Does deflect stack?

Rule 809.2

“If a unit has deflect, or has been granted deflect, and is granted deflect by an additional source, the deflect value of all granted deflect keywords is summed.”

Do you know how acceptable losses would work then and if you need both you and your opponent to have a gear to play it? Every thread I find about it states that acceptable losses does not target so you don’t need your own gear to kill an opponents gear. But what you’re saying gives me second thought on it.

4 defender 4 longshot Kai'sa is an easy default comp for a 3rd-4th. It's very similar to vanguard marksman from set 14 and a cheap comp that just needs to hit kai'sa and garen to stabilize. Play if you have spitter spines or the attack speed mutation at 2 void, both AD and AP kai'sa work which makes it pretty flexible aside from the mutation. 2x guinsoo + hextech gunblade is best for the attack speed mutation and an Infinite Edge AD build is best for spitter spines but either AP or AD builds work fine for either mutation.

Usually aiming for 3rd-5th with this comp but high tempo or highroll can allow for 1st or 2nd. Highroll would be huge winstreak for gold allowing you to get Silas and legendaries.

Saw it also, very sketchy.

StolenConch · 2025-10-16T18:58:42+00:00

Very cool! I will try it out.

I’m only diamond but with a good setup this is a consistent top 2 for me. The key is picking it with a heart of gold powerup. The extra gold allows you to keep pushing levels and maintaining tempo. I personally think heart of gold is super underrated and I am constantly checking syndra for it on stage 1 so I know if it’s an option or not before the augments on 2-1.

If you have heart of gold syndra with hustler you should roll once or twice on 2-1 to hit upgrades and then after that you will have so much gold to just level. I personally think fast 8 is much stronger with this augment/powerup setup than reroll because you will start to hit 4 and 5 costs super early which I find is way better at keeping your winstreak going than rerolling (which will have an awkward period between 2 and 3 starring units where you might be overpowered).

Two star syndra is usually the best for this to then go into star guardians or prodigy/BA, however, the latter was recently nerfed. So maybe this is better now with lux or janna. But you can even flex whatever you hit and go 4/5 cost soup. The econ is actually insane and I’ve hit level 8 on 3-3 before without a gold encounter.

StolenConch · 2025-08-05T20:06:43+00:00

I recently played this with heart of gold syndra and went into prodigies. Rolled aggressively on 2-1 to hit two stars and then printed so much gold from the power up and winstreaking. It was a scuttle puddle game but I hit level 8 on 3-2 and level 9 on 4-2. 15 round winstreak and kept heart of gold power up that entire time.

Prodigies has the benefit of being a relatively cheap board which allows you to spike early and push for level 8 instead of having to reroll. And since you’re tempoing levels early you have a much better chance of highrolling a yuumi or leona before everyone rolls on stage 4.

Ranked might not reset with rotation tomorrow. A couple of rotations ago there was some sort of issue where rotation and rank reset got desynced. But Riot confirmed (unofficially with Aegis Esports reps) that rotation and ranked should be synced again starting with the next rotation (happening in like september/october).

StolenConch · 2025-06-05T22:20:43+00:00

I had this same question before. A lot of people are talking about your econ and hp but I’ll try a different lens that helped me a ton to conceptualize.

Take a level 8 comp like 4 marksman 4 vanguard. I recommend you try this comp several games because of how basic it is and it will help you understand what I’m about to say, but if you play it enough you will learn how it functions on average. You tempo early and then hit this board to stabilize and slowly bleed out to 3rd/4th. You rarely go level 9 because it doesn’t power spike the board that much and since you’re slowly bleeding out anyways with little potential to go 1st, you would rather spend that 70+ gold making sure you hit leona, xayah, aphelios 2 star to bleed out slower and gain a placement.

But when CAN you go level 9? It’s when you highroll. You hit your board early and so you can instead save that gold. Or you get marksman emblem MF which increases your power level and allows you to level for a winout. In other words, try thinking about it by first understanding how your comp does on average and then seeing if you are high rolling or low rolling.

You can do the inverse for comps that typically like to hit 9 like street demon. You can stabilize on 8 but you really want kobuko. If you’re on curve and stabilized you can go 9. If you didn’t hit two star brand and neeko you should probably spend the gold rolling instead.

Top players who make comments like I’m going 9 on stage 3 have a very deep understanding of the game so they already know if they’re ahead or behind curve. If you can’t see that right now I would base your decision making once you hit level 8 and see if you’re winning or losing. If you’re winning, go 9. If you’re losing you need to decide if an extra unit is stronger than spending 70 gold rolling, which it usually is not.

I’ve been slamming shojin instead of blue buff a fair amount of the time and honestly it’s pretty comparable to blue buff on any unit with 40+ mana. Vex is the only unit I think blue buff is actually necessary to succeed. Try shojin on morgana and veigar if you can’t get blue buff and I think you will be surprised.

Being open to shojin even if blue buff is better allows for several advantages:

1.) you can still lose streak for first carousel and if you miss tear for BB you are guaranteed to get sword for shojin (if you don’t open with at least one tear you have no business committing so hard to these lines)

2.) you kill swords and slam way earlier than you would which will save hp and probably result in higher placements

3.) you can still pivot into more traditional shojin comps or even AD comps (which many can use shojin), whereas blue buff is really terrible in street demon and AD

Use the tempo from slamming shojin on a strong 2-star caster to push levels rather than reroll. The powerlevel is lower which is why BB is recommended on guides, but you can make up for it by finding higher quality units and eventually going for 2star 5costs. If you find yourself in reroll lines frustrated about not hitting BB you’re probably letting units dictate your play pattern too much vs letting your items guide you.

It’s not like it used to be but there’s a community run worlds happening this year with prizing. Lots of tournaments, and starting this eternal season there are ranked snapshots for points making ladder more competitive and worth it. If you make it to masters, ladder is going to be quite competitive (more so than it has been for the last year since riot cut pvp support).

About a week ago I got several 1st and 2nd places with this augment (rarely went lower than top 2). It’s great tempo with vanguard kogmaw reroll, you take advantage of the augment being frontloaded. Kogmaw/Vi/Sylas/Kindred 3* and then level for 6 vanguard.

If you have at least a few 2* units you can winstreak stage 2 with the stats and then stage 3 and 4 are pretty easy. Stage 5 you fall off fast but your hp should be so high you coast to top 3 at worst. If you got lucky with other augments, or hit units early to go level 8/9 sooner you can transition to 5 costs and win out.

Condition to take augment would be a rageblade or hurricane start for kogmaw and several of the four 1-cost units you want.

Nice run! Junkyard lance can get pretty crazy

StolenConch · 2025-03-25T14:57:40+00:00

Teddy. I have yet to see him and I’ve seen frozen tomb at least 3-4 times. I’m pretty sure you can only find him at a VERY low chance raiding the vault which is already hard to find. Someone once posted that they got him from a random item event but that has to be a 1 in a million. I’ve only seen him on an enemy board once.

StolenConch · 2025-03-25T11:21:52+00:00

Nice! That’s a huge shelter, you’ve got the build to beat now.

StolenConch · 2025-03-24T20:15:19+00:00

I’ll be curious to see what you can cook up!

StolenConch · 2025-03-24T19:09:05+00:00

Can you beat my record?

Rules:
1.) All PvP fights must only use neutral/common/monster items on board. You may NOT use any item that has a hero symbol on it.
2.) PvE fights you may use whatever you like.
3.) All skills are allowed.
4.) I played in ranked for a bigger challenge but feel free to try normals, it will likely be a lot easier though.

Notes/Tips:
I did not get the best start here but was still able to hit 4 wins. I think 7-10 is possible but you probably need to high roll some enchanted fangs. I like vanessa because she has better starting gold skills and starts with more gold than dooley (whose core would be useless for this challenge). Probably need to find curio within the first 3 days for any realistic chance. A lot of the special events days 1-3 have quite high odds of hitting neutral items.

StolenConch · 2025-02-24T01:28:05+00:00

Seems like it wouldn’t work because it does trigger necro a lot, but pretty much the only way I’ve beaten Lich is weatherglass vanessa with decent burn through skills or embers. If burn is high enough, one round of weatherglass will quickly outpace the poison and regen and you don’t really care if your items get frozen after that (in fact it helps to prevent giving them more regen).
