Attuned Leif Showcase

Attuned Leif Showcase

These past few months have given Leif the perfect set of skills and teammates to team build around! This is easily one of my favorite alts of one of my favorite characters, basking in this glow up feels like a dream in my matches at the moment.

Weapon: Arcane Parasol, this weapon provides much better team support and damage over his prf. Losing his consistent Brave is the only con but it’s much easier to turn anything into Brave nowadays, regardless actual damage is better than 0x2 or 0x4!

Special: The True Njorun. I love this special, so much fun. And is what the whole build is based around. He wants his team to be in the fray with him, he’s not trying to be a solo carry.

A: Arms Shield 4. This skill is PERFECT for his playstyle. Let his teammates cover the Red matchups, once they go in he can take out whatever he can while fulfilling his Special’s gimmick of being near an ally for a Non-gravity refresh and and for his unique Canto. For now he’s taking out modern red units just fine which is surprising to me.

B: No Risk…. When I saw this skill’s inherit restrictions I knew it had to go on him. Reaching that 30 speed was no joke (thanks Parasol!) but it transformed him into a monster. The true dmg/dr, potent, and 40% reflex all just blends in perfectly with this unit. Also Parasol losing the Brave effect from his prf allows potent to do full damage.

C: Shadow Shift X. This skill is overloaded af. +4 to all stats and +7 post combat healing for him and allies in crux range, and then the typical +5/-5 dmg on newer skills. But no that’s not all, you also got reposition in your canto. And guess which unit has Canto Ally 2,2? he’ll always be around someone to repo and passively buff.

Seal: +6 HP/+4 SPD/DEF. This came in clutch on reaching 30 speed. I believe once he hits +10 I can swap to something else but I’m not even sure what that will be just yet. The build is having no issues at the moment.

X: Sly Echo. His options are pretty meh right now but you can never go wrong with gfu and more true dmg.

Extra: A few months ago I got extremely lucky on a banner he was rerunning in and managed to pull like 7 copies before hitting 40 pulls for spark. I’ve made sure to show my appreciation! I just need to pull one more for the +10 but no one wants his fodder at the moment so I decided to make this post now.

Teammate: Last but not least, this new Brave Sylvain was EXACTLY what he needed in a teammate. Sylvain spreads Frozen like it’s an st- while providing NFU, lowers enemy defenses, helps Leif a ton with mobility and breaking ice, and lastly covers Red matchups for Leif (though Leif has had better results in that department most of the time..)

The M&M and Cinnamon Sweets last week were Magical

Eating them felt nostalgic despite them both being new at least for me. Each bite took me back when Crumbl was brand new and I was obsessed. The M&M tasted just like the first time I had the sprinkles milkshake cookie (and when that one reran I was soo disappointed, it tasted off from how I remembered) and the Cinnamon one was unbelievable each bite genuinely had me "mmmm!"'ing.

I hope those were a sign that Crumbl is back. I went from eating Crumbl a few times a month to once in a blue moon over the years but if the quality is back then I'm back as well!

I LOVE the Gambit Enhanced Teamup!

The cooldown is easy to work with, half the time I forget I can use it again till I check the icon. The mobility is nice, Cyclops is already a pesky poke hero to pin down.

But that’s all just the base and I’d rather stick with the Phoenix one if Gambit isn’t on my team. The enhanced part is what makes it so fun. Turn it on and I just blitz through health, it’s so addicting. People really underestimate how much faster the firing speed gets with it!

The Mantis teamup is better FOR NOW, but long term Hela’s will outshine it by a landslide.

The Mantis teamup changes absolutely nothing on our playstyle and overall gameplan. In terms of value it’s a high floor but low ceiling.

The Hela teamup is more demanding, we’re practically relearning Loki all over again with it. But you have to treat it like Lord progression, most of us are awful with it for now but put in the hours and it’ll flow easier much like our Trickster God himself did when we first picked him up. In terms of value it’s a low floor but the ceiling far surpasses Mantis’s teamup.

A Loki that put in the time to learn Hela’s teamup can always flex back into Mantis’s if the need is there. But a Loki that just sticks to Mantis teamup could never flex into Hela’s nearly as well.

Which content creators for Loki do you enjoy watching?

He’s by far one of my favorite characters to watch (he’s one of my mains so go figure lol) but I have a hard time finding many that make any content on him. So far I only know these three:

Nexus, probably the best Loki to watch. His matches can range from feeling like solo que content to some coordination. And he really nails how to be deceptive and tricky throughout the match. Which brings me to…

Sypeh, I appreciate his Loki for showing me how much easier it is to land directs hits by jumping often and some nice positioning without using Swap. But his content is just too coordinated for my liking, he hardly ever has any pressure and when he does the whole team is quick to help from the videos I’ve seen.

Jaee Tv, very similar to Nexus I appreciate his content being solo/little coordination on his team and rely on his own trickery to get plays.

Melee Punch + Chrono Kick Projectile

So your Primary Button and Melee Button both do the exact same 3 punch combo. However, when she’s in her Kick mode the Primary is overwritten for the kick projectile but her Melee button still allows her to punch.

I’ve noticed high level Rogue players take advantage of this really well. They’ll melee punch into animation cancel kick projectile. Something for us to practice to squeeze in more dps that could be enough to secure a KO!
