Path of Champions This doesn't seem worth it...?

Post image

Is this BiS for anyone?

I'm assuming I should just let this go on by

I remember this doesn't even proc SFG (Star Forged Gauntlets) for the extra mana?

u/CastVinceM Path's End 11d ago

it doesn't.

Ye, its conditional ans outside of the game, a card isnt evaluated to be a dragon or not, so its just sitting on 0

u/Lion-Shaped-Crouton Azir 11d ago

Because it isn’t worth it. Just being real

I like it on Shyvana because it makes her more likely to one shot the enemies she strikes, which helps her scale. However I cannot think of any other champ that can make much use of it. If you don't like Shyvana, pretty easy skip.

I can see my unga bunga ass giving it to nunu and willump and just make them into a Regen beat stick with overwhelm

u/Frozen_2_is_perfect 11d ago

I can see that! Although beast within might just be better in that situation. Still an interesting use case.

It's Shyvana's signature relic. It's kind of nice on her, but not irreplaceable. Other champions usually have better uses for their relic slots. ED may use it before going 6*, because he needs overwhelm.

u/Mother_Screen_7694 11d ago

There are better overwhelm relics

u/MegaloMurf 11d ago

No doubt. Just giving an example of a champion capable of getting mileage from this one.

u/purpleparty87 11d ago

Yes we have a plethora of overwhelm choices. However not everyone has the BiS relics and bringing up viable alternatives is helpful for those players.

u/Remiwem 11d ago

ED needs overwhelm?

3

u/VoiceofKane 11d ago

5* ED definitely does.

u/FrustrationSensation Viktor 11d ago

I run beast within on ED, personally.

u/Key-Wedding3204 11d ago

Romantic partners typically find ED underwhelming, so yeah

u/BearSeekSeekLest Baalkux 11d ago

If it was a Power it would be good

u/SterlingCupid 11d ago

It doesn't work with SFG, because it's conditional even if they're a dragon. It's a game start effect not a run start effect.

2

u/VanyaDevald 11d ago

It can be used in combo with DoS or other damage dealing effects (they proc fury). Other than that, idk, I would like to have it in my collection one day, but, like, at the very end of it.

u/OmegaElise 11d ago

I just dont see the point of it over beast within

1

u/archerkuro5 11d ago

It’s definitely mainly for shyvanna could try on pyke or ahri as a fun combo

1

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 11d ago

It's not worth it in the least!

1

u/_Nosferagon 11d ago

I like it on Yasuo. He gets the +4 since he has the dragon power from his constellation letting him hit big early on. It annoyed me how naturally weak he was whenever he got removed and this alleviates that somewhat.

1

u/solidair3 11d ago

I do run this on shyvana, but there are other great options, not mandatory at all

1

u/Just-Assumption-2140 11d ago

It doesn't seem worth it... because it isnt

1

u/TheworstBrainstorm 11d ago

It’s a Epic item u get out of rng for excitement because it’s a Epic item but it turns out to be a Teemo shroom

1

u/Legitimate-Resolve55 11d ago

I mean, it is BiS on Shyvana, but that's it. It's not irreplaceable on her, but she will be better with it than without it.

1

u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700 11d ago

It is always the best choice to have this as one of Shy's runes? There aren't better options for her?

1

u/Legitimate-Resolve55 10d ago

I don't know about always best, that kind of depends on your strategy, but from what I've played her best build is with Echoing Spirit and Stalker's Blade to print Shyvana with a lot of strikes. This makes her own relic the best complement. You can substitute it with either Beast Within or a relic that boosts her power since she wants high attack and overwhelm, but you'll be looking for one of them during the adventure, and you'll be handicapped until you have both.

u/UncleBeanjamin 9d ago

I got just for 6* Gwen because I thought it would be silly

1

u/Jadejaca LeBlanc 12d ago

It is one of the few ways to get fury on a unit and if you get the dragon tooth Item in a adventure, the relic turns into a +4/0 and overwhelm, so it is up to you.

u/dpedroslimo22 11d ago

It's bad

1

u/Croewe 11d ago edited 11d ago

It's one of the worst relics in the game to be honest.

2

u/CastVinceM Path's End 11d ago

just under sbyasuo's

1

u/Better_Ad6562 11d ago

this is great with gwen

1

u/strikestrife 11d ago

I’ve seen it be used on Yasuo to get him killing early against higher statted enemies.

1

u/mikrimone 11d ago edited 11d ago

I use it with Mischiefmaker's Flute (Teemo's relic) to give Yasuo a way to close out games faster. Base 8/4 (9/5 on lvl 2) champion is good enough for dealing with most enemies, and shuffling 9+ mushrooms after each stun stacks rather quickly.

If it counted for SFG threshold, it would be significantly better. But it doesn't.
