He plays like a go-wide swarm deck that just swings with everything once you get him down. You play around with deathless to clone units with any of your self-slaying effects. His ideal support champions seem to be any of the other SI champs with sacrifice packages like Kindred and Thresh. The new rare relic, Disciple in Shadows, accelerates the game plan dramatically.

I haven't done anything particularly hard on Mordekaiser yet, but Wollawolla's take sounds about right. You use Deathless to trade and use sacrifice effects while building up a board, then you either bring Morde in to close it out as a huge unit that murders things and drains your opponent, or you just have a critical mass of revived things with big attack and overwhelm to roll over their stuff. The big thing to keep an eye out for imo is a source of something that can help juice your death numbers so Morde is ready to level immediately once you reach him. Azir/starting with the location that gets you sand soldiers, ephemeral units, the power that gives dead units' power to something in hand to make more units pass the 5 power break point, stuff like that. Also, Disciple In Shadows is an Epic relic and also the easiest way to get him down early, and I don't think there's a rare relic that does anything quite equivalent. Still, if you can last until Morde comes down he's probably the best Corrupted Star Fragment user in the game, since eating one revived unit turns him from a tanky challenger to a giant brick with Overwhelm and you don't even lose anything. EDIT: Well, I guess Wicked Harvest also helps wipe your own board, but unless you want to also hurt your opponent's board I don't rate it that highly? When Mordekaiser comes down on 7, you should ideally be close enough to leveling to not need to blow up your own board on top of the revivals you're already doing.

Agreed, you really want CSF on Mordekaiser to keep scaling him. The nice thing is that he’ll revive the unit he eats - if you get the epic item that gives a unit rally on death, you have an infinite combo. He also really likes Starforged Gauntlets and Disciple of Shadows, ideally both. With those, you can usually get him out on turn 3 or 4 and still have a large board.

Obvious, but he's extremely fun in the challenges where every unit gets killed and revived every turn. Even more so than Thresh, who only benefits every odd turn due to effect order shenanigans.

I just got back into this after putting it down after I unlocked and maxed the original 2.0 crew (so there are a ton of champs I don't have). One of my rare relics in the emporium is the Corrupted Star Fragment, which I have seen people post about. Is it worth getting that, or should I save my stardust for the gold thing that gives epics?

Just save your stardust. Corrupted Star Fragment doesn't do enough on enough champions to be worth going out of your way for.

Lurks With Wolves posted:Huh. Maybe I just really overvalue having separate bodies on the board. There are several good reasons to use CSF. There are champs whose boards start to get cluttered - you've got six units on board and they keep piling up in your hand, and you need to start culling somehow. There are champs who really benefit from eating a unit with a specific keyword to amplify them. (For example, if you're running a champ with CSF, grabbing a support champ that grants you access to a unit with Lifeleach is a no-brainer.) Finally, if you eat an ephemeral unit or a unit that has a big temporary buff, you keep that buff forever! Eating that temporary +3/+3 every turn is great. I took a look at my roster to see who I currently have CSF on. I don't have all of them at 30 and some of these are probably not optimal, but: Bard is one of the champs whose board and hand get very cluttered with units and the champ itself really needs to get, like, Regen Overwhelm and Lifeleach to start loving things up. Diana - pretty frail at 4/2 and you need to get Overwhelm on her somehow, which is done by feeding her Crescent Guardian. Ekko - also a dweeby 4/2 and there's synergy with the random keywords you get on units with Predict Elder Dragon - can help with Overwhelm if Ruby-Eyed Conjurer didn't work Elise - totally in character for her, also girl doesn't even have a Quick Attack by default, you need something to keep her alive when attacking Gnar - turns him into a super-unit with all that extra Impact and stats Evelynn - again, lots of dudes in hand, gotta do something with them Janna - eat all those cheat Updrafted units Kai'Sa - even though she already has the spell to grab other units' keywords, I find she's also one of the champs who needs to start culling the board Kindred - works for the champ's power, if you can't trigger it with a spell on that turn, also pretty dweeby Leblanc - eat that Ephemeral Leblanc or that Mirror Image, over and over Lee Sin - I don't have it on him atm, but I just realized eating that +8/+8 and making it permanent on the champ would be pretty funny. It'd only work once, but that's fine. Miss Fortune - she straight up needs CSF. Entire hand filled with trash! Morderkaiser - hilarious with this guy! you eat someone and they survive it! Nami - I personally find it hard to keep Nami herself alive without putting CSF and Regen on her Nasus - I mean, if you survived to the point he's on the board that's pretty good, but the bit of extra oomph you'll get from eating someone will help if you still haven't won Nilah - Eat those extra units you get from Fleeting Neeko - CSF gets her from F to like a B Samira - lotsa units to eat, usually, so why not? Tahm Kench - ironically I don't use it on him Taliyah - she's a little meh otherwise imo and she needs the board space eventually The Poro King - CANNIBALISM Thresh - in addition to all the usual reasons, he needs mfers to die Veigar - it's easier to keep the little poo poo alive if he eats units you don't need anymore Megazver fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Dec 23, 2023 |

I did NOT realize that Elder Dragon's I CANNOT BE STOPPED also a) prevented him from dying as an Ephemeral Unit and b) prevented the Scout Relic from returning him to the deck. That's insanely strong! Got a Leblanc support and using Mirror Image on Elder Dragon results in death for the enemy if I have Overwhelm.

You can only do it in PVP against humans, so whatever. But uh take the Poro King and grow a very big Heart of Fluff or put the Swole Squirrel into your deck (PVP, remember?) https://www.reddit.com/r/PathofChampions/comments/18sc1a9/so_if_im_a_pve_poc_only_player_this_is_impossible/

If your opponent decided to rope on every decision the games just took too long for me, I don't know if that's why the PvE took off more than the PvP and they're sticking with it. I posted in the wrong thread but still, rip.

I feel like if they didn't half-rear end going in on the pvp or pve content one at a time they could of really done a bit more, just feels like it was never given the proper resources from the start and were always swip-swapping between what to focus on.

They’ve never had proper monetization focused on PvE content. Skins probably get the most use in PvP, boards don’t do much and are mostly a show-off in PvE thing, emotes are useless in PvE. The special rare relics for ASol and Morde are really the only attempts I can recall at monetizing PvE. For a very long time you couldn’t even pay to unlock champions.

There are so many things mislabeled or flat-out wrong in the monthly challenges now. I don't know if the patch broke things or if they've always been this way, but drat if it isn't infuriating when the game straight fucks you over when you have limited chances. Edit: For example, Inspiring Presence reads "When the Foe plays a Champion, grant their other units +2/+2." This activates anytime they play a champion, play a champion spell, or when a champion is summoned through a card effect. PJOmega fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Feb 14, 2024 |

Yeah that's correct. I believe Game Pass only unlocks the base set for your account, but your card collection only matters for PvP so it's irrelevant in the current model of Path of Champions. It's been implied that there are big changes coming to the mode so things could change in the future.

Didn't think I was winning this game (partially cause i'm still not 100% on how priority works with all the spell speeds/phase changes) I have three medium creatures in play but none with Elusive. Crucially I did have the power that grants creatures a random keyword. The Tellstones give me access to Crumble, a Slow kill spell. But I wasn't certain if I'd get priority to cast it before they could declare attackers. So instead I took Spirit Journey, a Fast kill spell that also revives the unit, but I think that would be enough to remove it from combat. Well they didn't attack after Tellstones resolved, so maybe you don't give up priority when you cast Burst spells (besides to other Burst spells)? And then I got lucky and the creature I cast got Elusive as its keyword, they attacked with all giving me trades, making the rest of the turn much simpler.   Also I just realized there's a proper rules tutorial besides the Path specific one. Probably would've helped to do that first, but most of the time i've managed to get by with my mtg knowledge and trial and erroring the rest.

Burst spells don't pass priority, so you can play tellstones and the kill spell as one action, though you are also correct that killing and reviving an attacking unit removes it from combat. Edit: burst spells are essentially free actions, if you play nothing but burst spells on your turn, it's functionally identical to passing in terms of game flow (someone correct me if I'm wrong but they got rid of "burst passing" iirc) Pilchenstein fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Feb 22, 2024 |

lol this was a turn one kill (Remembrances had plunder, Frozen in Fear summoned a Champion) Yeah this was a 2 star champion on a 1.5 adventure so it was gonna be easy regardless, but it’s still fun to optimize.  I’m guessing unlocking and upgrading new champions felt a little less hopeless when the roster was smaller? Cause opening 5 random shards feels like a joke when there are 62 champions. Not really complaining though, because the game is still a lot of fun just with what’s immediately freely available.

Now it correctly counts as an action and gives your opponent prio back when you pass.

Epic relics are fun and good for giving lower-power champions a leg up, but you're far away from both having champions they can apply to and from having any epic relics to put in the slot in the first place. And when you need to spend 3000 stardust to get a spirit forge and an epic relic in the first place, just buying a spirit forge is a drop in the bucket whether it's 100 or 400.
