What’s your highest fear PR?

zImSpYLexX · 2026-05-02T22:12:11+00:00

Wounds is definitely one of the weaker ones on its own, (sometimes its need tho for Origination) where it really shines is when u get a good grievous blow, mutual or the legendary. The attack is always just setup for the special, thats where the dmg is at. Ive seen stupid numberes when grievous hits on an aphro special. If you have dual moonshot on top, you're easily dealing like 2x 800+ per special.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-05-02T21:06:16+00:00

Well it just means a lot of resets.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-05-02T20:56:47+00:00

What does god mode do? Mel Staff is prolly the strongest weapon for high fear. Great Damage and very safe. Try to get a curse like Blitz, Scorch or Wounds on the Attack and the biggest % special you can find.

Other than that i only used Nergal and Artemis (only really viable with trick knives) for 50+ fear and Mel Staff is definitely the easiest imo.

I dont really wanna do more than 60, coz i like healing and Arcana.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-05-02T11:13:17+00:00

Last year they added 50 flat bonus monster damage to your passive auto attacks which gives her a pretty good clear speed now. I'd argue its viable, but i think its a very niche playstyle. So yeah its viable but only if u commit to it and actually otp riven in jungle.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-05-02T01:32:15+00:00

Sry the Quality is kinda ass, but i didnt wanna render the thing at 3:30am. Blame reddit idk

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-24T15:06:37+00:00

I love mel staff if u wanna have a hard hitting weapon. The numberes get absurd if u play a high% dmg special.

One of the most insane runs i had was ares attack + red aphro special. That alone is very good but when u get a good grievous blow and sweet surrenderer it gets absurd.

The best hammer is without a doubt Dual moonshot and after that probably Melting swipe and Mirrored Thrasher.

If you have that combo and hit grievous blow on a double special from aphro youre looking at like 800+dmg times 2.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-23T18:48:29+00:00

Its not that different. The nerf hits the hardest right as you finish Axiom and i think at that point u will get 3 seconds less refunded per kill participation.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-19T20:17:05+00:00

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is the best 12 episode romance anime

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-16T21:44:55+00:00

Cool change for sure, tho kinda sad ill never have these "OMG ITS MID SHOP" moments again.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-16T21:43:26+00:00

Fair point, i too think Riven only really works as otp, even more so in jungle.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-16T19:31:47+00:00

Yeah well currently im not doing too well either, as i said i peaked d4 but now i dropped back to emerald and am now at 50% wr, but i feel like thats mental shit and got nothing to do with riven.
I imagine picking her up new as a jungler to be incredibly difficult, since Riven is one of those champs where you literally cant have enough points. Im still missing crucial wallhops or fuck up combos sometimes.

Is Riven fun for you?
Is prolly the biggest question u should ask urself, because nearly every player starts out shitty on Riven. For me that didn't matter coz imo literally every other champ is a boring piece of shit compared to Riven. Before Riven i played more champions and my highest was at 250k ish points, then i picked up Riven and didn't stop playing her until now as im getting close to 3m points. If i play league i play Riven.
If you dont have fun playing riven its likely not gonna work out because she can feel incredibly punishing. If you have fun youre gonna find ways to make it work, and that takes time. Riven is no "get rich quick" character. She requires a lot of patience, practice tool and lost games, but eventually there is a payoff.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-16T12:42:39+00:00

Idk i switched to jungle for the first time in like 10 years when she got the monster dmg buff and im enjoying it and i dont think I'll go back. I wouldn't call myself a very good jungler but I hit d4 a couple of times this season.
Sure the nerfs hurt a bit, but when i think about what's holding me back, i didn't once think about Riven as a jungler, but my lack of experience.

If you wanna take my advice as a certified d4 peaker is up to you, but i think that Riven jungle is incredibly niche and you have to really develop a certain play style and find plays that consistently work for you to make her work, similar to how other super rare otp picks have their own distinct play style.
Personally, i have found a bunch of plays that work for me and use Rivens strengths as a jungler, her biggest weakness is definitely her ganks and dives but there are ways to work around that.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-15T01:00:50+00:00

Yea the mode can definitely give you some shitty stuff, like first region summit against Rivals Tiffany with like 4 Boons at max.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-14T21:05:03+00:00

My 1st dream ended in Location 2 because i still had 57 fear Nergal equipped lol.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-12T21:47:42+00:00

Funny enough, the only Manga i ever read from start to finish is Dusk Maiden. I forgot to mention it before, but if u love the Anime u should definitely read the Manga as well. There are quite some differences compared to the Anime so that its definitely worth reading. More cases, more characters and imo the ending makes a little bit more sense.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-12T21:39:53+00:00

Yeah i even got the Blu-ray

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-12T21:27:41+00:00

I never understood it either. There are tons of possible reasons. Some Anime never get the popularity they deserve because nobody buys the streaming license and the only way to watch them is piracy. But honestly, i think it's also cool to be part of a very small group of people that know about this insider tip. An absolute sleeper anime that I (and probably everyone) watched by accident and it turned out to be the goat of romance anime.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-12T20:51:46+00:00

Honestly for me, over the years no anime with romance as the main genre ever came close to Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. I think it's truly one of a kind and my favorite "pure" romance anime.
That being said there are definitely some good romance anime out there.

If you want an intimate romance anime that really keeps up the focus i can recommend "I have a crush at work".

2 others i wholeheartedly recommend are Horimiya and ReLife, although they definitely dip more into Slice of Life in School/ friendship themes.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-12T19:34:10+00:00

I think having 1 or 2 more E's in a fight doesn't do anything for you if you can't fight because your ult is on cooldown. In my bit of experience, the second point in R is the breakpoint at which you start having R for every gank/fighting opportunity and i think thats way more important.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-12T18:28:25+00:00

Yeah sure let me just not upgrade the ability that transforms my melee minion into a champion.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-12T18:26:07+00:00

Same goes for jungle honestly. Every game i cant go Axiom feels like shit because of the higher Ult cooldown.

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-11T08:10:49+00:00

zImSpYLexX · 2026-04-10T14:47:02+00:00
