Spiral interaction

Does anyone know how to activate this Spiral interaction? The skill description doesn't say anything about activating Pierce. This interaction has happened to me three times already.

It is up to the moderators to decide if someone's conduct is actionable. The moderators are not there to satisfy the demands of the forum members. If they decide not to act, so forum members decide they are forced to act, they risk subjecting themselves to moderation themselves.

I am not a moderator for the forums, but I am a volunteer moderator for the Discord. Rule 9 on the Discord states: respect the decisions of the moderators. That includes when they act, and when they choose not to act. The forums have the same rule (it is Rule 12). The rule exists not because the moderators are infallible and all their decisions are correct, but rather because it is the only way the moderators can function without things becoming draconian. Moderation is all judgment calls, not black or white decisions. That judgment is not going to always look accurate or even consistent, but that's because human judgment never is. Absent this sort of discretion, things don't end well for anyone.

Still lukewarm on Stryfe even after Carina Challenge

My opinion on Sentry improved post Hero challenge, but I still feel lukewarm about Stryfe.

A big reason I think is that Sentry made certain fights feel trivial once ramped up, while I never felt like Stryfe made anything feel trivial. He worked well, and when he crit (which didn't feel very often) there were big yellow numbers.

Part of that is even after he is ramped, he still requires SP1-SP2 looping for his crazy damage, as the AI can be remarkably passive to allow your shock to fall off (yes more pro players can maintain the shock and just SP2 spam, but Stryfe doesn't have any power gain mechanisms to make that feel like you're spamming SP2). And even then, for me at least, all that build up for non-critting SP2 is just a massive let down.

Meanwhile, Mister Sinister can just hit those same damage heights by spamming SP1 while laughing at full stunlock combos from the opponent, or Purgatory can quickly throw back to back SP2s once ramped up. So there never seemed to quite be the same "overwhelming sense of domination" from ramped Stryfe that I got from other ramp up champions.

Another weakness of his was confirmed for me too - he is easy to ramp up when you have access to parry heavy, and when the block/chip damage is low like in the Abyss (ie. easy to ramp up to 100 charges against Abyss Thing). But in most endgame type content, the chip damage is higher and you can't get away with parry heavy (imagine trying to ramp up against Tranquilize Necropolis path - not as safe).

well, to be fair, if you aren’t paying for ascensions, that dust is pretty much worthless right now

You definitely should, he also has potential to be one of the best Magik counters so he might become more relevant soon in other game modes. After his buff he hits really hard but he's been slept on mostly because of how bad he was pre buff. The difference post buff however is huge he does 550k RoL HPs in 30-45 secs at r3.

For now tho, he is a really good long form content champ, and his ramp is actually quick unlike someone like Blue Marvel or Sentry which for Epoch is very important. The utility he has also has decent range, some of it is niche but that slow is always valuable.

Epoch of Pain: Hero - who are you planning to use?

Working on my plan for next week’s challenge. Main thing I’m still debating is which Skill champ to bring - SSL or Nick.

My plan:
Hulkling, Jessica Jones, Photon : Stellar Star Lord or Nick
Absorbing Man, iDoom, Onslaught, Destroyer, Prowler: Photon
Jabari Panther, Northstar, Aegon, Cassie, Gwenpool, Iron Fist, Toad, Mole Man, Tigra, Ares: Captain Britain
Nebula, Adam Warlock, Viv, Annihilus: Hulkling
Heimdall, Spam, Dani M: SpiderWoman

Debating SSL vs. Nick as it might be nice to have Nick’s 10/20% attack boost. All are R4 except SSL who is R3 and Ascended to level 1. Hulkling, SpiderWoman, and Captain Britain are max sig, Nick and Photon high sig.

Open to any advice or corrections based on holes in my plan folks see.
