Does anyone know if the Nora gets returned to the original rune owner if you do this combo? I am pretty sure you don't get the sacrificed champ's nora yourself... so does it go to the original owner or just disappear?

It goes to the runes original owner. Also if you cast retribution on a champ you possess, it will hit one of your own champs.

In a way, it's a cheap, improved form of banish.

assuming you get the possesion for free, or do enough with the possesed champ to make it worthwhile. its a 75 nora combo that can give a very dangerous nora advantage. Run with a cursed temple out it would be ok i suppose.

I was thinking Disturbed Spirit or Enchantress. Maybe Crown. Besides, BAnish costs more Nora (I think) and sets cooldown to 2. This sets cooldown to default. And yes, cursed temple.

Banish cost around 50 nora off the top of my head. And DEnch or DSpirit arent particularly useful champs otherwise. If the Elsari siren makes it through beta in decent shape on the other hand...

Don't start! They'll cry nerf upon mentioning that rune!

Oh, well. It really isn't that hard to stop her style of possession. I don't see a reason to nerf her. I mean, if you're going to play with nothing but high 90's champs, you probably deserve to lose, anyway.

I have a bg with this combo. 2 X cursed temple, 2 banishes, 2 doms, 2 dark enchantresses, and 2 sacs. It works pretty well, but you have to have all your other champs be really cheap or you will have no nora to pull all this off. Also, 10 of your runes are already taken up by stuff to reduce their nora, and only 2 are champs. This does not leave much room for other stuff.
A good champ to include in here is a Toll Taker, because when you sac one of his champs, he will also lose another 8 nora.

That leaves you 2 spots for FW. Seeing how the other 6 runes need to be high-cost UD beaters, I don't see how it'll work.

Well I was using 2 pincushions which you can keep pretty cheap, as well as deep elf mercenaries, which you can keep pretty cheap. Succubi are pretty cheap as well since they have volatile, and are flying with charm and life siphon. I think I had switched out a merc for the messenger for drive and init, plus she is just overall sweetness at 78 nora.

I've had my necromancer get possessed and harvest one of my Lich kings before. That gives the Nora to the opponent.

It certainly wasn't fun when it happened. This is just one example of what domination can do to different opponents, when used by a skilled player.
