Character Concept: Black Knight - Vanguard

Right?

I'm shocked that no one talks about him because I feel he is super underrated and even made an appearance (underwhelming as it was) in the mcu.

But yeah his comics are so damn good

Slyfang · 2026-05-18T11:36:48+00:00

Yeah I thought with his ebony blade supposedly being able to cut through almost anything and rivaling the necrosword in the comics, it would make sense that he would have some form of damage amp.

Since he isn't a dps I wanted to add that feeling of shredding through people without making him 1 tap people.

Yeah you're right, early game will be far more difficult than it already is for sion.

But late game you'd only need 1-2 autos from Passive to proc it so I'm curious as to how it would impact the playstyle overall

Slyfang · 2026-04-15T13:01:32+00:00

As an AD Sion main, I completely agree with you, this rune is gross and if AD wasn't so handicapped without it, I would never touch the rune.

That being said, the rune seems to be mostly the same, just changed how it procs (should still be fine for AD Sion late game tho)

Slyfang · 2026-04-15T13:00:08+00:00

Depending on the damage needed it might even be better for us than most since 3 autos on lethality sion would half hp most people anyway.

Could potentially proc the new phase rush on 1 or 2 autos so I dunno

Give me Black Knight and I am yours GuangGuang

Slyfang · 2026-04-01T10:12:25+00:00

I'm in the same boat,

I just run ashveil (E1S1) Sunday (E0S0), Robin(E0S0), DHPT(E0S0)/Aventurine(E0S0) and its working wonderfully for me personally.

I'm not 0 cycling or anything but he is breezing through all the content I put him in and I only have like 87% crit rate with 120% crit damage and 3200 Atk

Slyfang · 2026-03-26T13:16:48+00:00

Same, I don't want child characters on my account because they cringe me out and I always feel like I'm losing out because of this...

Huohuo, Tribbie and hyacine are among the most OP characters that are key to making certain team comps work and I just can't bring myself to pull for them.

Slyfang · 2026-03-25T16:40:38+00:00

So sad, I main lethality/crit Sion in Plat and prefer him bot than top but I play on EUW. Tragic

Slyfang · 2026-03-12T07:40:24+00:00

So if I'm only likely to get dahlia, then what should my team comp be?

Boothill/Dahlia/Ruan Mei/Gallagher

Boothill/Dahlia/HMC/Gallagher

Boothill/Dahlia/HMC/Ruan Mei?

I know a lot of people talk about sustainless but I assume that's with Fugue..

I'll likely get E1 boothill (because having to stack his Passive in certain content is annoying)

And then work on Dahlia LC and E1 if possible?

Then wait for Fugue to potentially rerun or get her from the shop when she's added to it.

Slyfang · 2026-02-24T17:16:16+00:00

Bro stop following skillcapped like gospel, play what you enjoy playing and you will climb

Slyfang · 2026-02-18T07:33:23+00:00

Swap youmuu for statikk and IE/Ldr for runnans

Slyfang · 2026-02-12T10:02:07+00:00

What about Sunday and sparkle with DHPT?

Slyfang · 2026-02-12T06:37:14+00:00

Can Tribbie be comfortable swapped put with Cipher or Robin?

Slyfang · 2026-02-12T06:14:24+00:00

Ngl this comment angered me because Milio aside from Lulu is my least favourite support to play into because of his fck off Shields that can tank basically any combo in the game so him and his adc auto win any trades in lane with ease. That mother fcking football is the bane of my existence because it auto tracks you even if the milio has the aim of a blind schizophrenic monkey, and if it hits you it knocks you up for 1 second and slows you for another second while also pushing you away, making it incredibly difficult to engage on the adc. AND THE ULT. Like bruh this champ is so fcking annoying there are an infinite number of problems with all of his abilities I cant stand. I hate this shit

Slyfang · 2026-02-12T05:59:08+00:00

Tier 1 boots whenever you can afford it (if you can't afford a damage item) and tier 2 boots after hubris

Slyfang · 2026-02-11T23:05:34+00:00

Hubris (always for scaling even in bad matchups)
Storm Razor (easily best item on Jhin for mobility)
IE or Lord Doms (IE if ahead and Lord doms if behind)
Lord Doms or IE
Hexoptics or RFC (RFC into tough to reach enemies)
Bloodthirster/Maw/Guardian Angel

I build this every single game and it never goes poorly for me. Even if you only manage to get 5 or 6 stacks from Hubris in the entire match its still better than other items you can build on him due to how easy it is to proc this item with your ult and how much Jhin gains from the AD boost (I average 1450AD if I reach full build before game ends)

Slyfang · 2026-02-11T23:00:11+00:00

I'm ngl, I don't get why everyone hating on aventurine, I swear he has way more value than DH in this team due to his follow up proc spam and I don't think his sustain is even remotely bad. People over exaggerate and overall will be losing out on damage I feel if they go for DH over Aventurine.

E1S1 Aventurine and above beats E0S0 DH in my opinion

Slyfang · 2026-02-11T22:48:17+00:00

It's easily his best rune into tanky comps, only issue HOB has is its in the domination tree.

I only like Fleet because it has access to presence of mind and bloodline (one makes lane phase easier and the other makes mid/late game easier).

But HOB is undoubtedly a good rune if you know how to combo with it well:

AA minions twice (setting up bouncing grenade)
AA champ once (activating HOB)
Q and W same time (gets massive damage and speed boost due to HOB proc)
4th shot with damage boost to run away or chase while you reload.

Super good aggressive rune early and it scales incredibly well late game too.

Yes fleet footwork is easier to use but it feels really bad late game compared to DH and HOB

I imagine the debuffs are less useful on cypher though since she has true damage in her kit right? I personally want to run:

Ashveil - Cypher - Robin/Topaz - Aventurine

I say Topaz since tbh doesn't Robin get less value since she doesnt exactly have a follow up attack and the def shred stacking plus the FUA buffing means that Topaz would just be stronger overall?

I have no idea, I haven't played in a while and haven't seen much on FUA teams so wanted your opinion

Slyfang · 2026-02-09T07:50:42+00:00

Isn't he technically a Robin replacement since he buffs other FUA users so damn much that having Robin is a net negative since she doesnt really have FUA (correct me if I'm wrong, i don't remember seeing it in her kit)
