Who to R4, a tale of 2 skills…
Hit monkey has always been my favourite champion that I “didn’t have”. I only got the 5* when they became irrelevant, only got the 6* when they became irrelevant etc. But I finally got him out of my titan nexus crystal from crucible and really really really want to R4 him. However, there is an elephant in the room… Yelena…

Why does update day ≠ content day any more?
What do we get on update day? Buffs and EQ, we didn’t even get a side quest this time. But a weeks time we get the rebirth event, act 8 crucible and BGs all starting on the same day? Last month had a similar deal where content was offset by a couple weeks, i mean sales and stuff usually start whenever independent of update…

Valiant EQ quest 3 magneto.
How do I kill this guy, I’ve got Zola as one solution but you gotta do him 3 times and they lock you to tech champs, assume shocker can do one as well, do we just need to get a lucky parry on the first one?
-
Why are the Valiant EQ rewards such a mess?
I mean, who can make any sense of this? Normal content is really easy to see what the rewards are, especially the totals. But why is valiant EQ so messy, like why does one quest have like nearly 100k T6B fragments, and then no quest has corresponding T3A fragments? How many titan shards do we get? Why do I need a Masters…

What to do with 3 Saga Selector Tokens?
Got let down one week by a member of our alliance (he’s no longer a member) and only have 3 of the 4 saga selector tokens. What now? Are they useless, is there gonna be a trade in? Or will they appear as a reward in future raids? I don’t mind I would just like to know, I’m sure if I dig deep enough on the forums I can find…

Is there any reason I can’t just max out HT in Doom cycle?
I’m sure there’s a lot of discussion about the best strategies and ways of playing with team synergies yadada which I’m not all that interested in tbh. I just want to know if it’s viable for me to just max out HT and use him Over and over to carry me through to the titan and tons of mastery points, which I can then spec…

Best uses for a 7* cosmic AG?
Before you say Serpent, mines already duped and sigged up. I know the cosmic AG is probably the best one right now but I was kinda sad cause it’s not the one I’m looking for and whoever gets it will have to compete with Serpent for sigs. My unduped cosmics which are either ranked up or I would rank up right now are: - Beta…

New AW help, how on earth are you meant to do this fight?
So of course as backup I’ve been left with this, thankfully she’s unduped and *only* a R3. There are no buff controllers that would work right? Looks like it’s gonna be a tough one no matter what, looking for options/strategies (happy to use boosts even tho it’s off season to see if a strategy would work) Any help or tips…

Your most underrated champion picks
There are a lot of champions in the game who are sorely underrated, champs which people kinda know are good, but rarely rank up. Champions which occupy the back of someone’s mind but are easily forgotten. The champions which aren’t straight up trash but also don’t see a lot of use in competitive game modes. For me there’s…
-
Best Ordeal team?
I honestly don’t know what to do about Terrax it feels simply impossible. Doesn’t help that doom isn’t the most cooperative first fight. I’m trying a team of Onslaught, Serpent, Silk, Purgatory and Zola Onslaught for Dr Doom and general path fights Serpent cause he’s R4 and all I’ve got for Spider Ham and some of the other…
-
Will we get a champion who ignores protection/safeguard?
It’s been a mechanic for ages and has become more and more common. Unlike regular resistances there isn’t really a way to ignore or bypass it yet, however do we think we will see a champion who can do so? All sorts of interactions have been manipulated in almost every way imaginable, think about crits, resistances, regen,…
-
Is this fight cheeseable?
So myself and my alliance were looking at this placement. For reference it’s a R4 Serpent pushing 12 million health. I placed it at first assuming that no tech champion is going to take on Serpent so nobody will get Force charges, meaning the fight is just a huge Serpent with buffed special attack damage. However one…

Is Battlegrounds a “Card Game” now?
So I was watching a KT video just now (I know everyone has an opinion but I’m really not here to discuss that kettle of fish) and he made a point that with all the meta defenders coming into the game BGs felt more like a “card game” than an actual 1v1 competitive gamemode. I mean he kinda has a point and I was feeling this…

The fall off of Chavez has gotta be studied
It’s a real shame, she was my second 7* R3 after Hulk and the one that made me Valiant. She was one of if not my most used champions only a year or so ago i mean what happened? We’ve had quite a lot of really solid mystics recently, both in terms of new champions and additions to the 7* pool. Tanky defenders with energy…
-
Is a third damage “type” on the table in the near future?
The current duopoly of physical and energy damage has been around for years and years now, all sorts of interactions both rewarding and punishing both of these types of damage have been explored in almost every way imaginable. Understanding the intricacies of how these two damage types work and interact with one another is…
-
Does the game have too many champions now?
So I was playing BGs recently and came to realise that there were quite a few new champs which I just had 0 idea how to play or play against. I just went “eh whatever” and went to watch some DLL deep dives in the background whilst grunting arena (i know I’ve got way too much time on my hands I need to get a job 😭😭) Still…

My 9.2 experience in data
So I decided to do something that I’ve never done before with 9.2 and write down every path and boss fight, then who I used to take the fight I put this all into a spreadsheet, then tallied up all the champion uses and visualised it in a pie chart all attached below. Now the question with all data is always “is this…

Deathless AW showcase? Finally a good one?
Now I am a D1 AW showcase hater, but this time was a little different. I finally got an excuse to use some of my favourite champions, and a new addition to the roster so I thought I’d give it a go. I started with the Right path Team: - deathless Thanos - Serpent - Silk - Purgatory Oh my god it was so easy. I was breezing…

Struggling on VT? Here’s what I learnt on the push to GC
As we enter the second half of the BG season i thought I would make a combination summary/informative post about my season, who my MVPs were, who my LVPs were, and which champs to target/rank up. I’ll split it into 3 sections, attacker, defenders and gameplay giving tips and experience on this seasons best…

This may not look crazy, but…
67 seconds? That’s crazy slow for juggs right? Well I did the fight, got told there was an “unkown error”, went into battlegrounds, got sent back into the fight with Apocalypse at full health, did it again, all in 70 seconds. This is really just a juggs appreciation post in disguise but come on, he did the fight twice,…
-
NTW or Bishop to R3?
Both are unduped, NTW is more of an attacker for me and bishop would be a defensive option, although I don’t run recoils so idk how good of a defender he would be these days. Both are great this meta, I don’t play AW super hard right now but NTW would definitely let me take it more seriously. Idk who’s better so I’d like…

What are the most popular R3s? Answered.
Well well well the survey reached 1000 responses and thus it was time, time for me to spend my hard earned £100 (thanks a lot Survey monkey 🙄) and get the full results for you guys. Was it worth it? Let’s find out… Let’s start with the podium (keep up the suspense) and coming in at P3 is……. With 247 out of 1045 summoners…

Silk L1 past hit misses if fight pauses mid special
Playing in Incursions against a Longshot, throw off my L1, battery 20% notification pauses the fight, resume and find that the last hit missed, got punished for it. Never seen this happen, every other hit before the pause connected (heavy to L1 chained)
-
So there really isn’t any “punishment” for not pushing in a BG meta
Last VT meta just sucked for me and my roster. First time I didn’t push to vibranium since the Deathless Guillotine piece was added to the rewards (just became habit really 🤷♂️) I was worried that it would cost me ages longer in grind this season, for context i finished the season still somewhere in Diamond Turns out…

Something radical to solve the games biggest problem…
The biggest single problem in the game, at least from what I’m seeing, is the rewards from content. The problem is twofold: 1. Older content becomes obsolete, as a result needs constantly updating to stay relevant, BGs, side quest, daily events, alliance events, everything which isn’t permanent content requires constant…

Guess I already messed up EOP 🤷♂️
Decided to do the far left path with 2 7*s (silk and Hulk) and a 6* prowler for Jabari (still a horrible fight). As it turns out cause I don’t have a 7* counter to Adam (Ironheart or Iron Man Are the only ones in the basic) I might be screwed. Am I going to have to do 7 runs? Maybe. Does this mean I have to do Jabari and…

Saga incursions, most optimal run possible?
So I saw the objectives and did a rough mental note “oh wow only 15 fights for a full 7* that’s not bad”. Then I realised that the objective is talking about OG Thanos not deathless, so looked at his synergies for any good saga champs (I have an OG Thanos but he is not in fact a saga champion at all), obvious first choice…

My R4 choices
Excited to spend all my units and revives on Epoch of pain to get a R4 crystal to give me a skill gem 😭😭. In all seriousness i think these are my options class by class (assuming I don’t make any roster changing pulls in the next 2 weeks) Skill - uuuuuuuh. Bullseye? Idk if I get skill I might just take up Patriot and let…

Dazzler is WILDLY good
This is by no means a hot take but by god am I so happy I picked her up on the platinum pass. Firstly the damage is just nuts, classic L1/L2 cycle in battlegrounds (or L1/L1/L2 for some of the tankier opponents) is enough, so she’s very capable of 30-50 second fights there. Add in the repeatability of this loop and she’s a…

Something totally important (not)
Useless information for most but found out that I have the perfect number of 6* R5 and 7* champions to hit 12mil points in arena without having to refresh any or delve into lower ranked champions Anyone else got fun coincidences like this in their games/rosters
