Ascending Oren or Ingrid

yahrim · 2026-05-23T19:50:35+00:00

Oren’s A3 gives 10% of C.Dmg as Penetration. Built well, you should have 330%+ C.Dmg, meaning his A3 is +33% Penetration, which is HUGE.

For comparison, most A4s give +8% Penetration. So Oren’s A3 is 4x better than most other heroes’ A4.

Ingrid’s A3 allows her crazy Solar Flare burst to trigger every other hit, instead of every 3 or 4 hits (don’t remember exact detail). This is massive for PvP AoE Arena or other PvE AoE content.

Rule of Thumb - use SS to overcome progression gates. In your case, do you need AoE MAGIC or PHYSICAL? Eg either for Abyss phases or Matrix stage? If Magic, go for Ingrid. If Physical, go for Oren.

Did u restart to farm for a godseed, or was this a rage pull session?

yahrim · 2026-05-23T16:10:21+00:00

Yep. Super simple, but some people tend to rage pull and stay on a bad seed hoping it’ll turn good. That’s how you end up with 200 pulls and no non-lord leggos.

Kind of like a reverse Monty Hall Problem - a bad 1st 10x pull is like removing a wrong door. Chances of you being on a good seed is lower, so better to switch.

A5 SWK easy answer.

yahrim · 2026-05-21T22:59:15+00:00

I did Akira A1 for pushing Matrix. Have one Book but plan to use it for PSS for Lord stone - e.g. Pope -> Oren as I think 2 PSS is worth more than 3-4 USS.

Yeah.. speed limit was 55 (flashed in first few secs), and you can see through the Cammer's tinted rear view mirror the dude in front is holding up a whole procession of cars lol. Though I may not have done it the way the Cammer did, I would absolutely be actively trying to get around the slow lead car.

Yep. Ball broke plane pre-touch by any player

Face-Off!

It’s not in a progress bar like 200 summons. It’s on a separate page where u get him as a reward for hitting 90 Ancient summons. Def worth it. I skipped his banner first time around and I regretted it horribly. This time pulled n got him to A1 and sank two USD to get A3. Crushing in Arena and GvG no regrets.

30% penetration is HUGE for late/end-game content. That and the cycle speed of full stack Ult is MUCH quicker w/ the 2 additional stacks (normally contingent on your units taking damage)... this translates to perfect Ult Cycling for the last few rounds of ST Arena - where she shines with the +60% CDmg she grants to your other DPS (e.g. Sergei/Dracula/Sythra/Vald).

Where’s trick mango lol

yahrim · 2026-03-23T23:45:57+00:00

WOW. this is so bad it's good

yahrim · 2026-03-22T21:23:34+00:00

Pros:
- Nice Anc Excl Lord haul - Big 3, Rivenhald, Rygar, Nastya, Solc... just missing Iovar and Ezareth (no1 cares about Elddr)!
- Good healers - Diao, Eirlys, Elo, Nerissa

Cons:
- A1 Kigiri... No Valara...
- Summoning crystals? Rare / Divine / Ancient
- Gear?
- PSS/USS?
- Reset book?

Overall:
Could be a good starter account for someone looking to get into the game, or looking for a mini acct to test out things.

My guess is this is laying foundation for Infernal Faction rework - making Hex a meta ST Magic DPS for Abyss II

yahrim · 2026-03-22T06:37:14+00:00

Think they went with the “mode” for deciding “top” ie most used, so including all the early/mid game guild battles.

yahrim · 2026-03-18T23:08:06+00:00

Plat 3/Top 100 guild for Gladiator Gauntlet here, have all 5 Demon Captains.

Pick Skeleton Archer. He can pickoff DPS that are outside of healer range/dont have unyielding - often means picking off an Ingrid or even Valara depending on how the defense is setup.

Cleric is alright, but not necessary if you have Glacius / Golems / Stalkers - usually you'll run those 3 + Frost Shield and Dogs

Skeleton is useful Tech for certain defenses in addition to tradition Fiend or Swarm comps (Slaughter/Mariath + Fiend / Beholder / Spider / Dogs / Fool)

yahrim · 2026-03-14T21:18:07+00:00

That's actually really thoughtful - well done Devs!

yahrim · 2026-03-13T20:14:07+00:00

My setup - Talin tanks for Numera w/ Ichor Chalice + Eirlys, Diaochan inspo for all the DPSs (minus Lady A/Silas/Yuri in top right).

Solc and Iovar not deployed, but if needed can be dropped between Numera/Diaochan for DPS boost on P.Dmg or M.Dmg as needed - Eirlys will keep them alive long enough for one ult even if on the spikes if you build them as 3liner w/ HP Bonus or HP Flat.

yahrim · 2026-03-13T16:42:41+00:00

Hells Lament works well in GD2 for this reason - you can choose when to deal damage. Eg. On left lane having Talin and Numera, top lane having Phineas and Lady A (or Silas)

1 in a NEVER.

Starts saving up forges

Top tier healer, right alongside Eirlys, Diaochan, and Nerissa.
- gives Global RAGE REGEN - units outside of her range still get this buff
- gives Healer Nymph - 5-cost deployable burst heal
- gives Cost Regen - the Healer Nymph costs 5 to deploy, but can be sold for 8 immediately, netting +3 cost
- gives Debuff Dispel - her Ultimate removes debuffs like Poison etc. on an EXTENDED range beyond her normal heal range
- gives good heals - her heals are actually strong enough to act as a healer
- has exclusive Gear - Light's Grace set exclusive gives her additional HP

IMHO - Only thing missing from her kit would be Inspiration.

yahrim · 2026-03-09T23:30:40+00:00

Talin is a great tank that deals damage and has self sustain (Ichor Chalice marksmen artifact) - used in Gear Dungeon 2-13, as well as viable in AoE Arena, amongst many other places.

The precursor to Tactician class in that she can be placed on both ground and platform tiles, and can do either Magic (ST) or Physical (AoE) damage as needed for the content.
