I left the game when they cutoff pvp, but now planning on returning for the pve because there's some additions there which is interesting for me. I know the game was so much free to play before, but how about now? Is the grind too much for epic relics? Can f2p players still clear nightmare runs? I had many champs upto 3 star when I left the game, just curious will it be a hard grind if I want to enjoy playig high star champs.

I've been leveling 3 star Hecarim for the diamond vault BP quest and it has been awful. I usually go Zed > Galio > Fizz nightmare (with greater cosmic essence) for 3 star characters but I could not clear Galio and hit lvl. 10 during my attempts. So I thought I'd unlock an epic slot at the 3 star Thresh adventure but that's been rough as well (The Tryndamere stage is where I struggle most). How are you guys playing him? I've been using the ephemeral spell mostly on attack and sometimes for blocking but balancing both has been a huge challenge.

For the Viego Nightmare, I was planning to try stacked deck + guardian angel + z-drive prototype and rerolling for Crush because I don't have relics like Beast Within, Death's Foil or Starforged gauntlets but even getting there seems impossible without a LOT of luck. Are there any other viable builds without too many epic relics?

Also, I have no clue why Irelia's blades don't get the ephemeral buff or count for the 3 star ability.

Picking nunu into spiders and Max 20 damage made this harder than necessary lol.

Done in this week's 5.5 star monthly, but it should be replicable because it's not really a build - it's Rhythms of Despair. The Portal Pals and Price of Retribution were there because I didn't know how hard Rhythms was going to carry me, and I refused to invest more wild shards and star crystals into this horse, so I didn't have challenger or hallowed.

Hecarim really struggles to deal with Nightmare boards, so being able to clear them just by playing units takes a HUGE weight off your nexus. I wiped twice to Field Musicians (+2|+2 to their whole board every round if they have 3+ units) until I put Rhythms on, and suddenly they couldn't maintain a board at all. Startling difference.

You can reset for Counterfeit Production to guarantee triggering the Nightfall Gloom effect, as well as shuffling lots of 1-cost cards into your deck. I had the Sweet Solitude (Time and Dedication forge card) power instead, but if I was going to do this again I'd reset for Counterfeit Production.

TL;DR: Rhythms of Despair and counterfeit production = you win

This might be a dumb question but why is that I can use my wild fragments for Miss Fortune, but I can’t for Asol? I have 128, as shown, so I have more than enough to do so, I’m just a lil confused…

Also, what powers should I aim for? The only powers I ever get that feel useful are the ones that give me more mana.

Summoned early, already silenced it, turns out the ai have 3 Mikhael's Blessing

man.

Hopefully my last run with Swain, I've been struggling

Kharox in the Illaoi adventure is an example; the AI is just guaranteed 4 cards it needs in hand on top of auto-summoning 4 units on the board.

There's no power or item that explains this; Riot just gives it to the AI.

Illaoi herself is guaranteed Tentacle Smash.

It goes against the whole point of a card game.

Feels good to play 1 card and win

I am just getting back into Path of Champions and am sitting on 2 Targon Nova Crystals. Which champions need their six star to function the best from the following:

• Leona
• Morgana
• Soraka
• Zoe

Thank you!

Im not even putting rictus here as a joke to avoid confusion.

Test subject #2 has tough and draw on strike.

Needlenose has challenger

Maddie has flashbomb satchel

My thoughts: Maddie is very solid and fits Ambessa but the damage to an Allie fits Warwick better.

Test subject is tanky. It's sad it lost barrier for tough the could of just kept the original item and add draw on strike but at least you generated keyword won't be wasted on tough I guess.

Needlenose looks absolutely amazing! Challenger lets it pull but I don't understand the point of it's other effect although I know it's to proc damage it's a weird one!

So I just did the 5.5 Adventure to complete the Ahead of the curve quest with Hecarim 3*. And got a high roll diamond vault!. I usually only get 40x fragments for two champions.

Relics were Starforged Gauntlets, Beast within and Guardian Angel. But I would not recommend this quest I think, Viego 5* should be easier if you survive the first fight.

Been restarting fights with Gwen since last Friday.
Finally got the Gold Reliquary that I wanted; you can keep your smelly gemstones!
