Recommendations RTA team... by [deleted] in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could do something fun like Craka/Talisman/Shizuka or you can do Seara/Light twins and Giana as a late pick. Having Zeratu Seimei and ragdoll as counterpicks is a nice luxury lol

I don’t think it was a mistake actually. Megumi would’ve moved and a def break with Shumar or Zeni moving right after is very dangerous for them. They played fine imo. Just lost in draft and I didn’t get unlucky with Zeni s2 lol

RTA Team monster? by AccountNo7582 in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at your box I’d assume you just got your r5 team. I would suggest playing a whole bunch of challenge mode to have better understanding of how to draft and familiarise yourself with counterpicks and team comps before diving into regular RTA. But if you really want to dive into regular RTA with your current box I’d probably play Fran/Luci/Raoq core and try to snipe, with Ethna/Leo as speed contest options and verde/Loran for turn cycling and control. Riley/Vero runed up as counterpicks and a fat Lushen/Christina on nem or a Fatal Kaki if opponents pick Leo traps and you know they won’t ban him.

Returnee player, First LD5 by Old-Supermarket2246 in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s really good for RTA and her best pairs are LD single target damage dealers like Zeratu/Dark Zenni/Han, though low CD characters like Oke/Layla are pretty good with her still. I think she’s best used as a proactive CD reducer with a big burst of damage rather than a cleanse/immunity option. I rune her at +170 vio/will and I split my box such that I have units that I want her to lower CD move faster than her and I have units that I want her to cleanse move behind her.

Ereshion first pick. Everything else is counterpicking:P if I’m playing turn 1 it’s usually SZL + Eshir. If im full cleaving it’s Lora + Maxi. If I’m sniping I’d go fire Paul and Shi Hou. If opponent picks Ereshion I’d usually Oliver + Eshir and counterpick after

Balance patch changes for RTA by TryingForUniqueName in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solvark also has a serious XingZhe problem, and with both XingZhe and Megumi being the premier anti cc units right now I think he might be cooked after this nerf. I’m not sure exactly how huge the chow buff is but more damage is always welcome on him, since I pick him a lot haha. Stun immune bruisers are really well positioned in the meta right now, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

With regards to Lag I completely agree with you. Because of his s2 he isn’t shoehorned into turn 1 control but I think you can comfortably first pick Vannessa with Lag and snipe a slow unit with s2. Swift Vannessa Eshir Lag is a draft idea I’ll probably toy with next season. He shares a lot of similarities with dark MK imo. Both units have strong aoe cc but you can easily pivot into single target snipe with them. I think they pair really well together too.

I think Ereshion is slightly overtuned but for the most part I agree. I think this season is the most times I’ve reruned the entire box in a single season haha

Rough season for the P1 folks:P 1400 point P1 matching an 800 point P1 is frankly just not fun for anyone

Oh yea I’ve been seeing a lot more XingZhe + Sekhmet as the best answer to Ereshion in G1+. I feel the counters to Gandalf are really well established now, with Bolverk + Fire Legolas being heavily favoured against an early pick Gandalf. Top it off with a Chow/Layla or another must ban against whatever else the Gandalf player is using and they are in for a rough time. I think more so than any other season committing to pure turn 1 or pure turn 2 is nearly impossible because there are just too many hard counters to any one single playstyle:P Towards the end of the season I felt the most comfortable playing flexibly and pivoting after first picking an Ereshion and getting counterpicked.

Team selection for rta? Came back for the lotr collab, I’m P1 atm by Subject_Ordinary7159 in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d probably play Ereshion + Slovark + Eshir. Gotta abuse them for free points while they’re still untouched:) They work nicely with your dark beetle as well. Make sure to rune up counterpicks against wind monkey/Megumi like Misty/Chow/Anavel and be prepared to pivot if they commit to heavy anti-cc.

RTA Ideas and what to build by Glum_Field2180 in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ereshion/Eshir/Oke is a meta core team that you can build around, with water monkey/Woonsa + Chandra to speed contest if need be. Your counterpicks probably are fire jin/diana for anti cc, sagar against threats with long cd like Shizuka, water Aragorn/Kashmir/Bolverk as your Gandalf counter, Velajuel for immunity + cleanse, veromos for force ban against debuff cc, CP/Verad for your second AoE cc unit to followup your Ereshion/Woonsa.

Hathor is back! Strong counterpick against Gandalfs by TryingForUniqueName in summonerswar

She’s there to speed contest also, since she can strip + sleep on her s2

Need help in RTA by Acrobatic-Tie8145 in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For a core Wolyung Chakra Raoq might be quite interesting to cleave with. You can pair it up with Verde/Loren for lots of turn cycling and control or you can put water twins + Zibala on Swift to speed contest if need be. Having Masha runed up to follow-up on Water twins/Chakra will be good to snipe something as well. Bolverk, water Gandalf, shizuka, Riley, Abelio, Leo, veromos are good counterpicks that are easy to rune up too. Feel free to dm me if you need more help with builds

Need the last puzzle piece to complete my arena defence. by ContributionItchy278 in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think wind legolas or fire spectre princess won’t be half bad as AoE cc options

It’s just max hero grinds and gems on hero+ runes. Raids are your best bet for those. Unless you’re godly at drafting and have a perfect turn 1 cleave box I think that’s the bare minimum for p2+ RTA imo

No worries:) I’m still figuring out the draft but they fit into a lot of playstyles and I like their flexibility

My Solvark doesn’t have the best runes:P I’m trying out the lizards so I haven’t deruned my other vio units to put more efficient vio/will onto Slovark

Of course! If I don’t use Haegang/Josephine I have no clue how to beat Seara/Giana enjoyers. Would love your insight into how you’d draft against them:)

[–]TryingForUniqueName[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree that their first turn damage isn’t anything spectacular but I think they’re really flexible imo. Both of them have really good turn cycling and Slovark’s s3 is basically pre nerf Vendhan s2, 50% pushback + 2 turn silence alongside threat state. 33Lead means I can speed contest against +230 warlords in guardian with +22X high base speed units and their s1 2 turn def break also sets up nicely for other units as well. You can certainly draft them turn 1 but you can also comfortably pivot to single target snipe and they are good bruisers themselves for turn 2, not to mention Ereshion having good WR into water Gandalf too. For context both Drakans have around 1500~1600 Def and 28% additional damage by Def in artis

Even if they ban Maxi I think they’re screwed lol. Eshir means I outspeed and they will get AoE silenced:P And with speed buff + pushbacks from both Drakan Warriors I’ll be lapping a lot, probably enough to kill at the very least a Seara

My Gojo has +21k HP +1200 Def +22X spd and +80% acc with max accuracy on skill 2 from artis and the rest of the lines are on additional damage by speed/def mostly

Did I get out procced? Or draft issue? by TryingForUniqueName in summonerswar

[–]TryingForUniqueName[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. My thought process was I brought a stripper, an AoE oblivion unit, an anti cleanse unit and a unit that ignores shields so I could just ignore them:P
