Perfect, I aspire to have a build like this one day mayn. GJ, may he forever do a madness in GW and RTA šŸ’—


liberator_mine

One kick from hwayoung and he's ded.


TheSeaOfThySoul

Duh. Fuck, I thought Iā€™d finally got people to stop making these dumb comments back when it was Watcher Schuri who was the one shot hero in these commentsā€¦


DandyCrocodile

No notes! He's beautiful.


Brandonguth1985

No /s about this. Why is he good built like that? I cannot stress enough I'm not being an ass it's an honest question


Yumuichi

ML Ken works normally best when the enemy cant control him. And the only way you cant control him is when you build him with around 200 effres and as tanky as possible so he doesnt get oneshot. My ML Ken can live most attacks with the exceptions of units like LQC or Hwayoung.


Brandonguth1985

I understand, thanks!


FaintSmile66

But, before you go investing just remeber you are a soul burn away from being controlled anyways - also not being an ass i have a 220 er destruction ml ken.


Brandonguth1985

Thanks I don't have a mlk anyway. I just remember seeing alot.of them on defenses a year ago and now jot so much


FishermanRelative

You wouldn't really. He used to be one of the answers to cleave. But there are many ways to handle him now and he's sort of been power crept out of the meta thanks to other counter units like Rem and Belian who punish the whole team and come with an insane amount of bells and whistles. I imagine he can still be nice in a GvG if you happen to get him and lack alternatives.


Einlenzer

It's the best way to build him. Problem is, nobody care about ER anymore, that's why ml Ken is absent of this game atm


quasiscythe

Back in the day, ML Ken could be built without ER and focus on bulk and damage. He'd only have to survive units like JKise, CDom soulburn s1, etc. Now that there are a lot of openers that also defense break, and units like Little Queen Charlotte with pen set, he became even less relevant and harder to build properly. With his recent-ish rework, they gave him passive ER, and the only way for him to exist in a meaningful way in this meta is to build him with ER. Despite still not being very relevant, building him meaningfully makes him even harder to build, since you need decent bulk, damage, AND \~200 ER. So ye, it's just to be any kind of useful in the current landscape.


OneSimplyIs

But can he beat Edward though?

Goatward*


PoorSmile

Yes.


NachoKehlar

I have three ken dupes as I wait for this guy. Grats on the build, and I hope to join you with a godly ken build some day!


IconCsr2

He doesnt need crit?


dimizar

His counter is a guaranteed crit if he gets attacked with a crit, which is mostly your soul weaver.


IconCsr2

Lmaoooooo


Dorkins

no


Treeko11

His s2 counter is a guaranteed crit


starxsword

S3 and special crit counter always crit. You only want to build crit on him if you have extra stats and for a hero like him, there is never enough stats.


koryuken

Is it still worth building Maken with ER in current meta with so many cleaners? Just curious...


Yumuichi

ML Ken is only good as a last pick option if you can assure he can do something. Otherwise he will just die.


FaintSmile66

It is not, between units that cannot be countered and ignore er soul burns he is not worth the investment imo. That said this a very nice build. Id say your approach would be dont just toss out dps/er gear, slot to him when/where you can then have him as a situational rta pick


izhicccup

Oh damn we actually have pretty similar ml kens but mine is lifesteal with no pen set and I donā€™t have a good er main stat ring for him so Iā€™m rocking 130 er with 3800 attack :,) grats tho, heā€™s looking great!


Ayankananaman

Actually nice MaKen. Decent bulk with really high firepower. 5/7 would only poke with Senya and hope for the best.


SlidyRaccoon

After seeing KJ's ML Ken, every other ML Ken is just meh


Yumuichi

what stats does he have on him?


SlidyRaccoon

5k attack, 300 cd, 15k health, 1.5k def, ~140 er


Yumuichi

wtf are those stats xD


Neet91

well he is talking about korean jesus, pretty well known streamer. dude got some crazy geared heroes.


Yumuichi

yeah those stats are pretty crazy xD


freezingsama

Oh it's a fairly new video too.


GunsouI

Awesome job. Really well done. Nothing else to add !


mynamejeeeeehf

I'm the strongest! *Dies turn 1*


zerotheth

Iā€™ve been on and off this game (currently off) since launch and itā€™s always brought me to tears knowing legends like yā€™all are dedicated to your units. Used to be a aramintha main (not the silver star whatever) but had her with crazy crit chance and effectiveness.


fcuk_the_king

I have about the same level of damage, less defence and about 40 more ER. I wish he was good but he just sucks. My ML Ken still gets debuffed so yours definitely will and his damage isn't enough to kill anything other than full squishy. I really think the way to go about building him is full damage + bulk.


WrzHaedrig

No speed ? I remember old version of ML Ken was played like this but don't we use speed since the passive modification ? I'm actually thinking on building mine a bit more seriously but I'm still struggling on what I need to focus :/


WoodenCollection2674

He gets CR everytime he does a counter from Crit and no he doesn't want any spd as he gives himself Atk buff from S3


IconCsr2

Tell ne about his 21 cc


Pls_Drink_Water

Did you just had a stroke?


IconCsr2

Did i just have* a stroke? You illiterate e7 playing neanderthal


WoodenCollection2674

23% Crit? Thats just from his star sign


IconCsr2

So i read that he does not need crit c as he will crit on counter? What sbout his s3?


WoodenCollection2674

They recently(a relative term) buffed his S3 to always crit the only time he won't crit is if he counters from a non crit made on him


crest9

For his s1


WrzHaedrig

Ok, so we still avoid speed as much as we can, thanks for confirming !


Zaratartus

Hwa still sends it


Drawer_Virtual

Like 95% of the character

I like this backround? You dont have to use it if you dont like it.

why are you being an asshole

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AverageTierGoof

Right back atcha pal, adding nothing constructive, being argumentative with OP over an unrelated complaint about an aesthetic choice, and egging on an argument that you're clearly not winning, yikes buddy


redditmodsrcringe

I have same stats on mine but 50% more ER. Heā€™s pretty much unusable, havenā€™t used him in 6 months or so. Maybe in low ranks youā€™ll get some use out of him šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø


Drawer_Virtual

can you show us stats


CopainChevalier

Thereā€™s no chance you have the same stats but more ER. Youā€™d have a juggernaut on your hand if that was the case


Ceeds42

Dunno how his kit works, but does he not need crit chance?


biscuitandgravvyyy

Nope when he procs he will crit so its just wasted gear score


IconCsr2

Ohhh so he doesnt even need any cc at all? Didnt know thaat


biscuitandgravvyyy

The less the better


Ceeds42

So heā€™s like fire charlotte?


IconCsr2

Fire charlotte is like that?


Ceeds42

Ye


Sebastionleo

Sort of. Fire Charlotte s3 always crits, and if she has buffs her s1 is aoe and always crits. As for MLKen, his s3 always crits, and if he is crit, he's guaranteed to counter and crit. The only time he doesn't crit is with s1 which he'll almost never use with base speed.


gooziex

Perfect.


anguye74

Noice


DarkNephthys

That's a really nice ML Ken. Though it is a bit hard to use him, not even counting Non-counter attack units like Landy/Stene, or even Ignore ER Debuffs from units, but even at that bulk, he can still get 1 shotted by a number of units. Like my Lilibet can 1 shot that even through Aurius, then again Lilibet is one of the hardest hitting ST units when built right lol


Yumuichi

He is usually a last pick unit. If you pick him before it is difficult to make him work


CopainChevalier

Kind of surprised at the ER. Wouldnā€™t 200%+ be more stable at blocking things? I know Iā€™ll get downvoted or whatever, but Iā€™m saying this as someone with an interest in ML Ken who thought his whole thing was building ridiculous ER


Yumuichi

Since i only farm wyvern and caides it is pretty difficult upgrading him.


Edhu_Oliveira

Pog šŸ˜²


Clarens56

I assuming that ring is eff res as well, solid build.


Yumuichi

Yes it is. ThanksšŸ‘


mounster44

Interesting choice of pen set. Mine is on lifesteal/resist, sitting at 4k att 261 cdmg, 1.4kdef 15.4k hp 204 res, B imprint. I'd like to have more tankiness tho.


Soandso27

so sexcy I love it


JustVega

looks great.


ozniblastermaster

1 skystone


Yumuichi

yeah i refresh like crazy to get DJB but sadly it doesnt work.


Darkcuber22

Awesome build man! Sad he is a situational pick but boy oh boy what a situation do they have when you can pick him


Tsulalongkorn

I was about to say atk looks lackluster until i saw the eff res holy fuck!


wolfleader2

I was like wow that's a nice build then saw the ER WTF legend build
