[dreamy arrow]

I agree some things feel absolutely terrible... Like the titanic shell shielding literally all totems, including its own... then our ai that just tries to capture invul totems or suicides over and over by running into the chaos aura totem.

[errant void]

Does heatshiver work to increase the damage of my totems?

Of course if I was freezing and everything else checked out.

[devout osprey]

whats the wording nooxy

from the top of my head i assume it works

[errant void]

@devout osprey Gain 100% of cold damage as extra fire damage against frozen enemies.

[devout osprey]

then it works sure

[errant void]

Thank you!

[dreamy arrow]

yup thats it for me, im taking a break from solo farming the league mechanic... its literally impossible with titanic shells in the enemy team... Eliminated since the turtle just shields its own totem alongside 6 other totems.

[valid isle]

reasonable AoE size.

[ebon swallow]

chaos one shot B"S

Tawanuku

x.x

[fallen terrace]

has anyone tried vaal cyclone for trials

[arctic cargo]

what's a good map for expidition and harvest im rf inquis if it matters

[valid isle]

was bored so i timed how long i stayed dead

48 seconds without reviving

[ebon swallow]

thats insane

[valid isle]

round 1 of a new tournament

i started with 6 units

they started with 11

what is balance

[solemn coral]

question - if i found a circle of transactions in market prices that net me a few divines in profit per hour just rinse and repeat due to mismatching rates between different common items, would that be considered immoral/against the rules?

[ebon swallow]

the fucking tutlr is such a damn pain

[valid isle]

wild

250% increased effect of quiver

[tawdry plover]

No, plenty of people do that

[quick kiln]

how do i get 40% increased toxic rain damage on my helm is it from ascendancy?

[rotund patio]

It's a labyrinth enchant.

same place where you get your as cendancy yes

[fluid warren]

okay death guides are such a bs unit

and why the ffuck is it they can kill my totems in 2 seconds but it takes me 30 seconds to destroy one of theirs....

[hollow panther]

how profitable is Heist? also are harbys worth running on the atlas

[bronze ivy]

Heist is fucking nutty once you get it set up

Titanic shell and the death guides need to be patched

[violet nymph]

Brittle ground don't work

[clear anchor]

Good job developers on the recent hotfix for the trials. You have completely overtuned the stun immunity when hitting enemies during their channeling. They cannot be stopped anymore.

[fluid warren]

yeah they dont get stunned, but when we do it last 10 seconds

[clear anchor]

Not only do they not stop, they don't even respond anymore when you come near them or uses a skill near them, along with the danger of getting 1 shotted by every enemy

[fluid warren]

the fucking blood dudes with the leech 1 hit me every time

i forgot the name of them they belong to utla

ill kill their hero, they respawn in 2 seconds, i get killed it takes 10 seconds, this makes no sense

im losing more rounds, and its like they get buffed when i destory 2 totems of theirs

literally cannot get past rank 130 and im level 80

theirs nothing else to try. stealth flankers, full attackers and escorts 2-3 defenders and i still lose final round of tourment

not that i see

utula had 1 death guide couldnt even get closs because that well was instant death

i hate to have to make a new char just to do totems, -60 sadly

i know that's the issue

one of them

but i dont have 1000 divs to drop hell i havent even manged 1

ive got liek 10 chaos to my name

i was saying im poor i dont have currency to just dumplol

guess it better be a totems as thats al the steamers play

well the i choose KB/PS wander, and raider, damage is good up till i kill their hero and charges expire, then i do 0 damage

and by the time im doing 0 damage, i lose 1-2 totems, because they all dont get stunned from being attacked. then hero respawns and its reapeat all for me taking 1 totem

and by the time i take the third, so fucking bs happens and they all get buffed

i choose it becaus i like wanders,but turns out they suck for this league

well i cant destory their totem because they attack me, i get stunnned then die

if i hold the battle in the middle, then their flankers get through because mine are braindead

the AI can down a totem in like 2 seconds with 3 enemies nearby and i dont get it

me it takes 20 seconds to make 25%

[valid isle]

until they fix mob hp/respawn time

there is no reason to kill enemies

[fluid warren]

so what to do then, just ignore the mobs, go after th totems clicking for 1 % while they chase and stun me

ive tried poking them down, they still win faster than i can take 1 out

[valid isle]

this fight im doing has 6 or 7 of those hidden lizard things

so i lost because everything ignored them

[fluid warren]

or maybe a raider was a fucking stupid idea for this league for just having fun...

no, im gonna try and poke them around.. again

[arctic cargo]

does defering something garentee that it will show up or only sometimes?

[valid isle]

im shocked though we are as many days in as we are with no real balancing yet

just some light fixes

same with no major bug fix

unless they cant figure out what is causing the bugs

[fluid warren]

or maybe i shoudl farm to 90 and try

[valid isle]

if they dont change either, it means you never actually do the mechanics though

and instead just do cheese and kite to exploit AI

[fluid warren]

okay so i didnt actually delete them this time it was a 4v4 and i just locked the battle at the bottom, seemed to work . hows that gonna work tho when its like 12v12

holdon you cant back out once you hit "start" or w.e

[wet harbor]

here's a funny question

is there anyone out there multiclienting and just having another character sitting in fights for a chance at loot?

[valid isle]

probably a ton of people are running +5

just because its a ton of free loot, and sometimes really good

[wet harbor]

most up to date information I can find says you can only have two PoE clients per physical machine though

but it seems ridiculous to imagine that people on broken builds aren't using loot mules

[dreamy arrow]

considering you get more unique bosses with more people... doubt to many people would try to abuse that

something interesting I saw though.... the trial, when started... picks everyone in your instance into the fight

meaning... you could invite people, kick them out of the party

invite more people

and do a 10+ man fight

[wet harbor]

just build an aurabot with a CWDT loop that automatically moves them around the arena

[little moat]

if titanic shell covers all enemy totems my flankers just afk in corner 😴

[valid isle]

im pretty sure the no-stun thing is a match dependent bug

rather than just individual unit bug

[steel tree]

so can we get an OFFICIAL word, the "FROZEN STATE" only applies to your team right? cause everytime I "ATTACK" a capturing enemy player they just walk away

[dreamy arrow]

now thats a first lol

[pulsar depot]

Tota just needs to take less time. That's really it. Maybe improve the players AI

If my AI was as competent as the opponents AI. I would be able to siege the front much quicker

[dreamy arrow]

the time spent is fine, I just prefer no loss to things like unbeatable titan shells

[pulsar depot]

It is satisfying once you throw yourself into a wall and the flankers are dead. That is a very satisfying form of torture

[dreamy arrow]

theres no better feeling than buying a titan shell and putting it on flank

atleast one AI that knows how to capture

[pulsar depot]

I will keep that in mind. Don't think I've seen that unit yet

I only beat one tournament. Do you retain your units between tournaments?

[tawdry plover]

No

But generally if you win, you'll start with some of the units from previous game. When you lose it tends to be less

[dreamy arrow]

I feel like getting a few units at the start makes it harder

since the enemy usually gets 1-2 more than you

[broken urchin]

what trade channel should I use to get an uber lab carry

[tawdry plover]

I find the rounds easiest until 12ish units. The first few you can usually just sprint to enemy side and assist ur flankers

[little moat]

https://i.imgur.com/aZNJdMD.png it keeps happening

[charred pulsar]

does anyone know what the website/tool that lets you track div card drops and approximate expected drops is? I'm pretty sure I saw empy using it but I can't find it and don't know what it's called.

[clear anchor]

ffs I've been stuck in a trial for 10 minutes because my attackers do not attack the totems and the enemies aren't destroying my totems and only focus on my living team

[tawdry plover]

You can relog if you think its lost

[silent kiln]

Any fresh starters?

[hard scarab]

Ranged spam to stop caps and kite to let fieldmaster or titanic shell Flankers win for you since ai is really bad at handling them

Also kill the guy who has titanic shells in his team early so you don't just auto lose

As long as you don't get one shot immediately you can generally have your Flankers take a few totems before the enemy can really progress then if you get the chance you can backdoor with fieldmaster walls

Big aoe on your defenders or fieldmasters as defenders are also good to try to have them stop caps

Since enemy ai gets easily distracted by walls

Basically cheese from start to finish because you'll never win by actually fighting

[hasty perch]

you can still somewhat cheese it

get increased duration and cremation and some aoe , then set your 3 cremations around your totems to cover as much as you can

also you can still chill mobs pretty hard to make them weaker and shock still boosts your mob's damage

[violet nymph]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[bold spade]

What are good build to play on tota content?

I'm playing hexblast mines and I'm having a (hex)blast, what are your ideas on a good build for this?

Also TotA looks very strong to get the level 90 in hardcore achievement, since death basically doesn't have any sort of problem

[fiery shuttle]

Bosses literally unplayable

Invisible exarch ball phase

Invisible maven memory phase

Literally cant play this most simple endgame things

[rich bolt]

Some of the artifacts for the challenge just don't seem to pop up in the vendors' lists at all, even after dozens of matches. Is there some trick or just rng? Plus their item lists seem to stay the same throughout a tournament (same equippable items for sale, same field artifacts for sale again even if I buy them multiple times to see if the list refreshes).

[native copper]

Looking for a mentor whom I can ask my million questions in dm. I am a very sweaty Gamer and want to progress endgame fast

[muted plinth]

Kinda wanna do the league mechanic a bit, but it's been hard to find the right time as it barely grants any XP.

When should I do it?

[pliant estuary]

Man I dc'd in a trial and lost 5c sadge

[stark elbow]

idk if u can do em urself then it's better to do them I think

I do have shitton of them but I can get like half the rewards since my current build is squishy af

[nimble venture]

man this feels like playing league all over again: dumb teamates, smurf opponents, slow climb

12 points per match is so sloooooow holy hell

[wet bolt]

what's up with the mobs "goliath of the night" 100% focusing on us even when we are on the other side of the map?

and oneshot

how do people counter it

[bronze ivy]

I run away and try to snipe its totem

Frost Wall is pretty helpful

[nimble venture]

running is the only defense we have in that mode lol

[bronze ivy]

I only just realized "TotA" is a play on DotA"

[nimble venture]

ye dota = defense of the ancients

some old gamemode of wc3

[bronze ivy]

You won't believe it, but it's still SRS. Like it has been the past like ten leagues

[stoic sail]

I swear i'm starting to feel that units only get stunned when they get damaged on life, so units with energy shield can just keep channeling

[bronze ivy]

Interesting hypothesis. Have you tried getting added chaos damage to see?

The enemies only get stunned for 50ms it feels like

[stoic sail]

No, might try it later. I swear that sunset sages and other units with energy shield just ignore me hitting them and keep channeling. The channeling isn't interrupted and there's no stun icon above their head, even for just a few frames

It almost looks like they stop channeling out of their own volition just to not raise suspicion

I'm 100% sure i'm hitting them (have resolute technique allocated) and they keep channeling - sunset sage is easy to see because she channels from a range and there's a beam between her and the totem, but other units like mystic prophet also feel like a pain in the ass to kick from my base until they lose all ES

[bronze ivy]

I swear they stealth nerfed the loot in one of the hot fixes too

I'm seeing way fewer good rewards lately

[wet bolt]

same for me

they just keep channeling

and im poison srs necro so it's almost purely chaos damage

i feel like it's not related to energy shield

it's more like

"haha ai better get f*cked players"

and random oneshot on top of it

if im getting interrupted and stunned by the wind of any spell they should too when im focusing on a mob that's destroying a totem

[umbral ruin]

why do so many people use LA even tho its a mapper and league's mechanic summons lots of chonky boss like enemies?

[shy steppe]

Even if they have no es, they just keep channeling while being spammed with shockwave totems. I can't find at any point where a single warrior isn't getting hit, but totem is still getting incremently channeled.

[bronze ivy]

In theory LA would be decent because you could stun enemies from off screen when they attack your totems. Obviously doesn't actually work like that

[stoic sail]

If you're talking about poe ninja numbers, maybe the LA players are those guys that don't seem to care to anything besides HH map farming

[dusk inlet]

Omni works with tattoos?

[umbral ruin]

then what builds do people use for actual gameplay?

[shy steppe]

i mean omni builds already had excess omni. Tattoos can probably be stronger than the extra omni.

[bronze ivy]

Actual gameplay? You mean league mechanic or what?

[umbral ruin]

yes

[stoic sail]

Honestly i don't think there's THE build for the league mechanic specifically, at least not yet. Maybe the boneshatter guys are having fun as they tend to be tanky and capable of stunning. It's more about your team comp right now.

[pale hemlock]

Tanky dps.

[bronze ivy]

Not everyone does league mechanic. Seems like best builds use a knock back+interrupt mechanic to actually interrupt enemies

[stoic sail]

Anyone playing cold builds can confirm if it's somewhat easy or even possible to freeze the enemies in the league mechanic?

[pale hemlock]

Just wear knockback gloves

[wet bolt]

im kinda suspecting there might be optimal team comps

but idk how im supposed to have 4 goliaths and 3 spear dancers like the enemy team

its financially impossible

[stoic sail]

Fieldmasters + proximity shield dude or sunset sage on flankers is the hot shit right now

[wet bolt]

proximity shield dude?

which clan is it from

[stoic sail]

But there is a bit of a roguelike vibe to it, in the end you kinda have to know every unit and have some idea how to use it

[stoic sail]

Valako, Kiloava's shop

[wet bolt]

ive been using sunset sage on flanks yeah its so good cuz they capture them from range

[stoic sail]

It's an intermediate unit, around 1.1k favor

[wet bolt]

thank you i'll try them

[stoic sail]

He might sell them besides the usual thunderbird

[wet bolt]

oh that reminds me

is there a way to reset the shops consistently

or is it just random

save up money and pray?

[stoic sail]

Not that i know of, i think it's just random. Wouldn't be surprised if someone finds some way to manipulate the shops, tho

[wet bolt]

[stoic sail]

Seems like once they're set on which idol, item and units to sell, they just keep selling those all tournament long

Even the units that come already equipped with an item, which looks like some kind of limited offer, is restocked.

[wet bolt]

they sometimes bring higher tier bois but im not really sure when exactly if there's an exact round they start

[stoic sail]

I feel like it's round 4 onwards

[umbral ruin]

can someone give me a link to a decent lightning arrow leaguestarter guide?

[jagged marsh]

can some1 explain beyond - i need this node to start spawn? or beyond portal chance work too?

[red warren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRGIVYLvpuA good guide

[red warren]

because your characters damage at a certain rank is insignificant and doesn't matter

[red warren]

check out maxroll crouching_tuna's guide

https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye-league-starter

[red warren]

beyond portal chance works too

[jagged marsh]

what different?

[red warren]

one is a chance for the beynd mechanic to spawn in ur map

the other (sextant or mod rolled on a map) always spawns beyond

[jagged marsh]

i mean this on atlas

[red warren]

then yeah, the beyond mechanic is inherent in your map and klling mobs has a chance to spawn portals

much like the map mod

i tought about using stash but if i have no char left on the league wont the stash be deleted?

[thick stratus]

lol i can win round 6 by afking kinda funny

[shy steppe]

Does the shockwave from purifying flame interrupt channeling?. You can scall its aoe larger than a full screen so purifying flame totems could be pretty good if so.

it doesn't. man league mechanic is so bad for aoe skills. Seems like projectiles are the only thing consistent when it comes to interrupting channels.

[tawdry plover]

You have 24 character slots no?

[zealous spear]

alright thanks

[umbral ruin]

yo guys is pohx RF or Zizaran's EA tankie?r

[livid trout]

RF is pretty tanky if you use the jugg variant instead of inquis

i havent used EA so cant comment on that one

[pale hemlock]

I would call champ EA medium tanky. Tanky for maps but not tanky enough to survive big hits.

Rf is very tanky but single target damage is subpar.

[jolly epoch]

Poison srs is pretty much good for anything, things it doesn’t do well imo are legion and breach. Things it does really well is blight, sanctum, and expedition, but with expedition gotta make sure you don’t pop block and chaos immune remnants

Also pretty good for bossing if that’s something you care about

What rank ya at

[topaz pine]

can i not lose the last round and reroll the rewards? even though ive never lost in this tournament it says eminated on the next loss why?

[dusty cosmos]

you may have dc'd in a match. that is a loss

[topaz pine]

that wasnt the last match im facing the same tribe again right now and now it also has the same symbol next to the face

[dusty cosmos]

correct, if they don't have the elimation symbol you have to face them twice. if you have it that means you lost somehow in the tournament

does anyone know if the dead reckoning craft require 20% strictly or can it be a corrupted 23% skele gem

[umbral ruin]

do you guys usually allocate the nodes on top of atlas tree that give scarab, sextant and extra chance for boss/synthesis maps or skip them?

[graceful ravine]

I seem to be having an issue the past 10-15 Tournaments I've only been able to get to Round 6, it doesn't even say "Final" anymore but yet it ends anyone know why?

[shy steppe]

final is when you only have 1 life left and it is the final match

if there is only 1 person left look to see if they are going to be eliminated. if they are, then it is final match

[graceful ravine]

Ah okies, yeah I don't die anymore so probably why, but I'm not getting passed round 6 anymore, I'm sure I got higher than that before

[shy steppe]

yeah. the tournament is double elimination for everyone. If they didn't lose a match the whole time, then you have to beat them twice at the end.

if they don't have the red symbol, they haven't lost yet and will need to be beat twice .

[graceful ravine]

For example I was at Round 5 with 3 people left, I fought 1 person to remove them, then there was only 1 left

[shy steppe]

yeah. the other 2 fought and 1 got eliminated.

[graceful ravine]

Ah right I get it aha

Would have thought I would have gotten that by now at Rank 670 😄

[stuck lodge]

is it a bug that goliath of the night nearly always one shot

[shy steppe]

I'd just consider that whole tribe a bug and best to eliminate in first 2 rounds

[stuck lodge]

okay

i mean how did he get through testing this way... i love GGG but something you guys do stuff that makes no fucking sense

[tribal thistle]

theres no testing, its just a very small team that does poe 1 content while the majority of the company works on poe 2

and itll only get worse with each league

the fact that they love this off screen one shot stuff makes me worried

[tribal thistle]

because they dont know better

hey, I wanted to ask for advice. I have 3 apothecaries, and I'm debating what's better for achieving goal of full set. Currently it's crimson jail with harb + boxes + shrines, but would it be better if I farmed classic currency on cemetery with legion + harb or harvest? Legion drops a lot of stuff, but doesn't work well on Crimson map. Any suggestions or question if I missed some info?

[shy steppe]

best way is harvest ofc.

[red wharf]

could explain it a bit more? Does harvest really stand out money making-wise to other methods? @shy steppe

[proper widget]

u prob want expedition

it works decent on those maps u can put bomb down hallways

[shy steppe]

it's outdated. The only tattoo that held out in price is the projectile one. So only really try to keep Ahuana (Ramako) alive

It's 6 div. the next best tattoo is 68c.

[next epoch]

do you understand how Soul Eater works?

[swift harbor]

not a 100%

[shy steppe]

Maybe Rakiata as well, sword not 6-L is like 1 div.

[next epoch]

while a monster has soul eater, it gets a temporary buff every time something dies near it (with a limit of one monster getting a buff for each thing that dies). so it's good for clearing in maps, but will fall off pretty hard on bosses

[swift harbor]

Ooh ok ok. Got it now. Thanks a lot!

[dreamy arrow]

if you cant beat em, join em

[thick nexus]

Anyone know why in TOT, sometimes I cannot leech back my HP effectively like I do in normal red maps?

[dreamy arrow]

Are you telling me, you arent one shot?

[next epoch]

I suspect that the game is doing some funky adjustments, similar to PvP scaling, to put player and monster damage on the same level in trials. Wouldn't surprise me if it were buggy in ways that broke leech

Without some kind of scaling in place, either the player would one-shot everything, your allied warriors would be useless, or the enemy warriors would one-shot the player. In PvE content, player life/damage is on a completely different scale from monster life/damage

[little moat]

there's an enemy mystic prophet in my arena that does not leave

carries on rounds and even fresh tournaments

[low ridge]

Hey Guys, question, when you are running your turnaments, do you save the toughest opponents for the last couple of rounds? I've been doing that, but I find that I never ever win a tournament. I get to the last 2 rounds and then I just get obliterated. It's not even close...............

[shy steppe]

why would you save the toughest for last?

do them first lol

[low ridge]

are they a bit easier when you do them first?

[shy steppe]

yeah.

[low ridge]

okay I'll try that in the future, thanks

[fresh kelp]

Can anyone confirm if Honored Tattoo of the Berserker works with EA Ballistas?

[abstract pelican]

what's the pattern of stronger units appearing in shops?

is it complete rng?

[wet harbor]

Am I way off or is the NPC chatter pretty obviously implying at least one of the ||women in the halls of the dead was a man in life||

[tepid raven]

anyone know how items like this work?

do these effects apply to all your totems? all totems including enemy? only totem of the guy item is on?

the way it reads it sounds like each of those mods apply to different groups of totems but that would be strange

[bold spade]

The item of the unit you're using it on

[wraith scarab]

Hey guys. I'v been really strugling with my build and the struggle party comes from my lack of generating power charges. I have absolutely no idea why i'm not generating them so if someone could help me out i would really appreciate it! https://pobb.in/MBsYBKKEPsCo

I got power charge on critical strike support + Manaforged arrows + frenzy as my setup and it is generating frenzy chareges just fine

Ok i figured it out

oh god im' so dumb

hahahahahaah

I'v been grinding tier 16 maps and i have 115 / 115

Managed to kill searing

oh lord... Ty anyways 😄

[runic zephyr]

how are speardancers and titanc shells not hotfixed but knockback was instantly removed, this league man

[jagged marsh]

can some1 tell what max lvl of ancestors? 84 in arena?

[bold spade]

Instawin is instanerfed, instalose is somewhat predictable lmao

[dark quest]

am i crazy or do enemies in the league mechanic keep channeling through getting hit

[bold spade]

Yeah they do

League mechanic has a ton and a half bugs

Rewards are good, and even through bugs the mechanic is enjoyable so it's all good for me

[rigid stream]

Its Not a Bug, you need to do a Minimum amount of Hit dmg or knock them.back. to Stop npc

[bold basalt]

bruh

[bold spade]

Huh, TIL

Is there any tooltip that says so? Or is it speculation?

[violet nymph]

Jesus fucking christ when they will fix this fucking turtle

it's an automatic loss

every time

i guess i will just save money and buy it myself

[bold basalt]

have to outdamage the turtle

i am at 750ish and with 1.3mil dps its manageable

[violet nymph]

it depends of their team comp

and what units he's making immortal

[vernal aurora]

Its so funny people are still complaining

As people are actively farming 2k rank

[violet nymph]

yes, as i do

whats the point of this comment?

[vernal aurora]

Iono sounds like skill issue

Tbh

[violet nymph]

loss of words

for this one

[shy steppe]

It's speculation that it is supposed to work that way. But it for sure does work that way. You can spec Ancestral bond to test. Dealing 0 damage doesn't allow you to interrupt. However it isn't true that it only works with hit damage. You can interrupt with rf after all.

[wet bolt]

what's killing me here?

[bold spade]

Kiloava's ray of death

[bold basalt]

this is gonna be squire

100percent

[wet bolt]

how can i avoid it

[white sail]

[bold spade]

Wait for the audio cue and dash/blink

[wet bolt]

i didnt realize an audio cue, will pay more attention next time thanks

[slate loom]

the oppressor squire elegant round shield.

[bold basalt]

no wae

[violet nymph]

deppressor

[violet nymph]

by moving faster than you're already

[pine shell]

I love this league lol

[bold basalt]

any advice for storm conduits and proximity shields

[pine shell]

got a divine as a reward for the match , my 2nd divine , I am rich

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/845277564460204062.gif?size=48

I really hope they make this permanent league mech for the game like sanctum

[violet nymph]

me too

[bold basalt]

the mechanic really vibes with me

despite it not being like giga rewarding

most at once I got 5divs at aroun 500

and 2x4 divs from one full trial, at around 350

also some nice stuff like hyrri armour

[pine shell]

isnt that already a lot lol

[bold basalt]

well, its a lot if you look at it as reward for 1 match

but not if its from 3 days of playing

[violet nymph]

its gamba almost like everything in this game

[bold basalt]

yeah

but as far as PoE gambas go

this one only costs time

[violet nymph]

as almost every gamba in poe

back in the sanctum everyone was swimming in divines

i couldn't find even one

the best offer was exalts

same goes for this mechanic, i saw recently a dude with mb in reward pool

it's just gamba

[wet bolt]

speaking of divines, tough choice

[shy steppe]

all meta crafts going to be changed to blessed orbs. get them now while you can.

[round root]

better have take these Blessed Orbs

[wet bolt]

why does this guy have a purpleish frame?

[tawdry plover]

Higher tier units show different

[austere whale]

ngl its very stupid that the best strat is not even casting any spells just running around tapping totems

[lunar stirrup]

Ancestor Challenge Guide
The challenge guide for this league is out now guys! Good luck 😎
https://redd.it/162pb1e

[heady vigil]

what kind of fucking dmg does the goliath of night do

[austere whale]

I'm so confused about this league sometimes

like it feels like 2/10 times my units dont do anything and the other 8 times they win by themselves

it's utterly baffling

[bronze ivy]

Overwhelms physical damage reduction

[crisp vortex]

anyone know what the build sheet means when it says doctor's flask???

[violet nymph]

what's the problem, wasn't everyone asking for melee buffs?

[torpid turtle]

@crisp vortex Doctor's is a suffix. meaning it's one of the 2 stats on the item when rolled as a magic item.

[slender moss]

Might be a mistranslation of surgeon's, which is the flask charge gain on crit mod

[torpid turtle]

also what rootbeer says 😛

[crisp vortex]

its for ice shot deadeye

if that helps

[slender moss]

Ya you'll be critting a lot

[crisp vortex]

so surgeons?

what does of the impala or of the dove and etc after the flask name mean?

[slender moss]

Oh there's actually a doctor's prefix for flasks for the same effect but it's a much lower tier. Surgeon's is the highest tier, you want that one.

Those are names of the effects that it gives, of the impala gives +% evasion rating for example

[silent coyote]

2 free 5 way runs already paid for PM BillyAndTheBussyBois in game

[viral prairie]

When you lose TOTA you always lose for the absolute dumbest reasons

Like the AI is just fucking shitting itself

And where is my forfeit button?

How is it that their AI defenders always do their job, and mine dont

[wet bolt]

also why do mobs like goliaths/spear dancers oneshot me but they dont oneshot enemy mobs when they are on my team

and they always have more money than me no matter what

the total mob cost is not even remotely close to theirs

[rugged dove]

does utula have something going on that would invisibly completely remove the ability to recover life?

I was doing fine against him for a few minutes and now I can't have RF on, things kill me in two hits, no poison no burning ground no bleeding no nothing that could possibly be degenning that fast

[viral prairie]

They all have bullshit powers, there's one team that steals flask charges and one that drains mana

I got ES regen on my life, so thats probably why I dont notice Utula's ability 🤔

[rugged dove]

yeah, but nothing I read on any of his warriors indicated anything like this

and now all his defenders have like 10 of each charge

[wet bolt]

did they have this unit?

[rugged dove]

I guess they must have

[viral prairie]

Gotta get their totem first I guess

Bullshit ability tbh

Same for Titanic Shell

[wet bolt]

titanic shell makes me wanna cry

[viral prairie]

It's not just annoying, its bullshit

Because your team cant deal with it

They literally cant kill it on their own

[wet bolt]

yep

[rugged dove]

I can't get any more of his totems because all his defenders are literally invulnerable at this point, and he can't get any of mine because his flankers are gone

[viral prairie]

I got lucky and managed to kill the titanic shell myself, otherwise I would have sat their defending for an hour

Your team mates should have the same stats as the enemy tbh

[wet bolt]

^^^^^^^^

[rugged dove]

I thought maybe I'd actually be able to win a tournament after ignoring it for 30 levels but no, every part of this mechanic was not thought out

[wet bolt]

speaking of

how do you guys deal with this guy's almost arena wide oneshot cleave?

multiple cleaves back to back*

[viral prairie]

I am frigid bond build, I run around him and keep him chilled

He is fucking bullshit OP, but his teams are usually pretty dumb

Unless he has a titanic shell defending, at which point, good luck with that

[wet bolt]

he usually has a lot of goliaths

so i have to keep running in circles

and when he does the cleave im not close enough to him to dodge

so i almost always die

[viral prairie]

My main tactic is distracting the enemy with my cold spectres and frigid bond chill, and letting my flankers win for me

[wet bolt]

and if i stay close to him he oneshots anyways

im playing posion srs necro

with 0 cc

that might be the problem then

[viral prairie]

What is SRS?

[wet bolt]

summon raging spirit

just damage

and hp/shield

being tanky doesnt help when they oneshot 5k hp with shield

so just some damage ig

[crisp vortex]

do bow attacks gain "on hit" mods or enchants?

[hollow crescent]

Ya, i respec to freeze and only kite them. This mechanic is a joke bc i can just perma freeze most of them. Best part, I Only need ONE of my flankers to reach their side and its game over. My friend on melee spec is fighting for his life at a pathetic ranking of 210.

[halcyon halo]

are there any good duo farming strats?

[bronze ivy]

On the poe build sub there's a guy that says he maxed curse effect, chill and uses temp chains/chill to slow down units. Then void sphere to group them

Could have someone do that and another person wipe totems or knock/dogs

[bronze ivy]

What do you use to freeze them? I'm Frost blades but I can't usually stop them entirely

[hollow crescent]

Frostblink totem

cant freeze boss tho

[cloud mantle]

can anyone who has this craft unlocked help me and craft it on a body armour?

[potent lily]

how dahell do you even fight tawhanuku

shit's totem have double hp ffs

[pale hemlock]

I usually fight bosses off screen with Shockwave totem

[strange laurel]

Sooo 2 div worth of AG lost in trials today... Is this a bug or working as intended

[ebon goblet]

if i have gravebind, and a dot on an an enemy with rarity support, my friend kills the monster with his hit. What skill is teated as the killing skill for rarity support?

[violet nymph]

this league mechanic is so fucking trash for melee, why cant i spawn with my energy shield full when i have my hp reserved and i get oneshot and spawnkilled the whole game, its so fucking bullshit i have no fun playing its, literally 2/10

[gray harness]

how come sometimes a first-round opponent will have 5-6 warriors already even though I can only have three?

[violet nymph]

because the league mechanic is not balanced around normal players but around some tornado shot freaks who will cheese it

[gray harness]

yeah it's just a huge feelsbad gamble. you can't check ahead of time so sometimes you just take a first-round L

[violet nymph]

with every enemy attack being a oneshot and enemies having hp of pinnacle bosses

and if i die once im stuck at spawn becasue i spawn with 0 ES and any attack kills me then, great balance

another bow exclusive league, this game is going downhill with these changes

[wet bolt]

it could still be somewhat okay if they removed this dude and titanshell

rengokurai or whatever his name is

[violet nymph]

very true

and respawning with full ES

[pallid anchor]

why I don't have Utula nor Kaom yet? I'm done with the campaign and I kill them both, they appear in my other characters

[wet bolt]

did you relog? maybe a visual bug

[pallid anchor]

let me try that, but I logged off yesterday in act 7 both of them should be long dead

yeah, nope :/ I'm going to try to finish the current tournament and see if that fixes it

ok finishing the current tournament and refreshing the instance fixed it

[jade rapids]

im digging the league mechanic after trying to dps stuff down and instead just build a good team

[median mulch]

Are there any difference in rewards in league mechanic, if you have no losses through the tournament, or if you have 1?
I am asking cuz on one hand it is good to 'roll' the last match reward through 'losing' it (logging out), but I am not sure of the fated rewards are not affected

[jade rapids]

might roll some sort of totem or minion build because meatshielding seems to be effective for channeling totems

lots of dinky projectiles that dont pierce

[wet bolt]

idk if im supposed to laugh

[viral prairie]

Just dont get hit

[wet bolt]

[viral prairie]

I dunno why they think offscreening is a valid level of difficulty btw

We've had leagues that had the same issue

Like betrayal on launch iirc

What rank is taht btw?

[wet bolt]

600 something

i can check after this match

[viral prairie]

That's very high

You getting good rewards?

[wet bolt]

in total i got maybe like 3 divines

from 0 to here

im hoping rewards will be better at the end

so im pushing

[viral prairie]

At the end? I think you already went beyond the end

Im 200 give or take and Kahu already almost one shots me

[wet bolt]

kahu is the big massive cleave guy?

i completely avoid him

most of the games if i avoid him he's dead by the end

[viral prairie]

Sometimes he worms his way into the finals

So, guess I'll die

[wet bolt]

so i never have to face him

yeah sometimes

then i just give up lol

[viral prairie]

It's a shame because his team is dumb as a brick, it's just him

[wet bolt]

he always has some turtles and a billion of the goliaths too

[viral prairie]

Maybe has has less/no turtles if you clap him early

Also fuck Maata and his six billion stealthy flankers

He isn't hard but man he is annoying

[wet bolt]

... i cant clap him early

[viral prairie]

Ye not at lv 600

his fucking aoe claps half the screen

[wet bolt]

yep

[grim gale]

need help for LA leveling.. now im 44 but LA-elemental dmg- trinity-fork support make ZERO dmg on bosses
now i use artillery ballista thats okay
but LA....
i use quil rain ^^

actual set up

[viral prairie]

I am probably right assuming Kahu is full phys?

Maybe I can shift his damage 🤔

[lunar stirrup]

Does anyone remember what does "minion" mod does on rare monster?

[rare tartan]

Does anyone know if stun/freeze effect the mobs differently in the ancestor trials? I’m thinking about trying a perma freeze or stun lock build for high rate games. I remember last year someone made a build that stunned bosses for like 40 seconds lol

[wet plaza]

dont use quill rain

[wet bolt]

it means theres another mob around that might be buffing them

like "minions explode cold on death" on a bigger mob type of thing

if im not wrong

[native copper]

Is it useful to upgrade every of my used gems when they reach lvl 20?

[jade rapids]

iirc you can vendor your level 20 gems to get a level 1 20% quality gem

[viscid fulcrum]

just trade in 1 gemcutters prism + lvl 20 gem to any vender to get back lvl1 20% quality gem

[sharp drift]

is it a bug that titanic shell can make immune its own totem? Or is there some interaction that i don't know about?

[wintry agate]

Has anyone tested if you can curse the minions and the leader in Trials?

Enfeeble is an interesting choice, why not temp chains for base race?

Or you have another source of reduced action speed/slow?

[pallid kayak]

how do i enable my friends to join me in my maps via hideout? not finding an option to enable/disable

[native copper]

But is it worth ?

So should I do it at all my gems ?

[feral spindle]

accidentally killed alira back in act 2 ;/

[wintry agate]

You can redo the bandits quest, search the PoE wiki, it should have the guide

[feral spindle]

I would need 20 orbs of regret that way

[kindred shoal]

How badly did 5way get nerfed? Is it still worth doing at lv 92?

[echo badge]

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2058761866747629933/B725F910DBF470FBA3E701E63022C6E1178B8940/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

rank 900 \o/

[kindred shoal]

Gz, I got about 6 div earnings by rank 500

What's it for you at 900

[echo badge]

feel about the same

got 3 divines from 1 fight at one point

you get alot of divs for sure doing this

winged sacrab also

[fluid warren]

so i changed to LA/ballista and im winning them now

[cursive canopy]

does AG lose all items if it dies in tota?

[fluid warren]

wtfcant we put like lani in hideout.. i need her currency

[cursive canopy]

So is that a yes?

so, might as well unequip it during tota o-o

I don't trust those mobs not to onetap, that sure hurts a lot

did the quick giga nerf affect temporal chains?

It making me tankier, do more damage and temp chains sounds breddy good

yeah, losing temp concerns me the most. Oh well, I had hope it might not lose shit, as deaths don't count n all that in tota

[idle willow]

anybody else just have random bloodstains showing up everywhere? lmfao

[hushed parrot]

day 9 and titanic shell still defends his own totem. BUT AT LEAST KNOCKBACK IS GONE. yes salty

[pale hemlock]

Turtle dude is kind of useless on your team but annoying on other team

[hushed parrot]

would not be annoying if the shit is not bugged

kill it or you cant win, but with low damage you cant kill it before the enemy leader banishes you

[idle willow]

from what I've heard, it specifically janks out when it's on escort (for some fuckin reason)

[hushed parrot]

YES

escort turtle decide to defend his own

also, escort sage decides to fucking defend and be on my ass 24/7

[lament sail]

does removing a tattoo destroy it?

[opal kraken]

Ya

[hollow talon]

aura bot looking for party doulble dmg , link , all auras . plus over cap on res . Prefer lighting builds or sparc builds . we can clear juiced maps split share and have fun . DM me 🥲

[restive cedar]

I guess I'm done playing this mechanic then...

I lost in five seconds

because of the off-screen hits if you can imagine

[little moat]

has anyone noticed that goliath interrupts stun you for 10 seconds instead of 5

[restive cedar]

yes

and also that enemies teleport to wherever you are when you are and aren't looking

[ornate flower]

guys how do we help ahuana survive

[little moat]

flankers going afk when turtle shell is active still not fixed

has been a thing since day 1

https://i.imgur.com/mQCLKcB.png 🛌

[little moat]

zzzzz losing to camouflaged tuatara multiplication bug

[restive cedar]

but thank god they did fix the knockback cheese

otherwise the whole league woulda been ruined

[bronze ivy]

The league mechanic is so close to being fun

Get rid of some obviously bullshit things, give us mostly symmetrical units and it'd be great

Sanctum is so much harder I feel like I need to really gear up before going in

[bronze ivy]

Yeah and I'm not sure what relics to get with the inspiration nerf

I miss walking around at 1000 inspiration

[slender furnace]

Sanctum always kicks my butt rn

Probs my build tho

[fluid warren]

know whats fun pushing a trial and a spear dancer respawns and lunges you at pops you

[bronze ivy]

Even content creators say it's pretty hard now

[slender furnace]

Fair point

[bronze ivy]

Yeah spear dancers need an adjustment

[fluid warren]

oh and spawn killing

i have no idea what to do with all these tattos i got, they all suk

[timber solar]

So I want to try this season of path of exile. I've played it before (I have some whirlwind archer thing or some shit) I want to try it again but I have no direction. For the season should I only do the orange quests or is it worth doing sides?

[fluid warren]

its worth doing them all, but most people when league starting do the skillpoint only question, and what i assume is going back for the rest later because those give items/respecs

i usually bum rush to act 5, then go back and do it all, and same from 6-10

[noble fog]

what should I focus farm tattoo to sell for currency?

[candid basalt]

Anyone else have the bug where the titan turtle also protects its own totem when it clearly says it cannot protect its own?

[zinc shoal]

that last Kirac mission before bed paid off... thanks full stack mission

[compact jay]

guys how do i do the thing i just finished the dreadful campaign and im ready to play the good stuffs

uhhh clarification, current league event

[vapid solar]

hey guys , 6 round is the last round if i win in the ancestors ?

[rigid stream]

Depends on how the Others do

Something Like 6-8 i think?

[mossy halo]

are we not getting a new mystery box this league??

[steady maple]

lol did some clown buy all the green nightmare jewels

[vapid solar]

ty

[candid basalt]

Damn. It has 5x the hp of an uber boss and killing it every time is such a bother. Hope ggg fixes this

[tawdry plover]

Its funny how your flankers will just sit next to it waiting when it does it too

Like they can't hit him while no totems available?

[little moat]

wtf i'm losing tournaments on my first death

can't reroll in last round anymore?

[shy steppe]

you can

The tournament is double elimination for everyone. If you lose a match before the last one, you won't be able to reroll.

[lament quail]

you guys still craashing?

[wet bolt]

are there any plans of making the enemy get stunned too when they are channeling while under attack in the league mechanic? do we know?

it's really frustrating that they keep destroying totems while 3 people are attacking them

[shy steppe]

They do get stunned. They are just cheaters. GGG made it where the AI has super reactions and can stop channeling before being hit.

[wet bolt]

wait i can clip it i think

they literally dont

90% of the time they dont

[little moat]

that's what i'm saying, first death

[wet bolt]

i RARELY see it happen

[shy steppe]

you did die before. you just dont' remember it. You can always tell if you are going to be eliminated because there is an icon at the top right.

but you see it happen

so they do get stunned

[wet bolt]

im trying to find it, gonna send a clip when i do

[little moat]

i would remember losing a match, i rarely do

[shy steppe]

jsyk, you also have to hit them with a certain amount of damage before it interrupts them a s well

you can't be real zdps

[little moat]

that amount of damage must be very low

[wet bolt]

sorry about the background sound

i was watching a video on the side

but my spear dancer is spawning there

and my guy is hitting enemy spear dancer

but she keeps channeling

you can see her hp get lower too

if im getting stunned by the wind of any attack

they should too

and this happens all the time

[median ferry]

I cant banish any totem in trial

Always stop channelling so i cant banish

Anyone have this problem

[shy steppe]

They do get stunned

[wet bolt]

??

[little moat]

they don't

[wet bolt]

can you explain this clip then?

i can take a million more exactly like this

they barely ever get stunned

i saw them get stunned but it's extremely rare

im only rank 700 so i might not understand well enough maybe

[little moat]

damage seems to interrupt them but they don't get stunned and re-channel 0.5 sec later

[wet bolt]

but i'd love to know how to stun them

[shy steppe]

yes. they didn't even hit the blade dancer

[wet bolt]

you can see her hp bar drop

[little moat]

she should've gotten stunned but killed the totem half a sec later instead in that clip

[median ferry]

No im only at the totem and always doing this

[wet bolt]

^^^^^this is what im saying thank you

[little moat]

shits buggy

[wet bolt]

i was starting to feel crazy lol

right?? that's how it feels to me too

[little moat]

they definitely do not get stunned

[wet bolt]

they do but i saw them get stunned maybe like total 10 times so far

[shy steppe]

All I know is that they 100% do get stunned sometimes. There are videos posted of this on reddit.

[wet bolt]

and that's a very low percentage compared to how many times they didnt

[shy steppe]

So it's not a bug that they dont' get stunned.

[little moat]

whenever i put a totem down that damages in pulses you can see the little x reappear every 0.5 seconds

[wet bolt]

so your totem works?

my srs never stuns them either

so i was wondering maybe minion damage doesnt count

[shy steppe]

minions work. vaal skeletons works. It's not a skill specific thing.

Even shockwave totems are hit or miss at interrupting

[wet bolt]

i'll get back to my game/videos

sorry but it's like talking to a wall

i'll see if there's like a forum or something

to write my feedback

thanks

[frail bluff]

TOTA capped at 2k ?

[little moat]

i've never seen enemies stunned by my damage

[sonic stirrup]

I've seen enemies get stunned sometimes in tota

And my hit damage is abysmal

Deadly ailments support go brr

[torpid vine]

guys, why am I not procing elemental overload? I never seen a buff of EO pop up... I see all other buffs, I see convergence, my flasks, auras, everything. Is it a bug or am I not procing it at all?

This is my POB: https://pobb.in/xkRqvnrNWJ3Z

[sonic stirrup]

And for the sake of clarity, I don't think I've seen them stunned when they weren't channeling

[sonic stirrup]

It's not a buff these days

It's a small icon on the skill icon on your hotbar

[torpid vine]

Wait, what? O_O I will go check my hotbar now, thanks!

[sonic stirrup]

It's like 2 years since the change

[sonic stirrup]

You're welcome

[torpid vine]

yeah, been playing berserker and ranger, so no EO for me XD

so this is EO?

this little diamond?

[tawdry plover]

Yes

[silent wasp]

Is +12 to rating after winning an ancestor tournament correct?it takes ages to reach anything close to 1000 rating

[north fulcrum]

how does vortex ele perform in tota

[tawdry plover]

12 is all I've ever gotten

[wet bolt]

yes, 12 for me too

regardless of deaths or if you lost a game

pretty sure the total number gain is only related to the stage you end the tournament

[little moat]

yeah it is

[sullen oracle]

what does shroud walker do in ancestors?

[tawdry plover]

Flickers to enemies

[scarlet lintel]

Patch broke the game?

So many comments on about it

[runic rune]

hey guys do we know if honoured tattoos are target farmable?

like lets say i want fortify on hit tattoo beating certain tribe at finals will increase the chance of getting it as a fated reward or its completely random?

[tawdry plover]

Want to say its random as I've gotten different honored tattoos from the same final fight

[little moat]

yeah you can target farm them

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pqRQDBACCF7c2JKHk3nFNZAMzZf1EGjAkqlm4Io-ucA/edit#gid=1230095701

[tawdry plover]

Yeah honored tattoos are all in the victory list

[runic rune]

im at 700 hope it will help to increase the chance

[undone hornet]

is there a cheat sheet or something like that for the trials?

[umbral ruin]

should I use replica soul tether or immortal flesh for RF Inquisitor?

[wise wave]

Immortal flesh is good until 90+ and helps get your regen up. Rly good with a high % life regen on gloves

[violet nymph]

does Omen of Connections works with Tainted Fusings? ping me with answer please

[mellow elbow]

anyone know what the best map is for blight right now?

[scarlet wind]

Hey guys, how fast is 5 way leveling now, after the nerfs?

[violet nymph]

🏆

[austere whale]

Guessing well since it slows everything.

You dont rly need a build for tota tho. You dont fight monsters anyway

[violet nymph]

yup

[strong quiver]

explain to me how i deal with storm conduit then

i spawn, it 1 shots me, i lose 3 totems

i spawn again, 1 shot again

[little moat]

can't do much about that

kept getting 1shot by it until i went gigatank

[austere whale]

Pray to jesus

[rugged condor]

Which ascent is this?

[shy steppe]

nuiir ofc

[violet nymph]

fcking titanic turle

[shy steppe]

now do one for interruptions. then for goliaths. then for blade dancers. then finally just for the whole Rongokurai tribe.

Maybe for hinekora raining down skill that 1-shots you and doesn't always play the voice line.

[violet nymph]

Hinekora Artillery. No sound and no visual indicator if she's outside of FoV. Kahuratoa not only can one shot you, also has the most OP units for both offense and defense. Titanic Turtle can't be stopped while destroying your totems

Fun league

"Oh, you want to focus Kahuratoa cause he hits hard? Too bad, he has access to Goliaths at first round. Have fun!" - GGG

I should've went for EA instead of RF this league

[shy steppe]

lol.. being on the same screen as Kahuratoa is suicide.

[hasty perch]

I mean some people are at 1500+ rating without cheese builds

[lucid monolith]

Can you perma freeze non-unique monsters in TOTA?

[hasty perch]

So imma say

Skill issue

Nah 50% slow max i believe

[shy steppe]

uhm. I'm at that rank

doesn't mean it's not cancer

[hasty perch]

Its supposed to be cancer with how rewarding it gets

Cant ask for giga reward for piss easy content

[shy steppe]

Haven't seen any reward increase after 700

they are literally bugs lol

what are you talking about?

[hasty perch]

What bug

[dreamy arrow]

Im at around 1400-1500 rn, what I feel like is more Units = best win condition most of the time

[hasty perch]

Fieldmaster spamm master race

[shy steppe]

Turtle protecting his own totem. No voiceline on skills that are targeting you from across the map.

[dreamy arrow]

With my first fight I usually try to get as many units as possible to get the numberd advanrsge

[shy steppe]

The interrupting of enemies seems very inconsistent. There seems to bugs involved in that.

[hasty perch]

I mean if the battle was fair wouldnt be humiliating. Umagine losing to an AI in a fair game

And we're not talking stockfish

[dreamy arrow]

There's a difference between fair and enforced loss

[hasty perch]

We're talking the 3 interns still on PoE1

Its not enforced loss

Its just giving advantages to make the battle challenging

[dreamy arrow]

Escort turtle at rank 1500 is so tsnky thst you can't kill it in u der like 2 mins

In that time it shields 7-10 totems

[shy steppe]

you are killing things?

[dreamy arrow]

So your totems are under Constant threat

Yeah, im able to still kill some units

Nit doing any Cheese build, just lightning arrow

[hasty perch]

Same, build seems irrelevant

Maybe some shaper of winter shaper of storm elem can make it a bit easier i guess but everything works

[dreamy arrow]

Playing around units and abusing escorts is key

But the turtle bricks that

[hasty perch]

Their AI is just too bad to be threatening

[dreamy arrow]

Not at all

[hasty perch]

Not talking about turtle there

[dreamy arrow]

I had rounds where they hyper focused all my totems and I got washed in under 60 seconds

[hasty perch]

They beeline totems there is no ai on them basically

But melees chase you around

[dreamy arrow]

Try winning round 1 with 6 to 9 units when they got attackers, flankers and spear defence

[hasty perch]

Sometimes you're unlucky

Just refresh tournament go up

[dreamy arrow]

Yup and that's still avoidable and or bad luck

But turtle....

[hasty perch]

I usually kill the goliath turtle guy turn 1/2 to make sure he isnt cucking me round 5+

[dreamy arrow]

I'm fine with the spear one shots, I usually kill them and then eat their totems.

I found two player trials to be way more chill

Having one to defend and one to attack makes it so much easier

[hasty perch]

Sadly im ssf so duo trial is not going to happen :^)

[dreamy arrow]

Each additional player spawns a boss tho

[hasty perch]

Kind of considering using a reroll to instawin level 53-60 fights and leave if kitava is out

Like utula dude seem to lose by round 4 every tournament its insane

[dreamy arrow]

Utula kinda weak

I usually kick him out first if he has lots of points or need a safe win

[hasty perch]

Yeah thats why i consider an alt to farm the armor low level

Checked trade and his armor drops from ilvl53 onward

Seems somewhat common

[dreamy arrow]

Probably thr closest to a mirror I'm ever getting

In terms of mirror themed drops, the rewards are nice tho

That's what I loves at ultimatum aswell, choices

[hollow peak]

Whats the best class for a good aurabot

[flint minnow]

if I play minnions and use vurnerability, do I link sadism to skellies(minnions) or to the curse (vurnerability)

[stoic sail]

Weren't defenders supposed to stay back? I'm past the enemy's attacker line, look to my side and my defenders are there? (no totems were being channeled up front)

[shy steppe]

i've gotten my defender to travel all the way back to the enemies defense line before. "defenders stay back" is just people lying lol. That was never the case. Though they won't go forward and attack and channel totems. They will only be aggro'd to the front.

[stoic sail]

Anyone can confirm if the Ngamahu/Kaom's item that puts righteous fire on an unit makes them lose health over time too?

[rotund surge]

Is there already a meta established in the league on what builds are the best?

[azure void]

XD btw they buffed rewards so league mechanic is usefull and they nerfed them again to the ground what a clownery....

[azure void]

weasel like behaviour from the devs

[zenith nimbus]

When did they nerf them?

[frail garden]

mmm can't chose

[shy steppe]

hinekora for sure

get Rakiata's sword next fight

welp. was fun while it lasted.

[shy steppe]

They didn't. He is just mad at rng.

[sonic stirrup]

Hidden paths are literally so easy to find though lol

Well, sometimes they're slightly annoying because you might need to take a chance on left or right side of it

But usually it's just, one node which it will be

[shy steppe]

wtf is a super reaction lol.

[sonic stirrup]

The thing you just used lol

Plays animation on hover and when you add it

Also like, limited to two total if you're not nitro

[shy steppe]

Well that is obvious. It's in the normal spot where normal reaction was so didn't even notice it until after I used it.

[sonic stirrup]

Also, in the way and wasting ui space

[shy steppe]

obvious that it's the thing I used btw.

[sonic stirrup]

Waaaaaaat

[weary quiver]

is there some tech for keeping certain npcs alive in trials?

[dreamy arrow]

yes and no

dont fight the ones you want to keep alive or safe one by suiciding one loss into him (only recommended at later stages)

[weary quiver]

if I suicide into them they still might lose next round and I cant reset reward on last round no?

[dreamy arrow]

yup thats why I only recommend it for later stages

sometimes I prefer to keep multiple dudes alive to see more rewards

[weary quiver]

ahuana alive till the end maybe 1 in 10 rounds its silly

[dreamy arrow]

yeah dont try to focus on just one person

I usually try to keep alive

[median mulch]

So currently if you reach some degree of rank when everything just oneshots you, and you are strugglig to process further with the tournaments, the only option is to enter the battle - logout - enter - logout, until you drop the rank enough so you can more or less play it again?

[dreamy arrow]

kaom, maata, ahuana, rakiata and ikiaho

just dont get hit tbh

Ive been getting one shot since ranking 500 or something

im now at 1.439

your build is less important... how you setup and use your units to your advantage is key

[weary quiver]

currently at 1.8k want to keep ahuana alive till the end more often but doesnt seem theres a way its just rng, only managed to loot 1 proj tattoo

[dreamy arrow]

For example... here

[median mulch]

I know. The issue is that you team is great until you meet 2 turtles in defense with 4 speardancers.
At this point your only option is to kill them, as they will not allow nor you neither your team to do anything

[dreamy arrow]

The enemy has 3 flankers, so I atleast want 3 defenders, do keep away his flankers as best as can.

I myself bum rush the defender totem if possible

since once his defence is gone, theres nothing left to protect his base

himself and 4 escorts will be in my base

so the totems are going to fall in seconds

[wet bolt]

im close to 1000 now and been getting oneshot since rank 500ish

my strategy is

get hefty flankers

get aggro of their attackers/flankers and possibly their defense too

and run in circles

unironically the best startegy i have

[median mulch]

I am at 800, and am geting oneshotted since like 600
The issue is that I see no real improvements in terms of reward, but a significant higher difficulty

[wet bolt]

make sure to run in circles on your side of the map and interrupt the ones that are trying to capture totems

yeah

it feels really uncomfortable to play

im hoping for better rewards in the future... maybe

the only tribe i CANT ever fight is the big cleave boi rongokurai? or something

[violet nymph]

the water one?

[wet bolt]

his entire team oneshots, he has half-mapwide cleave and almost always has big turtles

[dreamy arrow]

kick him out early

[wet bolt]

the one with a billion goliaths

[dreamy arrow]

I think he starts getting chad turtle by round 4

[wet bolt]

goliaths are terrible too

i'd rather ignore him cuz he doesnt make it to the last round 90% of the time

plus he often brings uninterruptable mages

they just ram through your totems no matter what you do

[median mulch]

I would not say that rewards are bad - not at all. The issue is that at some point your rewards become technically irrelewant. Rank is infinite, so eventually not a single item can improve your build to be better, cuz everything just one taps you, and you deal neglectable amount of damage to them.
So what is the point of any rewards and improvement?
And just abuse the deranking is boring af

[wet bolt]

you need to hug them to interrupt and then you get oneshot

oh about our damage

my strategy is to not kill them

cuz it takes a million years to kill them

just for them to respawn in a second

so i just keep them in the middle of my totems and run in circles

if you kill, they respawn and interrupt your precious flankers

it would be really fun if they removed rongoku and make enemy mobs actually get stunned for 5 seconds just like player team does

[median mulch]

It is fine if I cannot kill a unit - especially someone like ravager.
But give me a chance to at least not to insta die to a random trap which I cannot see on the ground under all the effects
Cuz it was not a case 400 ranks below, and rewards are pretty much unchanged.
I do feel like it just incentivizes players to use second acc to just get into party, play until you reach like 500-600, and repeat (I know that multiwindow is forbidden but the mechanic just asks about it)

[wet bolt]

yep

maybe there will be more changes soon

[dreamy arrow]

by the way... why would one want Ahuana alive?

I always chose most other people over her tbh

[median mulch]

Cuz of the rewards
Each of them have a unique and tattoos they can tdrop at final

[dreamy arrow]

yeah but I always prefer going for kaom, rakiata or maata

[bold basalt]

ye, I am not fan of the slams that Kahu or Maata do

invisible

[dreamy arrow]

lol rip just got absolutely stomped in the final

[wet bolt]

who even is ahuana

is that the archer?

[dreamy arrow]

ye

[wet bolt]

just run in circles and she'll never hit you

ez

[median mulch]

My friend is playing RF, and he can tank shaper slam easily, even without molten shell.
He complains that speardancer oneshots him 😄

[bold basalt]

pretty sure speardancers ignore defences

[median mulch]

It looks like, yeah

[bold basalt]

i have like 90% evade, and they still one tap me 100% of the times I dont physically dodge

[violet nymph]

isn't rank maxed at 5k?

also they one taps you at 300
