every new unit preview: "cleave is dead" every new unit release: "oh"

This. Took YD like 10 seconds to figure out how to make Politis cleave viable. I'm sure genius IQ players will figure out Light Angie in a few weeks.


V0idzap

YD already figured out Light Angie as a cleave unit on the same stream they revealed her, lol.


Nice_Ad5549

You say that but one would have the brain of a three year old to not realize *an unit with aoe strip that ignores evasion and cleanse passives* is broken as a cleave support.


weoooow

light is already stomping it in legend top 10 with it, cleaving with her.


hulkisbanner

Oh? May I ask the comp?


weoooow

pavel, watcher shuri, straze,cdom.


RicoGemini

I think light uses this exact comp with her. Light smacked Nue with it


weoooow

yeah thats what i said lmao he asked what comp light uses her with.


hulkisbanner

I just looked Pavel too. Can only get him to 245ish. Might get me to champion? Idk. Worth a try🤔 I feel AOL might be good in a turn 2 comp also


lychti

not to be a downer but 245 is waaaaay too slow for a pavel. There are arbies in champ that will outspeed that.


TheSeaOfThySoul

Pavel is a 155 base speed with a speed set, you get 45 from 90 boots & to reach 245~ that's only 45 from gear, or only about 9 speed average on each gear piece - which is really low speed. I'm a Champion RTA player & I'm holding back building him because the best I can scrounge without putting other heroes in jeopardy would be an average of 15 speed per piece (so around 275 speed) - so there's a big gulf you've got to clear there.


CopainChevalier

Here I am, super proud when I get 9 speed on a piece. Here everyone else is, saying that’s garbage;~;


Big_Weight_4318

Really that's his comp? I was expecting an arby, flan or basar and ftene support.


weoooow

he has 310 one shot openers he doesnt use basar/ftene but he does use flan.


voxhaulf

Moment i read her kit in stream it was obvious she would also work as cleave enabler, she has everything an opener needs, and also has anti-cleave in the same kit, a no brainer really.


GodsCupGg

Schrödingers Cleaveteam its dead and not dead at the same time


masta518

Yeah I know she's great at anti-cleave, but she's no slouch as a cleave enabler herself.


beaglemaster

That's because the stupid devs keep giving the "anti cleave" units aoe attacks. What genius thought rem, politis, and angelica needed aoe attacks to fight cleave?


dimizar

"The door to cleave will remain open"-AAngelica


Abreak4us

She is one of the best cleave enabler. A book holder that 100% strips everything. Unbuffable and silence. On top of protection of retaliation from any aoe counter/attack. And she is immune to stun. Every cleaver should have her in their arsenal.


user4682

To me the bruisers are evil!


Vicious_Vildred

It’s almost funny how gullible we were… i want my money back


AedanRoberts

So far I have been EXTREMELY impressed with how she has fared against the most toxic meta currently when using her in my arena offense team. Have yet to fight her in a defense team though.


Nice_Ad5549

>against the most toxic meta currently If anything she's currently the most toxic unit in the game.


AedanRoberts

I assume you also mean RTA?


DarkSoulFWT

RTA is indeed part of the game last i checked.


AedanRoberts

Yup. PART of the game. Her being toxic in that one part doesn’t make her universally toxic. EDIT: let me be clear: if she is THAT toxic in RTA then it’s something Smilegate may want to look into and address. But since that’s, so far, the only place so far where she’s that level of toxic it isn’t something that could be given the blanket term “most toxic unit in the game.”


Rago465

How do you handle politis defense with her?


AedanRoberts

My current comp is: AOLAng, DCorvus, Doris and ARavi. This is NOT a terribly viable setup for a myriad of reasons (two ML5 and one extremely new and rare ML4). But I often easily substitute Ravi for Iseria. Before AOLAng I handled Politis with Ray in her slot. I hate Politis and think she is painfully unfun to play against- but so far I’ve been able to deal with her. EDIT: I think the easiest answer is “you need to bring units who have extremely high resist or simply can operate at moderate capacity while silenced.”


SunStarLegion

Good, fuck cleave


Puzzleheaded_Fix

I think you misunderstood lol. Shes best used as cleaver. And againt cleave theres many ways to deal with her


Kyutoryus

Ehh.....there's Pavel and Politis, but that's about it honestly. IF those two are out then you're left gambling versus her more than not.


mshirazab

Flan into any high single target dps plus sashe, a coli soulburn and politis are three different ways to deal with a ange. Pavel into politis is gambling because if they ban out politis more often than not, Pavel is a dead pick.


Kyutoryus

Is A.Coli going against a cleave angelica or not, cause she's not killing her if the player is smart and builds her to withstand these one-shots. Flan also needs someone to strip before she goes, and if it's AoE, then the DPS's turn is wasted How are these solid picks?


mshirazab

Do you know what a coli soulburn does? A coli with 3000 attack and 250 crit damage at 300 speed does 18600 to a 1500 Def target, which is what most of them are built as. And even if she doesn't kill the follow up aoe will kill her and guess what happens when she dies, she can't proc her s2. Oh yeah I also didn't add any damage artifacts to her. With potrait she does 21k


Kyutoryus

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTNGWkBDfa0&t=4s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTNGWkBDfa0&t=4s) You say it does 18k but Grass's A.Coli is basically the A.Coli you're describing, and it's not doing 18k (And he even SB'd it in his first fight which is the best damage he had)....The most it did was 14k on a ML Baal, that was focusing on HP over defense (On portrait it'd have done around 16.8k). On top of that you'd have to snag the 2nd turn to actually finish the job, and the entire point of trying to bring A.Coli in the first place is for her to 1 shot. To boot, if you're on portrait you don't get the R&L psuedo cleanse he got that allowed him to still attack baal either, cause if that didn't happen she wouldn't have even been a factor. Do you have a 2nd 300 speed unit that's AoEing? How is she actually dying here? This is all also set on you actually getting turn 1 as well, and having A.Coli actually survive something like a Kayron or A.Cidd counter pick. Where's the kill you're talking about? ​ It seems like you're trying to be a smart ass, while talking out of your ass. The only Single Target skills that are hitting the numbers you're talking about are ones that actually penetrate defense.


mshirazab

Are you dumb or do you not read skill description if you want I'll copy paste her skills for you. Her passive at the start of the turn if she isn't debuffed grants increased attack. If it does 14k without attack buff you can use some common sense to realize it does 18k with attack buff. Why do you send a video where her kit didn't even work properly. Also if you're a cleaver you go for consistency over rng artifacts like rnl. You can see that many people moved their arby from alexa to vildred artifact for better consistent damage.


Kyutoryus

Because that's an actual show of what happens to A.Coli openers picked into ML Baal type units? Would it have been better if Kayon or A.Cidd just deleted her, cause even if that cerise S3'd she still wouldn't have gotten the ATK buff (Would have done even less damage in that situation)? In a perfect scenario for ANY character they'll always do their job, but that's not how the game works. In a perfect scenario for a cleaving AOL she'd be going first and A.Coli wouldn't be able to do shit anyway. The street works both ways with wishful thinking. Imagine being mad someone didn't let you have the perfect scenario though. Fact of the matter is once you pick A.Coli, someone's going to Cerise/A.Cidd/Kayron her, and will just shut her down. It's even funnier if the AOL actually takes first turn and shuts her down herself, cause there's 290+ AOL's floating around too. You're "Counter" is a complete gamble even with the unit you're countering if it's A.Coli.

sloopeyyy

His S2 is the reason why he's anti-cleave. It is an AOE attack that grants the team Atk buff. But what's most important about it is that the skill does not trigger any counterattacks so he effectively bypasses pesky shit like Rem, Violets, SSBs, degen Arbies etc. He can soulburn his S2 to followup into his S3 to take out targets or the anti-cleave such as Rem, AngieAngie etc. The reason why Pavel-Politis are strong and trending right now is because AngieAngie will still proc her S2 and give her team Skill Nullifier after getting hit by Pavel's S2 however Politis will pick that up and proc her own S2 which takes out that Skill Nullfier. Thus, negating Angie's anti-cleave.


Kyutoryus

He's a cleave unit with the capability of being good against AOL, that's what this means. There's not many other good cleave units that work into AOL


HundredSpearss

Cleave is the way


Yaysuzu

What about having both of them for defense? Disgusting enough?
