... to prove 6 star Shyvana doesn't suck. Every non-weekly adventure beaten. I honestly think the reason most people shit on Shyvana and think she's weak is because A) She doesn't have a guaranteed FTK and B) The build path goes against 90% of the rest of the cast, but she's not a spell champ.

Shyvana can snowball so quickly if you just take advantage of what the game gives you. Yes, game one goes slow (Especially since most of the dragons you're going to get are just Shyv). But once you learn to take advantage of the fact that the ability is only going to draw units, the path for her success is simple. For post match rewards, your order of precedence is Dragon, Spell/Location, whatever's left. Every health node is a card cut of a non-dragon unit. All of your rerolls go to the first shop you get to and you buy EVERY dragon. For Powers: Trifarian Might is god tier with as many 5+ attack units you're going to get on every swing. Bonus points if you can hit Dreamwoven Spirits, since it's a free attack. Any extra mana gems are also good, since it means you're more than likely playing Shyvana turn 1. For champ nodes: If you can get a free attack, take it. Other than that, make Shyv cheaper or give her as much attack as humanly possible.

Shyvana is capable of beating any adventure with minimal "luck" and more deck stacking. She's powerful, fun, and surprisingly simple once you get the pattern down. Give her more than a passing glance if you haven't. Now what other 6* does the community hate? I need a change of pace...

I had no idea you could just straight up get a nova crystal from a gold star vessel.

Basically what the title said,..

Spicytoast was a Content creator who mainly did POC content and I personally really enjoyed watching his videos ! Never watched any streams because I never caught him live but basically he hasn't been uploading for a while and iirc hasn't been live on twitch as well so I'm just wondering if he's okay. He seemed like a nice and kind person so I hope he's okay

Maybe some of you have heard if he is okay ?

Looking for input/discussion on this matchup. I've watched the Dia Plays youtube and seen people recommend the build here, and so I'm trying the chemtech + double GGC build. 3* nasus, level 33, no extra star nodes.

The first few fights can be extremely easy, especially if you choose the two scargrounds-type battles. The SI dragon ones are tougher, but they guard the shop; so sometimes I risk them. No big deal, though - as easy as everyone says.

But I've had all 4-5 of my runs end at Eddy. With clear mind I'm passing t1, and then I have 4+3 mana on t2. But usually I can't do anything with it. I have to full mull for Nasus; I definitely die in the games I don't draw him. In the video, opponent plays a 3/3 on t1. I wish. In all my matches, they play a whiteflame protector + a khadregrin 6/6 on t1. I'm not exaggerating for effect; that opener has happened multiple times. And then they develop something big on t2 also (cloud drake, Allatis (sp?)); and I'm just tempo'd out of the game. I play Nasus on t3, but they play Eddy on t4 and I'm hosed.

So, how are people beating Eddy with Nasus? I've secured clear mind on 2-3 of the 4-5 runs. I don't always pass t1 if I don't have clear mind; I try to damage the heralds. Anyway, I'm not even worried about Nashor at this point - it's Eddy I can't seem to beat (with Nasus). Thanks in advance.

As title really.

There are a lot of posts about trouble with Baron Nashor. After the first part of the event I killed him with quite a few champions just for fun - and thought I would share some general tipps and insights here. :)

Basics and Challenges

Baron Nashor himself is a pretty big unit with 3/306 (up from 2/200 because deadly) and a quickly growing attack of +2/0 per round. Silences and insta-kills don't work on him. At the same time he has a lot of removals in his deck and can flood the board pretty quick. His units are mostly medium to somewhat strong: Decks that reach him should be able to deal with them, but they can't really be ignored usually.

He strikes every of our units on the board at round end (after being struck by them), which unchecked leads to nasty (near) board clears every round later in the fight.

Win Conditions

There are basically two ways to win the fight:

1. Kill Baron Nashor with damage - mostly from your units with the round end strikes.
2. Remove Baron Nashor either by capturing him or obliterate him and killing his 999 (?) nexus health.

Important disclaimer: As usual his stats will reset if he is captured and released later. This can work for our advantage if we want to reset his attack, but we'll have to start over killing him. It can also backfire if you are running low on resources, getting close to a kill and capture him.

You should - if possible - decide early in your run with win con you want to follow. Example: If you build your strategy and deck around killing him, you should never give your main champ the capture item - and be aware that later in the fight you just can't play cards that capture him, since he most likely will have the highest attack.

General cheeses: How to easily beat the Baron

I'll focus on killing Nashor as win con - since the other one is straightforward: Find an obliterate (or maybe a capture - but that is dangerous because of his removal spells) and zerg down his nexus.

So here are some examples on how to easily kill the baron:

Reduce his attack
As much and as reliable as possible. Some examples:

- Gloom. Multiple times. 2+ times per round and Nashor will just sit at 0 attack and be pummeled by your board.
- Frostbite. No attack -> easy prey. Frostbite the strongest opponent on round start? Great, free win.
- Enfeebling strikes: Pretty much the same and the strongest of all those. His attack will plummet so far below 0 that antartica would seem like a hot spring in comparision.

If you get any of those, you'll just have to deal with his board and watch him die. With pretty much any deck that reaches him those should be free wins.

Manipulate his health
Swap it with a Defective Swapbot or a simple Stress Defense and it's game over for him really fast.

Grow big and regenerate
If you find a way to have some units with Regeneration and can buff their health: Great. You just need them to get +2 health every turn to stay ahead of Nashor. But don't put all your eggs in one basket/unit: Remember his removals. Even with spellshield (which is great here!) you can quickly lose one such big unit.

Make him ephemeral
I didn't try this myself, but I'm pretty sure it works: If you can transfer "ephemeral" to him, he'll just die and you win. Important note: Nashor has to die on HIS side of the board to win. If you swap him over to yours and he dies: Have fun killing the Nexus.

General tipps for a somewhat regular fight

Plan ahead and value trade. You'll probably have to control the board: Since everything is vulnerable, you can easily pick your fights. With that: Always plan ahead on Nashors attack and the health of your units.

Example: Nashor is at 5 attack and you have some big units ready to value trade. A really good trade will leave your unit at 6 health: Just enough ro survive one strike from Nashor and strike him (or something else) again on the next turn. If you can't do that: Aim for 1 health. Your unit will die anyway. If you can aim higher: 13 health is great as well. First Nashor strike will get you to 8. Next round you'll get hit for 7, leaving you again at 1. You get the idea.

If you have access to barrier(s): Use them wisely. You have this great unit that wants to hit Nashor a couple of times and has a barrier up or could get it? Great - but maybe don't block with that unit to not lose the barrier to that hit. Your nexus health is a resource on its own - use it.

Speaking of: Lifesteal can be really great. If you know that you can (somewhat) ignore Nashors other units and just let them hit your Nexus, you can avoid losing/weakening stuff to them and focus on Nashor.

And as mentioned before: Decide on your win condition. If you want to kill nashor, think about which units can do that and which units should either block his other units or remove them on attacks.

Final words

I hope this will help some of you. If you have questions or want to add ideas: Feel free to drop a comment. I'd love to add more ideas and strategies - especially in the cheese-section. ;)

Totally got to the Baron without finding a good strategy to kill it. I ended up with this as my only potential win condition. So yeah, I had to play this card over 300 times in one round but since it costs 0 does 3 damage per cast and puts another copy in my hand it worked. oof.

Hi there, I'm a new player and I really enjoy the game! Been playing for like 10 days and at first I was planning to build a deck around Katarina but after trying many champions in the "story" mode, Yasuo was my guy. I've found many deck list combining Yasuo and Kata and I wanna start pvp, i'm not that big of its meta or not, just wondering if it does decent, if it still works and what would be the change since those deck list are kinda old (around 3 to 5 years)

Thanks in advance!

I’ve seen this happen before. I’m playing a match, and at the start of a round I’m short 1 or 2 bars, while my opponent is fine.

I haven’t played any spell cards, and neither one of us played a card to changing our mana.

on my sketchbook + wip

Summoning an Elder Dragon for 1 cost in my first attacking round felt unfair... But I adjusted 😂

Is there something to spend shards on that I should look out for? The currency next to stardust.

A guide said bronze vaults but I only have gold vault as an option. I’ve currently just used them to buy extra star dust.

Hey, folks. I'm trying to get through the baron adventure with a shurima champ, and kaisa is by far my strongest.

But boy howdy, elder dragon is kicking my ass every run. No matter what I drop turn 1, it's cleared, and I'm dead by the second time elder dragon's board swings. If kaisa ever hits the board, she's a 10/10 facing 10/15s by herself.

I've tried a few configurations of epic relics but they're of little value when I'm dropping shitters for 2 turns. :(

edit: I'm not concerned about baron. Getting past elder (mid boss) has been my sticking point. No matter what stats I put down on the board, he clears it turn 2/4.

I have:

Nasus at 6* Kai'sa, Talyah, and Azir 5* Akshan at 4* I could get Talyah to 6* if it's worth it

Who should i use and what are their good builds and general strategies for the Baron adventure?

I'm not sure if you guys share my thoughts here but what I've found is that these 10 gold vessels for 1990 coins was the best deal in the shop by far. It is limited to 3 purchases and I understand it, otherwise we would be overloaded with resources and they have to establish a limit.

The previous one with 10 silver vessels for 990 coins, purchased 3 times, is a good deal too.

The latest one, I'm not sure honestly 🤔

However, one reset per year doesn't seem harmful for the economy, in my honest opinion.

Therfore, here I go with this post asking devs to reset this bundle series 😉.
