Man this got a little crazy overnight lmao. I'll post a few matches from last night that I think I could have drafted better once I get everything booted up

  1. this guy caught me WAY off guard, only thing I can think of is maybe I took Taor a little early but his last-2 pivot into high speed turn1 nuke was really good. Even with Neph+Robo I wasn't gonna outspeed Visachel+Kass or Sonia. honestly not sure how I should have responded pre-emptively

  2. Douglas wasn't a great pick here into Moore DarkRobo, knowing I might need to ban his LP (which I did). Probably should have gone with something more punishing to his cycling or AOEs - maybe Antares or Diana?

  3. This guy's Douglas actually somehow annihilated my Kinki. Triple ATK Douglas tech? Madge I do think maybe I pivoted too early and tried to pivot back but I realized he could LP another immunity and have it up permanently unless I picked 2 strippers

  4. Kind of sacked - missed 2 strips on Woosa (all robo s2 AND Haegang s2) and couldn't keep his buffs off

  5. Actually thought I had this one but couldn't keep his Camilla down long enough, and she had Theo passive so she kept freezing my wind robo until he died lol. Maybe Tesa LP since he was pretty passive heavy, I could have either gotten Neph through or put oblivion down on annoying passives to push through

don't look at me the whole point of this thread is I don't know what I'm doing shrug like yak said fire up your own thread where you can go way more in-depth with your box, strats, specific replays etc

I also wanna post some wins I wasn't super happy about - wins where I feel like I got lucky or even downright sacked

  1. Went back and forth a lot, felt like I was splitting my focus too much. Maybe should have focused more on Wedjat to just get him down faster since rat kept resisting my def breaks. Only won because he misplayed and stripped Masha immunity, which let her steal a turn and nuke a 50% Juno. Then again maybe even he dismounted her she would have nuked her so idk

  2. Kinda got lucky with a couple good Tesa revenges, even though he missed a few oblivions despite 60+12acc on s3 (and I don't think Ragdoll runs 100res lol). Ended up rev-oblivioning Juno right before he died which let me finish her off without her infinite-sustain into Neph

  3. I think this guy gave up too early - I got kinda lucky with wind robo landing s3 on Juno after Laima so I could chain it into Woosa still, and got lucky again with good pushbacks onto Juno later that match to keep her from healing everyone through dark robo s3. tbh if he hadn't quit so soon his Juno might have kept his Laima alive just long enough to proc out of stun and s3, or his Vela could have done the same. basically was counting on wind robo landing pushbacks on fire mons and nobody proccing out of stun for the full cleanse

comps like this still give me a lot of trouble. Maybe I should have pivoted sooner idk but I feel like even when I pivot I hit the wall and get despair stunned and/or reset and/or debuffed to hell and back Sadge

well yea, the moment you pick Neph Haegang without any good follow up/set up ld5s u already lose the contest, maybe try to go more agressive on the contest with eshir 33 lead?

i also notice that u pick Taor pretty early, he's like an answer for those kinki/bruiser picke, not like u can slam him down anytime, because he need def break to nuke down or supports like zibala for double s2 nuke. People always ban your neph because she's the only thing that provide def break, and they just tank your whole team and then u lose.

after the strim yesterday, i think u might want to use CP more often, he will be your secondary def breaker and extra control, also move taor into last pick or double last pick taor/something outside of kinki. pivot into racuni is fine and all but your kinki has low atk, u can drop his tankiness and put a lots more ATK on him so whenever they let both neph kinki through u can actually nuke them.

the problem with wind robo is he's element and very easy to play around, i think u only want to use him when u can actually double robo them, else just stick to double stripper Hae/CP/Moore double AOE Neph/CP and then your nuke threat, this might be way easier than just hoping then dont ban neph and u can nuke them down. your draft without neph is really easy to get fked by RNG

the problem with contesting is that my swifts just can't keep up - my 24lead Eshir gets outsped by 33lead Gianas, and if they ban Eshir I don't have another competitive swift mon as backup. I used to run Neph -> Eshir CP -> Psama Triton but it gotr really unreliable - even if I managed to outspeed Triton wasn't very good at pushing back things like Chiwu or Sekh who would just cut and disable my followup

I do pick Taor early sometimes - usually when I'm not sure what kind of 2nd stripper I need and they've already grabbed Miles so the risk of Leo is low. Maybe if I grab Haegang I need to just commit to the robo, or go back to Eshir CP strats and try to pivot to a pair of solo mons with my last 2 if they follow and try to race - then I just ban whoever is most likely to survive the soloing (or despair stun me to death)

somewhat related, I did rerune Kinki earlier. I don't remember his old stats very well but I think I got him a bit more atk. At this point the only way I'm getting more atk is by switching to a slot 6 atk but I think any less tankiness will be a problem - if I get def broken by something like a Sekhmet or Vanessa (max acc so res won't help) he already stops countering Olivers which is just instant loss since he'll never move again

With your team slot6 atk is fine tho

inland tartan
#

I can run with this

#

or I could get a little bit of tankiness back for a little less atk

New "wtf is this" comp - I think I actually might have been okay if I banned Riley instead of Julianne, was just worried he'd ban Kinki (banned Neph instead). The Eshir might have been premature into Riley Shiz too but I wasn't sure who to go for here since that can go a lot of ways and I've been reminded today that def break into Eshir s3 is kinda nasty

#

yeah I think the double onimushas win this if riley is banned

#

also you're right eshir is a bit odd there

#

this guy is not contesting at all, he conceded turn 1 in his first picks

#

some nephthys owners pick neph tiana bastet here and just cleave the bruiser players

inland tartan
#

I used to do that but would find they just ban the dd and eat my hits or ban Tiana and make me pray for CP strip, which into Ragdoll would feed them a turn half the time Sadge

#

I need a better answer to fully-conceded turn2 players like this, guess I could have gone for dark robo

#

that one guy. what's his name. uhhhhh Hanwul

proven bough
#

wait let me check his history

inland tartan
#

Hanwul cleave lol

proven bough
#

wut

#

that's kinda funny

#

he goes moore cp middle picks here

#

against a similar bruiser opening

inland tartan
#

I tried to match it with Sige but he doesn't work as well into a lot of the cleave counters like Abellio. In this case I would need to flip a coin - if he bans Tiana I need to ban Ragdoll so I don't give him a turn with CP strip, if he bans Sige I need to ban the Leo so Tiana can actually do damage. And I always seem to guess wrong lol

#

Yeah I tried to do that kind of team too but I never got it to work for some reason, figured I just didn't have the runes for it or something. He made it look so easy but every time I tried my Miles would get banned, Mo gets controlled by late control picks and I just sit there and wait to die

#

like in that example I would probably go for the Nana ban since the comp is kinda nuke-centric now and I would expect a Miles ban but with Valantis on the board I know he's gonna steal a turn as soon as Moore sends s2 and then I'm not getting another turn
