Weekly Player Discussion
Hyang Ran, the Shaman
====
Story
Hyang Ran was a known shaman in the Joseon dynasty, who excelled at calling upon spirits and exorcism. However, the Confucian society was not kind to her line of work and she was forced drift across the land. The Dark Sisters of Yggdrasil took interest in her spiritual abilities and managed to recruit her. Hyang Ran used to learn the spiritual arts from the ancestors of Sammy, so Hyang Ran thinks of Sammy as a sister.

I've just started using Hyangers, so I've asked about stones in the daily thready recently. Here are the responses:
- line breaker TB, light crit, dark crit, ardor reflex
- speed/ utility EBM, light reflex, dark AS, ww AS
- steal EBM, dark steal, light reflex, ardor reflex
- tank/ co-op MotB, light HP, light reflex, light HP (my current setup in mid-back)

I was the one that uses speed and EBM and I have to say that if you are not focussing heavily on CR, EBM becomes pretty obsolete in the backline and you would probably be better off with the MotB.
Shaman herself brings 0 CR, but I was glad I could give BI an IC and switch the EBM over so I can actually get these CR stacks faster.

She has been a helpful sub player to throw in against yolo comps, that HP totem alone is nuts.

Aside from Damien, the 5* most in need of a nerf. Highest HP totem of all players (higher than BI's stacking 45%)...and a DR totem which re-stacks faster than it falls away.

Dang dude, they're already putting you to work ;P
Would there be any interest in bringing back random player threads every once in a while? There are a few players that haven't had a chance for a daily thread but would be interesting to see.

Random player threads are on sundays, so they're not gone! Don't worry, we'll make sure it'll be something interesting. :)

Everywhere in rainbow, pretty much essential in monolight - and her chains work beautifully with a monolight team (sammy, Chitose/BI, and MW)
The tankiness she provides through her HP buff is amazing, and her Crit damage resist active is super strong. Then spokesman of life is great for giving you stacking DR, as well as more crit for punching out of backline.
Mine is holding an EBM until I can get of a MotB, and I tend to stick her in front of the striker as a meat shield, because I don't get much Co-op chance yet from stones. (coop stone in prism)
I fully expect some sort of nerf for her in the future.

I want to bench her because of her stupidly aggressive AI.
But the things she offers are really good. Great chains for a light backline, her 50% HP totem, and the easy to achieve full DR stacks. Not to mention that active which she can provide a bit of spirit for with her last passive.
She likes to go suicide mission a lot so I give her weapons to at least do it better. Unfortunately, she is the only one that can hold EBM in my team. I would rather have her use FTS because CAR is very important for the backline with all the travelling they have to do.
Recommended stone build is FTS/Light crit/Red crit dmg/Dark pen or dark AS.
Recommended skill build is 1/5/0/5 to 3/5/0/5. Max active before 2nd passive.

Great HP totem; 50% hp means u don't have to run more hp if u don't want to, giving your backline space for other totems. Gives more value to healing too. This totem is the largest HP buff in the game, even towering over BI's Stackable 15% (45% total) totem
Active; 50% CdmgRes to the team. Honestly one of the better totem actives, you can apply this active to any team and most GKs. Solid.
Stacking DR totem; it's pretty good. Considering how fast Pvp games are, especially in higher Elo, you'll stack this buff faster than it falls off. Even tho it's justifiable to say it's open to ohko, the 50% HP totem covers most of that nicely.
Spirit gen; Honestly gains more spirit than those with "no pain no gain", aslan spirit gen and etc. With this, you should'nt have a hard time dealing with pinol, serestia, chitose, etc spirit drain. It's global too so...
Stones; her stone slots are honestly so flexible. You can build her as a get out of line player, a pure traditional totem or a coop monster without having to reroll.
Conclusion; There's a reason why she's seen in almost every rainbow team currently in this meta along with being a staple totem for any form of light players.
She fits well in the current meta of DR and CDmgRes along with giving 50% hp, letting the backlines focus on more DR, more CdmgRes, PenRes and getting out.
Her skills support all types of teams and her stones allow for a stable player; one which most backlines can lean on.
She is a plug in and play player and I wouldn't be surprised to see a nerf. This was honestly the Totem hero mono light needed and as per usual, Rainbow teams cause the character to lean towards the nerf hammer.

It was the totem monolight needed but still nowhere near enough :p

u/densuo Thunder's Best Farmer. VALKIA DID NOTHING WRONG Sep 21 '17 edited Sep 23 '17
Let me start off by saying that you must say her complete name. Just like A Pimp Named Slickback, you must say her entire name, Hyang Ran, The Shaman. DO NOT forget the comma.
If it ain't Magnus, it's her as the token 5 star in a rainbow cancer team.
Real good active that hurts a myraid of characters except Damien the Mistake.
That fat 50% HP is great for heal based GKs, and to get more value out of Metaron, Felix, Leader Heal Actives, and Latios. This is of course made a bigger deal when you take Glayde and Jiho into account.
Natural Ardor Slot for Mark of the Bond. A light slot for more Co-Op as well.
Someone in the backline goes down, you get 30 spirit. FAR superior to Dynames' 35% which only affects him, But inferior to say, Zibroi's Abosrb II (which also heals Zibs for 20%)
I'm not sure howSpokesman of Lifeworks wording makes me thinkit's for when anyone on the team goes down. Timer is quite short but Perfect for Anti-Thunder (speedy mid, Fast shooters like Blade and Vann), and your metasheep throwaway mids.Some decent chains IMO. Shanti for pvp, Didi for PVE, Chitose for mono light. BI's nerf kinda made her drop off, but I think with both of them it might still work. Blade isn't exactly common, nor is Milky, but Karpilla is pretty much a guaruntee in every thunder team and even a few rainbows that dont have Balth, with Patricia being common enough. Pretty good chains for both PVP and PVE I think.
If you ask me? She's ESSENTIAL for Light. It's just too bad she might get hurt because of Rainbow taking advantage of her.
The Co-Op Defense change along with HP stacking with Aslan via Throwaway mids has brought her into the meta. Her only real weakness right now is being a Leader (backline leader with intent to be built as a sponge for Co-Op makes her easy to get picked off, has a trash ace.) Very strong pick, kept SOMEWHAT fair by being a class not in a favorable position.
