Best Of

After years of heavy research from me and my team on the dripdaddy Solvarch… we have come up with the most logical theory a human being could ever come up with…

Was this cool looking champ created for top tier players to use, to make upcoming content more difficult for themselves? If so, I don’t think we’ve seen a champion created with such a unique purpose before. It’s actually extremely creative & I genuinely appreciate it. Bro can turn a 5 minute fight into a 15 minute fight. Solvarch turns an ROL fight into a Necropolis fight. 😳 The niché piece of utility on Solvarch… to single handedly increase the difficulty of ANY and ALL content… 😳 sheeesh it’s insane. After getting spammed with burst damage attackers and 5/5 defenders… we get this unique champion. Very refreshing I must say. This XL DripLord💧 is a fine addition to the contest. Solvarch will give MSD his hardest Necropolis run yet. Can’t wait to see it! 🤘🏽

@GilbertoJunior @ItsClobberinTime You both have been trying your hardest to change everyone’s mind about Solvarch being mid/bad since he released 🤧 Clobber been jumping through hoops to try and do something with Solvarch that make him seem good…. and you’ve yet to do so. Clobber, many of us already have Solmid at R3-R4 and the common consensus is that he's still as mid as he is at any other rank. That won’t change because you specifically are gonna test him the same rank. We don’t need an update, we’ve seen what he can do. The champion needs a tune up. It’s that simple. You see the reviews for Solvarch even on youtube… they say the same shi.
Rather than trying to persuade people he is better than he is… it would be more effective to talk about how soon his tune-up will be happening.

The reason you think he's trash is because you have the cognitive ability of a sloth. I showed you the r2 doing the exact same fight you tried with the r3 30 seconds faster than you because you have no clue how to use him (absolutely hilarious r3 a champ you don't even know how to use and refuse to learn) and you just keep ignoring everything and replying with the same "he's trash" answer lol.
I never claimed he's the best, and I definitely think he needs a small tune up to his ramp and charge decay. Saying he's trash right now in his current state when he nukes the mutant class as a whole except for one or two defenders tho is absolutely hilarious and a very ignorant thing to say especially when you yourself continue to glaze Patriot, a champ known as a one trick pony because he can't even counter the entire science class he even supercharges some defenders like Spider Woman and he's absolutely useless on defense 💀
I also don't know how you can even say all the reviews from YT are the same, Nick136 and Seatin think he's fine for what he's supposed to do in his target matchups. The only one crying about it and calling him bad is KT1 and we all know KT1 loves to cry about a lot of things in general.

Good day, fellow summoners! I’d like to tell you about how our beloved little indie company, Kabam, works!

As many of you know, last week a bunch of players got their accounts banned for donating to the game through third parties. Because of this, my honest and dear allies and friends suffered—people who play the game fairly, without using third-party software, and who also have great skill and an impressive stock of testosterone. They contacted support to find out exactly why they were banned, and the answer from support was a killer — they were banned for cheating in Battlegrounds. And everyone got the exact same response.

I’m not going to speculate on the real reason for the bans, because it’s just laughable. Nobody broke the rules in Battlegrounds — some of them didn’t even really play that mode in the past season.

So, here’s the point of my post: I wasn’t banned. And I thought — what if I contact support with the same issue my friends had, but with my account still active? Guess what? I got exactly the same response as my friends. You can’t make this up.

The funniest part is the ticket submission form. Support asks you to provide your in-game nickname, when you made a purchase, when you last logged in — all, apparently, just to create the illusion that they care about the player. In reality, it seems they didn’t bother to run any actual checks, since our beloved little indie company apparently decided to put their support in fully automated mode so they wouldn’t waste too much effort. I’ll attach screenshots of the ticket and the response to this post, as well as proof that I wasn’t banned.

Just as a heads up, you can't monetize clickbait on the Kabam forums. Many have tried, none have succeeded.

I did it. Figured out the thing and it's true.
A million xp glitch/exploit every single day.

It's true that it does not affect the game. At the end of the day it's still an exploit.

Not arguing that, but "VERY HIGH BAN CHANCE" is not a known statement of fact.

They stopped banning players, we saw that on the mythic crystal exploit.
High ban chance, I know, but it's not happening tho.
Keep this thread up. They'll see it and patch it.
That's the best outcome we can get.
@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex

After that mythic crystal exploit with no consequences, I'm going all in on all future bugs where rewards are given. If I get banned, then oh well.

@ItsClobberinTime You 100% care about all the arguing… your actions show it. Doesn’t matter if you sayyyy you don’t if your actions don’t show it. 💀 & calling me a narcissist proves that you have no idea what narcissism is. 🤧

But you know what… since you’re so upset about it… and i’m such a nice, caring guy…….
Let me know your exact rotation that makes Solvarch seem decent in your eyes and i’ll actually go and test it out and let you know if it changes my mind or not. So just SP1 and SP3?

Go watch the video I posted? It has multiple rotations that give him decent enough damage to deal with the current problematic meta defenders. He literally takes all current meta relevant mutants, Zola, Spider Woman and Bullseye in under a minute what else do you want? You keep glazing Patriot every single day but this is trash? Patriot is literally ass for anyone that isn't Photon.

Anyways, you build to three bars and while at 100 core charges you throw sp1 to get 5 energize then do mm mlllm while they're stunned and sp3 immediately. If a r1 is getting 240k damage in one rotation then a r3 should be close to ko WS with one, if he doesn't you're doing something wrong and just to prove that I will r3 mine before Bastion so you can finally stop complaining and spreading misinformation.

Used this exact rotation I mentioned on a non energy non mutant matchup and the sp3 was 138k in total for a r1 Solvarch:



Total damage was 235k, how is 235k damage for a r1 bad? Sure he isn't the fastest I won't argue that, but he can easily punch same rank defenders including non mutant non energy ones like Bullseye in roughly 50-55 secs. Doesn't mean he's insane but he's not trash at all, or mid especially when you think someone like Patriot is top tier lol.

Tried special damage stat focus previously and the total sp3 damage was 138k, you think it'd be better than armor penetration but I tried it with armor penetration right now and the sp3 damage went from 138k to 151k



So it seems armor penetration is definitely the way to go with him, again this is r1 Solvarch. I'll be taking him to r4 after Crucible to see what he can really do.

Just took him to r2, and tried same sp3 rotation, exact same fight.



At r1, the sp3 damage was 151k and total damage was 262k. At r2 the sp3 damage went up to 194k and total damage went up to 334k.
Basically, sp3 damage increased by nearly 50k, total damage increased by nearly 75k. Sure sp3 rotation still isn't the fastest but if it continues scaling this way then he will have zero issues taking out same rank Bullseye Photon Spider Woman and Enchantress with that rotation even if it takes about 50-55 secs, better than getting straight up outdrafted without a counter. And then he will of course be a tank on defense if you really don't have a defender to use him against or if you draft a better counter.

I will continue to update next week when I take him to r3, and eventually r4 once I do the Crucible. There's a solid chance he might even be able to punch a whole rank above even against Bullseye and the others.
I'll definitely be doing a lot of testing this BGs season as well, that sp3 rotation is being slept on.

I felt like doing an analysis with just a bit of simplified math, hope I don't mess this up.

If we're discussing over the video Nick136 posted then I'll have small calculations and share some insights to disprove some of the false impressions created as seen on this post. I'll go case by case for his best performances against certain champions but keep in mind that both Solvarch and the defender is r4 in this video. I'll just analyze the matchups as seen in the video so prepare for some excessive yapping while I act as if someone cares.

Photon (1 min 9 sec): I don't think there's much to analyze here, with just the addition of Inequity this matchup clearly won't work at all or take much longer than ideal for a bgs matchup.

Spider-Woman (55 sec): Again, inequity will mess him up and lead to a timeout with a decent loss of health at best.

Bullseye (52 sec): Now this is where I do a slight bit of math to show why this matchup is not decent by any means. In the video we see Solvarch nuke Bullseye with a beautiful sp3. Unfortunately this matchup seems too risky for most scenarios. To see why, let's analyze the numbers a bit. Sp3 does 79k damage with a 171k burst which equals about 250k. A r4 Bullseye has around 400k health if I'm correct and we see the sp3 knock him out at %60 hp which is about 240k health points. Here is the tricky part, Solvarch had 76 core charges when he threw the sp3 which resulted in 10k excess damage. By the way his reverb scales with core charges, had he lost a few milliseconds and went down to 72 when he threw the sp3 he would have lost around 10k burst damage (around the same as the excess damage he had in the video) and considering the rounding error he would have been just a bit off from the knockout, probably resulting in eating an sp3 afterwards. Had it not been picture perfect as in the video his damage would have been barely off and it only gets worse for the passing of each second equaling about a 10k damage loss per second. I personally don't find a matchup with such strict numbers in play decent and wouldn't even attempt it at all. This was almost a miracle, not a realistic showcase of his capabilities.

Onslaught (32 sec): What can I say, this guy was made to nuke champions who inflict constant energy DoT. He excels at those matchups like no other but you can clearly see how limited those are unless nodes are involved. Seems insanely fun for them though, what a guy.

Captain Britain (39 sec): Same as Onslaught but I don't expect her to be meta relevant, a meta merchant at best. Not much else to say.

Jean Grey (39 sec): Poor Jean...

Mister Sinister ( 1 min 2 sec): The fact that Solvarch is not an actual robot really hurts him here, you can't do medium combo enders ever. He also doesn't have anything to counter ability accuracy reduction so pick whatever special you wanna bait, it'll mess you up. Not the best not the worst but far from ideal. All of Mister Sinister's threats are there, he only lacks the regen in this fight which is definitely valuable but still. Just serviceable at best and can't dare to call him a counter.

Iceman (31 sec): He nukes, fair and simple. Only downsides are the fact that he can't inflict coldsnap since Iceman is immune and you take some coldsnap damage even though a portion of it is healed back. Nonetheless a hp loss of over 10% is not the greatest but its Iceman afterall. Don't even worry about it, you probably won't ever face a r4 sig 200 Iceman. If you do you may have already lost that match, not even Solvarch would save you from such a whale.

Domino (39 sec): Constant energy damage is both nice and not nice. Nick loses over 10% hp yet again here but the main problem is the ability accuracy reduction, although not as much as your average champion you will still rely on RNG and there's no way around it. Literally a luck based fight that would be hard to consistently pull off as quickly as in the video. One great thing worth mentioning is the fact that you can prevent evade with your coldsnap which simplifies the fight quite a lot. Not a tricky fight at all, just a bit luck dependent which sucks since I'm never lucky 😞

Dust (1 min 2 sec): Nothing special here. Her sandstorm does inflict constant energy damage but do you really wanna trigger that? Honestly not sure if that can be a viable strategy, I'm curious now. Another 10% hp lost here as well and it also took quite a bit of time. Not great but not that bad either. Just... What was the word... Mid?

Enchantress (1 min 6 sec): I can probably count 200+ champions that can do this fight as effectively as Solvarch did in the video. I find it pointless to analyze an Enchantress fight tbh. Even Domino isn't as luck and AI dependent as her, pretty sure that Solvarch can do a lot better and a lot worse in this fight. Nothing to comment on, happens every once in a while when Enchantress decides to play nice.

Overall only 4-5 of these matchups at most could be considered ideal or great imo. The rest are either nothing noteworthy or just straight up out of reach for Solvarch. He seems like quite the specialist. You can claim that he has the damage, that he has the utility but he definitely does not have any versatility whatsoever. So this analysis will wrap up my final thoughts on the champion for now until we see more from him and I hope it makes sense to anyone unfortunate to read this mess. My general thoughts on him are out here in the comments piece by piece as if anyone would be interested. At least he looks cool.

Something to add on Bullseye is that his Cruelty gives physical resistence and thats one of Solvarch main weaknesses,it cost me a fight in war few minutes ago

All nodes have been increased health, attack, and tons of new debuffs are atached to nodes besides of old debuffs.
Below are enchanchess, ussually got 3 points with7 r4 jugg, now no way to get points.
I dont know why got all types of damage passives from her after clearing all her spells and blocked sp1. And died because of those damages.

So Dev want to delete the motivations to fight ?

Bro, your officers baited you hard — handed you those enchantress placement nodes, watched you struggle, and now they’re gonna cook you in chat like it's your fault. I feel bad

NO need to spam this .

I am telling about a bad war design. You can check the last nodes around the final boss, besides they increased hp, attack, they also they embedded tons of debuffs recently. it has Stun-immune then not enough, they plugged stun refect, but still not enough, they plugged Safeguards, Bane-1 ...

So i said they are too heavy now. My team members are really demotivated to fight there, I am one of offices there and kicked everyday who dont want to fight but feel demotivation are happening.

Who told you Juggs could take a Safeguard node?
