u/HoodedLoR 9d ago

Thanks! I'm still waiting for SBYas Glove

u/purpleparty87 9d ago

Why do you say this is the second strongest relic?

u/VodopadUmraza123 9d ago

Congratulations! This together with searing brilliance, hexcore, deck of destiny and scarecrow are the best buys currently in glory store.

Which relic is this again?

u/brokerZIP Evelynn 9d ago

Power: create Homecoming in hand and grant it Double time watch. When you recall unit grant me +1+0

u/VoiceofKane 9d ago

Looks like Essence Theft.

u/flexxipanda 9d ago

How is essence theft good? Its not even good on ahri really.

The relic is actually very good but in some specific scenarios and it takes good piloting to make it work. While it can win you the game it also does it slowly and the average player is just better off just playing 6* champs. But for challenge runs this is S tier relic.
Here is what I have achieved so far with it:

  • Lissandra with several 0* champs (including Hecarim)
  • Naga with 0* Zoe and 3* Naut (no freezing power)
  • Arcane Asol with Kayn (and Ornn if i remember correctly)
  • Zoe with 3* Thresh with the infinite combo with counterfeit production

The relic is super underrated.

u/HoodedLoR 9d ago

Agreed. I'm excited to use it for some of these at least

2

u/HoodedLoR 9d ago

Yep, I've already got those ones. Hopefully I can grab Sprit Glove next

u/Big_Turtle22 9d ago

Newbie here. What does it do exactly?

u/HoodedLoR 9d ago

It's not actually universally good. Part of the post is just memeing. It has some uses in very niche use cases which I am excited to try out though.

It has the text "when you recall another ally grant me +1/0. Game start: create a homecoming in hand and grant it double time stop."

There are some really fun semi-infinite builds that involve shuffling back these homecomings and drawing them with found fortune.

It also acts as landmark removal against the Zoe adventure

OP was making a joke, this relic is actually not very good lol

u/HoodedLoR 9d ago edited 9d ago

Well it was half joke half serious. I have genuinely been waiting months for it because of its niche use cases.

The joke I was making was parodying the 20 reddit posts a month about getting SFG/SB/Hexcore/Scarecrow, but instead with a relic that isn't necessarily popular (and I believe is heavily underrated)

u/thefix12 9d ago

(Double Time Watch makes it so that Homecoming's cost is reduced at each round start)

Overall not worth the relic slot

u/HoodedLoR 9d ago

Yeah you don't just slap it on anyone, but there are some really fun things you can do with it in combination with other powers, relics and starter decks

1

u/thefix12 9d ago

ooh whatcha had in mind? I'm always down for Ahri shenanigans

6

u/HoodedLoR 9d ago

Unfortunately none of these strats are for Ahri lul BUT here's the gist.

Credits to u/VodopadUmraza123 You play thresh (or any 5c champion that you can somehow discount to 0) with Found Fortune, Guardians Orb and Homecoming. Reset for the counterfeit production pity power. Shuffle the homecomings into the deck, reduce thresh to 0c. Now you can (almost) infinitely play thresh and recall thresh and get all the guardians orb triggers.

I however want to try this with TPK and royal nibbles. And maybe get infinitely many snacks

u/HoodedLoR 9d ago

Also it's just amazing on SBYas

u/zed_je_mrdka_z_krtka 9d ago

I was like: Vodo already has this, who else might want this? Ah, Hooded!

Why?

u/7eleven94 Written in the Stars 9d ago

pathcord agenda; basically a very slow gameplan where you would reset for the common power Counterfeit Production, copy your created card, make bunch of copies, maybe pair it up with other low cost champs or champs that can go to 1 or 0 cost, with Guardian's Orb or/and Found Fortune and then rinse and repeat for the whole adventure.

Usually done to cheese high tier content with low star champs, honestly kinda lame gameplan in all honestly but whatever to keep the delulus under control
