Literally even the explanation of the strat has me geeking, you’re like the Oppenheimer of Arena. Sees the music of the build, and then becomes renata+lulu, destroyer of worlds.
it's beautiful... I wish there were like a practice tool for arena so one could test out weird interactions, but Nidhogg almost reaches that, which is an awesome feat for a RUclips channel.
It is terrifying that the only reason arena isnt completely busted is because we don't have a way to practice/try things out. Riot knows we would find the terrible spaghetti lurking in their code
appreciate that bud i put some effort into visibility/timeline. i noticed most arena content creators just put full game and it's lame like that sometimes
@@KingNidhogg Not only the way you edit your videos, but also the fact that you have fun in the gamemode while still trying to min-max complicated strategies is really appreciated. Keep it up, hope you're in good health :)
Really entertaining! The light hearted commentary from playing against people you knew lead to a more, in my opinion, entertaining vid. I wouldn't mind seeing more in house games since you're playing against people who are also experimenting with builds rather than you being one shot vs them being one shot. The AP tank Yasuo was really cool to see and the interactions/commentary that came around with them being in the game~
Mage-tank Ryze is a pretty funny build I discovered where you go Seraph's and Riftmaker as your core items and then pray that you get mind to matter as an augment. What ends up happening is that with with the bonus mana from your passive and Seraph's gets converted into additional health, which then gets converted into ap due to Riftmaker. The augment big brain makes you even tankier due to the increased shielding from all your AP. Depending on what you build, you can easily get around 1200 AP and at least around 10k in health.
I have a friend that plays Ryze pretty often in this mode and his only goal is to get Talisman and roll into like 8000 mana because of his passive while building tank. He's gotten it once and when he did, it was terrifying to go against but unfortunately he lost the next round or two and got eliminated before he reached like peak Ryze gaming
Fun fact, having dashing on a transforming champ will reduce the cool-down of both abilities even if one isn’t a dash, e.g. rek sais tunnel on E is reduced and also her un burrowed bite is reduced.
I had a game of hwei where I found Skilled Sniper + Magic missle and expected it to work somewhat like this, but I actually got screwed over by it because my spells would trigger Skilled sniper and reset as usual, but then the magic missles would hit and then PUT MY ABILITIES ON COOLDOWN since it sets abilities to 0.5s. Additionally, since there's 3 of them that hit at slightly delayed intervals, the cooldown would get reset to 0.5s three times. I'm not sure why it doesn't happen here, but it might have something to do with QE or EE/EW? I remember those spells bugging out at some point Placed 2nd, but definitely would've won if I hadn't taken magic missle smh
yeah loads of champs get screwed over by the constant reset such as shaco with boxes, nidalee trap or even recast abilities being put back to 0.5 like anivia q
Since it seems that runecarver counts as spell damage for whatever spell you hit I wonder if it would be buffed through Axiom Arc on champions like Corki or Kog'Maw. Could be interesting.
Have you seen shield yasuo? You want Moonflair Spellblade or mystic punch (i have won with out them) for perma q spam. Then you go mercs,Rite of Ruin,spirit visage. These 2 items have given me over 50k shields at the end of the game. I like to finish the build with hellfire hatchet and death's dance or w/e tank items. I have solo procced combo breaker 4 times in 1 round.
Love your crazy arena build videos. Your understanding of the game is absolutely insane, and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else that comes even close. Which is crazy since apparently knowledge is power.
I genuinely would not notice if you skipped from round 1 to round 3. Thanks for pumping out banger arena content btw! It's super cool seeing all the different strats you come up with that end up tanking various champ winrates ❤
I had almost this same exact build yesterday, and got flamed so hard by my duo for missing my q's. "I swear man its way harder to hit than you think" is unbelievably relatable
the hard part is reliably landing it at 700 range. skilled sniper sounds good on paper but not as good in practice imo. it's best on stuff like morgana or lux where 1 landed q = 8 seconds root
thank you for all the hard work on this content. i'm just 1 viewer but it's really meant the world to giggle over your builds in hard times. hope you continue to find time for yourself amidst all this build strategy. gg king
I love watching videos because it inspires me to try and play something unique but I always run into people just doing some sort of full lethality or super-tank build with the same old champions. Is there a way to find a more diverse group of players?
One of the funny mechanics of rek'sai in arena is that Unburrow's knockup radius is scaled to attack range, so getting scope augments makes her hit ridiculously big circles. It's not good because there's still no way to scale the ICD per target, but at least it's funny.
you should try marksmage rumble! ive gotten it idk 5-10 times something like that, and ive placed 1st all of them. its crazy strong bcs the ad dmg on auto scales with his passive, so if you go full ap with nashors you do like 700-900 ap and ad dmg per auto when you proc thhe passive
no hate or anything but youre still using pre-nerf magic missile icon, it probably doesnt matter anyway since its just for people to get the idea of what the augment is doing
King, i saw someone stream play Illioi and Twistet Fate, they found out that TF can prog his passive on Illioi E when she uses E on the target dummy before round start. Maybe its funny idk :D
1:54 you can actually see who the team fought the previous rounds by hovering over the icons below the champ portraits, also you can see the arena you will fight in there
Omg he spun away rubble rousing if he took it he wouldnt die in a close up combat situation it would make him op cause he cant miss Q and he could survive the fire
Commented this on yesterdays video too but Maybe you didn’t see it Idk imma comment it again tho XD, so the idea was gamblers blade on naafiri, for some reason she stacks it really quickly so i think its great for beating the anvils record. Played a game Yesterday of it Where we only got to round 12 before we won, we didn’t win every round and i still got 14k from gamblers and around 28k Gold in total. Pretty sure if you Maybe also get clothesline you could get enough Gold to beat the record from the twisted gate game you played :D Shit just saw the endscreen on the gamblers video mb bro
There is also a thing where if decrease resistance debuff lingered after temporarily resistance buff expire, the resistance will get drastically decreased by the buffed number rather than normal. This is how sometimes rammus or sejuani get hundreds of negative armour/mr

Dude the vibes on this video were great, and the shard team seemed chill as hell.
Lot of fun all around, cheers 💕

We already have corki at home
corki at home:
U r the literal Walter White of Arena cooking up the most forbidden tactics the game has ever seen! Keep on the grind!!

Happy to entertain
Yuhh Erick quick question why did you opt for cyclosword and not something else
I love watching videos because it inspires me to try and play something unique but I always run into people just doing some sort of full lethality or super-tank build with the same old champions. Is there a way to find a more diverse group of players?
The yasuo omfg, the the one and only omg
Thanks for the amazing content, please keep up, love from Brazil
Those videos are so cool
Sounds like both if you are really enjoying the game and it’s really nice to watch

Probably my favorite episode so far!
Custom lobby right? Your comp was fun and the enemy comps were fun too.
Have you tried Skilled Sniper + Orbital Laser?
3s cd laser is kinda fun
yeah we always look
No way this works???😂
I'm one of the highest ranked Rek'Sai OTPs on EUW and this video got a good few laughs out of me, thanks for the content! ❤❤
This is the most skill issue video of king nidhogg I saw and Im loving every moment of it 😂
Now im just suddenly thinking of tapdancer urgot with runecarver
Hey, thanks for the game, sorry that our dodgeball got cut short. Gg wp
Bro couldn't land a Q to save his life 😂
you were so positive in this video, it was actually a really nice bonus. Keep it up !
Had to make it as good as possible given the dumpster fire two games prior that tilted me
The only arena content that i watch is yours. Divine videos!!
you should try marksmage rumble! ive gotten it idk 5-10 times something like that, and ive placed 1st all of them. its crazy strong bcs the ad dmg on auto scales with his passive, so if you go full ap with nashors you do like 700-900 ap and ad dmg per auto when you proc thhe passive
no hate or anything but youre still using pre-nerf magic missile icon, it probably doesnt matter anyway since its just for people to get the idea of what the augment is doing
I appreciate leaving the bad round in, still good to watch
What if you somehow got that augment that applies hit effects. Would rune carver and Voltaic stack on one another?
hah it would doubletap fulm like in last video if i got it
@@KingNidhogg That would be juicy Content!
Great Video, Imma try it later.
Fun fact, works with liandry and blackfire torch. as long as you damage was from an ability originally its fine
wtf real?
@@KingNidhogg ya idk why, unless they patched it? But to my knowledge it was working like that
King, i saw someone stream play Illioi and Twistet Fate, they found out that TF can prog his passive on Illioi E when she uses E on the target dummy before round start. Maybe its funny idk :D
patched, need runaans
actually Einstein of Arena
1:54 you can actually see who the team fought the previous rounds by hovering over the icons below the champ portraits, also you can see the arena you will fight in there
Yes I’m aware
Omg he spun away rubble rousing if he took it he wouldnt die in a close up combat situation it would make him op cause he cant miss Q and he could survive the fire
why are you playing on PBE i thought arena is still available in main server

Shit just saw the endscreen on the gamblers video mb bro
you should make shorts of your intros
How did rumble reduce mr to -17? I’ve had erosion and bloodletters curse before but never have I seen someone go from 250 mr to 0
Rumble have a -70% Mr debuff when landed both e. Additional abyss mask also have reduce 10%, with erosion and curse have - 40 combined.
There is also a thing where if decrease resistance debuff lingered after temporarily resistance buff expire, the resistance will get drastically decreased by the buffed number rather than normal. This is how sometimes rammus or sejuani get hundreds of negative armour/mr
Algo comment; good stuff nidhogg
what was the yasuo glazing all about 💀💀
nice vid
I don't believe you are a "skilled sniper" after that round 2 and 3 we all just witnessed 💀
ayy here we at
try this: q cd tham kench + goliath
7:30 winning without buying item is insane
Yeah I figured this wouldn't be a win. I've played enough ARAM to know that AP Reksai is garbo.
geekin off the evil ap rek sai cart
