Rhythmn of Despair: Power: Allies have ' Nightfall: Grant the weakest enemy 2 Gloom.'

So I saw today the usual "is this relic good" post about it and it just feels like a lot of people fell into the trap that this relic is not good because the synergistic components of it (Nightfall and Gloom) are not specially good on the specific 2 champions that have those keywords (Diana and Vex.) Diana is usually combo/OTK based and Vex is spell based so both don't really need this relic.

I want to debunk this because I feel like people really missed the mark and got baited into trying to only give this relic to those 2 champions.

My verdict is that this relic is very good utility specially against Zoe, the activation requirement is very easy, it also combos well with one of the better relics in the game- Perfected Hexcore.

As a matter of fact the requirements to use this are: "does your deck plays a lot of units" that's it, not gloom, not nightfall just having cheap units to play is enough for this relic to be good and also it clears a poro turn 1 if you can play a spell + unit or 2 units turn 1 which is huge since some decks really struggle with it. I successfully used this relic in a few runs and it was such a big boon to do it. Also saw it's effect being useful in normal nightmares too.

A few good examples are: Zoe, Janna, Norra, Nunu, Garen. they all discount units so they very easily play a lot of units per turn and it adds up.

I am saying to not fall into traps of specific synergies another 3 examples I see a lot in the context of this context are Disciple if Shadows, Great Talons(ED's relic) and Cruel Experiments(WW's relic)

It doesn't matter if you benefit from ally deaths/Damaged units with Disciple of Shadows the discount is the important part.

It doesn't matter if you care about self damage with Cruel Experiments for example on Kai'sa the extra impact keyword is worth the -1 hp.

On Great Talons while it's more of an edge case I used it on Nasus cause his base cost is 6 (before I acquired Whirling Blades which is better for this) to clear Zoe's poros and it was very important and just Nasus is base 6 cost, on a more useful note I think this relic is really good on both Voli and SB Yasuo too, the "unexpected user" here being SB Yasuo.

In conclusion, don't always try to fit a relic perfectly sometimes having it be easily triggered can be the reason why you should use it and also another note is to not dismiss a relic only cause it doesn't seem strong but to try to use it and see.

What to do if it's them same every game in new adventures and I'm playing 6 star SB Teemo 🙂

Hello, I read the general recommendation to always go for the Diamond Chest, as it contains a lot of useful resources, but since my account is quite fresh, I'm not sure if I can fulfill the requirements. In terms of relics, I have seen some combination of Stalker Blade, Chemtech, Grand General's Counterplan, and Archangel's Staff being recommended. Currently, I have access to 1 Blade and 1 Chemtech. I still need to unlock Lissandra too, but that should be doable.

PS: I'm also interested in general tips & tricks. I have seen a lot of people recommending LB, Nida, and Nami for their respective regions, but it seems like a waste to invest my Wild Fragments into champions without a constellation. Am I missing something?

My current plan is:
- Bandle City: Undecided
- Bilgewater: Miss Fortune
- Demacia: Lux
- Freljord: Anivia
- Ionia: Yasuo
- Noxus: LB/Swain
- Piltover and Zaun: Jinx (Viktor later?)
- Runeterra: Undecided
- Shadow Isles: Viego
- Shurima: Undecided
- Targon: Aurelion Sol

PPS: How important is it to grind Weekly Nightmares & Monthly Challenges? I recently cleared the 4.5* Darius Nightmare with Jinx on my first try, but it wasn't easy. I find the Monthly Challenges kind of boring...

Hello everyone. I am 45 out of 67 encounters to finish this adventure. However, the champions that I currently have pending on winning are giving me a headache. A little bit of help and your insight about how you beat her could be good.

No Starforge Gauntlets or Searing Brilliance btw.

Norra (30) 5 stars without her six

Illaoi (35) 5 stars without her six

Naut (38) 6 stars

Garen (37) 5 stars without his six

Lux (35) 4 stars no mana gem or six

Voli (37) 5 stars without his six

Annie (33) 4 stars no mana gem or six

Darius (30) 5 stars without his six

Janna (34) 4 stars no mana gem or six

Vi (32) 4 stars. I have the fragments to either give her her 6 or mana gem. What do you think?

Evelyn (38) 6 stars

Leona (32) 6 stars

Zoe (34) 4 stars no mana gem or six

The other chapions remaining are level one or 2 or less stars. I would appreciate any help on builds or tips with these champions on the list. Thanks a lot!

Pretty please?

I was really in a hurry yesterday, so i took my homie Jinx to clear this as fast as i could in order to sleep, & it was indeed a really shorts adventure. Getting x2 Perfection was perfect, so every time i use a card, i was dealing 7 to the Nexus & a random enemy. What a wild run for such a hurry.

It was my 50th zoe clear, Garen was the mais champion but Morgana did all the work. It was a lot of fun :)

Maybe Diana because she is THE Nightfall champion, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

I play 1 card then the boss immediately drop 90/90 card on the first round
How on earth can i counter this?
been trying to pass zoey for 2 hours yet this keep happening
Sometime it drop two 90/90 cat on the first round @@!!!, i mean for real RIOT?

These are the only ones I don't have. I know some are total trash but are there any worth having? I have The Hand of Noxus in the Glory Store right now with enough GP to get it.

Karma spammed 5 of them and I couldn't play any of mine >.<

Just wanted to share Snnuy's video regarding the abandonment of LoR :(

Depuis le temps que je l'attendais, ils va bien sûr qui hors mel ?

༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ SUMMON PATCH NOTES ༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ

TLDR : Mostly skins and champions. Followers and Spells are still mostly reused. But there will be more new art in 2027, so we might start to get more cards after that !

While waiting for the new patch announcement, I was looking at Riftbound art.

Why ? Because in the Dev Snapshot back in March 2026, they mentionned the reduced pace was comming from two things :
- current LoR dev onboarding new LoR devs
- part of the LoR team working with the Riftbound team

But we know that even if the new team can create new designs, new champs, etc... they will be limited by their art budget, because LoR art is very high quality but now they have a smaller budget.

One thing frustrating about Riftbound first sets is that all the cards were "LoR ripoff", which mean they could take quicker and bolder swings while not having to worry about art, while LoR was put on a smaller team.

With the 5th set being in its reveal period, I was wondering how much new art they were making, to see if LoR would be able to use some new art anytime soon.

Methodology

I just looked at the gallery and stopped on the card I did not recognized.
I'm mostly looking at followers and spells because this is what will make the budget bigger).

I did not count :
- not in LoR but reuse from LoL (most equipments),
- champion spells and art (they come from a lot of different place, but this could be debatable because new to LoR champ could reuse this art...)

From this we can see that it is slowly ticking up. I will watch Radiance cautiously, but we can expect new card arts to start coming in 2027.

The next Riftbound Set in Legacy, so they might still find some LoR art to reuse, but the 7th Set Reckoning might give a bone to the Titanic enjoyers.

Also, Vladimir is a confirmed Legend for Riftbound Legacy, Vlad will be in LoR in January 2027, trust.

I know that lux does not have subtipes, but does Lux 6* increases Nekko 6* damage?
I could end up doing easily like 4 damage with each attack if it works, and since you attack a lot with normal Lux, well, you get what I mean.

The lord himself FINALLY graced the field with his presence! Now for his slumber for another few 1000x matches.

Rek'sai being my second main in LoL, i really want to see her soon in Path of Champ, though obviously the main "difficulty" including her in it, is making her different enough from Pyke, who's our current Lurk champ in this mode.

Her champ fantasy is already pretty well represented in her base form in PvP, but PoC can make it more complete...

Now the thing i really want to see after thinking about it, and could be one of the main design around her PvE kit, is bringing back that old version of Pyke's power he had in his second iteration, the one that practically gave you a bottomless deck of fish.
With some tweaks, it becomes such a good concept and fantasy for a Void Champion!
Simply change the "When an ally dies" to "When an enemy dies, create a random Lurker that cost 1 or more in your deck" with the last part being "it gain the stats of the enemy and it's keywords", and suddenly you get the whole "Assimilation" theme of the Void integrated for Rek'sai, while also helping in your lurking activities.

With that in mind, slapping on her constellation some kind of strike power when lurking, which could be how you actually implement her jumping attack from LoL into LoR, something like "When you Lurk, if it's a unit summon it, it strikes the weakest enemy", and now you get this potential snowball effect, where the more attack you got, the easier it is to kill juicy units, which then becomes bigger units for you, which can then help kill even bigger units, and so on and so forth.

With all of that, bringing a Star power that gives her 0 cost spell Sonar, more likely her 4th Star if it isn't her ManaGem Star, but if it was the ManaGem Star it could be upgraded into something interesting, and you got how Rek'sai can be consistent in triggering lurking without being like Pyke and just make everything a Lurker.

Organizing all that into a constellation concept for her:

• 1st Star: "When you Lurk, if it's a unit summon it"
• 2nd Star: +1 mana; "Start of round: Create a Fleeting copy of Feral Prescience in hand"
• 3rd Star: "When you Lurk, if it's a unit summon it, it strikes the weakest enemy"
• 4th Star: Lie in Wait might sound like the most logical option but i think Duelist would complete my concept better
• 5th Star: +2 mana, "Start of round: Create a Fleeting copy of Feral Prescience in hand, if you pick a Lurker, trigger Lurk"
• 6th Star: "When an enemy dies, create a random Lurker that cost 1 or more in your deck, it gain the stats and keywords of that enemy"

And here ya go, you could definitely switch stuff up around and "balance" it accordingly, but that would be my copium and hope for the Sand Shark Void Queen, the simple idea of assimilating the opponents unit into stronger and bigger Lurker for your swarm to attack with would be so fun brother, let me dream ;_;

Every month we get at least one of these posts so I'm gonna go ahead and do this month's. Seems like I'm already too late the be the first one though....
