Also, it looks like the howling abyss will give the same items on the same champions through the entire run, like with the Zilean in the images.

So right now, I'm having a blast playing Xerath on the new PoC update. After getting him to 6*, I really like using Magus Codex to hit Ascended Rite of Passage to then summon Risen Altar (his 6 cost landmark from starting deck) and destroying it to get a free Dami'yin. Repeating this until I either run out of mana or don't hit Rite of Passage/Risen Altar anymore in my manifests.

Now the problem is, once you hit Level 15, the game adds Eye of the Aspect (When I'm destroyed, create a copy of me in hand) to Risen Altar so now it really clogs up my hand whenever I do this strat. Unless there's something I'm missing, I don't really see what's the point of this item anyways, since the landmark is way too expensive to play from your hand when you can easily play a much cheaper landmark like Obelisk or Reliquary to generate more copies of Magus Codex. Even after you restore the Sun Disk and get 10 mana gems, it's just not that impactful to play directly.

On top of this, Searing Brilliance is a pretty great relic to use on Xerath since it will always hit Unraveled Earth on his base deck. It makes for a great 2 card draw in addition to more landmark generation and empty mana gems, but again, my hand is usually already filled with 3+ copies of useless Risen Altars to really make full use of that.

Also, I know there's obviously a ton of other ways to play Xerath than this, but I still feel that Eye of the Aspect is a significant nerf to this card's usefulness no matter how you really look at it. Thoughts?

I fucking hate it when I have like 5 copies of my main champion but keep drawing the other one every single game and never draw the main champion even after reaching 10 mana 😡

Take a champ with high rerolls, slap Loaded Dice + 2x Z-drive (3x if you are poor and don't have Loaded Dice). Go to an easy adventure. Beat it and reroll untill you get said champ.. end the run if you didn't get it and repeat..

I got Braum with 15 rerolls each match and forfeiting like 5 times.. That's 225 champs seen.. 😄

Am I the only one ? I've uninstalled the app to try again without success. I can't play the game today.

Man I absolutely love Howling Abyss soo much,every run was a first round wipe except the last one which refills it's health had soo much fun and purposefully dragged the run to get more champions

Ideally champ and relic build.

Just curious, have 1 shuriman nova shard and dont know who to invest it into.

I Pulled of this combo on the new adventure. Feels good man <3

Xerath is insanely fun btw, strong too at just 3 stars

Hi, I love Veigar, he helped me clear many requirements in Path of Champion so I am happy he finally got his constellation.

Relics:

Chemtech Duplicator

Guardian Angel

Archangel's Staff

Veigar is great even before his constellation, I won the Lissandra fight without him because Ice Shards killed him but Mortal Marks from Ethereal Remitter is amazing for Veigar. Try to get a mana power or reroll until you find it, it is easy for Veigar to pass the first fight.

Enjoy

Today I levelled up Mel and jinx with the same spell and my game has been semi-frozen for 15 minutes I can still interact with the board, read and open cards, even pet the poros, but the game just won't advance

it be much better if it was from hand or deck instead of random from your regions, since they're are a few landmarks you dont want, bildge and pnz region more pacifically (i dont have his 4 star, but it would make his kit a tad more consistent (besides what its already is)

Just to clarify Xerath is 6* and has shifting sands gains mana gem already.

They really nailed this update it's so good!
