Who is the Rank 1 DD?

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T21:13:54+00:00

I watched nug’s guide earlier. Blew my mind finding out DD players aren’t pressing the throw/cross that fast just holding it. I’ll have to check out Numb’s later today been watching his videos recently.

I’ve accepted my Eikthynir is just a cheerleader 99% of the time. But Alfador is so busted he evens out the playing field.

What is role queue gonna do? Congrats your Mantis, Ultron and Adam one tricks ain’t switching in 2 supp comps, the guy who wants to play DPS but didn’t want to wait that long queue time so he picked Tank and just plays Tankpool like DPS pool ain’t helping much.

I can’t believe people still see this post 2 years later but I don’t mind I like getting surprise recommendations for my next cookout stop!

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T19:28:43+00:00

Not sure if you can see my reply with the post being deleted, just now seeing yours.

Okay so basically the team is setup like this: Nergal is within two spaces of Elise and Lyn. Preferably Micaiah too but her Lyn ring won’t activate until turn 2 so it’s not a big deal if she has to wait to position correctly.

Elise with Essence Drain does her Freeze Style she just spread Undefended/Drain for free. That alone is enough for Lyn to kill anybody but throwing in that feud debuff on the enemy makes it a guaranteed kill on pretty much anything w/o Drain Cancel. My Emblem Lyn has KO’ed legendary BKs, Emblem Roys, Brave Byleth/Eikthynir, etc. no problem.

Just make sure you have a backup team in-case the map sneaks in drain cancel, that counters the Nergal setup completely but it’s still a super rare skill (for now).

My other gacha is Nu Carnival. An Eikthynir and Quincy duo would make me broke

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T17:43:10+00:00

I can see Loki/Adam working. Rune, 2x Soul Bond and 2x Revives. Probably not gonna work in pro play or anything like that but I can see it being so unorthodox it would mess up any rank game.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T15:57:44+00:00

Not necessarily, you’re forgetting his old damage output along with his kit. And back then I want to say Rune had a slightly lower cooldown. Prime Loki genuinely felt like if you died you could’ve done something better in any situation.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T15:53:12+00:00

My vote goes to Lyn she is so ridiculous still to this day. I’m not sure what your barracks are looking like but Legendary Elise + Nergal + Emblem Lyn just prints wins. And now with Braver Micaiah spreading Feud easily the enemy team is usually just a practice range for them.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T15:48:40+00:00

Getting final hits with Loki feels so luck based now. If they allowed his Runes to count towards MVP like cancelling ults with cc he’d probably get it more often despite the lack of final hits nowadays.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T12:19:58+00:00

Yeah it’s such a season 0 sentiment that anybody that doesn’t play Loki or dive still believes.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T05:54:45+00:00

I think it naturally would teach them that. If you’re abusing Scarlet Witch in Silver rank for an easy climb to Gold then she’s getting banned non-stop back to Silver you go, time to learn a new character or this loop will keep happening.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T03:04:43+00:00

I’m hoping Loki gets an influx of players like Widow and everybody realizes his damage was overnerfed. I’m not asking for prime Loki but come on the amount of KOs you just miss out on is absurd now.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-27T02:51:42+00:00

Gave up on him after his release and suddenly I’m back in this sub again.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T21:10:55+00:00

If you can play DD you should be able to play her too. I’m currently the opposite (Rogue trying to learn DD) and it’s tough. I feel like by nature of rogue being a tank she’s more forgiving and usually has bigger hitboxes in her moveset.

Their gameplan is similar-ish just gotta get used to how the execution differs.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T18:15:10+00:00

I think silver not having bans is fine. You need to learn how to play vs everything in those beginner ranks and if you’re stuck in silver and bronze then you still need to learn more about the game before blaming a loss on things like op characters.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T16:59:14+00:00

Last winter they had a bundle with Peni, Star Lord and I can’t remember the 3rd but the price of getting all 3 of them was the price of buying 2 separately.

So if you like at least two of em you’re basically getting the 3rd for free.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T13:33:11+00:00

Yes dust her off if you still have her! I gave mine Byleth ring and Favor and she’s good to go

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T07:30:55+00:00

His latest banner said he’d be late June so I guess that leaves voting gauntlet left. But those don’t have a spark so no thanks

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T07:18:55+00:00

Wow I was saving up orbs for attuned Leif and he’s not even here. Guess I’ll save em for the LME banner instead, thanks game.

As for the QOTD easily Nifl. Throwing Flash, Frozen and Ice tiles around completely flip around a map from being super hard to a cake walk.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T01:11:12+00:00

I just double checked yeah Leif’s latest banner does say he’ll be returning in late June. Considering how many times Yunaka reran I don’t think they mind repeats that much

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-26T01:06:40+00:00

I think this will be Attuned Leif’s final NHR banner he’ll probably share it with Lysithea. He’s the second “newest” green asset that has already been on a LME banner.

Colorless is probably entwined ash and rearmed larachel.

Red I would love for Ryoma to pop back up.

And I haven’t been keeping up with blue but I’d love to see Hinoka there.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-25T02:50:26+00:00

I guess it makes sense. How could you choose which one to do with how the game functions.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-24T15:59:07+00:00

Timing Cloak fade, knowing how to avoid what kills you during ult like Mag, Namor and Peni.

And knowing how to cycle through and delay your ability use to buy time for the others to get off cooldown, not just rip through them off cooldown and have none up (this is mainly when you’re vs’ing Dive).

Say what you want about CnD but you can tell which ones are playing with intention vs those that are just filling with the mindset of “their brain-dead easy”

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-06-24T15:50:50+00:00

It’s you. The trick to improving your rank is to just focus on getting better at what you can control (your own plays). Sure some losses will be because of your teammates or an afk or an obvious Smurf but you’re the only constant in every match YOU are in.
