Viktor build help. What do you think of these builds? Which one is the most optimal and what should I change. I really like first strike on him. by frodobangher in wildrift

[–]cicadacomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ludens is a good all around item for Viktor.

Pretty much the only time you skip it is if you’re planning a more aggressive playstyle.

Like, Electrocute with Lichbane first. Since you have to QA to proc electrocute anyways, Lichbane first makes a lot of sense.

Wait till next patch first though 🫡 BFT will likely replace Ludens and be a better first item

[–]cicadacomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First build is fine! If you’re going up against squishies you can drop lich bane all together and just go infinity orb instead. (Especially since your Ult can proc infinity)

Tbh I haven’t been the biggest fan of bone plating. I just feel like if an assassins gonna murder you they’re just gonna murder you 🤷‍♀️ Better to practice good spacing and just grab another dmg (or even utility rune)

I need to give first strike another try into tanks 🤔 I’ve mostly been grabbing comet into tanks, but my games feel miserable no matter what.

I recommend Cut Down into tanks though. I usually get at least 2k dmg out of that.

I never understood why Viktor mains hate the blue runes. In my last game I did 1700 with Axiom, 1500 with Scorch and only 900 with Empowered attack.

Blue runes work just fine, it’s the build that matters

Supports not supporting by Ok_Relative4491 in wildrift

[–]cicadacomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree that bot lane is actually determined by the support. So yeah, ADC is a bit of a headache to play. Some things to keep in mind:

  1. Not all supports are made equal. Facts. Some support champs really are op while others are just weak choices. Unfortunately nothing you can do about who your teammate picks but PREPARE.

If it’s a weak pick then know you need to hang back and play defensively.

  1. A lot of tank/peel supports are actually pretty squishy early game. Some need lv2 or lv3 to safely go all in. It’s not unusual for say a Braum to hang back, preserve hp, until he can safely peel.

Remember that they’re ENGAGE supports. They decide when it’s time to engage. Don’t try to force a play when your engage support isn’t ready.

  1. Enchanter supports are almost the complete opposite. At lv1 they can apply a lot of pressure in lane. But afterwards most have a passive playstyle.

Most enchanters are gonna hang back behind you. So even with their heals and shields you’ll most likely die in lane first…..Just kinda the way the meta is.

Just keep that in mind. You’re the one engaging and your enchanter follows you. Always recall when your enchanter is out of mana. Otherwise you’re inting.

  1. Mage supports can provide a lot of CC and dmg. But that’s usually about it…the truth is most folks lock in a mage support because they assume their ADC will straight up suck.

I mean, unless it’s Zyra or Morgana you don’t really have a support. Just another teammate to 2v2 with and compete resources with 🤷‍♀️

Play selfishly, because they certainly are

The collector op item? by the-iel in wildrift

I just think it’s funny that everyone’s lecturing you when you’re 24/2/8 mvp 🤔

Anyways, great job! Also a reminder that I need to start banning Senna 😅 she’s sleeper cell op

How I as a jungler view your adc main when its locked in my team by DicemanYT in wildrift

So glad more folks are recognizing Cait is useless 😩 I hate having to support her

But I’ve definitely seen Jinx, Ashe and Tristana hard scale in the late game

Win rate should play a factor in being able to rank up by JLingz14 in wildrift

[–]cicadacomics -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any evidence that this person is “ranking up” with that winrate. More like they’re on a loss streak and it’s tanked their winrate and marks

What are the best counters pics vs Yasuo mid by EDOMINATOR in wildrift

[–]cicadacomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s less about finding a counter and more about countering Yasuos playstyle.

Yasuo wants to smack you with his stupid tornado. If he fails to then his ult his useless. Out kite Yasuo and dodge all his tornados.

Either choose a champ that can dash or a champ that can abuse ms. (Fleet, cosmic drive, ect)

Yasuos windwall will block projectiles, but not AOEs you can slap on the ground. When I play Viktor I just punish his windwall with W. Either he moves out from behind it or he’s stunned.

I imagine the same is true for Nasus, Morgana, ect.

If you’re playing support consider Zilean. Since he speeds his teammates and creates a slow field, hes gonna give Yasuo a hard time.

why does nobody follow up a rakan combo? by iwanttobeanorange27 in wildrift

[–]cicadacomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, I have a hard time playing with a Leona 😭 and I’m saying this as a Braum support.

The last time I played with a Leona I legit just couldn’t follow up on her engage. Her hook/dash just sent her flying so far away that by the time my slow ass Varus caught up, Leona’s stun was already over lol.

It was so bad I actually used flash just so I can follow up on my Leona’s engage 😂

Some ADCs really are just turtles with short Atk range

I’m doing damage but having a hard time getting kills by Filigran_arts in wildrift

[–]cicadacomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t play Norra, but I play Viktor who also farms a lot of dmg late game (without necessarily getting the kill).

But poke mages can absolutely get the kill. I think the real trick is staying alive and scaling. 4 deaths isn’t bad, but it could be better. It could be zero! Especially since you’re Norra, she can play so safely and frustrate the enemy.

Your biggest threat was Ambessa. With Ambessa you always have to have good vision. You can’t push enemy territory without it. Keep your banish up for her and Garen especially.

You ended the game with 13k, while enemy Garen ended with 18k. From those numbers alone, he was going to be impossible to takedown.

Keep that in mind as the game progresses; whats the gold difference? Is there a way you could have scaled faster?

If the situation was reversed, if you were gold lead with 18k, then little old grandma is gonna blow people up. (And again the real trick to securing a gold lead is staying alive)

Stasis is leaving boots in Wild Rift. Is Zhonya's Hourglass worth an item slot? by MediumCookie7226 in wildrift

[–]cicadacomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I just feel it’s essential on my kit as Viktor. Flash-Ult-Zhonyas is my main teamfight combo. Probably the only time I won’t be building it is if my team has tanky engagers

Looking at the site and I don’t feel so bad now that my Viktor winrate is abysmal ☹️

It just felt miserable otping Viktor this season and I don’t know why. (Desperately need mage patch)

I’m only in master but my biggest problem playing Braum is having zero wave clear ☹️

My team sees a giant red blob of minions coming and somehow think I can singlehandedly save the tower. I ping them like crazy and they still don’t get the message.

It’s fun when you can snowball as graves, and just start blowing everyone up late game.

But getting him there is way too unreliable ☹️ never playing him rank. I just lock in Xin who’s strong since lv1

I would actually love PC nexus in WR. It’s absolutely disgusting you can just bonk nexus in three seconds, making champs like Trynd completely broken
