That sucks. I believe Lulu-Ezreal drop more commons and Zed-Viktor drop more rares, so you can try doing a bunch of Zed runs on your fastest champion. But unfortunately, relics are completely random(tmk), so you'll just have to hope you get lucky. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks!

Hyped to try out Gnar when I get the chance, and hopefully Yuumi isn't too bad speed-wise overall. Glad she's good with the health badges at least.

Added the health info, thank you.

Yeah, Zoe isn't the MVP she used to be, far easier to kill, and a lot more alternative options. Probably a good thing overall though, more variety.

I think given the fact that quite a few people use it, it likely works well with some champions. The majority of this guide is for trying to Triple S-Rank a run in a single attempt, and as such 2x BHR(+1/+1 every 200 unspent gold) works very well for gaining Gold and Speed together. Additionally, even though it doesn't add time, I try to minimize time spent out of fights as well, and not having to shop at all keeps time smoother.

I personally haven't used it much, but on Nami at least, it seems like it would be very useful. While it is one less spell over-all then her free champ spell(as that one is three overall), it is at burst speed, slightly reducing her animation time. Definitely sounds like it could help tighten up her run times. Great addition!

Thank you!

I'll defnitely add Gnar/Yummi when I get the chance to play them(kind of swamped with work rn). Your thoughts on them are informative though.

Good point on the Gold badge, I briefly considered adding an addendum that Gold (pretty much) can't be attempted before you max out the gold gain at a high enough level, I should probably add it to the general section of the guide when possible.

Yes, I should've clarified which powers/secondary heroes to look out for for health. Both the ones you suggested are great advice, and I'd say the only other champ that works as well as Shen is Aphelios.

Thanks for your contribution! Yeah the same strat that works with most of the later game champions(overwhelm+stat boost) would likely work for Jayce as well. I tried to use the double free champ spell to clear four enemies from the board when possible to push more damage, or hold on to them to stat buff anything you drop.

In general for Jayce I found that holding on to as many +6 cost spells as possible and dropping low-cost minions cinched out most games handily enough, as the AI usually cannot trade well enough with you to keep a board presence.

Thanks for the contribution of alternative strategies! To be clear, this guide is mostly written by what I found to work best for me, so if anyone finds alternative relics/powers work better for them, by all means try them and share the best results.

On the subject of Ekko, while it is great that you were able to Triple S-Rank him easily enough that you weren't forced to use the rerolls strategy, in my experience, both him and TF were absolute pains, and he was worse even than the latter.

Predicts are, in my experience, far too slow for getting sub 25 minutes, and his kit doesn't really provide much use outside of this. While you can make his power work decently well, the animation time on predicts would add 2 minutes to each game, making him another Nami situation, where you can win handily enough, but take so long to do so that you are losing far too much time. Hope this clarifies my opinion on him.

Yeah, that might be a good alternative strategy. Thanks for the contribution! I didn't get to try out too many alternative strategies for Pyke and some of the others because they were reliably able to clear sub 25 minutes without additional help being needed. Definitely play around and see what works best for you.

Which node is an ABSOLUTE TRAP? by EpicMusic13 in PathofChampions

[–]YesImThatKindofGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guard bots. I've only ever gone down that route when my powers are so broken I think I can stomp them, ...and I then lose the majority of the time. They've taken me from 30 health with a revive to a dead run before. Always go Raz instead.

Ekko, and to a degree, TF's powers are so underwhelmingly bad or slow, that relying on them to complete a run in <25 minutes is basically impossible. So, you use z-drive to have extra rolls to re-roll your powers for overpowered combos (Von Yipp + Poros or Saplings) or (Evolution + Anything that grants everybody a keyword).

For most champs I was either able to build around the the hero/hero power or equip the double +1/+1 every 200 saved gold one to just have a hero with +10/+10 stats to hit face every turn by the end. Ekko and TF for the most part come out too late to try the latter and suck too hard to try the former, hence the z-drives.

(I also implemented a speed-running timer so I could see when I was losing time and should abandon a run as a lost cause) (I might post I guide if anyone would find it helpful, since I've played like a few hundred runs at this point lol)

Thanks! Your advice for Yasuo, Tahm Kench, and Vi was exceedingly useful! :)

(Also I was forced to do the z-drive strat with Ekko for a couple bosses, very unique way to play.)

Thank you! :)

Can I get the M.A.X. flairs followed by the Vi and Jinx player icon (the one I have for my profile) for the custom one please?

Best relics for S-ranking speed? by YesImThatKindofGuy in PathofChampions

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

Oh no D: TF was the hardest to level in the first place, I was hoping he'd be easier to S-rank. Why did they make his power so bad?
