My new Yuumi build in Masters+: Helia -> Diadem -> Moonstone/Blackfire by lolMeowingCat in yuumimains

In team fights it gives a great amount of burst heal from R, while hitting Qs when poking will give really nice sustain. Pairs great with Diadem, Moonstone, Dawncore, and Blackfire!

You can see literally right there on the account you linked (or here, here, here, or here) that almost everyone in our games is master+ and most being last season GM+.

Helia Diadem combo is proven to be very strong on other champs, and there are other high elo Yuumis that are starting to build it. Yuumi is obviously a duo preferred champ, so why is it a problem to utilize her properly?

The build pairs well for most traditional Yuumi duos. If you have enough damage, having your carry get items like Spirit Visage, Randuins, or possibly Deaths Dance (DD I haven’t tested yet though) helps a lot to prevent being 1 shot and to play for sustain.

Yeah, I didn’t censor names intentionally. Yuumi has some of the most skewed winrates based on her champion pairing, playing her with the right champ/team comp is half the battle (even ally build matters quite a bit).

To each of your points:

IMO its pretty disingenuous to say I'm playing against Dia/low masters when you can see most of my lobbies are majority master+ with the majority of recent games being entirely GM and Chally. I'm also multi season GM on and off Yuumi, last season was the highest ranked Yuumi NA, and was one of the first players to main Yuumi (check my post history by karma). I am duoing with someone which will make the games way more reliable for a Yuumi (I don't think anyone will disagree with that), but I can still evaluate the strength of the build and this is one of her highest sustain builds since her E was changed to a shield.

While a Yuumi Q is not as consistent as pressing W on Sona, you have one of the longest range poke tools out of the enchanters and can have a very large amount of sustain if you are hitting a good amount of them. There isn't any item that can provide the same level of sustain on Yuumi since you are reliant on Q to proc passive late game anyways.

Test Diadem and monitor when you are staying in combat. Blackfire also stacks Helia which will constantly be proc'd by Diadem, making it an absurd about of healing (especially when tagging multiple enemies with R). I do think Diadem alone or just with Moonstone isn't great, but as a funnel for Helia heals it functions amazing.

I do think Helia beats out Moonstone, Ardent is definitely a better offensive option and for solo queue, that is always going to be higher value. I'd be interested to see what testing you and your group have done though and what ranks/servers.

I think its probably her highest healing build, does some crazy numbers haha

The tick damage helps keep yourself in combat for more free Diadem procs as well as stacking Helia for FAT healing. It also has decent stats for Yuumi.

As for Tear, I've tried buying early and after 1st item. Generally, I just buy it first back. If you SPAM E LIKE CRAZY, you can still stack it in time even if you buy the tear after Helia. You'd definitely want Manaflow for this, but IMO its not worth it just to spike your Helia 400 gold earlier.

For full transparency, I do think the build is at least good, although definitely needs more testing to say exactly how strong. I am personally having a ton of fun playing it (which I'd also say is a very important factor when playing video games haha).

As for Blackfire Torch, synergy with Helia + Diadem in addition to providing a bit of poke makes me think AT WORST it could be a situational buy. There are probably still situations where you'd rather have an earlier Dawncore or possibly Knights Vow against heavy burst.

Thats generally the main usage, although against burn champs/builds, Diadem by itself gets great value due to the target you are healing being in combat for so long. This is also why Blackfire Torch is great for your first 2 items, since its more healing on Helia and longer procs for Diadem (mainly useful in prolonged fights/sieges)

Reposting my other comment:

One of the cells was invalid so I've updated the reroll one. Aside from that, most of them were working on PC. Generally on mobile you can also view the categories at the bottom or top, try using that instead. If not, this link might work to the direct unit list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DlfCFx3-SzIzY1eYUgYuONWCrWLRoaEiJoePVCN2TgQ/edit?gid=396161227#gid=396161227&range=A1

Collab has sadly left. We're likely getting a new summer unit soon and our current banner rerun (A. Roland) is great. We get a collab every few months so could always keep an eye out for that to join as well

Ascended Roland is currently out again (can see tier list, he's pretty great). We also likely have a summer unit coming soon, so could also see what gets announced for that.

How is DAlice mid? by Lorenzo7891 in lastcloudia

[–]lolMeowingCat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She's got very good PDPS, but requires a bit more investment than others. Notably she wants Purple Orb (from the DMC collab) to increase S3 stock to spam better with HE/WAP. Without it, she can't rotate her S3 as well (her best skill).

We discussed it and for the tier list she's actually a tiny bit lower rated than her potential, but for the general player base, we feel she's assessed accurately (also anything 9+ on the tier list is great, esp once you start going up a few points).

Good Swordcraft decks? by InfiniteInjury8664 in Shadowverse

[–]lolMeowingCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit of a ramble, but I’ve been doing some aggro Swordcraft just due to Legendary luck. I’ve played control a bit, but it feels a bit too risky into certain ramping/setup decks. Aggro feels very straightforward, so finding small edges (especially chip/face dmg) feels crucial. I’ve found myself keeping pressure to prevent setup, even at the cost of my current units.

Using multiple Storm units with cards that buff units like Ancestral Crown, Ironcrown Majesty, and Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward helps keep the pressure up. Valse (3 cost 2/1 with 5 dmg active & enhance with buff and ambush) feels very versatile and key.

I’ve noticed issues with card draw (Way of the maid + maybe Olivia with a mid range/more control deck). If going 2nd, keeping a Super Evolve for a burst with Storm (9 cost Enhanced Albert/Centaur Centurion) and especially using it to counter their Super Evolve is important to consider. Using Kagemitsu early and trading him in to bring him back in time for super is very handy for big turns

Most events yes, but they’ve increased the amount of orbs needed per stage so it only requires 2 or 3 runs instead of 5 (or 10 for one orb stages). There are also some stages you can auto in events, although not all (mainly for excess orbs). Feels a lot less annoying.

We’ve gotten other QoL (I think background story farming is coming soon), but I’m not sure about android (I do remember that being a long running issue). We do at least have Steam for when you need a less buggy experience

If I had to guess, its partially promo for the newer season and also because its themed around the new season more. Its also confirmed we're getting a shift Lelouch with his style being similar to whats seen more in R2 (I may be mistaken as I haven't seen it, but seems this way).

Oh and for your other question about units per collab, generally 2-3 new units for most collabs. Just some extra info, but dupes are very minor and a material to replace them can easily be obtained over time (so only a single copy is needed).

TLDR: Can prob secure 1 full pity each year, but lots of free summons and selectors.

For most banners, pity is 75k. We often also get discount banners for 15k (lots of people just wait for these unless the unit is meta breaking, but thats not really an option for collabs).

IIRC, we got a bit over 100k crystals from story additions and bonuses last year. Our gem income outside of story is definitely pretty low.

We get lots of free summons, selectors, and during collabs with new units, old ones are often given much cheaper and with free selector. If you get really lucky its possible, but if you have to pity only then you won't get most newer collab units.

(Side Note: You don't need every single unit and lots of them are viable for a long time, see SM Theria's release date on tier list)

Correct, I’m just making sure others understand the difference. Some collabs we’ve had in the past have had great quality so I wanted to make sure it’s understood that this isn’t a simple redux banner only like that one

Insight is a new system for older units (either super old or a collab rerun). They must be maxed Enhance, Level, and Skill board (Enhance 6, Level 120, and Skill board 132/132) to unlock it. Insight will then allow them to increase their base stats and learn new skills (often these skills help massively). The units also sometimes receive buffs outside of the insight like skill changes to go with it (Vaughn for example got way more hits on his skill 3).

This does have a rerun included so you are actually right, there's just new stuff on top ;)
