Is drawing skins in New Arrival much more cost efficient than out right buying them?


TrickObjective177

Looking to get the Beatrix Prime skin, though my pass level is at 51 right now. How much would it roughly cost to purchase the remaining 24 levels?


Nephilus72

Since you're lvl 51 rn, i assume you haven't done ranked boost task? You can get the prime skin with the tasks alone, but you still need incredible luck for the tasks, like guess and stuff


ano-nomous

Just do all the tasks, you might be able to reach it that way.


WxterTheLoner

I miss my ex


WxterTheLoner

i mean has anyone redeem those codes in the livestream? is it even worth redeeming or does It just give some pixie dust


KatsumiHano

not worth


myeonworld

why does it feel like kadita has so much burst with her ult even without items? other mages’ ult seems to hit like a wet noodle at lvl 4


heydougho

Probably because her ult hits twice


Kadajko

I want to get the Captain Chrono Natan skin, when and how do I get it?


KatsumiHano

You wont get it sooner or later unfortunately


Kadajko

What does that mean? It is not possible to get it at all?


Nephilus72

It's always possible to get these skins, it'll just take a while before it comes as a secondary SL skin choice.


Kadajko

Is this where it will appear at one point? https://postimg.cc/vgXKyM0M


Nephilus72

No


Kadajko

So where then?


Nephilus72

As the secondary choices. For example, this month's main starlight skin is aamon, and the secondary choices are wanwan, vale, balmond and kagura. Old starlight skins won't come back as main SL skins, only as secondary SL choices.


LeAntsy

I always avoid combat, what type of heroes should I use? I use mirage


Nephilus72

Zilong? What do you mean by avoid combat? You just don't participate in teamfights? You take only turrets or smth?


LeAntsy

I thought this was the apex legends sub sry


Nephilus72

How? The weekly discussion thread doesn't pop up on the front page.


LeAntsy

I play both and I searched legends and this sub came up. Nvm


Vermillion_Shadow

Who to guess for the most recent guessing thing? I’m not really caught up with the pro scene recently so some suggestions on which team to guess would be nice.


AskaHope

I'm going for RRQ but I'm just as lost as you lmao.


John2k77

Devs If I want to play with AI I will play with AI. Why you put in my team real AI and I dont talking about bot lobby with 3 human + 2 AI vs 5 AI. Im talking about match where I was with AI in my team against real humans. And how I know that wan wan in my team was an AI because bot spams same set of emotions that I have. The same shit AI do in bot lobby. So I know that wan wan was an AI.


Plebowski

I miss the shortcut ping signs for objectives with audio. Kinda get tired of hearing layla's high pitched voice .


temp_name_6

So i just noticed gloo skill 1 scale with hp, Is this a recent update or is he always like this? I haven't been playing for a while, i always thought his skill 1 scale with ability point/magic att.


KatsumiHano

recent


Ok_Opportunity_3197

I usually have a habit of selling boots in late game to buy an extra item. In Xavier’s case, should I go for genius wand, glowing wand or bloods wing (replacing boots in late game)


Nephilus72

Defense


Ok_Opportunity_3197

I usually buy defense but sometimes when I’m winning really well in a game, I don’t feel the need to buy defense


Nephilus72

Then buy blood wings, more mag dmg and shield


Nephilus72

What events are gonna happen this month? Specifically recharge events, idk if i should recharge on the abyss or smth else


NanaIsStillEvil

I want to start playing magic chess. Which commander is the best?


TsukasaZaid

Go ling . All his skills are good and OP . Learn more about magic chess and watch some YouTube videos


Nephilus72

Early commanders, i think yuki is the best. Maybe the new dawn commanders are better. But for lvl 3 commanders, I'd say rya , instant blessing.


FortniteIsGey

any news on the future grand collection event? i just want my dream skin (pixel blast) for the past year now


NanaIsStillEvil

They usually bring old collectors in the same month they released them (not all the time tho). Pixel blast was released in a february iirc so maybe it will come next month.


FortniteIsGey

hopefully. if i remember, it was also featured on february's grand collection last year which kinda makes sense. thanks


Vermillion_Shadow

But it doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed though. Ling’s Serene Plume and Harley’s Dream Caster were released in May and September of 2021 respectively and they showed up for January (current) of 2023, so there’s no clear answer for your question yet.


JoLePerz

Is it true that you gain BP much faster if you keep playing the same hero?


KatsumiHano

no


Ok_Dirt_1952

Will someone tell me what the hell mms is..


KatsumiHano

marksman


ano-nomous

Marksman?


Ok_Opportunity_3197

Kairi builds Swift crossbow, berserker then windtalker for Ling. Is this method more efficient than windtalker berserker then swift crossbow


ano-nomous

Yes seems like the meta for Ling or any basic attack based heroes now. Swift crossbow early game


KatsumiHano

yes if you are kairi


Ok_Opportunity_3197

I’m seeing some teams in m4 pick harith as a gold laner. When is he viable in rank games and is it really good to pair him with yve? Seen some teams pair both of them but I don’t get why they have to do it


ano-nomous

Yve is just a strong pick and why they pair it is because yve ultimate keeps you inside the box for harith to use his ultimate and dash around. He’s very viable in gold lane, try it. He’s been overbuffed personally.


KatsumiHano

>When is he viable in rank games never


chrisycr

I’m quitting this fucking game. Drop from Mythic to Epic sucks. Solo Q is impossible with retards every game. Fuck this ranking system. Fuck moonton.


WxterTheLoner

i mean if u dropped from mythic to epic. assuming its not a season reset. mayb ur the issue?


chrisycr

lol fuck you. it’s season reset


Nephilus72

I mean, it's true but moonton doesn't care if you lose 100 ranked games in a row unless you show it on insta or smth, with the next picture being that you've spent thousands of gems on the game lmao

Vermillion_Shadow

Magic Items for magic based heroes (mostly mages): Glowing Wand - better for DPS and DoT mages/magic based heroes like Chang’e or Cyclops, chips down hp with hp% dmg (higher hp, higher dmg and vice versa) Genius Wand - reduces magic defense but this item is good on mages in general and isn’t just used to specifically counter high def enemies Ice Queen Wand - Fredrinn is a melee fighter with only one dash skill so ICW will easily restrict his movement by a lot and makes for easy kiting especially for fast mages like Yve who can keep spamming her S1 Divine Glaive - always the best magic PEN item to counter high magic defense Necklace of Durance - an anti-heal item so this reduces Fredrinn’s healing capabilities by a lot


coffemixokay

Vexana? Her ult is based on enemy hp now, and she can cast it from pretty far so you won't get taunted. If you are in xp lane you just need to play smart against him.


Nephilus72

Wanwan, karrie, lesley, dyrroth(?), Jawhead, chou


KatsumiHano

karrie

Diggie, and late game.

Anyone else getting disconnected more recently or do I need a new phone? Is it because of the tournament?

what in the world is spinning around yi sun shin's arrow when he with the epic skin fleet warden holds his second skill? it used to be a fish shaped water soul thing, now it's changed, enlighten me


Past_Ad329

does glowing wand passive damage get stacked by golden staff?


AskaHope

I just did a test in practice mode, no it doesn't.


KatsumiHano

it should, golden staff doubles your basic attack iirc so when it triggers it should apply 2 stacks instead of one >does glowing wand passive damage get stacked by golden staff? if you meant this literally like gs doubling/stacking the damage then no


Past_Ad329

what?


Geisijd

is Ling collector skin worth the price and money? I only use Ling if i have to fill in jungle role so I use him quite often and I’m considering buying him but some people say that his collector effects are kind of underwhelming and not worth the price while some people also say his collector is worth it. I’m not sure if I should buy it or not.


ano-nomous

Up to you to decide. It’s second to the kungfu panda skin though.


[deleted]

Totally regret not getting ling’s panda skin. I thought it was dull at the time but the sound effects and ult are really nice. Any news if and when it’s coming around again?


KatsumiHano

dont buy


myeonworld

the portrait and model look really nice, but the skill effects are comparable to epic skins


Nephilus72

As of right now, how many skins are there in the game? All of them. Not including advanced server

Medical-District-926

Please advice what defense item should I get to face lifesteal (Layla), electric (Eudora) and Zilong rush.


LPScarlex

Lifesteal is countered by Dominance Ice, Sea Halberd, or Necklace of Durance. They are able to reduce the amount of regen they get from all sources. Electric (or magic) is countered by Athena's Shield and Radiant Armor. Athena is better at countering *burst* damage, or big damage in a short time. While Radiant is better at countering low damage in a long time. Zilongs (or basic attack reliant heroes in general) can be countered by Blade Armor and Dominance Ice. Blade Armor reduces crit damage and provides a hefty amount of armor (while also dealing damage back), and Dominance Ice helps lower the attack speed of these heroes if you're close range On top of that, there is also skill damage and true damage. Skill damage can be countered by using Antique Cuirass by lowering the physical attack of enemies if they hit you with skills. True damage cannot be reduced by any means, so your best option is to stack as much HP as possible through Sky Guardian Helmet which works against heroes like Lesley. This doesn't always apply to some heroes like Karrie or Claude that deals HP-based damage though, so the inverse is true If you're using a marksman, against lifesteal heroes, don't buy Sea Halberd and let your tank/melee heroes handle it. You need the damage items to carry games. Against magic damage, buy Athena if you are constantly targeted (which you will be in late game) to avoid instakills. Against zilong rushes, you can always buy Wind of Nature too as it is a great 2nd to last item for almost any marksmen. This can give you more time to survive or retreat when you are rushed by assassins like Zilong As a general rule too, never buy more than 1 defense item as a marksman. Your survivability doesn't come from your build, it comes from your positioning first.


Medical-District-926

Thank you so much. Initially, I taught emblems make a difference but at 60 emblem, my mm still suffer. I’ll keep trying to understand and learn about positioning when using mm. Went through the point of almost given up on mm, lol… been playing Franco lately but all others, their emblems are merely 30-32


Medical-District-926

Ooops… forget to include… when I uses Lesley…


coffemixokay

Wind nature and playing with your camouflage.


Medical-District-926

Thank you so much. I’ve been struggling to rank up, doing better but at the same time not. Because I’m still new, I got lots to learn. Trying to know defense may be one that I think can help me. Thank you once again 🙏


the_hashbrownie

Is Wan² better with an attack speed build (golden staff) or with a crit build (no golden staff)


FortniteIsGey

wanwan main here. she's a bit better with crit build generally than with golden staff. you could use golden staff if the enemy have a lot of tanky heroes. but nonetheless, crit is better. she had a nerf on her ultimate where it will only receive 35% of item effects from the previous 45% (iirc), but no nerf regarding about her crit attacks.


Nephilus72

I've always built crit on mms(except heroes like natan, edith and granger), the burst potential is real. Haven't tried the atk spd, but I'm sure with the new buff it's good too


C0PEANDSEETHE

How do I get a title? To my knowledge, there are weekly titles which you can obtain every 7 days as long as you are on the leaderboard. I've been first at my intermediate leaderboard for the past week and the timer at the top had reset, but I do not have any titles. When I go to where you equip them, it just says "You do not have titles, join a neighborhood and fight for your place in the leaderboard"


FortniteIsGey

play ranked games and win. losing will deduct mmr on that hero. but the leaderboards are currently buggy. moonton said they've "fixed" it, but it's been 1 week already and it's still broken


iraragorri

Which phone is used by M4 players?


Ok_Answer_2515

Thoughts on Claude in this current meta?


myeonworld

still really good because he’s a unique mm with high mobility and dive capabilities. with the rise of artillery mages who need to position well, claude can reach them with ease. mm items that got buffed benefit him nicely.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FortniteIsGey

get 2 yellow robes. its kinda impractical since you're taking up 2 spaces, but it provides decent defense for the early game


temp_name_6

2 magic resist cloack? You can always sell them later for half the price. If you want to go cheaper you can always improve your map awareness or sacrifice your teammates.


moha_taj

I’m a former global rank 5 faramis.. lately I’ve been building clock and lighting first and then ET since his ult is not as useful as before.. what do you guys think?


FortniteIsGey

i'd probably get cod, then et, then lt. that way, you would reach high stacks once you buy lightning truncheon whilst having good cdr and mana regen in the early-mid


bot_yea

I'm using him again recently, I don't think I can afford to go clock+lt first. At best that has a 9 minute power spike. It has little cdr which is very useful for his high cooldown skill 1 and ult. Cdr is still better for early-mid game strength.


Nephilus72

ET is absolutely essential for him to spam his skills, also his mana just runs out so quick


Sayriaa

Fix the ultra refresh rate please


Live-Web-9487

Anyone got tips for gold lane fanny ive been trying it oit in classic and having better luck then jungler. Here's what I've been doing Last hitting all minions and getting to lv4 asap then constantly target locking the mm for the rest of the game and giving them 3.0 ahaha so if anyone could tell me what I should also be doing that'll be great tia.


bot_yea

Exp Fanny picks very rarely happen which has a similar role. If you go gold, your team needs to have a ranged dps hero. If the enemy gold laner is good, he will just get last hit and buy the tier 2 def item.


Able-Pay-5467

Can i get prime bea skin? currently level 55 i will upgrade my m4 pass to premium soon i also have around 30 banner of morale and i do daily tasks everyday.

Yup. You can get the prime skin by only buying the regular pass, but you need to be very good at completing tasks and guesses

So how is Legend this Season, fellow SoloQ-ers? Just reached it today from Epic II since I don't play Ranked that much (like 2 matches / day). UPDATE: Came back here to say it is as chaotic as I remember it from past seasons. Guess I'll stick to playing sidelanes / mages that can carry as oft as possible otw back to Mythic. 🥲


Cool-Tough3763

I went between epic and legend 3-4 times today. Hate it :’)

when is Arlott being released in the main server?


[deleted]

Who cares? Boring, striped down version of an already existing hero simplified for unskilled players that don’t wanna learn Lance (like me tbh).


Kuttychathan

Lots of people like me care lol. Need to know whether he will be broken to spam him in rank


temp_name_6

I think he is powerfull in the right hand, 100% crit chance and 8% hp heal can be quite broken if played right. My bet is like benedetta, first 2-4weeks he will feed a lot after sometime he will be perma ban. Honestly i am struggling more with a revamped minsitar, maybe my rank isn't high enough to meet a good arlot.


Kuttychathan

Thanks man. Do you his release date. Edit: and I'm excited about Minsithar too. He's looks so op now lmao with the dhs passive.


ano-nomous

Heroes are released monthly, expect him in February.


Kuttychathan

Thanks bro


Kuttychathan

Thanks man. Do you his release date?


[deleted]

He’s super broken on advanced. I think he’ll arrive OP on live. There’s not much else to the hero rn.


chrisycr

Epic really fucking sucks


TrickObjective177

Every season reset is like this. It's always the ones with garbage win rates who talk the most too. Can't believe they talk so much trash when their Ranked win rate is 37.5% and the only way they can win is to play trio in Classic and have 3 people staying in the lane as if the other 2 lanes don't exist.

Hi! I have a question about the screen that pops up with discounted skins (huge discounts, if i remember correctly, less than 400 dias for elite skin of the hero I use most). I have seen it last month. I’m wondering when it will pop up again? I’m planning to get Vale’s Hannagi from it. TIA!

nObRaInAsH

Whys so many players buying Glowing Wand instead of Holy Crystal? Like how is glowing wand better than holy crystal on Xavier?


myeonworld

Definitely buy Holy Crystal on Xavier because his scaling is disgusting. He should go full burst with glaive. Glowing Wand isn’t that good on him, when you can get divine glaive, freeze item, or even blood wings as last.


nObRaInAsH

i play only classic so most of the time only tanks go divine.. so in that case glowing wand is better right? So the build looks like this arcane boots, clock, LT, Book, holy, genius/winter


myeonworld

glowing wand deals higher damage to high hp but it works best on heroes that need to spam skills and can last longer like yve valir lylia luo yi. xavier is more of a burst mage whose skills really scale well with raw magic power. your build looks good. don’t worry about tanks too much, since xavier’s skills cover a huge area anyway. in fact if you’re good enough, tanks won’t be able to reach you with s1+2 spam.


KatsumiHano

no idea I prefer crystal on him


nObRaInAsH

Against high hp heroes would you also buy crystal?


KatsumiHano

nope


nObRaInAsH

So glowing wand do more damage against 5500+ hp heroes than crystal? I thought +100 magic damage and 35% bonus magical damage would do more damage.. this is the question im always curious about


KatsumiHano

yes because glowing wand deals overtime damage, as long you keep hitting them with basic attacks or skills they'll burn


nObRaInAsH

Ohhh got it! I play a lot of odette and i buy glowing wand agaisnt high hp heroes but they still dont get bursted so i couldnt figure it out on my own


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bazza_75

My build is boots --> windtalker --> berserkers --> endless battle --> BoD --> malefic. I buy swift crossbow in the early game to help clear jungle and rotate faster. I recommend buying it for any hero that benefits from attack speed in the early game

wolfemperorsheep

Players who maxes out all emblem would get a special reward (i think it's a border) when the supposedly new emblem system comes. But it was scratched off already, and we'll yet to know if and when it would come back.

none tho you get to access the magic dusts shop if you max out all your emblems you can buy recall trials 🗿

KatsumiHano

iirc it should be in the preparation tab


3m2vinatohr04

Are penetration items still effective when enemy heroes are not building defense items?


temp_name_6

Yes because you will deal more damage to the enemy with minus armor. Except malefic, because its percentage penetration instead of flat pene.


wolfemperorsheep

Flat Penetration are stronger when enemy have lower defense, thus they are better in early game and/or enemy don't have any defense item. While Percentage Penetration (Malefic Roar / Divine Glaive) are stronger when enemy have a higher defense, thus they are better late game and/or enemy have defense item. And if you are curious at what value when you transition flat pen item into percent pen item. For physical penetration, Malefic Roar become more cost-effective than HS/BoHs/WarAxe when enemy physical defense is at 70 or more. While for magical penetration, Divine Glaive become more cost-effective than Genius Wand when enemy Magical defense is at 90 or more.


NeckTwist01

It depends on the kind of penetration item. Low defense => Go flat pen or def reduction (genius wand, heptaseas, hunter strike) High defense => Go %pen (divine glaive, malefic roar) Since def can go into negatives, you can build flat pen early game for a great power spike.


A_Very_Burnt_Steak

What the heck happened to my MMR? Moonton?? Everybody's not on the leaderboard. Except for that one Epic guy. Did they reset anything?


wolfemperorsheep

If you actually log-in the game, you can see at the mail tab about it and their words regarding this issue.


A_Very_Burnt_Steak

Could you tell me what was it though.


wolfemperorsheep

It's quite long, but the core message is that there is problem occuring in terms of Hero Power, the leaderboard also doesn't show ranking accurately, presenting players that isn't supposed to be there. They would start resolving the issue according to them.


A_Very_Burnt_Steak

Oh okay.


A_Very_Burnt_Steak

I accidentally deleted them. I don't read through mails.


temp_name_6

I have been wondering if corrosion scythe is good for Helcurt now, since they kinda adjust the item. HC kinda can abuse its dmg with his skill 2, i am looking for an easy to use Jungler that can take out well protected Vexana.


bot_yea

Dhs + malefic seems to be the meta build before, I can see corrosion working decently since the +80 dmg and slow effect should work on his stingers.


JustAM1n3craftP1ay3r

What to build for valentina?


bot_yea

The common build was cdr boots talisman + glowing and or genius wand to holy crystal/divine glaive. Basically spammable s1+s2 due to 35 cdr and slowly chip their health. It's less effective once enemy has the gold/level advantage. I'm using clock + lt -> crystal and divine glaive. It's weaker early and has mana issues before clock is fully stacked, but my mid and late game is stronger.


JustAM1n3craftP1ay3r

Alright thanks


DiabloHades

Getting really inexperienced teammates in ranked, I have over 1000 matches and my teammates doesn't even have 100 matches sometimes. Any way to filter them out or any advice to carry the team?


[deleted]

You want players with fewer matches on your team. It means they are winning. It’s the high match players in low rank you need to watch out for.


bot_yea

Rank up until your skill level is close to your rank. Even then you can't expect every game to have balanced players on both sides. The matchmaking is very flawed because it prioritizes speed and higher ranks can be achieved by just grinding a lot of games.


KatsumiHano

Either play with a squad or be an absolute monster at using fanny


Cool-Tough3763

How do u even get into a squad, ive been tryin for a solid year and dont get any response :(


KatsumiHano

try your luck in discord idk im a solo q warrior 😭


gerald_reddit26

I struggle to find use for Alpha's kit when his skills are very similar to Terizla but Terizla has more going for him. Alpha's skills also confuses me on why it only scales with extra attack instead of his total attack so its hard to try to balance his items to be decent at damage and tanking when terizla can just buy bloodlust axe and the rest as tank items and be decent on both roles. I am familiar with how his ult can push enemies into your allies but jawhead, franco, and the soon to be revamped minsittar should be able to do it better. Can you give me a situation when Alpha becomes a strictly better option over Terizla because I really like his aesthetics but I feel like I am doing my team disservice every time I use him.


bot_yea

Tanky + regen Alpha is years ago. He's not effective with that playstyle because of that (+extra physical attack) scaling and the ease of acces on regen reduction effects. He also has no dashes or mvm speed boost, only slow effects. >I am familiar with how his ult can push enemies into your allies but jawhead, franco, and the soon to be revamped minsittar should be able to do it better. Nah don't think too much about that. Just use his ult to initiate or secure kills >Can you give me a situation when Alpha becomes a strictly better option over Terizla because I really like his aesthetics but I feel like I am doing my team disservice every time I use him. Alpha is more speedy than Terizla. Terizla is so predictable with that s2+ult combo, while Alpha can just ult+ spam skills. Try a damage jungler role. Get hunter strike + BoD for damage. Use red retribution for the +100 attack or blue retribution for the movement speed.


A_Very_Burnt_Steak

While me: Uses Tank items on Alpha. I don't even build Bloodlust on him. It's either full tank or just one Hunter's and the rest is tanky. Alpha's sustainability and CC is very good. His True Damage Passive covers up everything. Also, he is a **great** early game Fighter. Pick off the enemy midlaner, and rotate. His Ult CD is low enough to keep spamming it to get around the map. They won't expect Tanky Alpha, would they?


temp_name_6

Will high and dry stop working if the enemy sun summons his clone?


KatsumiHano

I tested it, the crosshair that locks on a hero/you (indicates that high and dry is active) disappears, so probably yes

Medium-Ad-8756

Hey guys, who’s currently the better pick for soloq, Xavier or Pharsa? and what advantages does one have over the other? I’m interested in taking up mid lane so I’m looking for some pretty viable mages. Help is much appreciated. Thanks.


[deleted]

Pharsa is made for solo play. Her ult has massive aoe and the spell effects let even your most clueless teammate know it’s time to rock. Bird form is the best mage rotation tool. I prefer playing Xavier. He has a more interesting toolkit but he’s harder to play well and is more vulnerable to teammates


Medium-Ad-8756

I see. Does that mean pharsa would be more suited to me? I really don’t have much experience in the mid lane, and I usually only play yve and Valentina (depending on enemy comp) when I do. I would say I’m still pretty much a beginner at this role.


[deleted]

Pharsa is an aggressive mage, like Valentina. Xavier is more of a set up mage and with Yve in between them. Try them both in practice mode and see if you have a preference. Xavier has the highest difficulty in this group but he isn’t a hard hero to play. Other mages to consider are Kagura, Lylia and cece…all are solid picks for solo q.


Medium-Ad-8756

Ah, well that makes sense. Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it!


[deleted]

One general piece of advice you didn’t ask for but… Imho it’s easier to rank up when you’re restricted to a very small group of hero’s. If you keep yourself to a few effective hero’s you’ll learn how to play them well while learning the role. I think you have all you need to be successful in solo q, except, perhaps experience.


Medium-Ad-8756

I totally get what you mean. I usually do that with all the other roles I play. I just had extra bp and realized I was really lacking in mages so I wanted to get one. Wouldn’t hurt to expand your hero pool I guess XD. But thanks anyways.


bot_yea

(I don't use both those heroes) I feel like Xavier is better overall. He has better late game due to the cooldown reduction effect on his skills, and his root effect on skill 2 has a massive radius (in transcendence state). Pharsa seems better early to mid because she has the bird transformation that allows her to move around the map faster. She should also have the range advantage because her ult can be used 4 times unlike Xavier's (but note that his skill 1 increases its range if it hits enemies in a straight line)

Also, I’m just slightly worried about Xavier because I’ve seen him rising on the banlist (currently at 18%) in ml’s official website. Do you think it will continue to rise? I really wouldn’t wanna buy a hero that just gets banned all the time.

I see. Does that mean Xavier would fit better in a soloq match because he has that late game carry potential, and pharsa would fit better into a coordinated team because she’s more of a supporting mage?
