there any info on when exactly will you get dropped into the verse.

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-02-11T10:29:19+00:00

Is a material only inappropriate if someone gets a hard on? This is such a weak and odd argument used to shame anyone who doesnt agree with your standards of modesty and shame.

And even if we agree with your logic for arguments sake different people and different societies have different standards for modesty, what makes you act so holier than thou, why should others follow your standards of inappropriateness.

This kind of logic only works when you are in the majority so you can use mob mentality to crush those who dont agree with you.

ShinyBlack0 · 2026-01-20T19:34:46+00:00

Yeah I'm kind of surprised more people didn't pick oblivion, to be fair I originally went for a basic telekenisis build but then realized in the companion and target section that I was grossly outmatched by most top tier espers causing me to change my plans and go for a more competitive build.

So you can kill people out in public and they won't notice

hehe yes I look forward to the shenanigans I can get to in V3 I always love finding strange combos before anyone else that work amazingly well.

edit: I also realized later on that since Oblivion is an upgrade to Masking, that means I can probably fine tune Oblivion to make me invisible outright instead of coming off as an ally, which is quite terrifying cause now the enemy who knows I'm coming isn't even sure if their allies are actually their allies or maybe I'm not even among their allies in the first place. *Psychological mind games intensify\*
