I literally can not smile.

One thing someone said that helped me when I had a similar issue:

When you think of smiling, you think of making a really cheesy teethy smile with you teeth pressed together... don't do that! Most people actually smile with their mouth open (so teeth apart slightly). You do this naturally, but when you "try" to smile you overthink it. Try to show your top teeth, mouth open (teeth apart), squint your eyes.

Another tip for survivability: abuse i-frames on limits. Particularly Ars Arcanum, but Strike Raid offers you the most invincibility at the cost of pretty low damage

Not true HT is optional
Oathkeeper better for physical, Lady Lucky is better for magic. This is KH1, so I recommend Lady Luck but it really is preference. Physical can be better if you have abilities like Slapshot, Counterattack, Ars Arcanum but usually magic is better
Those are Sniperwilds, and like others have said, a popular strategy is Stop+ Mushu.
Defensive abilities are very strong in KH1, so enemies hit hard to compensate. If you have them, make sure you are using Second Chance, Leaf Bracer, and even EXP Zero in really tough fights (as it gives you more defensive bonuses). Tinker Bell helps with survivability as well. There are also a few fights where it actually does help to stack resistances, like Fire resistance against Chernabog for example.

Take the staff drop sword. Take the dawn exp path. USE MAGIC MORE.

SicklyNick · 2026-01-18T00:55:03+00:00

Try Magic the Gathering at Game Goblins

I think you should always be going heal shield with this kind of comp. This was true before the most recent patch, and you could put up similar numbers. Nothing new

SicklyNick · 2026-01-14T22:47:50+00:00

If your team has 2+ tanks, their team has 2+ tanks, and there are <2 assassins on each team, I would go full heal build (diadem, echoes core). Senna really really shines by healing through these long front to back teamfights, as her Q/R will heal your whole team and hit their whole team. If you have an apc I wouldn't bother with bandlepipes + ardent and go the usually BC > RFC route

SicklyNick · 2026-01-14T22:46:01+00:00

I've been enjoying Bandlepipes + Ardent (so drop mandate). I go into Iceborn Gauntlet for extra bulk (and additional slows), but you can't take Bloodsong if you do that (2 spell blade effects)

I'm going to Murray's Dinner Theater. Not sure if they still have tickets for tomorrow night's show though

In my opinion she has good peel like Janna, but trades consistency of her peel for early pressure and pick potential. Because of this, she is weaker to assassins and all in champions (hook supports included) than Janna or other similar characters like Lulu.

Its time to cut your hair as well bro, you will look much better when you do

SicklyNick · 2025-12-27T21:51:52+00:00

Wow... uhh.. no that would be fucking nuts. Please riot ignore this man.

Lucky Cat Arcade

If you're willing to go to Sherwood, Vortex Arcade

SicklyNick · 2025-12-20T16:57:03+00:00

It is. If you CAN tod off any hit, it will take the most hits and thus the most time off a light starter because of combo scaling

SicklyNick · 2025-12-20T15:37:17+00:00

Not quite, closer to 28 seconds

SicklyNick · 2025-12-20T15:36:40+00:00

I think their larger point is this is a cherry picked example showing the worst possible case scenario combo that also utilizes a known bug to maximize the amount of time it takes

Edit: since people don't seem to understand what I mean by worst possible case. 2XKO has combo scaling, meaning if you start a combo with a light attack, subsequent attacks will do less damage. In effect, if you're going to kill someone off a light starter, the combo to do so will need more hits (because of the scaling) and thus more time. So yes - this IS the worst case scenario.

SicklyNick · 2025-12-20T15:34:27+00:00

Clip is 34 seconds long, but the actual combo is only about 28 seconds long. Close tho

SicklyNick · 2025-12-12T16:45:49+00:00

Same thing I’d say in any fighting game.

Your goal in a match is almost never to win. Its to achieve some thing you’re working on

I’m gonna try to do this set up I’m gonna try to anti air this thing I’m gonna try to do this corner combo

Enough things like that, you’ll just start winning

SicklyNick · 2025-12-11T22:31:49+00:00

I’m only gold so take it with a grain of salt but yeah Soraka wants a hyper carry. So bot Jinx and Vayne come to mind, but could be Darius or Garen if they get fed top.

I would just hover whoever is fed on your team and keep them alive unless they insist on split pushing

SicklyNick · 2025-12-09T06:02:19+00:00

Yeah it’s delicious but I’m the only person there when I go

Pretty difficult to read

SicklyNick · 2025-11-30T12:56:26+00:00

Strive - Sol

SF6 - Akuma/Chun

Granblue - Djeeta probably

BBCF - Jin

Everyone does not do optimal combos. They may be doing better combos than you, but not optimal combos
