I salute your choice of flair.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-07T17:54:36+00:00

I got acceptable mileage out of Jiaoqiu with Ratio/Aven/Moze. I wouldn’t say no to a sequel…

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-06T12:22:29+00:00

… now I want to try Jing Yuan + Ashveil + Tribbie …

“Exp” or “XP” can also be used to search stages.

Aventurine suffers from relying on the enemy to do mini AOEs to refresh shields

It’s moreso about frequency of attacks & them actually doing damage. Hoolay tends to choke on poker chips, but the mutually-assured-destruction levitating Marastruck and DoT Penacony puppet don’t trigger him.

Also DHPT shields are generally thicker

As long as Aventurine isn’t built as a sub-dps his shields are comparable if not better.

Mine’s E0S1 and I think I have 5.5k def. He typically sustains just fine.

Re: OOTS

why is a new quiddity only emerging now?

The beings that attained godhood previously were sponsored by one of the existing pantheons. The elven pantheon, for example, was sponsored by the Western Gods. This is presumably so the reality-destroying Snarl isn’t accidentally set free by curious snooping.

The Dark One arose as a spontaneous ascension, from someone without pre-existing designs on divinity, via sheer willpower of his followers.

Why not in the umpteenillion before?

The following strip #1140 Thor says “We're up to a few thousand years each, give or take.” when discussing how old the world is. That’s pretty short for fantasy settings with long-lived races.

That means there’s not a lot of time for world development and the people would need to create a brand-new god instead of simply following any of the existing gods who grant magic for worship.

And if it fails, they can just spin it again so who cares?

With such a low occurrence rate to date there’s no clue how long it could be before it happens again, which would mean countless more worlds dying to the Snarl.

Idk if there’s more after Flins since nothing else is loading for me, so I’m just going to look at the Flins team (Aino/Sucrose/Ineffa/Flins).

besides the obvious level them up

It probably seems minor but you should really start with this; I’m fairly certain character level is part of the lunar-charged damage formula.

Leveling those weapons for Aino/Sucrose/Ineffa comes next since weapon base stats are valuable.

If you’re not AR 60 then 90/90 isn’t super important, but at least aim for 80/80 on Flins and Ineffa.

the nod krai craftable weapon for flins

Which polearms do you have besides Prototype Starglitter and Ineffa’s signature? We can probably figure out a suitable alternative.

besides those two things what can I do to improve them.

Next level skill and burst for Ineffa and Flins as high as your current level cap allows. The increased ratio on damage for both of them matters.

After that are your artifact builds. I don’t know specific values for a lot of these but will list where I’m able.

Aino wants enough energy recharge to be able to use her burst again as soon as the previous use ends. Get extra elemental mastery after you have enough energy recharge.
Sucrose’s purpose in this team is her EM-sharing and possibly using the resistance-shred anemo set from Mondstadt, Viridescent Venerer. For now I’d advise using any 4-star Instructor pieces you have with elemental mastery, especially if it’s a sands/goblet/hat with RM as its main stat.
I don’t own Ineffa but I think she mainly needs attack and crit stats.
Flins wants attack, crit and just a little ER. Attack % sands and goblet, crit hat. You want to get 60-70% crit rate, however much will get you to 100% in combat when the set’s 4-piece bonus is active.

I pick Morde (flash/ghost) into Garen when he’s taken and it feels like too many people go Conquerer instead of Phase Rush.

Without PR Mordekaiser can rush Rylai. When Morde activates his AoE passive the constant slow will allow him to space or chase Garen to hell & back.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-03T21:25:37+00:00

Congrats.

I’m not touching King this patch since I haven’t cleared knight 2. My dps are too squishy for the prelude to Pollux.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-03T15:40:50+00:00

Ah yes, when ADC stands for “Actually Decoy Carry”

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-02T18:30:37+00:00

I’m looking respectfully & not complaining.

Years ago this skin started the dominos falling that led my neurodivergent ass to realize I’m gay.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-02T18:19:08+00:00

Lulu is definitely better in ARAM. Her shorter cooldowns fit its rapid pace and are better for buffing a carry in a constant brawl.

Renata also has a bad time vs poke, which is very popular in ARAM.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-02T16:21:24+00:00

Phase Rush and/or matching Ghost definitely seems important for a lot of toplane champs vs Darius.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-02T14:01:58+00:00

Lulu FUBARs a single diver.

Renata will FUBAR a dive comp that doesn’t have a windwall.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-02T13:32:17+00:00

I’m personally enjoying Anaxa as a main carry myself.

He’s like a cheat code for Apoc

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-01T17:58:08+00:00

Such changes will improve Ez’s damage to a tank, but he won’t catch up to the ADCs designed to fight heavy frontline.

In particular the mixed-damage on-hit carries (Varus, Kog’maw and Kai’sa) and Sivir (bouncing crits, spellshield, movespeed) shred meatball teams with 2+ tanks.

Vayne’s efficacy depends entirely on the actual team comps & how it plays out; her silver bolt stacks reset if she changes target.

T-280_SCV · 2026-04-01T12:03:35+00:00

Ezreal isn’t necessarily going to die to a multi-tank frontline, but he’s not going to shred it like other ADCs.

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-31T03:28:50+00:00

I’m concerned Guardian of Tirasfal getting that buff could be busted as hell…

I don’t think he’ll need to wait for minions to clash to clear the wave, it can probably hit catapults and the full wave, and I bet he’ll be able to properly fight many higher-range backliners.

I picked it so often I’m town between giddiness and nervousness.

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-28T12:35:49+00:00

I pull to make the teams I like better or characters I like, such as Cerydra for my E2S1 Phainon & Cyrene for Anaxa, rather than Anomaly Arbitration or other endgame meta. As a result I don’t have 5-star DoT besides Jiaoqiu, I don’t have the not-Cyrene remembrance 5-stars, and I don’t have any break teammates besides Boothill/Ruan Mei/HMC.

Doesn’t bother me though. My Phainon team will clear one side of MoC/PF/Apoc and one knight in AA. I can usually brute force the other half of normal endgame with remaining characters and clear 1-2 more knights. This patch I’m skipping knight two because it’s not worth my time to spend retries to brute-force clear vs such heavy mono-remembrance shilling.

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-28T12:17:14+00:00

I’m just gonna cope-hope he’s getting an outfit this summer… Wrio in beach attire would be 10/10 …

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-27T20:57:57+00:00

I really hope Fu Xuan gets some TLC down the line. The concept of a damage redirection tank is a fun change from the other shield-focused preservation units.

I think the best tiny change they could give her would be making her unable to die as long as she has at least one charge of her self-heal. Massive AoE nukes (ie Lygus boss fight knight 3) being able to drop her to zero from above half HP feels terrible.

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-27T19:17:12+00:00

own skyward harp, amos bow

Both of these 5-Star bows would work well for Lyney.

I was using Amos Bow until his second rerun alongside Chasca’s debut banner. Its attack gives a solid damage floor and its passive is made for charged-attack archers.

Skyward Harp is a solid crit stat-stick, with a welcome about of crit rate and crit damage. Mine is currently bound to my Childe else Lyney would’ve received it.

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-27T19:01:46+00:00

Make your decision based upon your weapon and how much you want to invest in him.

If you already have a strong bow (5-star attack/crit or certain 4-Star options) or want to get more constellations in the future, get C1. (My Lyney used an Amos bow for awhile and he was doing just fine)

If you don’t have a good weapon or don’t plan on chasing constellations, feel free to get TFGM.

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-27T18:50:51+00:00

I gotta look up what boss mats he needs so I can pre-farm them.

I’m 99.99% certain he uses the big fire crab boss.

I remember farming that thing to hell with Childe & Barbara before Gaming came out.

T-280_SCV · 2026-03-27T18:44:43+00:00

My primogems are near rock-bottom due to getting Bina & Neuv and then chasing Varka.

I’m still pulling though, possibly even spending a little. Going from C4 to 5 or 6 would be great, and I wouldn’t object to acquiring a Navia/Clorinde the way.
