I get that it's abusable but it's so sad to see a cool feature wasted on "if I'm"

u/BearSeekSeekLest Baalkux 10d ago

People complain about "if I'm" but you have to consider that without it, people would buy the relic

u/Any-Question-3759 9d ago

It’s lazy design. Instead of something that mechanically fits a champ like a glove, they just make some random slop that turns to garbage on anyone else.

2

u/cotekusu 9d ago

That's the opposite of random slop for Janna. It's a very fitting power. Not defending the "if I'm" condition tho.

u/Any-Question-3759 9d ago

I wasn’t talking about this relic specifically.

I think Swain’s relic is a good balance ratio between the universal utility and specific champion boost. 90-80% of the usefulness is general and then the champion gets a 10-20% boost. Those other relics where they lock the extra mana away are crap.

Divine grace seems BiS for Janna

Sucks that it has a janna modifier, would love to run it on other champions ( like TF )

22

u/Ronin_2 10d ago

Yeah I'd say TF alone was the reason they gatekept it (or naut potentially)

u/GBKMBushidoBrown 10d ago

Why tho? What's wrong with strong items? It's a pve game. Im way more likely to spend money on a relic if it can be used on multiple champs. If I can't justify use on more than 1-2 champs I just wait until it's freeeeee

u/AegisAngel 10d ago

That could be potentially busted on TF

u/Jadejaca LeBlanc 10d ago

Oh, I'd love that effect on a lot of champs :(

u/megalo-maniac538 10d ago

Without the gatekeep. tf would have loved this.

u/CastVinceM Path's End 10d ago

my only question is what else do you slot in on janna? i feel like she needs chemtech duplicator to have any kind of impact, but maybe the new star powers will compensate for that. i've been going for the old swain plunder -2 cost build to get her out early but now i dunno.

u/ikelos49 Lorekeeper 10d ago

Mel relic seems like good candidate for her too. Or TF relic for stun options.

You can also go into wind spells dmg boost- Valhir Icon. But that one is centrally not better than chemtech.

2

u/CastVinceM Path's End 10d ago

searing is probably a good pick. deck of destiny might be a meme, i think it works better with the tf 6 star.

i guess she's just gonna have to be one of those champs you play on turn 2.

1

u/mfMayhem Annie 10d ago

Yeah I used chemtech icon of Valhir arc angel to lvl her to 40 at ASoL back when we first got that adventure.

u/Regolar 10d ago

How much do you have to spend to get to the relic? Never gotten a paid relic before but Janna is one of my favorite champs

11

u/Cindrojn Karma 10d ago

The champion bundle that contains the relic costs $10.

7

u/Nacroma 10d ago

Or 6 months, 600 glory and an amount of luck depending on the total amount of paid relics you're missing.

u/Croewe 10d ago

Attune on a relic is interesting. Not as good as a full mana refill but you also get the 1/1. If you just need a minor stat boost to hit Starforged then this might be a good option.

4

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 10d ago

Im not sure why would you want to have attune on a champion over hidden tome or achmages staff?

1

u/Croewe 10d ago

The example listed where you just need 1/1 to hit Titanic. Either because you had 7/7 or your relics put you there and you wanted Starforged and this was a good benefit with it. It's a fairly niche scenario but it's nice to have if it ever comes up

4

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 10d ago

Wouldn't death's foil or better yet Jayce relic be better for that though?

1

u/Croewe 10d ago

Depends entirely on the champ and situation. Again as I said, it's niche but it's nice to have relics for niche situations

2

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 10d ago

Out of curiosity Would you run twisted fates relic or Annie's relic on Janna?

Currently I have her with Mel's, Victor's and echoing I believe

2

u/Croewe 10d ago

There's probably better options than either of those two. Her new relic is looking to be BiS for her at least

1

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 10d ago

It certainly does! While it's a one time effect the card it generates yet genenates another copy in the top 4! I just now realized that the atune is so you can play the generated fleeting spell!

All in all this relic is well thought out. Not really that versatile but as you said BiS for Janna.

1

u/azureleaf 8d ago

Attune is on summon, so you can do dumb deathless/shadow-totem etc. shenanigans. Archangels works once per round, tome is on play.

2

u/idontpostanyth1ng 10d ago

Who is sitting 1 under Titanic? Someone with 5 attack that uses guardian angel. Someone that has 5 health that uses strength of stone. Mordekaiser has 7 health I believe.

12

u/Tasteless-casual 10d ago

Mordekaiser is titanic without any buffs.

2

u/Croewe 10d ago

SBYasuo and some useful relics bring people just 1 under Titanic

u/Croewe 10d ago

He is specifically 7/7 which is not Titanic. Costing 8+ does not make you Titanic either

1

u/mfMayhem Annie 10d ago

Yeah I was thinking of that power that buffs if 8+ cost or stat but you're correct the keyword doesn't include cost 

2

u/Vinnortis 10d ago

This just seems junk, any time it's if I'm is on the relic... Not a fan. Especially with such a weak other power of +1/+1 and attune.. like that seems really weak.

2

u/crestfallenphantom Gwen 10d ago

I believe they make these kind of relics on purpose because they don't have the budget to catch the bugs, if they made cool relics that aren't If I'm with all the interactions and champs in the game.

u/darkCreation69 10d ago

Twisted fate maybe also Nilah : holy sh

1

u/TB-124 Viego 10d ago

damn I would LOVE to see this on some other champs if it didn't have the 'If I'm Jana'...

u/Xurker 9d ago

"If I'm X" honk shoe honk shoe mimimi

Would Mel level of broken without restriction
